INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ZR530 Passive Infrared Motion
Detector/Transmitter is a battery-operated wireless
device.
Designed for use in commercial and residential
installations, the ZR530 is a wall-mounted unit with
a standard lens that provides wide-angle
protection up to a range of 12m. For best
coverage, mount the detector so that the likely
direction of intruder motion is across the pattern.
This document provides installation instructions
for the ZR530, but the installer must be familiar
with the Installation Instructions for the FBII control
panel with which the ZR530 is intended to be
used.
FEATURES
•Wireless operation for fast installation.
• Dual-element pyro-electric sensor provides
positive protection while minimizing false
alarms.
• Alternate polarity pulse count option offers
greater stability in adverse environments.
• Provision to turn LED on while walk testing
(LED is turned off after testing).
• Tamper-protected cover – unit transmits
message if cover is removed.
• Wall or corner mounting options.
• Optional Pet Alley and Long Range lenses
available.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Optical System
Uses efficiently designed Fresnel lenses.
Radio Transmitter
The built-in transmitter serves only as the
communication link to the alarm system's
Receiver/Control, and can send alarm, tamper,
supervisory, and battery status messages to the
system's receiver/control. The transmitter is not
used for detection purposes. Each detector has a
unique ID code permanently assigned at the
factory. You must program this ID into the control
system at the time of installation. The ID allows
each detector used in the system to be uniquely
identified. You can program the ZR530 as
"supervised " or "unsupervised."
To conserve battery life during normal operation,
no more than one transmission sequence will
occur within a 3-minute period. There is no such
time restriction in "test" mode.
Alternate Polarity Pulse Count
Two jumper-selectable detection response modes
are provided: Instant response (Pulse Count OFF)
and Alternate Polarity Pulse Count (Pulse Count
ON). With Pulse Count OFF, any detected change
in infrared energy will trigger an immediate alarm
signal. This mode is recommended when the
detector is used to monitor a narrow hallway
where coverage is provided by only a single zone.
Use the Pulse Count ON mode when the detector
is installed in areas where periodic changes in
infrared energy levels are normal (for example,
where forced-air heating ducts are present). In this
mode, at least two changes in infrared energy
must be detected within a short period before an
alarm will be triggered.
Important Note: If the detector is to be used in
the Pulse Count mode, be sure to walk test the
unit in this mode.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Remove front cover by inserting a large
screwdriver blade (or small coin) in groove
between cover and base at the location shown
in Figure 2; rotate blade to override snap fit,
then lift cover off.
2. Observing correct polarity, install the two
lithium batteries (supplied) into the battery
holders, as shown in Figure 4. Make sure the
batteries are firmly seated.
3. Replace the cover (snap fit).
Battery Caution:
Risk of fire, explosion, and burns. Do not
recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C, or
incinerate. Dispose of used batteries promptly.
Keep away from children.
Programming Note: If you have not yet
programmed the detector’s ID into the system
(i.e., this is an initial detector installation), refer
to the PROGRAMMING section below and
perform the ID “programming” procedure
before mounting or testing the detector.
PROGRAMMING
You must enroll the detector’s ID during
installation of the system. Program the control to
enroll the ZR530 as "supervised."
INSTALLATION HINTS
•Do not install where the detector is exposed to
direct sunlight or directly above strong sources
of heat.
•Make sure the detection area does not have
obstructions (curtains, screens, large pieces of
furniture, plants, etc.) which may block the
pattern of coverage.
•Avoid locating a unit in areas which contain
objects likely to produce a rapid change in
temperature, such as central heating, radiators,
or ducts (or heaters of any kind), air
conditioners, open flame, etc.
•Do not mount on an unstable surface.
INSTALLATION
Radio Transmission Path Check
Verify that a strong transmission path between the
ZR530 and the QED's system Receiver/Control
exists before permanently mounting the
detector. Do this by performing the Walk Test
(described later) with the detector temporarily
mounted in its proposed location. The ZR530 will
transmit when sensing motion (waving an arm or
walking into an area). Sometimes, moving the
detector only a few centimeters means the
difference between a strong and weak
transmission path. Experiment until you are
satisfied that the location provides the strongest
transmission path, while still being practical for the
protection pattern desired. This test also verifies
that the detector has been correctly programmed
into the system.
Normal Mounting
Mount the unit to a firm vertical surface (flat on a
wall or in corner).
1. Remove the front cover.
2. Temporarily loosen (do not remove) the screw
holding the PC board in the detector base (see
Figure 5 for location of this screw).
The board can then be moved up or down for
access to the knockout mounting holes in the
base.
3. Refer to Figure 3 for location of knockout
holes in the base. Break out only those holes
required.
4. Mount the detector with screws, using the
selected mounting holes.
5. Before fully tightening the PC board holding
the screw, make sure the board is positioned
so that the arrow is in line with the appropriate
setting on the graduated scale on the right-

- 2 -
hand side of the PC board (see Table 1 and
Figure 4).
Figure 2. Cover Removal
Figure 3. Mounting Holes in Base
Vertical Pattern Adjustment
The protection pattern provided by the lens in use
can be raised or lowered by re-positioning the PC
board in the detector. A graduated scale to the
right of the board (see Figure 4 indicates the
approximate number of degrees by which the
pattern can be raised (max. +5°) or lowered (max.
-15°). The detector is normally shipped with the
board set to the 0° position. To make this
adjustment, remove the cover on the detector and
loosen the screw holding the PC board (the screw
is located at the approximate center of the board).
