*(6HFXULW\
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.
This wireless motion sensor includes the following features:
Field-selectable coverage area; 33 or 50 feet
Field-selectable sensitivity modes; 2-pulse or 4-pulse
135-second transmitter lockout time after an alarm that helps extend battery life
Cover-activated tamper
Supervisory signal transmitted every 64 minutes to the control panel
Sensor low battery reports (trouble) to the control panel
Included with the sensor is a thin cardboard undercrawl mask and snap-in plastic masks (installed at the factory). Self-adhesive masking strips are also included.

Installation If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of the panel. While a transmitter may have an

open-air range of 500 feet or more, the installation site can have a significant effect on trans­mitter range. Changing the sensor location may help overcome adverse wireless conditions.
Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a corner. Do not set it on a shelf.
For installations without pets, the required mounting height is 7 1/2 feet.
Mount the motion sensor on an insulated, outside wall facing in.
Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free from vibrations.
Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point, like a wall.
Do not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air conditioners, heaters/heating vents, or place it in direct sunlight.
Position the sensor to protect an area where intruders are most likely to walk across the detection pattern (see Figure 1).

Note
The cardboard undercrawl 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.
Preliminary 9/1/04
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.
Windows should be closed in any area which has an armed motion sensor.
The cardboard undercrawl mask installed at the factory (see Figure 2) blocks coverage within 5 feet of the sensor.
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 undercrawl mask in place to block any detection pattern directed at the ceiling

Note
Remove the factory-installed plastic masks before mount­ing. Re-install as desired after walk testing.

Setting the Sensor Coverage Area and Sensitivity

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 undercrawl mask installed.
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.

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.
You must be free of static electricity before handling circuit boards. Wear a grounding strap or touch a bare metal surface to discharge static electricity.

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, 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. 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.

Environment Testing

Activate the walk test mode, 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.
To avoid damaging the mirror do not remove the masks using a sharp tool. If

Programming 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 program-

ming 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 acti-
vate 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, then STOP your motion.

5. Listen for the appropriate system response. If the system does not respond, proceed to the
“Troubleshooting” section.

Maintenance 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).
You must be free of static electricity before handling circuit boards. Wear a grounding strap or touch a bare metal surface to discharge static electricity.
Static

1. Remove the sensor cover (see Figures 4 and 5) and set it aside.

2. Remove the transmitter (upper) circuit board battery (see Figure 10)

3. Remove the transmitter circuit board and place it inside the cover (see Figure 11)

5. Remove the PIR circuit board battery (located on opposite side of components) and install a new one, observing polarity (marked on the circuit board).

6. Re-install the PIR circuit board into the sensor plastic.

7. Re-install the transmitter circuit board onto the PIR circuit board.

8. Install a new battery in the transmitter circuit board, observing polarity (marked in battery bucket).

After replacing batteries, wait at least 3 minutes before activating the walk test mode.

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 acti-

vated.
Check programming and re-program sensor into panel if necessary.
Move the sensor to another location and test for correct response.
Test a known good sensor at the same location.
If the system does not respond, avoid mounting a sensor at that location.
If the replacement sensor functions, return the problem sensor for repair or replacement.
