-Power cable length
The power cable should be limited to the following length.
Wiring terminal is located on the upper part of the main box.
-When setting the resistance value using PLUG-IN EOL
Three types of signals - ALARM,
TROUBLE, and TAMPER - can be
recognized through the combination
of the resistance value and wires for
the TR, COM, and TP terminals.
-When setting the resistance value without
using PLUG-IN EOL
Wire resistors between the appropriate terminals as follows:
This feature may be used when connecting VXI to a control panel that supports the EOL technique.

By connecting a secondary unit (another warning sensor), you can extend the detection area and correct false alarms.
The secondary unit must have a voltage free N.C. output such as another PIR detector or AIR detector.
<Infrared (AIR) sensors, thermal line (PIR) sensors, magnet switches, etc.>
ANTI-MASKING OFF
When masking condition continues more than 3 minutes, TROUBLE will be generated.
TROUBLE is generated after 20 seconds under the anti-masking test mode.
Teaching mode starts when both the separate box cover and the main unit cover are
attached.
Please be careful not to leave any object within 1 m from the unit.

Using masking seals 2 to 6, you can set a special detection area for the horizontal position A or G.
Masking seal 2
Masking seal 4
Masking seal 6
Masking seal 3
Masking seal 5
Area can be set only at the both sides.
Five patterns of special detection areas can be configured by
applying a masking sticker.
1.5 × 10 m area can be set.
10 × 1.5 m area can be set.
5 × 10 m area can be set.
10 × 5 m area can be set.
Set to the desired area setting direction
(horizontal position A or G).
When setting other than masking
seal 1, cut off the knockout portion
at the lower lens holder.
Select a masking seal from 2 to 6
according to the desired shape of area
setting, and put it on the lens.
