Installation

Introduction

RISCO Group's WL X312 is a unique detector with signal processing based on two Passive Infrared
(PIR) channels. The WL X312 has an adjustable detection range. The detector is compatible with
all RISCO Group Wireless and Hybrid systems.
The following instructions describe the installation of the WL X312.

Mounting

Mounting Considerations

1. Installation Height: 0.8m - 1.2m

(2'8" – 3'11")
Typical Installation Height: 1m (3'3")

2. To ensure maximum operational reliability, install the detector perpendicular to the ground so

that the upper detection area is parallel to the ground.

3. For optimum detection,
select a location that is likely
to intercept an intruder
moving across the coverage
pattern.

With moving objects
keep distance of

4. Avoid pointing the detector to moving

objects (swaying trees, bushes etc.)

minimum 5 meters (16')

5. Ensure any objects do not obstruct the field

of view. Pay attention to growing trees or
bushes, plants with big moving leaves etc.

Detection Range

Installing the WL X312 detector in challenging situations

In the following situations, rapid and significant infrared radiation changes can happen in both
PIR channels together, resulting in false alarms and therefore care should be taken.

1. Situations in which metal and/or glass objects measuring over 70cm (2’4”) in height from the

ground are in the field of view of the detector (cars, metal gates, shutters, metal walls,
windows, etc.)

2. Situations in which a reflective surface on the ground larger than 1m (3’4”) in diameter may

cause reflection into the detector’s lens. Examples of a reflective surface on the ground are a
puddle, wet road or car park, smooth concrete or asphalt surface, swimming pool, etc.

Water R eflection

NOTES:

1. Please note that any outdoor PIR detector will require reduction in range to a shorter distance than the car,
metal object or surface reflection (so that these objects won’t be protected) in order to eliminate false alarms.

2. For full 15m (50’) coverage in the above situations, it is highly recommended to install the wired WatchOUT
DT, the only outdoor detector with 2 PIR channels and 2 Microwave channels.

3. Wireless WatchOUT detectors include high quality Silicon filters on the PIR sensors for blocking out white light
interferences. These filters are not intended to block infrared thermal radiation.

Wall Mount Installation

NOTE

:

The installation knockouts numbering are marked
on the back plate.

1. Open the WL 312 front cover (unlock C1,
Figure 1).

2. Release internal base (unlock I1, Figure

2).

3. Select mounting installation as follows:

Flat Mounting:

Open knockouts on external base (Figure

3).

• B1 - B4: Wall mounting knockouts

• T1: Back tamper knockout

45° angle Mounting (Left side
mounting):

a. Open knockouts on external base

(Figure 3).

• L1, L2: Left mounting knockouts

• T3: Left tamper knockout

b. Remove tamper spring (Figure 4).

c. Replace tamper bracket (Item 1) with

supplied flat tamper bracket (Item 2).
