. INTRODUCTION

. INTRODUCTION. INTRODUCTION

The NEXT K9-85 MCW is a pet-immune microprocessor-controlled
wireless digital PIR detector, designed for easy installation, free of
vertical adjustment. It features a cylindrical lens with uniform
detection sensitivity throughout its operating range, up to 12 meters
(40 ft), with immunity to pets weighing up to 38 kg (85 lb).

advanced

The
allows
motion of an intruder and any other disturbances which may cause
false alarms. In addition, Target Specific Imaging™ (TSI)
technology is employed for distinction between human beings and
pets.
An on-board motion event jumper determines whether 1 or 2
consecutive motion events triggers an alarm.

The NEXT K9-85 MCW includes the following features:

• Incorporates a fully supervised PowerCode transmitter

• Patented sophisticated motion analysis algorithm - True Motion

Recognition (TMR™)

• Sophisticated frequency domain digital signal processing

• No vertical adjustment is needed

• Programmable motion event counter

• After detection, the detector disarms itself to save battery

power. It rearms (reverts to the ready state) if there is no
subsequent detection throughout the following 2-minute period

Attention! The unit has a back tamper switch under the PCB. As long as
the PCB is seated firmly within the base, the switch will be pressed against
a special break-away base segment.
Be sure to fasten the break-away segment to the wall. If the detector
is forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will break away from the
base, causing the tamper switch to open and send a tamper alarm.

Important! The detector is immune to 38 kg
(85 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 19

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

Correct use of the optional brackets:
With pets: in pet immune applications,

optional brackets should be used for
horizontal alignment only - the detector
should remain vertical (perpendicular to the
ground).

Without pets: To obtain the best possible
coverage where no pets are present, use a
bracket and tilt the detector 20º down.

4.1 Product Limitations

Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to
high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and
limited range (required by FCC and other regulatory authorities),
there are some limitations to be considered:

A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals on or near their

operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.

B. A receiver can only respond to one signal at a time.
C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine

whether there are sources of interference and to protect
against faults.

D. Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be

defeated or may fail to warn due to: DC power failure /
improper connection, malicious masking of the lens,
tampering with the optical system, decreased sensitivity in
ambient temperatures near that of the human body and
unexpected failure of a component part.
The above list includes the most common reasons for failure
to detect intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It is
therefore recommended that the detector and the entire alarm
system be checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.

E. An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for

insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be
prudent enough to continue insuring their lives and property,
even though they are protected by an alarm system.

4.2 Compliance with Standards

The 315 MHz version of this device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

The digital circuit of this device has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in
residential installations. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio and television reception. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this device does cause such interference, which
can be verified by turning the device off and on, the user is
encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

– Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
– Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the

one which supplies power to the receiver.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

4.3 Frequency Allocations for Wireless
Devices in European (EU) Countries

• 315 MHz is not allowed in any EU member state.

• 433.92 MHz has no restriction in any EU member state.

• 868.95 MHz (wide band) is allowed in all EU member states.

• 869.2625 MHz (narrow band) is not restricted in any EU

member state.
