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.

For more information refer to the Agility Installer Guide.

Installation Instructions 7

Detection Range Adjustment

Slide the moving PIR to the desired
position, see figure 6.

The range of the lower detection area
determines the detection range.
The upper PIR is fixed and its detection
area is parallel to the ground at all times.
The lower detection area changes from
2m to 12m depending on the location of
the moving PIR. Therefore, the detection
range is established according to the
location of the lower PIR since both the
upper and the lower PIR should be
triggered in order to activate an alarm.

Detection range with 1m (3'3")
installation height:

* NOTE:

Length may vary according to
environmental thermal conditions.

Walk test

Two minutes after applying power, walk test the protected area to verify proper operation.

Adjust the moving PIR for required detection range and reliability.

NOTE:

When there is traffic in the detection area the detection area may increase due to environmental thermal
conditions, therefore it is recommended to increase the detection area from 1.5m to 2m away from the traffic.

IMPORTANT!

Both upper and lower detection areas must be blocked simultaneously for detection to occur, see
figure 7 below.

The unit transmits a WRITE message each time both of the Tamper

Switches (back and cover) are closed for at least 3 seconds.

Transmitter/Receiver Communication link setup

The detector must identify itself to the system’s receiver by writing its coded message into the
receiver’s address memory. This is accomplished by performing the following steps:

1. Set the receiver to Write Mode.

2. Remove the insulation material from the batteries and place them in the batteris holders on
the PCB on the right direction (pay attention to the "+" and "–" diagram on the PCB)

3. Send a WRITE message by pressing both of the tamper switches (back and cover) for at
least 3 seconds.

4. Verify that the detector has been identified by the receiver.
