Step1. Rough vertical angle adjustment
Page 3/18
1. Measure the installation height.
2. Loosen the fixing screw by allen key.
3. Adjust the vertical position with “Angle Adjustment guide”
according to installation height.
Arrow of the main unit
Installation height at 2.3m(7.6ft.)
Installation height at 4m(13ft.)
If the height is between 2.3m
and 4m, set in the middle.

If the mounting wall is at an angle,
this guide might not apply. In such
case, adjust carefully with walk test.

1. Loosen the side adjustment screw
by Allen key. (Loosen the screw on
the opposite side to where its to be
aimed)
2. Rotate the main unit horizontally
to desired area.
3. Tighten the adjustment screw
slightly.
Remove the cover before
mounting the AVF-1 View Finder
1. Loosen two securing screws.
2. Hold the head of the both screw
with your hand and pull them out.
3. Slide the cover downward and
release the hooks.

Step2. Rough horizontal angle adjustment
Step3. Mounting the AVF-1 (initial)

Page 5/18
1. Put the red string attached to the
View Finder around the main unit so
that it does not accidently fall.
*One of two holes is notched
to accept correct arm of
AVF-1. It will not mount to the
SIP incorrectly, otherwise.
2. Insert and mount AVF-1
to the main unit.
3. Peel off the protection seals
from both sides of the area plate. 4. Insert the area plate into the slot of View Finder so that the arrow points up.
5. Look through the inspection
window of AVF-1 View Finder.
6. Make sure that center circle of
the area plate comes inside
center circle of the lens and the
detection area..
Mounting the AVF-1 (initial)
Confirm the proper
plate is used.
For convenience, the AVF-1 unit
can be rotated.

Step4. Checking the edge of the far area
Step5. Fine angle adjustment
3. Measure the detection distance toward the point.
Adjust the vertical and horizontal angle of the main unit to get the
position that the person is located in the most far detection area.
4. Make a person
stand at the point.
Actual site view View through the AVF-1
1. Adjust the horizontal angle of the main unit in order to effectively cover
the area required to protect, and avoid possible areas of false alarms.
2. Check the center of the farthest detection area.
Rating distance
e.g. SIP-3020 = 30m (100ft.)

Change all sensitivity switch to ”SH”,
and confirm if the position of logic
selector is “OR”.
Step7. Preparation for walk test
2. Confirm that CONNECTION SELECT
SWITCH is at REDWALL-V.
3. MODE SELECT SWITCH is used for
Far, Near and Creep zone detection. 3

Step6. Setting the AWT-3
1. Remove the AVF-1 from the unit, and then
put the plug of AWT-3 into the unit.

Step9. Walk test
1. Conduct walk test to confirm the recent position of the person is
actually in the most far detection area or re-adjust the unit to the area.
Check “FAR”area. Check “NEAR”area. Check “CREEP”zone.
Step8. Confirming the condition in the detection area
2. Check to ensure the tone is
constant (that there is no one in the
detection area).
If not, there might be an object that
could be the cause of a false alarm.
Remove the object or mask it later.
1. Slide POWER SELECT SWITCH to
“POWER SUPPLY FROM SENSOR”
*No detection: low tone
*Detection: High tone
Check “FAR”area
2. Confirm the detection area is set properly, and check ”FAR”area
and “NEAR” area independently.

Step12. Recording the obstacle’s location
Confirm the location of obstacle
and record the mirror segment that
should be masked.
Example:
Obstacle (large plant) is in
segment F6, 1and 2, so the
mirror F6, 1 and 2 should be
masked. Record F6, 1 and 2
for masking.
Step11. Mounting the AVF-1 (for false-alarm avoidance)
AVF-1
AWT-3
Remove the AWT-3 from the unit, and then put the AVF-1 on the
unit again.
Conduct walk test to confirm the location of obstacles and that
there are road, trees, bushes, compressor of air-conditioner which
may cause false alarms.
Step10. Walk test to confirm the obstacle’s location

