The PIR motion detector FBM 100 is equipped with a high-quality housing. However,
please observe the following safety instructions:
•Operate the PIR motion detector only with the provided batteries.
•Handle the PIR motion detector with care, heavy vibration or bumps may
damage the device.
•Do not expose the PIR motion detector to direct sunlight or strong heat,
e.g. heaters.
•Do not install the PIR motion detector directly on iron or aluminium
surfaces, as this may impair the wireless transmission significantly. Use a
non-conducting material to insulate the device from the installation
surface.
•Do not install the PIR motion detector directly on iron or aluminium
surfaces without isolating the foot of the alarm panel from the floor, as this
may impair the wireless transmission significantly.
•Do not install the PIR motion detector in moist, very cold or very hot
environments. Please observe the maximum humidity and temperature
limits (-10 °C to +45 °C (14 °F to 113 °F), maximum 85% relative humidity).
•Persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities and/or lacking experience and/or knowledge must not use this
product.
•Keep children away from the product and other connected electrical
appliances at all times. The PIR motion detector includes small parts they
can swallow. Lay cables expertly so that they are neither bent nor
otherwise damaged. Install the PIR motion detector out of children’s reach.
Do not leave packaging materials unattended, as they may be dangerous
for playing children.
•Use a damp cloth to clean the PIR motion detector’s surface, then dry it.
Cleaning agents will damage the surface.

FBM 100 and contact your retailer or KATHREIN Digital Systems GmbH directly. Any
further usage of the system may lead to fire or electric shock!
Intended Use
The KATHREIN Digital Systems GmbH PIR motion detector is intended to monitor
movements in your rooms by registering any changes in the temperature field. Install
the PIR motion detector indoors only. Any other use than that described in this
manual is not permitted and will void any warranty or guarantee as well as liability
claims. The same applies if the device is modified or retrofitted.
Disposal
Do not dispose of the device with domestic waste!
This product complies with the EU Directive on waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) and therefore must not be disposed of
with domestic waste. Dispose of the device via your local collection
point for waste electronic equipment!

PIR Motion Detector FBM 100
Product description:
The PIR motion detector reliably alerts you to any movements in your rooms. Simply
install the PIR motion detector at the location you want to monitor. The PIR motion
detector works by means of passive infrared monitoring.
Sensor data:
Dimensions (without mount): 4.2 x 6.4 x 9.4 cm (1.6 x 2.5 x 3.7 in)
Weight: 80 g (0.17 lbs)
Place of installation: Only indoors (walls, corners)
Operating temperatures: -10 °C to +45 °C (14 °F to 113 °F)
Humidity: Maximum 85% (non-condensing)
Radio frequency: 868.35 MHz
Detection method: Thermal field measurement up to 12 m (13 yd)
1. LED + Learn button
2. PIR sensor
3. Battery insulation tab (delivery status)
4. Tamper contact
5. Corner mount
6. Battery compartment
LED indicator:
Normally, the LED indicator does not flash. Please be aware of the following
exceptions:
•If the battery runs low, the LED will flash for two seconds after a movement
was detected.
•If a tamper contact of the PIR motion detector is triggered (tamper
protection), the LED will flash for two seconds while transmitting the alarm
signal.
•If you press the test button for approx. 5 seconds, the PIR motion detector
will enter the test mode for 3 minutes. During this time, the LED will flash
every time a motion is detected. Use the test mode to adjust the PIR
motion detector suit to your individual security requirements.

Battery:
•The PIR motion detector requires a 3 V CR123 lithium battery. This battery
will last approx. 2.5 years at an average of 20 detected motions per day.
•When the battery runs low, the PIR motion detector will transmit a
notification to the alarm panel.
Connecting the PIR motion detector and putting it into operation
1. Remove the battery insulation tab at the back of the unit before the first use.
2. The PIR motion detector will now enter a boot process. This takes approx. 30
seconds and the LED will flash during this time. Please do not trigger the
motion detection during this period – every detected motion during the boot
process will result in an extension of the required time.
3. Open the web interface of the alarm panel and go to the menu “Sensors” 
“Add” and press “Start”.
4. Press the Learn button of the PIR motion detector.
5. As soon as the alarm panel has found the sensor, it is listed in the lower menu
and you hear a brief signal tone from the alarm panel.
6. Click on “Add” to add the PIR motion detector to the sensor list.
Range test:
To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.
1. Open the alarm panel menu “Sensors” “Range” and press “Start”.
2. Press the Learn button of the PIR motion detector.
3. The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the
indicated number the better the reception (1–9).
4. Click “Stop” to end the test.
Please note:
If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or
frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we
recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.
Installation:
•There are five holes at the back of the PIR motion detector (three slots, two
small holes) – these are used to install the corner mount.
•Use the supplied screws to fasten the corner mount bracket to the wall.
Then attach the PIR motion detector to the corner mount bracket.
•For direct wall mounting: Use the supplied screws to pierce through the
indentations, then screw the unit to the wall.

8
•The horizontal angle of the PIR motion detector is 110°.
•The PIR motion detector will detect motions in a range up to 12 meters (13
yd) if it is installed at a height of 2 meters (2.2 yd).
•To ensure the optimal function of the PIR motion detector, make sure that
the PIR motion detector is installed at a height of 1.8–2 meters (2–2.2 yd)
and that the Learn button is pointing upwards.
Warm-up and rest mode:
Every time the alarm panel is armed or switched to home mode, the PIR motion
detector enters a warm-up phase of approx. one minute. During this time, detected
motions will not trigger an alarm. However, detected motions will increase the warm-
up phase by an additional minute – make sure not to trigger the PIR motion detector
during the warm-up phase in order to minimise the duration of the warm-up.
In order to save battery power, the PIR motion detector enters a rest mode after every
detected motion (irrespective of the mode of the alarm panel). The rest mode takes
approx. one minute and every registered motion during the rest mode will extend its
duration.
•Do not install the PIR motion detector in the detection range
of another sensor (e.g. an additional motion detector with a
light in front of your door).
•Do not expose the PIR motion detector to direct sunlight.
•The PIR motion detector registers movements in the
temperature field. Thus, it can also be triggered by the
movements of air currents. Make sure not to install the PIR
motion detector in areas where air currents with different
temperatures may cause
movements (e.g. above
radiators/stoves/furnaces, heated floors, air conditioning,
staircases, or behind windows).
