1111. INTRODUCTION

. INTRODUCTION. INTRODUCTION

. INTRODUCTION

The Scantronic 460 is a digital, microprocessor-controlled MW /
PIR detector that can be adapted to the size of the protected area
by use of a model selector. A different digital signal processing
(DSP) is used upon selection of each model, thus optimizing both
PIR and MW performance within the protected area.

The PIR section of the Scantronic 460 employs a sphere-shaped
lens with cylindrical elements (patented) for uniform detection
sensitivity over the full range of 12 meters (40 ft). Advanced True
Motion Recognition™ algorithm (patented)

allows the Scantronic
460 to distinguish between the true motion of an intruder and any
other disturbances which cause false alarms.

A TST (Test) input permits switching the detector to the walk test
mode remotely without removing the front cover. An on-board
motion event jumper determines whether 1 or 2 consecutive
motion events would trigger an alarm.

3.1 General Guidelines

A. Microwave radiation passes through glass and non-metallic

walls. Be sure, therefore, to select the correct model in
accordance with the room size. This is important to minimize
the effect of movements occuring beyond room limits which
might cause the MW section to trip.

B. Large reflecting objects (especially metals) in the coverage

area can distort the microwave detector's coverage pattern.

C. If two Scantronic 460 units are installed in the same room or

on opposite sides of a shared wall, they should not face each
other and must be mounted at least 20 cm (0.6 ft) apart.

Attention! At power up, the detector undergoes a 60-second
stabilization period, indicated by alternate flashing of the red
and green LEDs.

4.1 Product Limitations

Although this detector is a highly reliable device, it does not
guarantee complete protection against intrusion. Even the most
sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or may fail to
warn because:

A.

The detector will not function if the DC power supplied to it is
incorrect or improperly connected.

B.

A PIR detector does not provide full volumetric coverage. It can
only detect motion that disturbs the sensitive beams spread within
the protected area.

C.

Motion is not detected if it takes place behind closed doors, walls,
glass partitions, windows and shutters.

D.

The detection ability of the PIR detector may be reduced by
malicious masking or by spraying various materials on the lens or
by mechanical tampering with the optical system.

E.

As the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the
range of 32°C-40°C (90°F-105°F), the PIR detector's performance
can decrease.

F.

Even the most reliable electrical devices, including this detector,
may go wrong due to an unexpected failure of a component part.

The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to
detect intrusion, but it is by no means comprehensive. It is therefore
recommended that the detector and the entire alarm system be
checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.

An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for
insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be prudent
enough to continue insuring their lives and property, even though
they are protected by an alarm system.

4.2 Compliance with Standards

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in residential installations. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this device does cause such interference, which can be verified by

turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
– Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the one

which supplies power to the receiver.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