Page 10/18
Step14. Masking the optics
Because of mirroring effects, the position of the mirror you mask
should be different from that of the detection segment of AVF-1. (What
is seen on the left is physically on the right-side of the mirror. For
example, in Step12, segment F6 should be masked like below.)
1. Remove the AVF-1.
2. Remove the lens window.
(Press the left bottom hole
with your finger, and pull
the window up.)
Step13. Preparation of masking
See
next
page

Page 11/18
b.) Use Masking plates to narrow detection area, from outside inward.
1. Masking plates are equipped
inside the main unit.
2. Take fixing rubbers off and
the plates can be moved.
Fixing rubber
3. Confirm which mirror should
be masked by area chart.
If some object covers the zone
1 and 2, opposite side of mirror
needs to be masked (photo above).
Masking the Far Area Detection
There are 2 options when masking the Far Area detection.
a.) Use Detection range selector switch (except SIP-5030, SIP-100)
When use this switch, all Far area detection is cancelled.
Far area zone
Be careful of mirroring effects.

Page 12/18
4. Attach the masking plate to
the mirror and secure it to ribs. 5. Insert the fixing rubber to secure the knob of the masking plate.
Masking the Near Area Detection
There are 2 options when masking the Near Area detection.
a.) Use Masking plates to narrow detection area
Like far area, take the masking plate out and mask outside detection
area. But you can mask the outside detection area only (the zone 1 and
6 in area chart above). Therefore, use the area masking seal to mask
the other detection area.
Be careful of mirroring effects.

Page 13/18
Masking the Near Area Detection
b.) Use Masking Seals to eliminate specific unwanted segment
Note: This is a permanent countermeasure!
1. Confirm obstacle’s location F6 recorded through Step12.
2. Attach carefully the masking seal to the mirror by using tweezers.

Page 14/18
Step15. Setting the AWT-3 (confirming correct masking)
Put the plug of the AWT-3 on the unit again.
Step16. Conduct walk test to confirm successful masking
Confirm the unwanted segments are properly eliminated.
Check both “Far area” and “Near area” independently.
If the tone doesn’t change
when a person walks
through unwanted
segment(s), the segment
is properly eliminated.
1. Check “FAR”area 2. Check “NEAR”area

Page 15/18
Step17. Setting the Creep zone
Adjust creep zone detector for SIP3020/5, 404/5, 4010/5, 100
and 5030. If the unit is without creep zone, go to “step18.”
1. Loosen the screw and
remove the lid of creep unit.
2. Adjust the detection angle horizontally and vertically.
3. Conduct walk test whether the
detection area has been set as
required. If not, re-adjust it.
4. Put the lid of creep unit back and fasten the screw.
a) Adjust between –90 and 90
degree horizontally b) Adjust between –3 and 3
degree vertically
Find sign to return to at the 0°

Page 16/18
Step18. Switch settings for Sensitivity and Sensor Logic
Do not forget to return the sensitivity switch to “M” and logic
selector to “AND”. (But it depends on application and situation.)
A B (both A and B)
B (or A)
Detection logic selection is
determined when an object is
detected in either of the two
detection areas (OR) or when an
object is detected within the two
detection areas (AND).
•When conducting Walk-test, please set at
“SH”.
•In case that the SIP installed at
2.3m (7.6’)
•Factory default is “M” position. After
confirmation of the detection area, adjust
the proper sensitivity.
•When “M” position is too sensitive, select
“L” position.
•In case that SIP installed at 4m (13ft.),
Sensitivity settings for Far and Near areas
may need to be changed to “H” position.
a.) Sensitivity
b.) Logic
c.) Alarm interval
You can set an interval (4 different
times) to suspend the alarm signal
output. When detection area setting,
this function shall not be used.
OR AND

Page 17/18
Step20. Completing the installation
Remove the AWT-3, put
the cover on the main
unit and fasten the
securing screw.
Step19. Walk testing to reconfirm the detection area
Conduct a walk test to confirm the SIP detects a person in the
detection area.
1. Check “FAR”area. 2. Check “NEAR”area.
3. Check “CREEP”zone.
