Installation Steps

1. Loosen the tamper screw found at the
bottom of the unit.

2. Separate the back cover from the unit.

3. Drill or punch out the appropriate knock-out holes
for either a wall or corner installation, refer to the
installation legend above.

4. Make sure to allow for 20 mm/0.80 in of space
between the top of the unit and a ceiling or
object found above it.

5. Mark your selected location using the back cover
of the unit as a template.

6. Drill holes into the wall surface.

7. Thread the wires through the wire entry hole.

8. Secure the back cover of the unit to the wall
surface using mounting screws appropriate for
the specific installation.

9. Slide the front section of the unit into place
on the back cover of the unit. If the wires are
connected to electricity, then the power up
sequence will automatically start.

10. Ensure that the outer rim of the unit is tightly
joined, so that waterproof casing is not
compromised.

11. While the tamper screw at the bottom of the unit is
open, begin the power up process and access the
menus to change any sensitivity or other settings,
then press OK to save the altered settings.

12. Tightly close the tamper screw found at the
bottom of unit and put the detector into
operation mode.

Installation Do’s and Don’ts

Do

- Do ensure that the unit’s detection beams are perpendicular to the anticipated movement.

- Keep a minimum distance between adjoining NVX80 detectors to prevent MW cross interference, see the
beam pattern diagram.

- Do place the unit under a roof, awning, or use our all-weather cover for an outdoor installation.

- Do install the within the suggested range: installing the unit lower than 2.5 m/8 ft 2 in may compromise the
Pet Immunity capability, installing over 3.0 m/9 ft 8 in may require use of our swivel bracket adjusted downward
shifting the Pet Immunity beam and neutralizing the creep zone. Installing the unit over 3.0 m/9 ft 8 in does not
affect the creep zone.

Don’t

- Don’t direct the unit’s beams into swaying trees or bushes.

- Don’t place the detector facing direct sunlight or near a heat source , as it might interfere with the Active IR anti-mask feature.

- Don’t place any objects, such as shelves, ledges or plants, below the unit.

- Don’t place any reflective objects within 2m/6ft 6in of the unit, as this may interfere with the MW anti-mask capabilities.

Mounting Considerations

The optimal installation height for the NVX80 is

2.5 m to 3.0 m (8 ft 2 in to 10 ft).

2.5 m - 3.0 m
(8'2'' - 10')

Avoid installing the detector near moving objects
(e.g., swaying trees, bushes, etc.).

whether

If the installation site is near heavy traffic or objects
beyond the required detection range, adjust the MW
sensitivity and/or tilt the detector down.

In order to maximize detection efficiency, choose a
location that is most likely to intercept intruders moving
across the coverage area at a 45 degree angle.
