KK--980MCW 980MCW

Pet-Immune PowerCode Wireless PIR Detector

1. INTRODUCTION1. INTRODUCTION

The K-980MCW is a pet-immune, fully supervised ultra low­current wireless PIR that incorporates a PowerCode transmitter.
Both transmitter and detector circuits are powered by an on­board, long life 3.6 V Lithium battery.

As a pet immune motion detector, the K-980MCW utilizes TSI™
(Target Specific Imaging) technology that ensures immunity to
pets weighing up to 36 kg (80 lb).

As a supervised wireless detector, the K-980MCW has a 24-bit ID
code, randomly selected in the factory from over 16 million possible
combinations. Compatible PowerCode receivers are designed to
"learn" specific IDs and respond only to them.

Following detection of a human intruder, the K-980MCW triggers
the on-board transmitter which transmits its specific PowerCode
ID followed by an alarm signal and status designators for
tampering and battery condition. Alarm and other data are thus
forwarded to the alarm control panel or to a head-end computer,
depending on the type of system in which the detector is used.

After triggering the transmitter, the K-980MCW inhibits itself to
save battery power. The detector reverts to the ready state 2
minutes after the last movement has been detected. An LED/
WALK-TEST jumper is used to override the 2-minute rearm timer
during walk testing.

Since messages transmitted by the
K-980MCW might collide with
those transmitted by other Power­Code transmitters, an anti-collision
transmission sequence is used.

A programmable pulse counter is
included in the unit for maximum
immunity against false alarms.

A periodic test transmission for
supervision purposes takes place
automatically once an hour. The

receiver is thus informed that the

particular detector is taking an active part in the wireless network.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION

3.1 Installation Tips

To minimize false alarms, follow these guidelines:

Do not aim at heat sources Mount on solid, stable surfaces

DE3637 1

Do not expose to air drafts

Do not install outdoors

Prevent direct sunlight from

reaching the detector

Do not install behind partitions

The unit must be installed so that the expected motion of a
intruder would be perpendicular to the zones of detection.

Important! The detector is immune to 36 kg
(80 lb) animals moving on the floor or
climbing on furniture as long as the activity
takes place below 1 m (3 ft). Above the 1 m
(3 ft) height limit, the detector is immune to

decrease as the pet gets closer to the detector. It is therefore
recommended to select a mounting location that minimizes
potential close proximity of animals.

These characteristics have not been verified by UL.

18 kg (40 lb) pets, but the pet immunity will

Keep wiring away from

electrical power cables

3.2 Battery Insertion

It is recommended to power up the detector and let the target
receiver “learn” the transmitter’s ID before actual installation.

1st.Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3.

B. Insert the battery into the battery clip - observe polarity (see

Figure 4).
