1 Safety
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Bosch Security Systems, Inc. can void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
At least once per year, vary the range and coverage. To ensure continual daily operation,
instruct the end user to walk through the far end of the coverage pattern. This ensures an
alarm output prior to arming the system.
Old electrical and electronic equipment
This product and/or battery must be disposed of separately from household waste.
Dispose such equipment according to local laws and regulations, to allow their reuse
and/or recycling. This will help in conserving resources, and in protecting human
health and the environment.

4 Installation considerations
When installing the detector, observe the following installation considerations.
i
Notice!
Bracket use
Using a mounting bracket might reduce catch performance and false alarm immunity.
Reduced catch performance might invalidate regulatory certification on the installation.
Regulatory agencies do not approve bracket use. In order to optimize catch performance and
false alarm immunity, ensure that the motion detector is level both vertically and horizontally
and is mounted within the defined mounting height range.
Microwave energy passes through glass and most common non-metallic walls. The PIR
detector reacts to objects rapidly changing temperature within its field-of-view.
Detectors using passive infrared (PIR) technology recognize that all objects give off (emit)
infrared energy. The warmer an object is, the greater the amount of infrared energy is emitted.
The PIR receiver technology is designed to detect the change in infrared energy caused when
a target of a different temperature from a stable background passes through its field of view
(coverage area).
Point the detector away from:
Glass exposed to the outdoors.
Objects that might change temperature rapidly such as heat sources, air
conditioning outlets, or surfaces heated by sunlight.
Objects that small animals such as birds and mice might climb on (stairs,
shelves, ledges, furniture) and appear in the upper zones of the PIR which
are more sensitive. Small animals in close proximity in the field of view of
the detector might also cause false alarms.
Do not install:
In a location where direct sunlight shines onto the detector.
Outdoors.

Bosch Security Systems B.V. Installation manual 2022.01 | 01 | F.01U.401.708
Do not install:
Near rotating machines or other moving objects within the coverage
pattern.
Near objects that can block the field of view.
Where an intruder would walk only directly toward or away from the
detector.
In a location where the detector’s field of view is blocked by movable
objects such as boxes, furniture, doors or windows. The PIR detector
does not detect through glass.
Near doors and windows or other openings where cold or warm air can
flow onto the detector.

2022.01 | 01 | F.01U.401.708 Installation manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
Do not install:
Above doors where an object can appear within 30 cm (1 ft) in front of
and/or underneath the detector to avoid false anti-mask alarms.
In a location where the detector would be too close to any movable
object that may cause anti-mask alarms.
For detectors with anti-mask:
Do not install:
Above doors where an object can appear within 30 cm (1 ft) in front of
and/or underneath the detector to avoid false anti-mask alarms.
In a location where the detector would be too close to any movable
object that may cause anti-mask alarms.
Do install:
Where an intruder is most likely to cross through the coverage pattern.
Within recommended installation height range measured from the floor.