Slide the board upward or downward by the
number of degrees required, then tighten the
holding screw again. After any adjustment, you
must conduct a walk test to ensure proper
coverage of the area to be protected, as indicated
under "Test Proceduress."
Lens Masking
The masking strips that have been supplied are
designed for application to one or more lens
segments to produce a protection pattern that
suits the particular requirements of the protected
area. Individual masking strips have been
provided for each of the lens segments on the
standard lens supplied with the PIR. Simply peel
off the appropriate pressure-sensitive adhesive
strip(s) and apply over the desired lens
segment(s). Be sure to affix the masking strips to
the inside of the lens (not the outer, smooth side).
Each lens segment that is masked results in the
elimination of one zone of protection from the
coverage pattern. By masking segments of the
lens, you can adjust the coverage to suit the area
to be protected, or eliminate coverage from areas
where you anticipate environmental disturbances
that might reduce the PIR's stability (a heater or
other heat-producing object, for example).
Important: When hallway pattern masking is
used, be sure the PIR is set for instant response.
Horizontal Adjustment of Lens
The protection pattern provided by the lens can be
moved to the left or right by horizontal adjustment
of the lens, as follows:
1. Remove front cover.
2. Press inward on the upper and lower lens
locks at the left or right side only to release the
lens supports on one side. Now slide the lens
to the left or right, as needed. The lens may be
moved as much as 8° from center in either
direction.
3. When the lens is in the desired position, press
the lens locks downward on the released side
to lock the supports in place.
4. Replace the front cover (make sure the cover
snaps tightly).
After any adjustment, you must conduct a walk
test to ensure proper coverage of the area to be
protected, as indicated under "Test Procedures."
PULSE COUNT OPTION
Each detector includes Pulse Count circuitry that
is designed to provide stability in adverse
environments to minimize false alarms. Pulse
count is selected by positioning a jumper across
the ON pulse count terminals (shown in Figure 4).
When set for pulse count, the detector will signal
an alarm within 2 or 3 steps, since the processing
logic requires more complex motion than just a
momentary event. When the detector verifies an
intrusion, the built-in transmitter will send an alarm
message to the control/receiver.
LED DISABLE
The detector is shipped with the LED disabled
(LED jumper in the "NORMAL" position). The LED
may be enabled (for the walk-test) by positioning
the LED jumper in the “TEST" position (see Figure
4).
Note: When the jumper is in the "NORMAL"
position, the LED will not light, but the built-in
transmitter will transmit alarms when the PIR
senses motion.
Figure 4. PC Board
TEST PROCEDURES
Important: Testing should be conducted with the
protected area cleared of all people. Place the
protective system's control in the Test mode for
the walk test procedure. When the PIR senses
movement, a beep will be heard from the system's
console, verifying that the PIR's transmitter signal
has reached the control's wireless receiver.
The absolute range of all PIR units is subject to
variation because of different types of clothing,
backgrounds and ambient temperature. For this
reason, ensure that the most likely intruder routes
are well within the PIR's protective zones and that
walk-testing is carried out along these routes.
Walk-Test
1. Remove front cover and set the pulse count
jumper in the detector in the OFF position
initially. The LED must be enabled at this time
(jumper in the TEST position).
2. Replace front cover and walk through
protective zones, observing that the detector's
LED lights whenever motion is detected (the
LED serves as a Walk-Test indicator during
this procedure).
3. If pulse count is going to be used in this
installation, set the pulse count jumper to the
ON setting and repeat the walk-test procedure.
Note: If pulse count mode is used during the
walk test, the LED will stay lit for approximately
1 to 3 seconds after detecting motion.
4. After the Walk Test is completed, the LED
jumper should be placed in the NORMAL
position (LED disabled). Failing to do so
will reduce the battery life.
MAINTAINING PROPER OPERATION
In order to maintain the detector in proper working
condition, it is important that the user observes the
following:
1. Replace both batteries within 7 days after a
"low battery" message has appeared in the
system's display.
2. Detectors should never be re-aimed or
relocated without the advice or assistance of
the alarm service company.
3. The physical surroundings of the protected
area should not be changed. If furniture or
stock is moved, or air-conditioning or
additional heating is installed, the PIR may
have to be readjusted.
4. Walk-tests should be conducted frequently (at
least weekly) to confirm continued proper
coverage.

detector.
B. Mounting surface is unstable. A few degrees of vertical shift can
change range substantially.
Remedy: Mount on secure surface.
Trouble 4: UNIT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE OPERATING
Probable Causes:
A. Unit is not receiving power.
Remedy: Check for appropriate battery voltage. Install new batteries if
necessary. Be sure to change both batteries.
LIMITATIONS OF THE PIR MOTION DETECTOR
While the Intrusion Detector is a highly reliable intrusion detection device, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary. Any Intrusion
Detection device is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons:
•Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in this installation manual.
•Passive Infrared Motion Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be
detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams.
•Passive Infrared Detectors cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass
doors, or windows.
•Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the lenses, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce the
detection ability of the Passive Infrared Motion Detector.
•Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature
range of 32° to 40°C, the detection performance can decrease.
•This Passive Infrared Detector will not operate without the appropriate battery installed, or if the battery is weak or improperly connected (i.e.,
reversed polarity).
•Passive Infrared Detectors, like other electrical devices, are subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as
10 years, the electronic components in it could fail at any time.
We have cited some of the most common reasons that a Passive Infrared Motion Detector can fail to catch intrusion. However, this does not imply that
these are the only reasons, and therefore it is recommended that weekly testing of this type of unit, in conjunction with weekly testing of the entire
alarm system, be performed to ensure that the detectors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners,
property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about these
developments.
