BASIC OPERATION
This unit is a combination passive-infrared sensor and microwave
sensor, both contained in a single package. The unit will go into
alarm when both sensors detect intrusion at the same time. The PIR
section operates by detecting a rapid change in temperature when an
intruder crosses a protected area. When a beam experiences a
change in heat (projected back through the lens), a pulse is gener-
ated by the sensor element. The microwave transmitter sends out
short bursts of RF energy, and the receiver detects changes in the
returned signal caused by motion within its coverage area.
The microwave section is unaffected by visible light, air drafts, or
temperature changes (as from space heaters or air conditioners, for
example), but is sensitive to motion. Strong vibrations can be trouble-
some. Microwave signals may pass through non-metallic walls and
windows. Infrared is virtually unaffected by vibration, and will not
penetrate walls or windows.
Thus the two technologies complement each other, and it is the
combination of the two that provides an inherent immunity to false
alarms. Dual technology is ideal for use in hostile environments.
Since both must trip to cause an alarm, installation is easier and re-
quires less discipline.

DETECTION PATTERNS
Figures 2a & 2b illustrate maximum PIR and microwave detection
patterns superimposed on each other for each model.
STANDARD LENS
The supplied lens will perform best in typical applications, thus it is
factory installed. Following are its specifications.
Number of Zones: 18 zones, 40 beams, plus look down in both C-
102 models.
Maximum Coverage: C-101STLRE11: 11m long x 10.7m wide;
C-101STLRE15: 15m long x 12m wide
Field of View: 80°
Note: (1) Should the lens become heavily soiled, it may be cleaned
using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. To dry, use a soft lint-
free cloth or allow to air dry. (2) If the standard lens does not suit the
application, select another available lens.
INSTALLATION
CHOOSING A SUITABLE LOCATION
The unit may be either wall mounted or corner mounted. Corner
mounting is generally recommended as greater coverage may be
obtained. Select a rigid surface that is relatively free of vibration.
Position the sensor with respect to access doors or windows so
that an intruder will pass across its field of view, not directly toward or
away from it. Avoid areas containing devices that may pose a
chronic problem to either sensor. For the dual-technology feature to
be truly effective in rendering the unit free from false alarms, neither
sensor should detect intrusion under normal conditions. Note: The
unit is shipped from the factory with Jumper J1 in the Alarm position.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
Open the case by inserting a small screwdriver in the slot at the
bottom and pushing up slightly. Remove the front cover.
An array of “push-thru” holes is provided in the rear case to simplify
wall or corner mounting. A round push-thru hole permits cable entry
at the bottom. Cutaway notches in the rear case will accommodate
surface-mounted cables if the outer jacket is removed. After the
proper knockouts have been removed, the rear case may be used as
a template to mark drill holes. Note: Any unused knockout must be
sealed with the caulking material supplied to eliminate drafts and pre-
vent entry by insects. If mounting higher than 3 meters, it may be
necessary to tilt the unit downward slightly for proper microwave cov-
erage, and to reset the Height Scale slightly for proper PIR coverage
WIRING
Complete terminal-strip connections as follows:
Terminals 1 [+] and 2 [-] (POWER) - Apply 12Vdc to Terminals 1
[+] and 2 [-]. The power source may be regulated or unregu-
lated. Power should be supplied from a control center or other
power source equipped with a rechargeable battery backup to
maintain operation in the event of a power failure. Check
SPECIFICATIONS for complete power supply requirements.
Terminals 3 [Common] and 4 [NC] and 5 [NO] (ALARM RE-
LAY CONTACTS) - This is a normally-closed relay with con-
tact ratings of 100mA, 24Vdc. Either detection of an intruder
or loss of power will cause the relay to trip.
Terminal 6 [EOL] (BINDING POST) - The EOL terminal is a non-
connective (not connected to the circuit) binding post used for
binding an EOLR (if used) to one leg of your loop, providing a
clean, secure connection. Connect one end of the resistor to
terminal 4 [NC] and the other can be connected to terminal 6
[EOL] along with the last device in the loop.
Terminal 7 [TST] (TEST INPUT) - Remotely controls the display
of the Walk Test alarm LED. If the TST input remains unused
and unchanged from its factory default setting, the unit will
operate normally (the Walk Test alarm LED will illuminate
when the unit detects motion). To disable the Walk Test
alarm LED, first bring the TST input high and low several
times (to enable the TST terminal), and then bring the terminal
high.
Note: When the TST terminal is enabled (any voltage ap-
plied), the operation of the Walk Test LED is altered as fol-
lows: LED is disabled when the TST terminal is brought high;
enabled when the TST terminal is brought low. If you wish to
reset the TST terminal to its original factory setting, remove
power and re-power the device. Note: Troubles (such as
dome of protection violation or self-test failure) will always
override the Walk Test alarm LED, allowing the LED to oper-
ate regardless of the status of the TST terminal.
