3. COMPONENTS
4. SETTIING-UP PROCEDURES
4.1 Before installing the sensor, it is required to register it with the Ajax se-
curity system. In order to register the sensor, it is necessary to switch the
Ajax security system’s receiver to «Add Device» mode (the receiver’s man-
ual explains how to accomplish it) and to put the switch «2» (PICTURE 4) on
the sensor to the «ON» position. Sensor’s light must blink at the moment of
switching on. The registration request is transmitted at the moment the sen-
sor is switched on only! In case the registration was not successful, switch
off the sensor, wait for 5 seconds and switch it on again. If the sensor’s light
blinks constantly (each second during one minute), it means that the sensor
is not registered. The light blinks in the same way if the sensor is deleted
from the registration list. Non-registered sensor blinks also throughout 3
seconds during each activation.
4.2 Having registered the sensor successfully, select an appropriate location
to install it.

ATTENTION!
Make sure that in the installation location sensor has a stable radio con-
tact with the receiver! A maximum distance of 2000 m (6552 ft) between
the sensor and the receiver is mentioned as a comparison with other
devices. This distance was found as a result of open area tests. Connec-
tion quality and distance between the sensor and the receiver can vary
depending on installation location, walls, compartments, bridgings,
as well as the thickness and constructional material. Signal coming
through obstacles, loses power. For example, distance range between
the sensor and receiver, divided with two reinforced concrete bearing
walls, constitutes approximately 30 m (98.4 ft). Please note that moving
the sensor even 10 cm (4 in), it is possible to improve the signal recep-
tion considerably.
Before installation, make sure to check the signal strength in the place where
you intend to install the sensor! It is possible to launch a signal level test on
the receiver’s side. Test launching is described in the receiver’s manual.
ATTENTION!
Signal level test and detection zone test for sensors take some time to
start. A certain period of time is necessary for the receiver to send a test
request to the sensor, and for the sensor to send a test response.
5. INSTALLATION
5.1 The sensor must be installed in such a way that the intruder’s assumed
entrance was perpendicular to the sensor’s lens axis. Make sure to check if
the sensor is functioning at the point where it is going to be installed! (see
paragraph 5.7)
5.2 In order to install the sensor, move the plastic fastening clip Smart-
Bracket (PICTURE 1) alongside the frame and remove it.
5.3 Install the fastening clip SmartBracket on the wall with a help of the ex-
pansion bolts and self-tapping screws included in the set (PICTURE 2). The
height suggested for the sensor installation is 2.4 m (7.9 ft).
Sensor installation height other than the height suggested 2.4 m (7.9 ft) re-
duces sensor detection distance and can diminish the area protected.

5.4 Put the sensor on the SmartBracket. Once the sensor is fixed on the
SmartBracket, its light must blink. It means that the tamper on the sensor is
shut. In case the sensor does not blink, the tamper status must be checked
at the receiver configuration software!

RECEIVER SENSOR'S LIGHT EMITTING DIODE DESCRIPTION
3 indication bars lights almost permanently, with short
breaks each 1.5 seconds excellent signal
2 indication bars blinks 5 times per second medium signal
1 indication bar blinks twice per second low signal
0 bars short flashes each 1.5 seconds no signal

ATTENTION!
The sensor’s autonomous work duration depends on the sensor’s trig-
gering frequency and the battery quality. On average, one battery is suf-
ficient for 7 years of functioning.
7. WARRANTY
7.1 The sensor’s warranty period is 24 months. The warranty does not cover
the battery!

6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 Maintenance is done once every 6 months. The sensor’s board must be
cleared of dust, spider web, and other impurities.
6.2 Never rub the sensor with substances containing alcohol, acetone, pet-
rol and other solvents. Do not rub the sensor with brushes as the fluff can
scrape the lens which will reduce the sensor’s sensitivity.
6.3 Replace the batteries up to date. If the battery level is low, the sensor
sends an appropriate signal to the alarm system receiver unit. When the
battery has run down, with each movement detection or tamper triggering,
the sensor together with a usual indication turns on its light and turns it
off placidly. In order to replace the battery, undo three self-tapping screws
“3” (PICTURE 4) and remove the sensor’s back cover. Replace the «battery»
(PICTURE 5) with a new one, type CR123A observing the polarity.

ATTENTION!
DO NOT install the sensor:
• Near the window with sunlight touching the sensor’s lens window;
• Opposite to the objects with fast changing temperature (electric and
gas heaters, etc.);
• Opposite to the moving objects with the temperature close to the body
temperature (curtains floating above the heater);
• Opposite to the reflecting surfaces (mirrors);
• Near the points of fast air circulation (ventilation units, open windows
and doors);
• Near the metal objects causing radio attenuation or shading from it;
• Outside the building;
• In the rooms with temperature and humidity exceeding the appropri-
ate levels.
Be careful while installing the assembling set. Overexertion while in-
stalling can cause deformation and, as a result, impossibility to install
the sensor or to its unreliable fastening. Fix the assembling clip with
the set’s assembling units only! Other fixing system use, for example,
self-tapping screws of big diameter, can damage fastening clip. Togeth-
er with self-tapping screws, there is a double stick tape in the set. It can
be used for temporary sensor fixing only. It is recommended not to use
the tape for the permanent fixing, as the tape dries up over time and the
sensor may fall down which can interfere with its functions.
5.5 The movement sensor is installed!
5.6 Make sure that furniture, curtains, house plants, vases, decoration or
glass constructions do not cover the sensor’s field of view.
5.7 Test the detection zone for movement sensor (PICTURE 3) in order to
check its efficiency. In detection zone test mode, the sensor’s light is on per-
manently, switching off when the movement is detected – it is very easy to
observe.
5.8 With a help of receiver’s configuration software, select the necessary
level of the sensor’s sensitivity. High level – the sensor does not react to
the objects smaller than a hamster. Medium level – the sensor does not
react to such objects as cats or small dogs. Low level – the sensor does
not react to such objects as medium dogs.
5.9 In “security” mode, the sensor sends the alarm signal each 5 seconds
switching on the light simultaneously in case the movement is registered.
In passive mode, the sensor detects movement no more than once in 3 min-
utes without switching on the light emitting diode.
