WARNING
FOR THE INSTALLER:
Please follow carefully the specifications relative to electric and security systems realization further to the manufacturer's
prescriptions indicated in the manual provided.
Provide the user the necessary indication for use and system's limitations, specifying that there exist precise specifications and
different safety performances levels that should be proportioned to the user needs. Have the user view the directions indicated
in this document.
FOR THE USER:
Periodically check carefully the system functionality making sure all enabling and disabling operations were made correctly.
Have skilled personnel make the periodic system's maintenance. Contact the installer to verify correct system operation in case
its conditions have changed (e.g.: variations in the areas to protect due to extension, change of the access modes, etc…)
......................................................
This device has been projected, assembled and tested with the maximum care, adopting control procedures in accordance with
the laws in force. The full correspondence to the functional characteristics is given exclusively when it is used for the purpose it
was projected for, which is as follows:
Advanced wireless IR detector for doors and windows protection
Any use outside of this area is not provided and it is not possible to guarantee its proper operation, and therefore it is expressly
forbidden to the holder of this manual to use it for other reasons than those indicated.
The manufacturing process is carefully controlled to prevent defects and malfunctions; nevertheless the components used is
subjected to faults extremely low percentage, as indeed it does for every other electronic or mechanical.
Given the target of this article (property and persons protection) invite the user to proportion the protection level offered by the
system to the actual risk (considering the possibility that the system it is operating in degraded mode due to faults or other),
reminding that there are clear rules for the design and construction of equipment to this type of application.
The system's operator is hereby advised to see regularly to the periodic maintenance of the system, at least in accordance with
the provisions of current legislation, as well as to carry out checks on the correct running of said system on as regular a basis
as the risk involved requires, with particular reference to the control unit, sensors, sounders, dialler(s) and any other device
connected. The user must let the installer know how well the system seems to be operating, based on the results of periodic
checks, without delay.
Design, installation and servicing of systems which include this product, should be made by skilled staff with the necessary
knowledge to operate in safe conditions in order to prevent accidents. These systems' installation must be made in accordance
with the laws in force. Some equipment's inner parts are connected to electric main and therefore electrocution may occur if
servicing was made before switching off the main and emergency power. Some products incorporate rechargeable or non
rechargeable batteries as emergency power supply. Their wrong connection may damage the product, properties and the
operator's safety (burst and fire).

1. GENERALS
The BladeRF detector is a advanced wireless IR detector with reduced-dimension and high-performance, desi-
gned to protect windows, French-windows or doors thanks to their precise curtain coverage. It can be installed
in vertical position, at the side of the window or door, or in horizontal above the window, fixed under the roller
platform. The detector BladeRf allows to realize an efficient perimeter protection via radio at three levels, in fact
is possible to connect a magnetic contact and a detector for shutter to the corresponding terminals.
For installation between shutters/roll-up shutters and windows/doors, the detector is equipped by special paths
in the case base and seals to prevent the water ingress when the cables enter laterally.
The detector functionality is selectable through dipswitches, the encoding used by the radio section can be se-
lected to be compatible with the protocol used by Helios system or by the Villeggio system with fw. 5.x or higher.
Note: for Villeggio control unit series with previous firmware at the version 5.0.0, select the HELIOS protocol, the
Villeggio protocol is supported only by Villeggio control unit series with firmware 5.0.0 or higher and
other compatible devices.
One key point of detector is the use of a digital PIR to obtain a very high immunity to noise and accuracy of
detection.
The detector is equipped with blue LEDs to display the periodic transmission and the alarm.
At the time of first power supply, the detector automatically goes into Walk Test for faster functionality test.
The nice aesthetic appearance facilitates installation in any kind of environment.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Open, fixed and close operation of the case
The installer must operate in total absence of electrostatic charges alrea-
dy opening the case, make sure that the electronic card of the detector
can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. The precautions should be
observed during the installation phase and during maintenance.
1) Unscrew the fixing screw of the cover on the upper part of the case,
indicated with A.
2) Separate the front cover by releasing the latches marked with Bby tur-
ning fulcrum in B.
3) The closing operation of the cover requires the invert execution of the
operations previously exposed, taking the utmost care to ensure that
the closing spring of the Tamper protection microswitch indicated with
C is seated correctly, conclude the fixing operation by screwing the
self-tapping screw of the cover. Finally you will have to insert the cap I
for masking the front screw.
Posting operations and hang-up the board:
1) Remove the fixing screw of the printed circuit indicated by D.
2) Pull out the circuit board by gently twisting it and moving it forward
upwards to release it from the lower hook indicated by E.
3) The operation of the hang-up board to bottom of the case requires in-
vert execution of the operations previously exposed.
Drilling and wall installation:
1) Proceed to the positioning and fixing of the bottom
using as template the detector holes indicated with F
(distance 65 mm) after analyzing the possibilities of
installation and understand the instructions and re-
strictions highlighted in this manual.
Cable routing:
1) In case of magnetic contact and/or sensor connectior for shutter, the
cables must be inserted into the hole Gat the center of the cable cover
channel. The introduction path of the cable is facilitated by the plastic
bottom suitably shaped, to the side entrance there are two entrances,
when not in use they must be sealed with supplied plastic plugs.

3.2 General warnings
- The curtain detector must be entered in interstice between window \ French-windows and its shutter \ roll-up,
the opening of the protection area is approximately 80° longitudinally and 15° transversely.
- Can be installed horizontal or vertical: horizontal is recommended in case of doors, about windows can be
install horizontally or vertically. Check position of Dip1 according to the position of fastening defined.
- The installation should be performed:
A)If vertical with the lens downward and ceiling detector.
B)If horizontal with the lens towards the center of the window\door and the detector approached the edge wall.
In both cases, for clarity it is recommended to refer to the installation examples.
- Connect any sensor for shutter and the magnetic contact respecting the instructions in the chapter of the
electrical connections.
3.3 Effects of building materials and furnishings
The BladeRf installation must respect certain rules to avoid a drop in performance due to positioning errors. In
fact, it is vitally important to define with the greatest care the operating area of the receiving system in which the
transmitter is installed, the actual sensors coverage and the correct installation especially in relation to the nature
of the materials used in the building construction.
The drawings below show the correct and wrong installation positions, objects that can attenuate the RF signal
and the attenuation of some building materials.
