transmitter range. Changing the sensor location may help
overcome adverse wireless conditions.
ˎ Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a
Product Summary
The AP750W Wireless PIR (passive-infrared) Motion Sensor
detects movement by sensing the infrared energy emitted
from a body as it moves across its field of view. When this
motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm signal.
Install motion sensors to protect areas where door/window
sensors are impractical or not needed. For example, use a
motion sensor to protect large areas or open floor plans.
Motion sensors can also provide backup protection in areas
where door/window sensors exist.

corner. Do not set it on a shelf.
ˎ For installations without pets, the required mounting
height is 7½ feet.
ˎ Mount the motion sensor on an insulated, outside wall
facing in.
ˎ Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free
from vibrations.
ˎ Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point,
like a wall.
ˎ Do not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air
conditioners, heaters/heating vents, or place it in direct
sunlight.
ˎ Position the sensor to protect an area where intruders
are most likely to walk across the detection pattern (see
Figure 1: Overhead View Walking Across Detection
Pattern).

Figure 1: Overhead View Walking Across Detection
Pattern
ˎ Do not mount the sensor near duct work or other large
metallic surfaces which may affect the RF signals (see
“Final Testing” on page 4). Actual acceptable transmitter
range should be verified for each installation.
ˎ Windows should be closed in any area which has an
armed motion sensor.
ˎ The cardboard under-crawl mask installed at the factory
(see Figure 2) blocks coverage within 5 feet of the
sensor.
Figure 2: Cardboard Under-crawl Mask Location
ˎ For installations where pets are present, mount the
sensor upside down about 3.5 feet above the floor (see
Figure 3). Leave the factory-installed under-crawl mask
in place to block any detection pattern directed at the
ceiling.

Tools and Supplies Needed
ˎ Phillips screwdriver
ˎ Anchors and screws for mounting (included)
ˎ Masks (included)
Note: The cardboard under-crawl mask should remain
installed when sensor jumper J1 is set to the BI
position. See the section “Setting the Sensor
Coverage Area and Sensitivity” for complete
information on sensor jumper settings.

Mounting the Sensor
This section describes how to mount the sensor on a flat wall
or in a corner.
Note: Remove the factory-installed plastic masks before
mounting. Re-install as desired after walk testing.
Caution: You must be free of all static electricity before
handling sensor circuit boards. Touch a grounded,
bare metal surface before touching circuit boards
or wear a grounding strap.
Figure 6: Mounting Hole Locations
1. Remove the small cover (see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Removing the Small Cover
2. Open the sensor housing by pressing down on the top
rear and pulling the front cover at the top (see Figure 5).
Set the front cover aside.
Figure 5: Opening the Sensor Housing
Setting the Sensor Coverage Area and
Sensitivity
Jumper J1 determines the sensitivity mode of the sensor,
either standard or bi-curtain. Jumper J2 determines the
coverage area of the sensor, either 33 or 50 feet. See Figure
7 for jumper positions.
Use the standard (STD) setting for wide-angle coverage and
single curtain pattern. Use the bi-curtain (BI) setting for
added stability to help reduce false alarms. This mode
requires intruders to be detected by two curtains of
coverage.
Note: Do not use the bi-curtain mode for detection in areas
within 5 feet of the sensor. When selecting bi-curtain
mode, always leave the cardboard under-crawl mask
installed.
Caution: You must be free of all static electricity before
handling sensor circuit boards. Touch a grounded,
bare metal surface before touching circuit boards
or wear a grounding strap.

3. Mount the sensor on a flat wall or in a corner, using the
appropriate mounting holes (see Figure 6). Use wall
anchors and screws to secure the sensor.
Note: Avoid touching the mirror. Fingerprints may affect
detection coverage.

