Installation Preparation
Care@Home™ Passive Infrared Detector User Guide 5
2. Installation Preparation
The following are the steps and processes to prepare for the installation of the PIR.
2.1. Required Equipment
Before beginning, prepare the following equipment:
Double-sided adhesive mounting tape - provided.
One 3V CR123A Lithium battery that has a nominal battery life of 3 years
NOTE: To comply with the UL certification standards, use GP International Ltd.
batteries.
2.2. Location Recommendations
Consider the following when selecting a mounting location for the PIR:
A flat wall surface or a corner in a room
A surface that is clean, dry, and smooth
Within 700 m (2296 ft.) of the CP (open air nominal)
A coverage area within view of the PIR detection angle and range:
Maximum detection angle of 105° horizontal, 80° vertical
Maximum detection range of 12 m (40 ft.)
Installation height of 2 m-2.2 m (6.6-7.2 ft.)
Avoid installing on door frames.
Avoid tall, large objects, such as a bookcase or a cabinet, which even partially obscure the PIR’s
field of vision.
Avoid locations with moving objects in the coverage area, such as curtains or lighting fixtures
with hanging parts.
Avoid locations directly in front of an air conditioner or heat source.

Installation Preparation
6 Care@Home™ Passive Infrared Detector User Guide
A “Combined Bathroom” is a bathroom that includes a toilet. Because this type of bathroom
includes two types of activities, it is important to ensure that both activities are monitored
separately. If there is a “Combined Bathroom” on the premises, you must install special
equipment into the restroom PIR, to capture the restroom activities.
For instructions about the installation in a combined bathroom, see section 4.3 on page 18.
2.3. Best Practices
When installing the Pro or Family systems, the PIR should be installed in accordance with the following
guidelines:
Avoid overlapping coverage areas:
When coverage areas overlap and the resident is detected by both PIRs, each PIR sends a
detection event to the CP as if the Resident is in two places at one time. Overlapping coverage
can cause false detection reporting.
Separate coverage areas ensure distinct identification of the activity area for each PIR.
For example, Figure 2 below presents a typical apartment with a typical installation of five PIRs.
Figure 2: Motion Detectors Installation Example

Installation Preparation
Care@Home™ Passive Infrared Detector User Guide 7
Avoid installing a PIR directly opposite a door.
For example, when the Resident passes the open bathroom door through the hallway, if the
bathroom PIR is installed facing the door, the PIR sends a bathroom event to the CP reporting
that the Resident is entering the bathroom.
Installation recommendations per room:
Install the PIRs 1.5–2 m (5–6.6 ft.) or more above the floor, to allow for maximum
coverage.
Install the bedroom PIR opposite the bed to ensure the entire bed is covered.
Install the living room PIR diagonal to the couch and if possible, not opposite the dining
room.
Install the dining room PIR diagonal to the dining room table and if possible, not facing
the living room.
Install the lavatory PIR 30-50 cm (1–1.6 ft.) above the basin depending on the distance
from the basin.
Install the bathroom PIR diagonal to the sink and the bathtub and if possible, not opposite
the door.
Ensure there is no overlap of the PIR coverage areas when the dining room and living room are
combined. Install the two PIRs “back to back”, such that their locations enable separation of
the two types of activity events:
Living room activity
Dining room activity
Figure 3 below illustrate of a possible solution for installation when a living room is adjacent to
the dining room.
Figure 3: Combined Living Room and Dining Room

Limited batteries.
9. Holding the PIR, move at least 2 m (~6 ft. 7 in.) from the CP.

Installation
Care@Home™ Passive Infrared Detector User Guide 11
10. If the PIR is not from the Care@Home™kit, ensure that the pairing process is successful. The
process can have the following results:
If the pairing process is successful, the CP beeps and the ring, around the CP EMERGENCY
button, blinks Blue three times.
If the pairing process is not successful, the CP beeps and the ring lights up Red for two
seconds.
If the peripheral device is already paired, the CP beeps and the ring lights up alternating
between Blue and Red.
If no additional peripheral devices can be integrated, as when the CP memory is full, the CP
beeps and the ring lights up Red.
The CP returns to its previous operation mode automatically following the pairing process.
11. If the PIR is from the Care@Home™kit and pre-configured with the CP, shake the PIR gently until
the LED lights up Red,to establish a communication channel between the PIR and the CP.
The Communication LED on the CP blinks Green to confirm that the communication channel is
established.

3.2. “Walk Test” Mode
A Walk Test is a function and signal verification check. The test is used to determine the detection
area of the PIR.
The Walk Test mode starts automatically after the PIR powers up, such as:
When a new battery is inserted
After adding and pairing a new PIR with the Care@Home™system
This mode lasts 10 minutes.
During the Walk Test, any motion detection is signaled by the LED on the PIR. The PIR sends a
notification of the motion detection event to the CP.

Installing Special Equipment
Care@Home™ Passive Infrared Detector User Guide 13
4. Installing Special Equipment
When installing the Pro or Family systems, there are situations that require special equipment so that
the activity events are recognized correctly by the analytics algorithm.
If the premises includes rooms that “combine activities”, such as a bathroom with a toilet, you can
install special equipment to prevent overlapping coverage areas.
If the Resident has a pet, it is important to differentiate between the movement of the Resident and
the movement of the pet. Special equipment can be installed to enable the PIR to ignore the pet’s
movements.
The following equipment installed in the PIR can solve these situations:
Pet Immune Lens
Optical Limiter
4.1. Open and Close the PIR
To install the special equipment, you must open the PIR back cover. The circuit board is attached to
the inner compartment of the PIR back cover.
Caution: When working within the inner compartment of the PIR, it is important
to be careful not to damage the circuit board and other parts of the PIR.
4.1.1 Opening the PIR
To open the PIR, perform the following procedure:
Caution: Perform this procedure with special care since the top part of the
front panel is made of very thin plastic covering which might break if too
much pressure is applied.
1. If the PIR is already installed on the premises, dismount the PIR from the mounting-base, as
illustrated in Figure 24 on page 23.

6. Return the PIR onto the mounting-base such that the lens is pointing downward.
4.2. Pet Immune Lens
Figure 14 below shows the pet immune lens. The purpose of the pet immune lens is to reduce false
detections by suppressing motion detections of small objects such as pets.
Figure 14: The Pet Immune Lens
Caution: It is not recommended to install the Pet Immune Lens in a PIR that
includes an Optical Limiter. The coverage area of the PIR may be further
reduced.
To install the pet immune lens in the PIR, perform the following procedure:
1. Open the PIR as instructed in section 4.1.1 on page 13.
2. Release the PIR outer lens with a flat screwdriver by releasing the three latch tabs, which hold the
lens into place, as shown in Figure 15 below. Release the tabs as follows:
Push the side latch tabs towards the center and downward to release the tabs.a.
Push the bottom, center latch tab downward to release the tab.b.
