Bosch RF940E Operation and maintenance manual

• Remove the detector’s cover using a small flatblade screwdriver.
Bottom of Detector
Insert screwdriver here or here
• Remove the board from the case by pressing the mounting tabs
toward the side of the case and gently lifting the board.
• Punch out appropriate holes in the mounting plate (for surface
or corner applications). For optional swivel mount bracket, see
instructions that come with the bracket.
NOTE: To avoid possible circuit board damage, use only the
mounting hardware provided in the appropriate punch-out
mounting holes.
•In non-pet applications only, if look-down is desired, peel away
the look-down mask. Do not remove the clear plastic lens.
• Mount the detector between 2.3 m and 2.7 m high.
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.
• For Surface Mounting:

for the RF940E
Passive Infrared Detector
1.0 General Information
The RF940E is a high performance PIR Motion Sensor which uses
advanced signal processing to provide outstanding catch
performance and unsurpassed false alarm immunity. With Bosch
Security Systems Pet Friendly®pet immunity, the RF940E will not
detect a dog up to 13kg, two cats, and numerous rodents. It contains
an integral RF transmitter capable of transmitting 300 meters in
open air. (Actual acceptable transmitter range should be verified for
each installation). The transmitter sends a battery report with each
transmission and transmits a supervisory signal to the control panel
every 13 minutes.

89/336/EEC
•Options: B335 Low Profile Swivel Mount
Bracket (The use of brackets may
reduce range and increase dead
zone areas)
3.0 Mounting Procedure
Surface or Corner Mounting (without swivel bracket)
• The maximum wireless range of the detector, in open air, is
approximately 300 meters. In normal household or commercial
applications it is recommended that the detector be kept within
100 meters of the control panel receiver to which it is assigned.
It is recommended that the detector be temporarily mounted, using
double sided tape, and tested for both detector coverage and RF
range from the desired location before permanent mounting.
• Mount the detector where an intruder will most likely cross through
the coverage pattern.
•Do not mount in areas with large metallic surfaces (e.g. heating
ducts) or electrical wiring which may inhibit the sensor’s RF signals
from reaching the Control Panel Receiver.
•Do not mount the detector outdoors or where direct sunlight can
reach it.
• In pet immune applications, do not mount where pets can climb
because the upper areas are not pet immune.

RF940E Installation Instructions
P/N: 42722G Page 2
5.0 Battery Installation
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).
6.0 Walk Testing
NOTE: Mountthe detectorbetween 2.3m and2.7 mhigh andconsult

Pattern Testing
Remove and replace cover to activate a 90 second Walk Test
Mode. During this Test Mode, any activity in the sensor’s coverage
pattern will cause a transmitted alarm and LED activation. Each
alarm will also extend the Test Mode for an additional 90 seconds.
Walk Testing should be done across the coverage pattern. The
edge of the coverage pattern is determined 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 generally not required, if
masking is desired, the lens diagram
shows the appropriate areas to be
masked. Use an opaque material (such
as, electrical tape) to mask the desired
areas.
NOTE: Excessive use of the Walk Test
Mode may reduce battery life.
Use only for initial setup and
maintenance testing.
FinalTesting
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 seconds, the
LED will flash to indicate that the Walk Test mode is ending.
NOTE: In the normal operating mode, an alarm can be transmit-
ted only after three (3) minutes have passed since the
previous alarm restoral. This 3 minute lockout time
reduces unnecessary 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.
