WIRING

-Power cable length

The power cable should be limited to the following length.

Wiring terminal is located on the upper part of the main box.

-When setting the resistance value using PLUG-IN EOL

Three types of signals - ALARM,
TROUBLE, and TAMPER - can be
recognized through the combination
of the resistance value and wires for
the TR, COM, and TP terminals.

-When setting the resistance value without
using PLUG-IN EOL

Wire resistors between the appropriate terminals as follows:

This feature may be used when connecting VXI to a control panel that supports the EOL technique.

By connecting a secondary unit (another warning sensor), you can extend the detection area and correct false alarms.
The secondary unit must have a voltage free N.C. output such as another PIR detector or AIR detector.
<Infrared (AIR) sensors, thermal line (PIR) sensors, magnet switches, etc.>

ANTI-MASKING OFF

When masking condition continues more than 3 minutes, TROUBLE will be generated.
TROUBLE is generated after 20 seconds under the anti-masking test mode.

Teaching mode starts when both the separate box cover and the main unit cover are
attached.
Please be careful not to leave any object within 1 m from the unit.

Using masking seals 2 to 6, you can set a special detection area for the horizontal position A or G.

Masking seal 2

Masking seal 4

Masking seal 6

Masking seal 3

Masking seal 5

Area can be set only at the both sides.

Five patterns of special detection areas can be configured by
applying a masking sticker.

1.5 × 10 m area can be set.

10 × 1.5 m area can be set.

5 × 10 m area can be set.

10 × 5 m area can be set.

Set to the desired area setting direction
(horizontal position A or G).

When setting other than masking
seal 1, cut off the knockout portion
at the lower lens holder.

Select a masking seal from 2 to 6
according to the desired shape of area
setting, and put it on the lens.