Terminals 8 [TR] and 9 [TR] (TROUBLE RELAY) - Terminals 8
& 9 are dry relay contacts that are activated during an anti-
masking or self-test trouble. The trouble polarity jumper, if
installed, configures the relay as NC (and opens on a trouble)
or with the jumper removed, as NO (and closes on a trouble).
Note: The jumper is not installed at the factory (therefore is
NO), and if installed (configured for NC), the sensor will draw
an extra 12mA (approximately).
Terminals 10 [T] and 11 [T] (TAMPER) - Closed with cover in
place.
Self Test
The self-test diagnostic simulates motion and tests the PIR sensor,
amplifier and related circuitry; and the microwave transmitter, re-
ceiver, and associated circuitry. This test is initiated each time the
unit is powered up and randomly at 11- to 16-hour intervals after the
last alarm to assure that the unit is always in operating order. At
power-up, the LED will come on and both the alarm and trouble out-
puts will be held "safe". If the unit is operating properly, the LED will
extinguish after about 1½ minutes. However, if it fails the self test, the
LED will flash rapidly, indicating a need for service. After the LED
goes out, indicating a successful self-test, proceed as follows.
Setting the Height Scale
The Height Scale must be set to obtain the maximum recom-
mended coverage. Remove the front cover. Note that the Height
Scale is printed along the edge of the circuit board in the upper-left
corner (see Fig. 4). The scale calibrations represent sensor mount-
ing height (2-3 meters) for the standard wide-angle lens only. To
set, loosen the Lock Screw shown in the illustration to slide the board
up or down, and align the index embossed into the rear case with the
pointer on the scale representing the mounting height of the unit.
Then tighten the Lock Screw (do not over-tighten!).

Look Down Zone
Coverage sensitivity is extended to the look down zone , located
directly below the unit. To remove the Look Down Zone, simply re-
move the lens from the look down holder. You may wish to remove
the Look Down Lens if there are large pets that may get below the
unit.
Jumper Block
The Jumper Block (see Fig. 6) is used to select operating modes,
as follows:
(S) SENSITIVITY. Install the jumper for high sensitivity or when
using in narrow areas or corridors.
(D) LED DISABLE. Install the jumper if you want to disable the
LED and you also do not
want to use the TST input
terminal during installa-
tion. Note: See Terminal
7 [TST] for TST terminal
operation.
The alarm relay will oper-
ate only with the LED
DISABLE or the ALARM jumper installed. Therefore, after test-
ing, be sure to install the ALARM jumper for normal LED opera-
tion, or the LED DISABLE jumper, which prevents the LED from
lighting on an alarm condition.
Note: Regardless of the position of the LED disable jumper or
the TST status LED, troubles (such as dome of protection viola-
tion or self-test failure) will always be displayed.
Only when the unit is in its normal operating mode does the LED
disable jumper (and the TST terminal) take precedence--they will
work only in normal operation (when there is no other Walk-Test
mode selected).
(P) PIR. PIR Walk-Test Mode. LED indicates PIR trips only.
(A) ALARM. LED indicates simultaneous PIR and Microwave
trips.
(M) MWAVE. Microwave Walk-Test Mode. LED indicates micro-
wave trips only.
(T) TROUBLE MODE SELECT. The jumper is not installed at the
factory, providing a NO open relay at terminals 8 & 9.
Range Adjustment
The microwave RANGE ADJUST control (see Fig. 4) should be
set at the minimum required to achieve the desired coverage. It is set
so that the Walk-Test LED lights when motion is detected at the maxi-
mum desired range, but does not light (motion is not detected) be-
yond the maximum desired range.
All tests must be made with the front cover in place.
1. Remove the front cover and place the LED Jumper (see Fig. 6)
in the M (microwave) position.
2. Set the RANGE CONTROL at mid position and walk test the
unit.
3. If the desired range was insufficient, advance the RANGE CON-
TROL slightly and repeat the test as necessary, increasing the
control each time, until motion is detected at the desired range,
but not beyond. (If the desired range was excessive, reduce the
control slightly and repeat this step). Turn knob clockwise to
increase range.
4. Replace the LED Jumper in the ALARM position.
NOTE: This is the proper setting of the control. Because the
range of the microwave detector is not limited by the confines of
walls, windows or doors, further advancement of the control may re-
sult in detection of motion beyond the desired coverage area.
TESTING THE COVERAGE AREA
After the unit has been mounted and set up, its coverage should be
tested and, if necessary, altered to accommodate local environmental
conditions (within the coverage area). Satisfactory checks may be
made using the Walk-Test LED on the front of the unit. It is recom-
mended that the coverage area be tested at least once a year.
