RF940U
Wireless Passive Infrared Detector
With Pet Immunity
Installation Instructions
1.0 Description
The RF940U is a high performance Wireless Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensor which uses advanced signal processing to provide outstanding catch
performance and unsurpassed false alarm immunity. It is designed to detect movement in the interior of a structure by sensing the Infrared energy emitted from
the human body as it moves across the sensor’s field of view. When motion is detected, the unit sends an alarm signal to the Control Panel. With Bosch Security
Systems’ Pet Friendly®pet immunity, the RF940U does not detect a dog up to 13.6 kg (30 lbs.), two cats, or numerous rodents.
2.0 Specifications

Step 2. Press the locking tab toward the
side of the baseplate and lift out the
board.
Avoid pointing the detector at:
Step 3. Select a mounting location. Mount
the sensor where an intruder will
most likely cross through the coverage
pattern.

Step 4. Use knockouts to mount the

wall or corner. Remove shaded areas in
the baseplate if using the B335 Swivel
Mount Bracket.
Step 5. If using the wall tamper, remove the
knockout and go to Step 6. If the tamper
is not used, go to Step 7.

6.0 Coverage Patterns
Although generally not required, masking may
be desired to eliminate potential false alarm
sources by blocking individual zones (1 through
77 in the zone pattern), or to customize the
detection area.
The appropriate lens areas to be masked can
be derived from the lens diagram. For example,
covering the shaded area in the lens diagram
would block zones 5, 16, 27, 38, 49, 60, and 71
(i.e., one group of vertically layered zones).
Use an opaque material such as electrical tape
for masking.
Step 7. Select the Wall Tamper Jumper.
Step 8. Snap the board into the clip so the
notch aligns with the tab on the clip.
Step 9. Remove the pull tab to energize the
detector.
5.0 Look-Down Zone
For non-pet applications only.
If look-down is desired, peel away the mask to enable
the Look-Down Zone. Do not remove the clear
plastic lens.
Step 6. If the wall tamper is used:
a. Remove the wall tamper knockout as
shown in Step 5.
b. Using the detector base as a guide, drill a 4.8 mm
(3/16 in.) hole into the wall.
c. Insert the wall anchor into the hole and tap gently
into place. Then place the rivet into the anchor and
tap into place.
d. When mounting the base, make
sure the rivet protrudes through
the correct hole.
e. When mounting the circuit board,
the rivet must be over the Tamper
Switch Arm.

4.0 Walk Test
Perform the Walk Test at the time of installation and annually thereafter.
a. Remove and replace the detector cover to enable the LED and place the detector in Walk Test
Mode for 90 seconds. If motion is detected, the detector remains in Walk Test Mode until a
90-second quiet period (no motion detected) occurs.
b. Walk test across the coverage pattern as shown in the diagram.
The edge of the coverage is determined by activation of the LED.
c. Walk test the unit from both directions to determine the boundaries.
d. If the desired range cannot be achieved, make sure the board is properly
positioned on the baseplate. Try angling the unit up or down when using
the optional swivel mount.
The RF940U infrared detector contains an environmental stabilization circuit
that requires approximately 3 minutes after initial power-up to warm up.
During this time, the detector LED blinks once per second and the detector
does not respond to any movement. After warm up, the detector must not see any movement for 2
seconds to complete stabilization. Rapid LED flash indicates Walk Test Mode is about to end unless
an alarm occurs.
