1. Introduction
The VE735AM/VE736AM are PIR/AM motion sensors. They have a patented
verified PIR technology, multi-channel anti-masking.
2. Installation guidelines
The technology in this detector resists false alarm hazards. Nevertheless
avoid potential causes of instability, such as:
Direct sunlight on the detector.
Heat sources within a field of view.
Strong draughts onto the detector.
Large animals in a field of view.
Objects within 50 cm (20 in.) of the anti-masking (AM) detector.
Obscuring the detector’s field of view with large objects, such as
furniture.
Installing two detectors facing each other and less than 50 cm apart.

- 9 -
3. Mounting the detector
1. Lift off the custom insert and remove the enclosed screw (fig. ,
steps 1 and 2).
2. Using a screwdriver, carefully prise open the detector (fig. , steps 3
and 4).
3. Remove the interior part (fig. ).
4. Fix the base to the wall between 1.8 m and 3.0 m (5.9-9.8 ft.) from the
floor. For flat-mounting use a minimum of two screws (DIN 7998), at
least one in position A and one in position B. For corner-mounting use
screws in positions C or D (fig. ).
CAUTION! Not all screw positions have pry-off tamper. Non
pry-off positions are shown in the Warning box in figure
 .
5. Wire the detector (figs. and ).
6. Select the desired jumper and DIP switch settings (Section 4).
7. Replace the interior part (fig. b).
8. Align the detector, as shown (figs. cand j) and see
Aligning the
beam and walk testing the detector
(section 6).
9. Remove the blinders and add the stickers, if required (see figs. dand
efor an example).
10. Insert the insect-protection caps (fig. f, step 1).
11. Close the cover (fig. f, step 2).
12. Insert the screw (if required) and replace the custom insert (fig. f,
step 3).
4. Setting the detector
The detector must be restarted (re-powered) after changing the settings or
detection pattern.
Jumpers (fig. )


J1 : PIR sensitivity
It changes the distance-to-alarm delay (the speed of the decision
algorithm); the higher the sensitivity, the faster the sensor will react
(fig. ). There are three different PIR sensitivities.

Low sensitivity : Use where there is a risk of false alarms. Do
not use in long-range applications (>20 m (65.6 ft.)) or single-
curtain applications.
Medium sensitivity: Most situations (ex-factory).
High sensitivity: Use for high-risk situations. Recommended
for use in corridors.


J2 : Curtain Location Mode (CLM)
It allows you to identify where the edges of the curtains are precisely
located. When an intruder enters a curtain, the red and yellow LEDs flash
alternatively (fig. ). J2 is also used for long-range alignment (see section
6).

On.
See Section 6B.


J3 : Dual loop (only available on VE735AM)
It is used to set the alarm and tamper relay. It allows you to connect the
detector to any control panel.
EOL Loop (4K7)
Terminals 4 and 5 of the alarm output must be used when
connecting to the control panel.
Isolated Alarm and Tamper Loop (ex-factory)
Tamper is isolated from the alarm relay. The EOL resistor in
the tamper circuit is short-circuited.
Terminals 3 and 4 of the alarm output must be used when
connecting to the control panel.
Dual Loop
Tamper and alarm loop can be monitored over two wires.
In a normal situation (no alarm) the Dual Loop impedance is
4K7. For a detector alarm, the alarm relay contact opens and
the impedance of the Dual Loop increases to 9K4, indicating
an alarm. When the detector housing is opened, the tamper
circuit opens and the Dual Loop is interrupted, indicating a
tamper alarm (fig. ).

DIP switch 2: Chime (fig. )
The detector can distinguish the direction of the intruder during daytime.
Disable this option by setting the detector to Chime Off. When the chime
is On, the detector will trigger an alarm when the intruder moves right-to-left
or left-to-right across the curtains.
Note: If the Day/Night terminal is not used and the chime is On, the
chime will be On both during arm and disarm (Day/Night) mode.

