Installation:
With the Askari Scout in walk-test mode, and programmed into a Alarm I/O, it will
trigger intruder (3 beeps) which will be followed by a low tone. The low tone is
transmitted by the Alarm I/O and indicates receipt of the intruder signal.
Choose a location for your Scout and ensure you are getting signal conrmation at that
location by triggering both beams and waiting for the low tone.
The Askari Scout has a single ball-joint mounting bracket with 3 possible bracket
mounting locations on the back of the spine.
Survey the area you wish the beams to cover. If the ground is relatively at, install the
bracket in the middle mounting location. If the unit is to be angled upward, choose a
higher mounting location, and if the unit is to angled downward, choose a lower
mounting location.

The Askari Scout is a Wireless, Dual PIR Motion Detector
with Bi-Directional Communications NOTE: A) The on-board walk-test buzzer will continue to be active until the Scout
has had no intruder triggers for 20 minutes
B) When the Scout is programmed into a Alarm I/O, and in walk-test
mode, intruder signal (3 beeps) will be followed by a low tone to conrm
RF communication. This allows the installer to position the Scout
anywhere on the property where RF communication is conrmed.
