Introduction
These Quad Element Passive Infra-Red (PIR) Movement Detectors are designed for use with standard wired alarm
system. PIR detectors are designed to detect movement in a protected area by detecting changes in infra-red
radiation levels caused for example when a person moves within or across the detectors field of vision If movement
is detected, the signal contacts ”open” and an alarm signal is generated at Control Panel (if the system is armed).
Mounting Location
The PIR is designed for indoor use. It should not be mounted near to large
metal objects or on metal surfaces. It needs to be mounted on a wall or in a
corner at a height of approximately 2-2.5meters for the best general
coverage in an average room. The detector has been designed to avoid
false alarms, nevertheless, it is best to avoid looking directly at sources of
heat such as fires and boilers, and always try to keep away from a window.
A PIR can look at a radiator but should not be sited above one.
Do not site a PIR where its field of view may be obstructed (e.g. by curtains). Also note that PIRs work best when sensing
movement across rather than along their detection beams. You need to consider the need to wire these units back to the Control
Unit.

Mounting the detector
1. Remove and retain the screw from the bottom of the PIR and lift off the cover.
2. Carefully remove the electronic module from its retaining clips, ensuring not to touch the pyroelectric sensor
(Illustration 1).
3. Use mounting points “A”, if you are fitting the detector in a corner. Use mounting points “B”, if you are fitting the detector
on a flat surface. Use a small drill to create two fixing holes at the mounting points (Illustration 2).
4. Hold the base of the PIR in the chosen position, ensuring that the front of the PIR will face
towards the center of the protected area, mark and drill two fixing holes in the wall.
Choose one of the cable entry holes “C” and make a third hole in the detector base. Put one end of the wire through this
hole “C”, then secure the PIR to the wall.
5. Replace the electronic module into the retaining clips, ensuring that it is correctly positioned and firmly seated.
6. If required, select the PIR LED “ON” or “OFF” option and the sensitivity (pulse count) by setting the corresponding
jumpers on the electronic module. Note that Pulse 1 option is more sensitive than the pulse 4 option. Pulse 1 option is used
when it is necessary to activate an alarm on the first detected pulse, or in high security installations – where fast “catch”
performance is of greatest importance. Pulse 2 or 4 settings provides improved protection against false alarms caused by all
types of environmental disturbances. (Illustration 3)

7. Connect the wires in accordance with the terminal block connections.
–12V+ Connect to a regulated D.C. power source, observing correct polarity.
TAMP Connect to a Tamper or 24 Hr. zone, NC in the control panel. Note these are normally closed switch contacts
which open when the tamper opens.
ZONE Connect to an Alarm zone, NC in the control panel. Note these are normally closed relay contacts which
open when the detector alarms.

Walk Testing
A. Apply power and allow 3 minutes for warming up and stabilizing.
B. Adjust the vertical pattern angle per Fig.1 below.
C. Walk slowly across the field of view (in opposite directions) and observe the LED – it lights whenever you enter or exit a
sensitive beam. Allow 5 seconds between each test for the unit to stabilize.
D. After testing, the LED can be disabled to prevent unauthorized tracing of the coverage pattern. To disable the LED,
remove the jumper from the left and middle pins of the LED selector (ON) and place it across the middle and right pins
(OFF).
