1. FEATURES1. FEATURES
The LEGACY wireless PIR is an advanced microprocessorcontrolled, low-current PIR detector incorporating an on-board
miniature UHF transmitter.
Following detection, the LEGACY activates the on-board UHF
transmitter for 2 seconds, then disarms itself to save battery
power. The detector rearms itself (reverts to the ready state)
automatically 2 minutes after the last movement has been
detected. A TEST/NORMAL selector is used to override the 2minute rearm timer dur ing walk testing.
A feature summary of the LEGACY detector is given below.
• Integral swivel bracket for wall or ceiling installation
• Sealed chamber protects the optical system
• On-board CE and FCC approved transmitt er module
• 9 Volt battery powered, with unique energy saving
circuitry
• Extremely-low current consum ption – 0.013 mA
• Sends automatic low-batt ery and tamper alerts
• Programmable pulse counter (1, 2, 3 or 5 pulses)
• Two-position vertical adjustment
• White light protect ion
• Programmable 8-bit system code and 4-bit channel code
Installation Instructions
• Surface and corner mounting
• Rejects RF interference up to 1000 MHz
• Elegantly styled, sturdy case
• Keyhole-shaped slot for easy removal of PCB

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
Keep wiring away from
electrical power cables

2nd. Loosen the vertical adjustment screw, slide the PCB down
and remove it via the “keyhole” (see Figure 4).
3rd. Pull the PCB straight out and put it aside unti l 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
