Mount the Detector Base
NOTICE:
The Wall Tamper cannot be used in
corner mount installations or when
using the swivel bracket.
The batteries are not installed in
the detector when it is shipped.
When installing the batteries it is
necessary to observe proper polar-
ity or the sensor may not function.

If the Wall Tamper is desired, gently
press the spring onto the tapered shaft.
Do not force it down onto the shaft. As
you place the unit onto its base, be sure
the spring extends through the knock-out
to the wall.
When the batteries are installed, wait at
least 5 min before activating the Walk
Test Mode. The LED will stop flashing
when the detector is ready to test (the
sensor requires “lack of motion” to stabi-
lize on startup). Refer to LED Conditions
chart.

Walk test the detector.
Perform this test at the time of installation and monthly thereafter. To ensure contin-
ual daily operation, the end user should be instructed to walk through the far end of
the coverage pattern. This ensures an alarm output prior to arming the system.
Remove and replace the cover to start a 90-sec Walk Test Mode.
During this Test Mode, any activity in the sensor’s coverage pattern will cause a trans-
mitted alarm and LED activation. Each alarm will also extend the Test Mode.
Watch for the yellow LED to indicate the edges of the Microwave pattern. Adjust as
necessary.
