NOTICE: To avoid possible circuit board damage, use only the mounting
hardware provided in the appropriate punch-out mounting holes.
c) In non-pet applications only, if look-down is desired, peel away the look-
down mask. Do not remove the clear plastic lens.
d) Mount the detector between 2.3 m and 2.7 m high.

amount of adhesive
is rcommended to
keep the magnet in
place.

If wall tamper is desired:
Determine the location
of the detector. Measure
65 mm from the center
of the detector and mark
the spot on the wall. Drill
a 9 mm hole in the wall.
Corner Mounting:
Tap the magnet into the wall.

The batteries are not installed in
the detector when it is shipped.
When installing the batteries it
is necessary to observe proper
polarity or the sensor may not
function.
When the batteries are installed,
wait at least 5 minutes 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 stabilize on startup).

Remove and replace cover to activate a
90-sec Walk Test Mode. During this Test
Mode, any activity in the sensor’s cov-
erage pattern will cause a transmitted
alarm and LED activation. Each alarm will
also extend the Test Mode for an ad-
ditional 90-sec. Walk Testing should be
done across the coverage pattern. The
edge of the coverage pattern is deter-
mined by the first flash of the LED. This
may change slightly depending upon
the sensitivity setting. Walk Test the
unit from both directions to determine
the pattern boundaries.Although gener-
ally not required, if masking is desired,
the lens diagram shows the appropriate
areas to be masked. Use an opaque mate-
rial (such as, electrical tape) to mask the
desired areas.
NOTICE: Excessive use of the Walk Test
Mode may reduce battery life. Use only
for initial setup and
maintenance testing.
While the detector is in the Walk Test Mode,
turn on all heating and air conditioning sources
which would normally be active during the
protection period. Stand away from the sensor
and outside the coverage pattern and watch for
alarms. After setup and tests are completed,
and there has been no activity in the sensor’s
coverage pattern for approximately 90-sec, the
LED will flash to indicate that the Walk Test
mode is ending.
NOTICE: In the normal operating mode, an
alarm can be transmitted only after three (3)
minutes have passed since the previous alarm
restoral. This 3 minute lockout time reduces un-
necessary RF transmissions in high traffic areas
thereby extending battery life.
Maintenance
At least once a year, the range and coverage
should be verified for proper operation. To
assure daily operation, the end user should be
instructed to walk through the far end of the
coverage pattern to verify an alarm output prior
to arming the system.
