The new SPY series features the smallest passive infrared (PlR)
detectors of their type presently marketed. Models are designed
for in-wall or in-ceiling installation, or behind the wall (or ceiling)
mounting. The only visible part of the SPY after installation is the
ultra miniaturized lens itself.

SPY 1 - Long Range SPY 2 - Medium Angle SPY 3 - Wide Angle

False alarms caused by environmental disturbances are virtually
eliminated by a combination of light rejection filter and pyro­electric low-noise detector. The medium angle, wide angle and
curtain SPYs have the additional protection of built-in two-step
pulse counting. With careful attention to installation site and
periodic walk-testing, Visonic Ltd. SPY PlR detectors will give
reliable, long-life, trouble-free service.

Models available:
SPY 1: Long Range. Provides narrow angle corridor pattern with

maximum coverage area of 11 m/17° (35 ft/17°).
SPY 2: Medium Angle. Provides 3 double beams in a single

detection layer with maximum coverage area of 8 m/50°
(25 ft/50°)

SPY 3: Wide Angle. Provides 6 double beams in a single
detection layer with maximum coverage area of 8 m/100°
(25 ft/100°).

SPY 4: Curtain. Provides a solid curtain with maximum coverage
pattern of 2 m width x 4 m height (6 x 12 ft).

SPY RTE-A: Special request-to-exit model, relay output.
SPY RTE-B: Request-to-exit model, open collector output.

ATTENTION: Whichever model of SPY PIR detector you are
installing, please observe the following:

1. Never touch the lens. Whenever you are handling the
detector, hold it firmly by the collar, mounting plate, or sides.

2. Splice or solder the wires from the control panel to the SPY
detector. Do not attach by only twisting wires together.

3. Insulate each wire individually. Do not permit uninsulated
wires to touch each other.

4. During the wiring operation, be careful to place the detector
so that the lens is protected.

5. Do not open the detector from either the front (lens end) or
the back (wire end).

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PROCEDURES MAY
INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.

3.1 Choosing the Right Location

SPY PIRs can be installed in a wall or ceiling and are available
with both a collar and a front/rear mounting plate. Three of the
models (SPY 1, 2 and 4) can be installed with the mounting plate
in the front or rear of the detector unit, as required. The choice of
method depends upon the type of wall or ceiling and the degree
to which the detector should be unnoticed.

• SPY Models SPY 1, SPY 2 and SPY 4 are provided with both
a collar and a front/rear mounting plate.

• SPY 3 is provided with a fixed mounting plate for front- of-the­wall installation.

1. Select the mounting location so that the expected motion of

an intruder will cross the coverage pattern.

2. When wall mounted, the SPY should be installed parallel to

the floor for maximum coverage. Recommended mounting
height: between 80 cm and 1.35 m (2.5 and 4.5 ft).

3. The curtain detector SPY 4 can be mounted in the ceiling or in

the wall. When mounting in the wall it should be installed
parallel to the floor. Maximum ceiling height: 4 m (12 ft).

4. Always install the unit into a firm and stable surface, and

assure that there are no moving objects within its field of view.

Remember: Passive infrared detectors are sensitive to
changes in infrared energy caused by an object moving
across the unit's field of view. Detection depends on the
difference between the amount of infrared energy
transmitted by the moving object and the temperature of the
background.

It is therefore recommended that the detector be aimed toward
the coolest place in the area to be protected, in order to obtain
maximum sensitivity in installations where high ambient tempera­tures are expected. Do not aim the detector toward areas
containing hot water pipes or windows, which might cause
problems in the operational efficiency of PIR detectors.

BEFORE YOU START:
Do not touch the lens.
Solder or splice wire connections.
Insulate wires individually so that they cannot touch.

3.2 Installation with Collar

(MODELS SPY 1 and 2)

1. Drill a 22 mm (7/8 in.) hole in the wall.

2. Hold the detector unit by the sides. Carefully put the collar on

the detector and adjust its

position so that the front of
the detector and the collar
are aligned (Fig. 1).

3. Fish the wiring from the
control panel through the
hole and connect to the
detector unit as described
under WIRING.

4. Feed the wiring into the
prepared hole.

5. Orient the detector unit so

that the mark on the front faces up (Fig. 1).

6. With your fingers on the outer edge of the collar, push the
detector unit, rear end first, into the hole until the retaining
collar is seated securely.

Collar, Models SPY 1, SPY 2

3.3 Front-of-Wall Installation

(MODELS SPY 1 and 2)

1. Drill a 24 mm (15/16 in) hole in the wall.

2. Hold the detector unit by the sides and put it, lens end first,

into the mounting plate (Fig. 2A).

3. Adjust the detector unit in the mounting plate so that the front
of the detector extends a minimum distance from the wall.

4. Place the locking ring over the rear end of the detector unit
and move it over the tabs of the locking plate until the detector
unit is absolutely stable in the mounting plate (Fig. 2A).

5. Fish the wiring from the control panel through the hole and
connect to the detector unit as described in WIRING.

6. Feed the wiring into the prepared hole.

7. Prepare the mounting plate screw holes on a horizontal line,

making sure that the mark on the front of the detector unit is
facing up (Fig. 2B).

8. Insert the detector unit, rear end first, into the hole with the
mark on the front facing up (Fig. 2B) and secure the mounting
plate to the wall with the screws provided.

Figure 2 (A & B) - Front of Wall Installation, Models SPY 1 and 2

3.4 Back-of-Wall Installation

(Models SPY 007.1, 007.2)

1. Drill a 19 mm (3/4 in.) hole in the wall.

2. Hold the detector unit by the sides and put it, lens end first,

into the mounting plate (Fig. 3A).

3. Adjust the detector unit in the mounting plate according to the
thickness of the wall. When installed, the lens end of the
detector should extend about 1 mm (0.05 in.) from the wall.