AM alarms are now only signaled to the control panel during
Day mode by the AM relay. The LEDs are controlled by Day/
Night and Walk Test inputs. Resetting the AM alarm can only
be done in walk test mode.
Never show the detector state to the intruder via the LEDs.
2. AM sensitivity
On: Selects a higher level of AM sensitivity. AM relay reacts within 6
seconds.
Off: Selects the standard AM sensitivity. AM relay reacts within 12
seconds.

3. Resetting the AM/TF output
The VE700AM will only reset an AM alarm if it has ensured that the cause of
the AM alarm has been removed. If the AM circuitry cannot return to its
original reference levels, then either the detector is still masked or has
possibly been damaged. The owner should then visually check that the
detector is still fully functional.
On: After a 40-second inhibit period, resets the AM or TF status when a PIR
alarm is generated.
Off: Resets the AM or TF status after a PIR alarm, when the system is set
into Day and Walk Test status. The yellow LED will blink quickly. When
the system is in Night status, the yellow LED will turn off and the
system is reset.
4. How to signal AM or TF output
On: Signals AM on both the AM and Alarm relays.
Signals TF on the AM relay only.
Off: Signals AM and TF on the AM relay.
5. Testing the anti-masking
AM start-up sequence: When the VE700AM is powered, the AM circuitry will
wait until the cover of the detector is properly mounted.
As soon as the cover is mounted, the AM circuitry will monitor the housing
and the surrounding area and store the received signal levels as reference
levels. This procedure takes 75 seconds. During this period, the surrounding
area should remain clear from movement and objects temporarily placed
within 50 cm of the detector.
To test the anti-masking ensure that the PIR DIP switch 4 is set to On (LED
On) and then hold your hand approximately 10 cm (4 in.) in front of the
detector for 12 seconds (when using standard sensitivity) or for 6 seconds
(when using high sensitivity). The yellow LED will light accordingly.
6. Aligning the beam and walk testing the
detector
A. Using VE710 alignment tool (fig. c)
1. Insert the VE710 in the sub-frame with the On/Off switch facing the
floor.
2. Connect it to the COM port.
3. Turn on the VE710.

- 14 -
WARNING! Do not look into the laser beam.
The output power is less than 1 mW. Consequently the
VE710 laser is classified by IEC60825-1 as a Class 2
laser. The eye’s blinking reflex is fast enough to prevent
any permanent damage to the eye.
4. The laser spot indicates the product alignment (Fig. cA). If this spot
on the wall veers from the centre of the desired detection area 1 m
(3.3 ft.) from the ground, then loosen the base fixation screws (Fig.
) and use the three adjustment screws in the base to realign it to the
centre, as shown in Fig. cB. When the spot is correctly realigned,
retighten the base fixation screws.
5. Remove the alignment tool and replace the cover.
6. Carry out the walk test. Make sure that the red LED is On after the
walk test.
B. Without the alignment tool (fig. j, back cover)
1. Insert the mirror blinders in order to ensure that the detector is in
single-curtain mode.
2. Put J2 to On and wait until both LEDs are Off.
3. Walk in front of the detector across the field of view at normal speed
(without pausing) and at the maximum possible range. When you enter
the beam, both LEDs will start to blink simultaneously.
After crossing the beam, if:
1. The red LED is On (fig. jA), the alignment is OK.
2. The red and yellow LEDs are blinking simultaneously then the
field of view is obstructed and is insufficient to verify an alarm.
There are two options:
If the blinking started near the end of the detection area, you need
to align the beam to the left (fig. jB).
If the blinking started near the start of the detection area, you need
to align the beam to the right (fig. jC).
Loosen the base fixation screws (fig. ) and use the three adjustment
screws in the base to realign the beam to the centre, as shown in fig.
cB. When the beam is correctly realigned, retighten the base fixation
screws.
4. If the LEDs do not blink, the curtain is outside of the detection range
(fig.jD) . Walk across the beam at a shorter distance to try to
detect it.
5. Redo the walk test to confirm that the detector is correctly aligned.
6. Put J2 to Off.
Note 1: If the CLM is On, the alarm output is activated.
Note 2: It is recommended to place the cover on the detector during the
CLM walk test.

