3.1 Installation Hints

Important! Under optimal environmental

conditions, t he detector is i mmune to animals
weighing up to 36 kg (80 lb) that move on the
floor or climb on furniture, as long as this
activity takes place bel ow 1 m (3 ft). Above 1
m (3 ft), the detector is immune topets

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

When installing keep in mind the advice given in Figure 2 below:

Do not aim at heat sources

Do not expose to air drafts Do not install outdoors

weighing 18 kg (40 lb), but the pet immunity

Mount on solid, stable surfaces

and remove it via the “keyhole” (see Figure 4).

3rd. Pull the PCB straight out and put it aside until required again.
4th. Refer to Figure 4 and punch out t he mounting knockouts at

the rear wall of the bas e (for surface mounting) or mounting
knockouts at the angled sides of the base (for corner
mounting).

5th. Hold the base against the wall at the selected installation

location and mark t he points for drilling.

6th. Drill the holes and insert the plastic anchors supplied (if

necessary).

7th. Return the PCB to its pl ace: al ign the ” keyhole” with t he head

of the vertical adjustment s crew, press the PCB against the
base, slide the PCB up and adjust it as explained in Para. 3.8.

Prevent direct s unlight from

reaching the detector

Do not install behind partitions

This feature is very useful for zoning
purposes - activation of different type of
zones at the control panel.
The channel selector consists of a 4-k ey

code is selected by setting the key with
the desired channel number to ON.

causes receivers equipped with a buzzer output to activate the
buzzer. Setting the 4 channel keys to OFF and initiating a
transmissi on is a way to check whether code "0" works.

Upon activation of the det ector’s t amper switch (by r emoving the
front cover), channel "2" code will be automatically transmitted
once every 2 minutes, r egardless of the c hannel selector setting.

Caution: Do not select channel 2 as the normal alarm channel,

because this will cause alarm and tamper events to have the

same channel code.

I. Once the detector is directed as desired, tighten the bracket

assembly screw well, to prevent any further change of position.

3.4 Battery Installation

The K-980W is powered by a 9-volt alkaline or lithium battery.
Remove the detector's front cover, s nap the battery cl ip onto the
battery and place the battery i n its place ( below the pr inted c ir cuit
board). Before testing, allow 10 minutes for the detector to
stabilize (the LED may light during this time).

Warning! For proper operat ion, use only alkali ne or lithium ty pe
batteries.

3.5 System Code Selection

The code selector consists of an 8-key
DIP switch (see Figure 8). Each key is
set to either ON or OFF position to cr eate
a unique digital system code c ombinati on
(256 possibilities).

Select a digital code that matches the
one selected on the compani on receiver.

All wireless detectors and the receiver
used in the alarm system m ust be set
to the same digital system code.

CAUTION: The code combination 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 ON / 1, 3, 8 OFF
is a factory setti ng that must be avoi ded. Als o av oid c odes s uch
as all keys ON, all keys OFF or alternating ON-OFF settings.

3.8 Vertical Adjustment

A. Pet-Immune Applications

To maintain maximum coverage range and
pet immunity, the vertical adjustment scale
must be adjusted in accordance with the
actual mounting height (refer to Figure 11).
Loosen the vertical adjustment screw and
slide th e printed circuit board up or down until

the pointer shows the actual mounting height on the scale.
When done, re-tighten the scr ew well.

3.6 Channel Code Selection

The Visonic Ltd. wir eless security s ystems have a multi- channel
capability. Each wireless K-980W detector can be set to t ransmit
one of 4 different c hannel codes. Each channel code ac tivates a
particular output circuit of the companion receiver.

B. Pet-Free Locations

To obtain the best cover age possible wher e no pets ar e present,
mount the detector with the integral bracket at any desir ed height
between 1.8 m (6 ft) and 2.4 m (8 ft). Then set the vertical
adjustment scal e to the 2.4 m (8 ft) position and tilt the detector
20

° down.

3.9 Setting the TST/NORM Jumper

Since battery saving is of utmost i mportanc e in normal use of the
detector unit, an automatic timer inhibits the detector for
approximately 2 minutes after each transmission. During this
period, the transmit ter cannot be triggered again by subs equent
motion within the protected area. The detector is automatically
rearmed 2 minutes after the last motion was detected.
For rapid walk tes ti ng of t he c overage pat ter n, you must el imi nat e
the 2 minute inhibit interval between successive alarms. The
NORM/TEST selector, when set to TEST, overrides the 2- minute
rearm timer, and also sets the pulse counter to 1 PULSE.
Remember that in the TEST mode, tamper and l ow batter y
will be transmitted at 1/2 second intervals instead of the usual 2­minute intervals. When the s elector i s reset to NORM, the r earm
timer reverts to normal operation.

TEST Position Setting the jumper as shown
overrides the rear m timer and the pul se c ounter,
allowing you to walk test the detector rapidly.

NORMAL Position: Setting the jumper as
shown re-enables the 2-mi nute rear m t imer and
the pulse counter.

protective beam. All ow the unit to re-stabilize for 5 seconds
after each test.

F. In pet immune applicati ons, continue the test by sending the

house pet into the protected area. Make sure it does not
trigger the detec tor by moving across the protected area and
by climbing on furni ture within that ar ea.

G. Remove the cover and set the pulse counter as required for

the particular application.

H. Set the NORMAL/TEST selector to NORM, mount t he cover

and wait 5 minutes outside the cover age area. Then re-enter
the coverage area and verify that the LED li ght s ( r espons e wi ll
be immediate only if the pul se counter is s et to 1 pulse).

If you continue moving within the detector 's field of view, the
LED will turn OFF and the unit will remain disabled as long as
movement continues, due to the 2-minute battery saving
rearm timer. The unit will be rearmed provided that no motion
is detected for approximately 2 minutes, and will again be
ready to detect and signal.

CAUTION: The range and coverage area of the uni t should
be checked at least once a year. To assure proper
continuous function, the end user should be instructed to
perform a walk test at t he far end of the area to assure an
alarm signal prior to each time the alarm system is armed.

3.10 Final Testing

A. Snap the battery cl ip onto the 9 Volt alkali ne or lit hium battery

and allow ten minutes for the unit to stabilize before testing.

B. Adjust the vertical calibration position per Para. 3.8.
C. Set the Normal/Test selector to TEST.
D. Put the cover back in place.
E. W alk-test the entire pr otected area by walking slowly ac ross
