SOUTDOOR L INSTALLATION
V1.0
Double PIR outdoor Detector
1. INTRODUCTION
ENGLISH
SOUTDOOR-L is a Dual Digital PIR sensor, with an analysis system that takes into account the two most important
changes that may occur during a movement: the speed and the intensity. With the simultaneous comparison
of these two information, the sensor is able to discriminate repetitive movements from intrusion, lowering
the percentage of false alarms. With hight thermal variations, the totally digital temperature compensation
system, guarantees a great performance. Has 15mt coverage, with angle of 90 °. With usable different type of lens it
is possible use the sensor in different situation, related to the height positioning, and the type of protection required,
eg. curtain protection etc.
Characteristics:
• Dual technology outdoor sensors (2 digital PIR with 4 seconds AND operation).
• Different types of lenses depending on the type of installation (volumetric; vertical/horizontal).
• PET immune.
• Back tamper and anti-opening tamper.
• Range adjustable 6 meters or 12 meters.
• Walking test led
• Double pulse
• Bracket

Installation
Place the sensor at a height of between 1 m and 2m. Important: placement should be chosen depending on the lens
used. Read the chapter LENSES to understand how to use them.
Use the dip switch for setting the sensor.
The Dip 4 is used when the installing condition are diificult. Eg. when there are many trees and plants, or when the size
of the animals are rather large (over 25kg).
Note: in the presence of large animals use the horizontal curtain lens in the down PIR, if is necessary move the board
of the sensor like in figure.

Board Adjustment
In addition to the electronic adjustments, the sensor can be vertically adjusted physically regarding the direction of the
beams. As you can see in the picture below you can slide the board inside the cover.

FUNCTIONS
Sliding system detail
board
The sliding is opposite to the beam so when the board is moved up-
ward the beams are lowered and when it is lowered beams are raised.
In the figures below you can see the effect achieved when moving
the board. These adjustments are also needed for animal tolerance.
With the lens mounted by default (volumetric up, horizontal curtain
down) you can get a very accurate result on animal tolerance.
Test the sensor alarm threshold whenever an adjustment is made.
NOTE: sliding the board it must remain
within + / - 2 mm. from centrally located for
not to compromise the sensor detection

TYPE LENS - how to recognize them
In the sensor package there are 3 types of lenses:
- Horizontal curtain lens (Fig. 1)
- Vertical curtain lens (fig. 2)
- Volumetric curtain lens (fig. 3)
On the sensors are mounted, by default, on the PIR1 (top) the volumet-
ric lens and on the PIR2 (bottom) the horizontal curtain lens. In the next
section it’s explained how to use the different types of lenses.

Lenses provided
The lenses mounted on the sensor are: volumetric for PIR 1 (upper), horizontal curtain for PIR 2 with rather thick
beams. This solution is designed for almost all applications that require a standard installation at about 1.8/2 meters
high, with the possibility of managing the presence of animals. (fig. above)
Besides the standard configuration, you can use the optional lenses included in the package.
Using the sensor with 2 horizontal curtain lenses: you can position the sensor at a height between 80 cm and 1.2
m based on need. Then adjust the board position based on the beam range.
This way you have a variable height protection from 35/40 cm from the ground and up to 1.6 cm high with a horizontal
coverage of about 80/100 degrees. With this configuration you can achieve immunity to medium to large animals even
at considerable distances (15 m).
Using the sensor with 2 vertical curtain lenses: the use of vertical curtain lenses is based on the need to protect
doors and windows with a vertical curtain that is no wider than 50 cm. In this way the protection is only near the doors
and/or windows without extending into other areas. You can position the sensor at a height of between 1 m and 2 m
based on need. The beam is about 50 cm wide for an aperture of about 90/100 vertical degrees (fig. below)

FUNCTIONS
The lenses are attached to the sensor with funnels that are snapped into the housings on the front cover (fig.)
Replacing the lenses

www.amcelettronica.com Installation Instructions
soutdoor L
To replace the lenses you must remove the funnel and remove the lens that is resting in the housing as shown in figure
1 and 2.
Note: the smooth part of the lenses must be positioned towards the outside.
Important: the volumetric lens has one direction, therefore pay close attention to how it is positioned. When
put up against the light you can see how the FRESNEL lenses work. They are always kept towards the bottom.
Position the new lens in the housing, replace the funnel and snap it into its housing.
2. INSTALLATION
Remove the screws from the upper cover and then remove the board mounting screws.

www.amcelettronica.com Installation Instructions
soutdoor L
Remove the board, making a hole in the back of the upper cover for the cable to pass through in a suitable installation
position. Make another 2 holes to attach the sensor to the wall. We recommend using anchors that are no smaller
than 3 mm.
Once the cable and wall attachment holes have been made, take the measurement to attach an anchor (3 mm) to the
anti-removal system. (see above fig.1 and fig.2)
Then attach the bottom and re-close, taking into account the positioning mentioned previously.
Note: remember that the distance between the board and the base is 13.5 mm. Space reserved for the proper
positioning of the cable feeder or any piping to be inserted.
Screw for Anti-removal system - Fig.2
Using the bracket
You can use the bracket included in the package for attaching it to the wall. The back of the cover is ready for attach-
ment of the bracket and for the passage of the cables inside it. You can see how it should be used in the figure. In case
of use of the bracket, for the closure of the anti-removal tamper mount the specific screw, in the seat shown in Fig.1.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Installation must be performed according to accepted standards by specialized personnel.
The manufacturer shall not be responsible if the product is tampered with by unauthorised persons.
We recommend that you check the correct operation of the alarm system at least once per month. A reliable electronic
alarm system does not prevent intrusions, robberies, fires or other occurrences but simply reduces the risk of occurrence.
Installation must be carried out following the local installation norms by qualified personnel.
The manufacturer refuses any responsibility when changes or unauthorized repairs are made to the product/system.
It is recommended to test the operation of the alarm product/system at least once a month. Despite frequent testing and
due to, but not limited to, any or all of the following: tampering, electrical or communication disruption or improper use, it
is possible for the product/system to fail to prevent burglary, rubbery, fire or otherwise. A properly installed and maintained
alarm system can only reduce the risk that this happens.