Testing the Unit
Complete connections to the terminal strip (see WIRING). The unit
will require a 1-minute “settling” time to adjust itself to the surrounding
temperature. After sufficient time has been allowed, proceed as fol-
lows.
Test the range of the coverage. Install the PIR Walk-Test jumper
and replace the front cover. Walk out to the maximum determined
coverage distance, then walk across the field of coverage. The LED
will remain lit as long as motion is detected. Repeat this test with the
microwave MWAVE jumper installed. Repeat once again with the
ALARM jumper installed. Confirm that the LED lights at the maxi-
mum desired range, but not beyond.
Zone Masking
A problem zone may be deactivated in order to preserve reliable
system operation by zone masking the lens. Carefully apply a piece
of zone-masking foil (supplied) to the grooved inside surface of the
lens segment representing the problem zone to block signal from the
offending device (refer to Fig. 7).
Fig. 7. Zone-masking
foil (shaded area) applied
to a lens segment to deac-
tivate a problem zone.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
Either the ALARM jumper or the LED DISABLE jumper must be
installed for the alarm relay to operate. In the Alarm position, the LED
will indicate a condition that would cause an alarm if the system were
armed. To extinguish the Walk-Test LED after testing, remove the
LED Jumper and place across the LED Disable terminals. In this
position, the LED is disabled during normal operation, but is enabled
for diagnostic indications.
ADVANCED FEATURES
Dome of Protection (D-O-P)
The Dome of Protection is a short-range protected area (adjustable
by the installer) immediately in front of the sensor that detects a per-
son or object that enters this high-security area. An attempt to dis-
able or vandalize the sensor or to block the lens, whether intentional
(by sprays, paints, etc.) or unintentional (by careless placement of a
skid of boxes that block the sensor, for example) will be detected by
the dome. Violation of the Dome of Protection is displayed as a "1
second on and 1 second off" LED flashing, followed by a trouble out-
put on the trouble line 90 seconds later.
Adjusting the Size of the Dome
The size of the dome is adjustable by means of a separate Range
Control. When jumpers are installed in both the PIR and MWAVE
positions (see Fig. 9), the LED will flash whenever motion is detected
within the dome. Range is adjusted by the D-O-P Range Control
from 0 to about 2 meters. (The
Dome of Protection is disabled
when the D-O-P Range Control
is set fully counterclockwise).
Adjustment of the Dome of
Protection should be made in
accordance with the type of vio-
lation (the size of the object) that
may be encountered, as its
range is greater for larger ob-
jects. That is, to protect against tampering or vandalism, set the DOP
Range Control using your hand to simulate the actions of an intruder.
Or, to guard against blocking by large boxes, skids, etc., temporarily
move a large object in front of the unit and note the distance at which

the LED begins to flash. Set the control for the desired range. To
prevent false Dome-of-Protection trips, adjust the DOP Range Con-
trol for the minimum setting required to detect the violation. Turn the
DOP Range Control knob clockwise to increase the size of the dome.
Note: After adjustment, be sure to return the jumpers to their re-
spective positions as the unit is forced into an alarm condition in the
Dome-of-Protection adjustment mode.
DOP Operation
To understand how the Dome of Protection operates, it must first
be clear that, even though the LED indicates entry into the dome, (a)
violation of the dome does not immediately cause a trouble output;
(b) the Dome of Protection cannot be reset for at least 5 seconds;
and (c) the trouble will be cancelled if the unit detects motion outside
the dome by both technologies (verifying that the unit is operating); if
no motion is detected within 90 seconds, a trouble is output to the
control panel. This trouble may be reset by allowing the unit to detect
motion.
So long as motion is detected within the dome, a trouble will not be
output. The intruder (whether it be the installer, a maintenance man,
etc.) leaving the dome, will be detected by both technologies, cancel-
ing the Dome-of-Protection trouble. If the intruder attempts to tamper
with the unit or to defeat its function, as by masking or blocking the
lens, he will not be detected by both technologies and a trouble will be
output within 1 minutes. Similarly, if a large object (such as a skid of
boxes) is placed in front of the dome, a trouble will be output within 1
minutes.
CAUTION: The Dome of Protection may be used only where there
is no possibility of disturbances in close proximity to the sensor (within
the dome). Beware of such conditions as loose ceiling tiles, which
could violate the dome without resetting it. In an environment such as
this, the Dome of Protection should be disabled by reducing the D-O-
P Range Control fully counterclockwise to "Off/Disabled". For best
security when using DOP, the lookdown feature should be dis-
abled by either removing the small lookdown lens located just
below the PIR sensor element, or blocking the lookdown win-
dow located at the bottom of the front cover.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT wire Dome of Protection relay in series
with alarm loop. Use a separate trouble non-alarm zone.
