Intermediate Sensitivity: The recommended setting fornon-pet applications where
an intruder is expected to cover only a small portion of the protected area.
Tolerates normal environments on this setting. This setting will improve your
intruder catch performance. (Recommended for higher mounting heights).
8.0 Setup and Walk Tests
Select the vertical starting angle from the chart. To adjust the
vertical starting angle for the desired mounting height and
range, loosen the vertical adjust screw and slide the board up,
to point the angle down. Note the settings on the vertical
adjust scale.
Note: A mounting height of 6 1/2 feet and the proper
vertical angle must be selected for installations
containing pets. See Section 12.0.
• Place the LED plug in the ON position.
•Wait at least two minutes, after applying power, to start walk tests.
Note: During the warm-up period, the tri-color LED will flash red until the unit has
stabilized and has seen no movement for two seconds (approx. 1 to 2
minutes). When the LED stops flashing, the detector is ready to be tested.
With no motion in the protection area, the LED should be OFF. If the LED is
on, re-check the protection area for disturbances affecting the microwave
(yellow) or PIR (green) technologies.
Establishing PIR Pattern Coverage
• Turn the Microwave range adjust to minimum and replace the cover.
• Walk test across the pattern at its farthest edge, then several times closer to the
detector. Start walking from outside of the intended protection area, and observe
the tri-color LED. The edge of the pattern is determined by the first green, PIR
activation of the LED (or the first red activation if the yellow microwave LED
activates first).
• Walk test from the opposite direction to determine both boundaries. The center of
the pattern should be pointed toward the center of the intended protection area.
• Slowly bring your arm up and into the pattern to mark the lower boundary on PIR
alarm. Perform this task at 10 to 20 ft. (3.1 to 6.1 m) from the unit. Repeat from
above for the upper boundary. The center of the pattern should not be tilted
upward.
If desired coverage can not be achieved, try angling the coverage pattern up or
down to assure the pattern is not aimed too high or low. For pet applications, do
not adjust below recommended angle.The angle of the PIR pattern may be
vertically positioned between -10° and +2° by loosening the Vertical Adjust
screw and sliding the circuit board up or down. Moving the board up will
angle the pattern downward. Tighten the screw snug when positioning is
completed.
Note: The pattern may be moved ±10° horizontally by moving the lens
window left/right.
Establishing Microwave Coverage
Note: It is important to wait 1 minute after removing/replacing the cover so the
microwave portion of the detector can settle, and to wait at least 10 seconds
between the following walk testing procedures.
• The tri-color LED should be OFF before walk testing.
• Walk test across the pattern at the intended coverage’s farthest end. Start
walking from outside the intended protection area and observe the tri-color LED.
The edge of the microwave pattern is determined by the first yellow, microwave
activation of the LED (or the first red activation if the green PIR LED activates
first).
• If adequate range can not be reached, increase the Microwave Range Adjust
slightly. Continue walk testing (waiting 1 minute after removing/replacing the
cover) and adjusting the range until the farthest edge of desired coverage has
been accurately placed.
Do not adjust the microwave range higher than required. Doing so will
enable the detector to catch movement outside of the intended coverage
pattern.
• Walk test the unit from all directions to determine all the detection pattern
boundaries.
Establishing Detector Coverage
• The tri-color LED should be OFF before walk testing.
• Walk test the unit from all directions to determine the detection boundaries. A
detector alarm is signaled by the first red activation of the tri-color LED after an
initial green or yellow activation.
9.0 Supervision Features
The supervision features function as follows:
•PIR/Microwave: The complete circuit operation of these subsystems is tested
approximately every 6 hours. If the PIR or microwave subsystem fails, a second
test is performed after one hour. If the PIR or microwave subsystem fails the
second test, the tri-color LED will flash red 4 times per cycle and the unit should be
replaced.
•Default: The detector will default to PIR technology protection if the microwave
subsystem fails. When defaulting to PIR, the PIR signal processing will change
from INT to STD sensitivity.
10.0 Other Information
Maintenance: At least once a year, the range and coverage should be verified. To
ensure continual daily operation, the end user should be instructed to walk through
the far end of the coverage pattern. This ensures an alarm output prior to arming the
system.
Pattern Masking: The PIR coverage pattern may be masked using masking tape or
electrical tape on the inside of the lens.
Note: Masking only eliminates the PIR portion of the coverage and has no effect on
themicrowavepattern.
11.0 Coverage Pattern
The protected coverage area is where the microwave and PIR patterns overlap.
An optional Look Down lens is located under the detector. This lens must be
unmasked before it is operational. The Look Down lens is not recommended for
installations containing pets or small animals. The Look Down finger is shown in
black below.
12.0 Special Instructions for Installations Containing Pets
The D8635T will provide reasonable protection from nuisance alarms caused by the
followingsources:
• A dog up to 100 pounds (45 kg) • Up to 10 cats
• Two 60 pound (27 kg) dogs • Random flying birds
• Multiple small rodents, such as rats
To take full advantage of the D8635T’s Signature
Recognition Technology, the following guidelines
should be followed:
• Mount the detector 6-1/2 ft. (2 m) high and adjust the PIR angle to
-5°.
•Set the PIR sensitivity for Standard (STD).
• Mount where the animals can not come within 6
ft. (1.8 m) of the detector by climbing on furniture,
boxes or other objects.
• Do not remove the Look Down lens mask.
• Don’t aim the detector at stairways the animals can climb on.
• Adjust the microwave range for the minimum acceptable coverage for the room in
which the detector is installed.
Note: Pet avoidance is only available when using the lens provided with the
detector.
