Technical Specifications

Installation Steps
1. Loosen the tamper screw found at the bottom of the unit
2. Separate the back cover from the unit by sliding the back of the unit down and off
3. Drill or punch out the appropriate knock-out holes for either a wall or corner installation, refer to the
installation legend above
4. Make sure to allow for 20 mm / 0.78 in of space between the top of the unit and a ceiling or object found above it
5. Mark your selected location using the back cover of the unit as a template
6. Drill holes into the wall surface
7. Thread the wires through the wire entry hole. To connect the Digiplex bus, attach the red, black, green and
yellows to their respective locations
8. Secure the back cover of the unit to the wall surface using mounting screws appropriate for
the specific installation
9. Slide the front section of the unit into place on the back cover of the unit. If the wires are connected to
electricity, then the power up sequence will automatically start
10. Ensure that the outer rim of the unit is tightly joined, so that waterproof casing is not compromised
11. While the tamper screw at the bottom of the unit is open, begin the power up process and access the menus
to change any sensitivity or other settings, then save the altered settings
12. Tightly close the tamper screw found at the bottom of unit and put the detector into operation mode

Installation Do’s & Don’ts
Do
• Do ensure that the unit’s detection beams are
perpendicular to the anticipated movement
• Keep a minimum distance between adjoining
NVX80 detectors to prevent MW cross interference,
see the beam pattern diagram (see page 4)
• Do place the unit under a roof, or awning or use our
all-weather cover, during an outdoor installation
• Do install the detector within the suggested range:
installing the unit lower than 2.5 m / 8 ft 2 in may
compromise the Pet Immunity capability, installing
over 3.0 m / 9 ft 8 in may require use of our swivel
bracket adjusted downward shifting the Pet
Immunity beam and neutralizing the creep zone.
Installing the unit over 3.0 m / 10 ft does not affect
the creep zone.
Don’t
• Don’t direct the unit’s beams into swaying
trees or bushes
• Don’t place the detector facing direct sunlight or
near a heat source, as it might interfere with the
Active IR anti-mask feature
• Don’t place any objects, such as shelves, ledges or
plants, below the unit
• Don’t place any reflective objects within 2 m /
6 ft 6 in of the unit, as this may interfere with the
MW anti-mask capabilities
NVX80 Version 1.02 7
In order to maximize detection efficiency, choose a
location that is most likely to intercept intruders moving
across the coverage area at a 45 degree angle.

Mounting Considerations
The optimal installation height for the NVX80 is
2.5 m to 3.0 m (8 ft 2 in to 10 ft).
2.5 m - 3.0 m
(8'2'' - 10')
Avoid installing the detector near moving objects
(e.g., swaying trees, bushes, etc.).
whether
If the installation site is near heavy traffic or objects
beyond the required detection range, adjust the MW
sensitivity and/or tilt the detector down.

Connecting to the Bus
Connecting to the Digiplex bus is quite straight forward. The red, black, green and yellow wires must be
placed into the red, black, green and yellow slots, respectively.

Menu-Driven Settings and Configuration
The NVX80 introduces a unique 4-button interface and full-color OLED display screen. The NVX80 is completely menu-
driven, making programming and configuration simple. There are no jumpers, trimmers or complex wiring to contend with.
The OLED screen displays a variety of icons which indicate the current state of the detector. Alarm, pre-alarm,
and anti-mask events as well as notifications are displayed on the OLED. The menus provide direct control of the
detector’s operation, the sensitivity level settings, display characteristics and more.
To protect against malicious activity, the NVX80’s menus and button interface are active only when the tamper
screw at the bottom of the unit is open. The menus and button interface become functional only after a tamper
event is issued.
Installation specific settings can be saved and restored if altered. Settings can also be reset to factory defaults, all
with the push of a button.
The following items are included in the NVX80 main menu: PIR, Microwave, Anti-Mask, Alarm Condition, Input,
Output, Diagnostics, Settings, About and Language. Via the menu these features can be activated, sensitivities set
and tested, input and outputs can be defined and product information can be viewed.
