HUNTER

Anti-Masking, Self-Testing PIR Motion Detector

Installation Instructions

1111. INTRODUCTION

. INTRODUCTION. INTRODUCTION

. INTRODUCTION

The HUNTER is a sophisticated PIR that utilizes an advanced
motion analysis algorithm, the latest anti-masking technology and
motion simulation self-test routines.

The advanced motion analysis algorithm - True Motion
Recognition™ - provides improved distinction between true
motion of a human body and any other disturbance that would
cause other detectors to produce false alarms.

Masking and/or internal circuit malfunction cause trouble
indications to appear: the green LED flashes and the TRB
(trouble) relay drops out. At power up, a unique software routine
adapts the detector to its immediate surroundings. Despite this, if
an object is too close to the lens or the field of view is too narrow,
the detector will respond as it does upon masking.

The HUNTER includes temperature compensation circuits - for
maximum catch performance and optimum protection from false
alarms. A built-in motion event verification counter can be
programmed to trigger an alarm as a result of 1 or 2 consecutive
motion events, depending on the detection sensitivity required.

A “TEST” (T) input permits switching the detector to the walk-test
mode and back without removing the front cover. The test input
polarity can be selected with a DIP switch (see Para. 3.6).

Long-term stability and high reliability are assured by a special
self-adapting algorithm, that continuously compensates for
environmental changes. The entire electronic circuitry is enclosed
in a protective sealed module, with the sensor element practically
isolated from gusts of wind and insects.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Construction Details

The electronic circuitry is enclosed in a sealed module, attached
to the base with a single screw (see Figure 2).

The electronic module may be shifted up or down along the base
for vertical adjustment of the detection beam angle.

The front cover accommodates the Fresnel lens, that can be
unfastened for horizontal adjustment or for replacement. The LEDs,
which are positioned behind the lens, are visible when illuminated.

3.2 Selecting the Mounting Location

Always mount the detector unit on a firm and stable surface.
A. Select the mounting location so that the expected motion of an

intruder would cross the beams of the coverage pattern.

B. Avoid aiming the detector at heaters, sources of bright light

and windows that are subject to direct sunlight. Also avoid
running the wiring close to high-power electrical cables.

C. Make sure not to install the unit where obstacles are present

0.5 meter (1.5 ft) away from the lens or closer.

3.3 Mounting

A . Remove the screw located at the bottom and then take the

front cover off (see Figure 2).

B . Remove the vertical adjustment screw and detach the module

from the base.

C . Mount the base (with the wiring entry knockouts up) in the

location and height selected for optimum coverage. For
surface mounting, use the two knockouts at the back of the
base. For corner mounting, use the knockouts on the angled
sides (see Figure 3).

Figure 3. HUNTER as Viewed with Cover Removed

D. Put the electronic module back in place and remount the

vertical adjustment screw (but do not tighten it fully yet).

E. Set the DIP switch function selector as required for the

particular application (see Paragraph 3.6 for details).

F. Carry out the necessary wiring operations as outlined in

Paragraph 3.5).

3.4 Optional Swivel Brackets

Three optional swivel brackets are available. They are intended to
enhance the flexibility of installation. Each bracket comes
complete with detailed installation instructions in its own packing
box.

BR-1 - a surface-mounted swivel bracket (see Fig. 4).
BR-2 - corner mounting swivel bracket (see Fig. 5).
BR-3 - ceiling mounting bracket (see Fig. 5).

Attention! With swivel brackets in use, the effective detection
range may differ from that indicated in Table 2.

3.5 Wiring

A. Terminal Assignments

N.C. relay output:

The normally closed alarm relay contacts open upon detection of
motion (alarm) or during a power failure.

TAMP (tamper output): The TAMP (tamper) contacts, which are
normally closed, open when the unit’s front cover is removed.

TRB (trouble) Relay: The normally closed trouble relay contacts
open when masking is sensed or when trouble is detected by the
unit’s self test circuitry.

T (TEST) input: Used to remotely switch the detector into the
walk-test mode and back to normal, by applying +12 VDC or 0
VDC to this terminal (see SW-4 in Para. 3.6).

E.O.L. terminals: The two “floating” E.O.L. terminals serve only
as connection points for E.O.L. (end-of-line) resistors.

B. Wiring Procedure

Refer to Figure 6 and use #22 AWG or larger conductors to wire
the detector as follows:

(1) Connect one N.C. output terminals of the detector to a burglar

zone terminals of the alarm control panel.

(2) Connect the detector’s TAMP terminals across the terminals

of a 24-hour zone of the alarm control panel.

Note: If the control panel is set for E.O.L. and you are wiring the
most distant detector in the loop, use the closest E.O.L. terminal
to connect the required E.O.L. resistor in series with the loop.

( 3 ) Connect the detector’s TRB relay terminals across the

terminals of a 24-hour trouble zone of the control panel.

( 4 ) Connect a single wire between the detector’s T terminal and

the walk-test control voltage source (see Para. 3.6 for TEST
input polarity).

( 5 ) Connect the 12 V

(+) and (–)
terminals to a 9 ­16 VDC power
source and check
for correct polarity.
The power supply
must have

at

least

4

hours of battery

backup.