8. General information
Note: First set the appropriate active polarity of the Control Voltage
(CV) using the PIR DIP switch 1. The detector is in Night mode when
the appropriate control voltage is applied to terminal 10 and in Day mode
when the control voltage is disconnected.
A) Latching
When using multiple detectors in a single loop, wire for Day/Night and Walk
Test inputs, as shown below (repeated in figure ).
B) Remotely enabling/disabling the walk test LED (fig.
)
Put the detector in Day mode and enable the walk test status. The
detector’s LED will turn on as the alarm relay opens and turn off when the
relay closes. The walk test can now be carried out.
To enable the walk test LED without a remote CV input, set DIP switch 4 to
the On position. After the walk test, set DIP switch 4 to the Off position.
It is recommend that the detector is regularly walk tested and the
communication with the control panel checked.
C) Setting the alarm memory (fig. )
In Day mode a blinking LED indicates which of the detector(s) have caused
the alarm during Night mode.
Switching back into Night mode will clear the memory and turn the LED off.
Enabling the walk test will not clear the alarm memory. Disabling the walk
test will cause the indication of memorised alarms to re-appear.
D) Selecting the coverage pattern (fig. e)
The coverage pattern can be changed to fit specific requirements by using
the mirror stickers (enclosed), as shown. It is recommended to blind unused
curtains that are looking at objects located very close to the detector.
CAUTION! Removing the stickers can damage the mirror
surface!

E) Blocking the curtains (fig. d)
The mirror blinders are fitted ex-factory on the mirror. To remove a blinder,
first remove the interior part of the detector. Then lift the lower part of the
blinder and wiggle the upper part to loosen it. When long-range detection
is not required (>20 m (>65.6 ft.)), remove the long-range mirror (fig.
g).
F) Pry-off and cover tamper
The detector has both pry-off and cover tamper (EN 50131-2-2 compliant).
A. It is important to use the screw indicated in figure in order to
ensure pry-off tamper.
B. For corner-mount applications, use the ST400 for pry-off tamper (fig.
i). However, see the caution listed in section 3, step 4.
G) SB01 swivel-mount bracket (optional)
When it is not possible to mount the detector on a wall, use the SB01 to
mount it on the ceiling (fig. h).
9. Remote and self-testing the detector
Technical fault: There are two causes for technical faults.
A: It is caused by continuously monitoring the pyro and the AM circuit
reference levels.
B: It is caused by the Self Test and the Remote Test.
Remote test: This test allows the VE700AM to be tested from the control
panel. Use terminal 12 to activate it. The VE700AM will activate the Alarm
relay if the test result is positive and the AM relay if the test result is
negative.
Self test: The VE700AM monitors the PIR and AM circuits continuously. A
defect is reported as a technical fault.
- 17 -

- 18 -
Remote test: Self test:
Technical fault:
A: A technical fault detected by continuous monitoring can be reset in two
ways.
1. Authorised reset. Set the system to Day and Walk Test status and
then carry out a walk test. At the next PIR alarm the system resets if
all reference levels are within the specified limits.
2. Auto reset. After a 40-second inhibit period, it automatically resets
after a successful walk test if all reference levels are within the
specified limits.
B: A technical fault detected by a Self Test or a Remote Test can only be
reset by another Self Test or a Remote Test if the test is successful.
10. Glossary
Alarm memory: A storage medium located on the detector that can record
signals generated by the detector.
Anti-masking (AM): A feature of the detector that allows it to detect when
someone is trying to mask it (for example, by spraying paint on it). When
masking is detected, a relay is activated.
Curtains: A vertical continuous layer of detection zones. The PIR detector
can only detect motion within the curtains and not in the spaces between
them.
Curtain Location Mode (CLM): A feature of the detector that identifies
precisely the edges of the curtains.
Day mode: The detector is not required to generate an alarm signal or
message when activated by a person walking in front of it.
Masking: Placing a physical barrier (such as paper, metal or sprayed
paints) close to or on the detector which interferes with its capability to
detect an intrusion.
