TriTech Motion Sensor
• Coverage area 10.7 m by 10.7 m (35 ft by 35 ft).
• Internal coverage pointability -4° to -10° Vertical.
• Field selectable sensitivity options of Standard and
the more sensitive setting of Intermediate.
• Three minute transmitter lockout time after alarm
extends battery life.
• Timed Walk Test Mode automatically disables LED
after setup to extend battery life.
• Cover activated Tamper indication. Optional wall-
activated Tamper is included.

FCC and IC Compliance Notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received including interference
that may cause undesired operation. This device complies with Industry Canada
licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux ap-
pareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de
l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage
est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using
an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio
peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les
risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs,
il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente.

NOTICE:
In non-pet applications only, If look-down
is desired, peel away the look-down mask.
Do not remove the clear plastic lens.

Install the Battery
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.

Replace Unit
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.
LED Conditions: 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.
8Program the Control Panel
There is a two-part ID sticker lo-
cated on the housing of the RF835.
You will need the number on this
sticker to program the Detector
into the control panel. Refer to your
panel’s Programming Guide for
programming information on wire-
less type devices.