The
standby current
consumption

of
each detector unit
is about 17 mA.

B. Setting the Switches

Set the function switches as desired prior to applying power. The
ON position is indicated on the switch body.

SWITCH SW-1:

If you set this switch to OFF (1 motion event),
the detector’s sensitivity will be increased, and if you set this
switch set to ON (2 motion events), you will get the highest
immunity against false alarms.

SWITCH SW-2: You may enable or disable the LED walk-test
indicators. However, even if disabled, they will be automatically
enabled when the detector is switched to the test mode.

SWITCH SW-3

Resetting after trouble - it makes no difference whether the lever
is switched from OFF to ON or vice versa.

SWITCH SW-4: Set this switch in accordance with the control
panel’s TEST output. If there is no such output, simply wire the
control panel’s 0 VDC (ground) to the detector’s “T” terminal
through a TEST switch installed at a convenient location.

Set SW-4 to OFF if you do not intend to use the T input.

3.7 Vertical Pattern Adjustment

To adjust the vertical pattern, loosen the vertical adjustment
screw slightly and slide the electronic module up or down to the
desired angle. Adjust the scale according to Table 2 for the
desired mounting height and coverage range. Once the module is
aligned correctly, tighten the screw firmly.

Table 2. Vertical Adjustment Chart

3.8 Horizontal Pattern Adjustment

The coverage pattern may be
adjusted ±7.5° by shifting the lens
off its centered position:

A . Remove the lens holder as

shown in Figure 7.

B . Shift the lens in the desired

direction (right or left).

C . Hold the lens in position and

re-insert the lens holder ­bottom end first. Next, push
the top end against the front
cover until the lens holder
snaps into place.

Figure 7. Releasing the Lens

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

4.1 Output Circuit Behavior

A. Alarm Relay

When an alarm occurs, the alarm relay contacts open for 2-3
seconds.

B. TRB Relay

The TRB relay drops out (its contacts open) whenever masking is
detected, or upon detection of an internal malfunction by
automatic self test routine. The relay pulls in as soon as the
cause for trouble is removed.

4.2 LED Display

Two LEDs, red and green, convey status information by various
signaling combi- nations, as detailed in Table 3 below. However,
the following rules must be taken into account:

A. The LED indicators may be enabled by setting DIP switch

SW-2 to ON or applying “test enable” voltage to the “T”
terminal. While being enabled by one, the LEDs can not be

disabled by the other.

B. Even if the LEDs are disabled, they will still function

throughout the 2-minute power-up adaptation period and as
trouble indicators.

N/A Flashing Masking or internal failure state.

4.3 Resetting after Trouble

Flashing of the green LED indicates that masking or internal
circuit trouble are being sensed. While the green LED flashes,
the TRB relay contacts are open.

To determine the cause for trouble, check for masking:

• Foreign material may be glued to the lens or sprayed on it.

• An object may have been placed less than 0.5 m (1.5 ft) away

from the detector.

• An object situated in the detector’s field of view less than 0.5 m
(1.5 ft) from the detector has been re-located (the detector
“considers” this change in its surroundings as a masking event).

Note: Erratic behavior of the detector may result from partial
masking - check the lens very carefully.

Remove masking if found. Then remove the cover, change the
position of DIP switch SW-3 (from OFF to ON or vice versa),
mount the cover quickly in place and get away from the detector.

IMPORTANT! Changing the position of SW-3 resets the
detector and causes it to re-adapt to its current surroundings for
2-minutes. Stay at least 0.5 m (1.5 ft) away from the detector,
so as not to disrupt this process. The green and red LED will
flash alternately until the 2 minute period is up. If they continue
to flash, check again for masking.

Reset is also possible without removing the cover - apply the “test
enable” voltage to the “T” terminal (see Para. 3.6) and conduct a
short walk test, causing the detector to alarm at least 3 times.

After reset, the detector should function normally - the green LED
should not flash and the TRB relay contacts should close. If this
is not so, and masking has been ruled out, the trouble indication
is probably due to internal circuit trouble. The only remedy for this
is replacing the detector unit with a new one.

4.4 Testing procedure

A. Set SW-2 to ON, or leave it OFF but apply the “test enable”

voltage to the “T” terminal. Remount the detector’s cover.

B. Power up the system. The red and green LEDs will flash

alternately, indicating that the detector is adapting itself to its
present surroundings. Stay at least 0.5 m (1.5 ft) away from
the detector, until the 2-minute startup period ends (until
the LEDs stop flashing alternately).

4 DE1220

C. Enter the detector’s field of view and walk test the entire

coverage area, while observing the red LED. The LED will
light for 2-3 seconds each time your motion is detected.

D. Tape a piece of cardboard to the detector’s front to

deliberately mask the lens. After 30 seconds, the green LED
should start flashing, and the trouble zone of the control panel
should go into alarm (the TRB relay drops out).

E. Remove the masking from the detector’s front. The green LED

should extinguish (after a few seconds).

F. Apply the desired voltage to the “T” terminal, or set SW-2 as

desired to enable/disable the LEDs. The detector is ready for
use.