Walk Testing
Walk testing should be done to determine the actual
coverage area of the sensor. The edge of the coverage
pattern is determined by the first LED flash. This may
change slightly depending on the sensitivity setting. Walk
test the unit from both directions to determine the pattern
boundaries.
1. Remove the sensor cover to activate the tamper switch
and then reattach it to activate the 2-minute walk test
mode.
2. Walk across the coverage pattern to determine the
coverage area, indicated by LED activation.
After 2 minutes, the walk test mode and the LED will no
longer activate when motion is detected.
Note: Excessive use of the walk test mode may reduce
battery life. Use only for initial setup and maintenance
testing.
Note: In normal operation mode, the sensor only transmits
an alarm signal 135 seconds after the previous alarm.
This reduces unnecessary RF transmissions in high
traffic areas, thereby extending battery life.
Figure 8: Installing Self-Adhesive Masks
Plastic Masks
Install these masks for half coverage or narrow coverage
applications (see Figure 9).
Figure 9: Installing Plastic Masks
Environment Testing
Activate the walk test mode and then turn on all heating or
air conditioning sources which would normally be active
during the protection period. Stand away from the sensor
and outside the coverage pattern and watch for alarms.
Installing Masks
After determining the full coverage area and performing the
environment test, you may need or want to mask (block)
certain parts of the coverage.
Self-Adhesive Masks
Block the appropriate mirror sections with these masks.
Figure 8 shows an example of where to apply the masks and
the resulting coverage area.
Caution: To avoid damaging the mirror, do not remove
masks using a sharp tool. If necessary, remove
masks by carefully peeling them off with your
fingers.
Note: After installing masks, always conduct a walk test and
environment test to verify the coverage area is correct
for the application.

Programming
Maintenance
The following describes the basic steps for adding (learning)
the sensor into panel memory. Refer to the specific panel
installation instructions for complete programming
information.
1. Put the panel into program mode.
2. Advance to the learn sensors menu.
3. Enter the appropriate sensor group and desired sensor
number.
4. When the panel prompts you to trip the sensor, activate
the sensor tamper switch by removing the sensor cover.
5. Reattach the sensor cover.
6. Exit from program mode.
Final Testing
Final testing should be done to verify radio signal integrity
and confirm control panel programming and response. The
actual transmitter range can be determined by performing a
sensor test as described below. Refer to the specific panel
installation instructions for complete sensor testing
information.
1. After the sensor has been mounted, remove the sensor
cover to trip the tamper switch and activate the walk test
mode.
2. Replace the sensor cover.
3. Place the control panel in test mode.
4. Move across the detection pattern until the sensor LED
turns on and then STOP your motion.
5. Listen for the appropriate system response. If the
system does not respond, proceed to the
“Troubleshooting” section.
At least once a year, the sensor should be tested to verify
correct operation. The end user should be instructed to put
the sensor in walk test mode and walk through the far end of
the coverage pattern to verify proper detection.
Replacing Batteries
When battery replacement is necessary, observe proper
polarity (positive +, negative -) when installing the new
batteries, or the sensor may be damaged.
Use only exact replacement 3-volt lithium batteries
(CR123A).
Caution: You must be free of all static electricity before
handling sensor circuit boards. Touch a
grounded, bare metal surface before touching
circuit boards or wear a grounding strap.
1. Remove the sensors cover (see Figures 4 and 5) and
set it aside.
2. Remove the transmitter (upper) circuit board battery
(see Figure 10).
Figure 10: Removing the Transmitter Battery
3. Remove the transmitter circuit board and place it inside
the cover (see Figure 11).

4. Carefully remove the PIR (lower) circuit board by
pressing outward on either side tab, then pull up on the
circuit board (see Figure 12).
Note: Avoid touching the mirror. Fingerprints may affect
detection coverage.
Lithium Battery Disposal
Lithium batteries that are no longer usable are considered
hazardous waste. Be sure to properly dispose of the old
batteries. Contact your local city government for hazardous
waste disposal laws.
Troubleshooting
Use the following guidelines if the system does not respond
correctly when the sensor is activated.
ˎ Check programming and re-program sensor into panel if
necessary.
ˎ Move the sensor to another location and test for correct
response.
ˎ Test a known good sensor at the same location.
ˎ If the system does not respond, avoid mounting a
sensor at that location.
ˎ If the replacement sensor functions, return the problem
sensor for repair or replacement.
