DUO 240
Ceiling-Mount Dual Technology Intrusion Detector
1. INTRODUCTION
DUO 240 is a microcomputer-controlled, ceiling-mounted dualtechnology intrusion detector. Its operation is based on two
physical phenomena - the infrared (IR) radiation emitted by the
human body and the Doppler frequency shift caused by a person
moving in a microwave (MW) field. The IR and MW technologies,
when combined in a single detector, complement each other to
assure the most reliable detection and immunity to false alarms.
The superiority of the DUO 240 over other dual detectors has
been achieved by the advent of a True Motion Recognition™
algorithm (patented). This advanced motion analysis method
provides the DUO 240 with the ability to distinguish between the
true motion of a human body and any other disturbances which
invariably cause false alarms.
Another unique feature of the DUO 240 is the MW Motion
Simulator circuit (patents applied for), which simulates the effect
created by a human body moving in the MW field. The simulation
routine is carried out periodically for self-testing, supervision and
assurance that the MW detector operates properly.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 General Guidelines
Observe these rules before selecting a mounting location:
Microwave radiation passes through glass and nonmetallic
walls and floors. Be sure to adjust the MW range to the
necessary minimum, to reduce the possibility of interference
from lower floors.
Large reflecting objects (especially metals) within the
coverage area can distort the detector's coverage pattern.
Although the DUO 240 is extremely immune to air turbulence
and RF interference, avoid installation in a room with very
strong air drafts or close to high-power electrical cables. It is
DE1826 DUO 240 Installation Instructions 1
also recommended to avoid aiming the detection pattern at
sources of bright light and/or heat.
If two DUO 240 units are installed in the same room, they
should be mounted at least 2 m (6 ft) apart.
Always mount the unit on a firm and stable ceiling and
remember that the height above the floor determines the size
of the circular coverage pattern.
Do not install the DUO 240 in places where one of the two
detectors alarms constantly or intermittently, due to
environmental interference.
3.2 Mounting
Select the mounting location
in accordance with the
guidelines in Section 3.1.
Make sure that the expected
intruder's path will cross the
detector's coverage pattern.
DUO 240 units can be
mounted at the maximum
height of 4.5 m (15 ft).
Proceed as follows:
A. Hold the base with one
hand as shown in Fig. 2.
Twist the cover counterclockwise with the other
hand until it stops.
Separate the cover from
the base, and put it in a safe place, to avoid accidental
damage.
B. Press the base against the ceiling in the selected location.
Mark the two points for drilling through the mounting holes
(see Fig. 3).
Note: The mounting holes are accessible without removing
the printed circuit board from the base. Do not drill with the
detector held in place, to avoid contaminating the unit with
dust and drilled fragments.

from the Base
3.3 Wiring
Connect wires to the terminal block in the following order (Fig. 4):
Terminal: TAMP (tamper switch)
Connect to: A normally closed 24-hour tamper zone of the
control panel.
Details: Once the cover is removed, the tamper switch opens.
Terminal: NC (alarm relay)
Connect to: Normally closed burglar protection zones of the
control panel.
Details: Upon alarm or power failure, the output relay's normally
closed contacts open.
Terminal: TRB (trouble output)
Connect to: 24-hour trouble zone, parallel to an E.O.L. resistor
(see Figure 4).
Details: The TRB open collector output will be grounded upon
detector malfunction, causing disturbance in the trouble zone of
the associated alarm system.
Alternative: A buzzer or an interface relay (100 mA max.) may
be connected across the TRB output and the 12 V (+) terminals.
In UL installations, the buzzer, control panel or relay to which
the trouble output is connected must be UL-listed.
Terminals: 12 V(+) and (–)
Connect to: A power source within the range of 9 VDC to 16
VDC. Take care not to reverse the polarity.
Details: It is advisable to connect the power source only after all
other connections have been completed and rechecked.
Disconnect the AC mains from the alarm control panel and verify
that the voltage supplied to the detector is above 9 Volts with the
backup battery as the only power source.
3.4 The Power-up Process
After connecting the (+) and (–) terminals to the power source,
the DUO 240 starts a 60-second warm-up period, indicated by
alternate flashing of the green and red LEDs.
C. Put the base aside, drill the two holes in the ceiling and insert
masonry anchors if necessary.
D. Punch out at least one wiring knockout (preferably the one
close to the terminal block).
E. Align the unit (including printed circuit board) with the mounting
holes and fasten it firmly to the ceiling with two screws.

Notes:
Intended to be connected to a compatible listed burglar alarm
control unit or power supply with an output voltage range within
9-16vdc and is provided with a minimum of 4 hrs. standby power.
Use RTV to seal the base opening(s) to prevent insects from
entering the detector.
