2.0 Installation Considerations
• Never install the detector in an environment that causes an alarm condition in one
technology. Good installations start with the LED OFF when there is no target
motion. It should never be left to operate with the tri-color LED in a constant or
intermittent green, yellow, or red condition.
• Point the unit away from outside traffic (roads/alleys). Remember: Microwave
energy will pass through glass and most common non-metallic construction walls.
Avoid installations where rotating machines (e.g. ceiling fans) are normally in
operation within the coverage pattern.
• Point the unit away from glass exposed to the outdoors and objects that may
change temperature rapidly. Remember: The PIR detector will react to objects
rapidly changing temperature within its field-of-view.
• Eliminate interference from nearby outside sources.
3.0 Mounting
• Select a location likely to intercept an
intruder movingacross the coverage
pattern. The surface should be solid
and vibration free. Mounting height
range is 6 to 8 ft. (1.8 to 2.4 m).
Recommendedmountingheight is
6.5 ft. (2 m).
• Remove the cover. Insert a flathead
screwdriver into the locking tab hole at
the bottom front of the detector. Pull
the cover up and forward.
• Mount the unit with the terminal block
up.
• Remove the circuit board from the
base. Loosen the Vertical Adjust
Screw and slide the circuit board down then out.
• Break away the appropriate thin-wall wire entrance and mounting hole coverings in
the base.
• Using the base as a template, mark the location of the holes on the mounting
surface.
• Route wiring (unpowered) as necessary. Route to the rear of the base and
through the wire entrance.
• Firmly mount the base to the mounting surface. Return the circuit board to the
base and tighten the Vertical Adjust Screw.
4.0 Programming
Program the address DIP switches as described for the control panel you are using.
Note: When installing the D8635T with a D7212B1, D8112, D9112B1, D9412, or
D9112; place switch number “0” in the ON position.
Recommended point type programming =
• D8112 = 6571
• D9112B1/D7212B1 = Point type 2, point response 2, no ring until restored.
• D9412/D9112 = Point type 2, point response E, no ring until restored.
5.0 Wiring
CAUTION: APPLY POWER AFTER ALL CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE/
INSPECTED. DO NOT COIL EXCESS WIRING INSIDE DETECTOR.
Plug the wire entrance hole with the foam plug provided after all wiring
connections have been made.
6.0 LED Operation
The detector uses a tri-color LED to indicate the various alarm and supervision
trouble conditions that may exist. See the chart below.
If the detector experiences a Microwave or PIR self-test failure, it is in need of
replacement.
During walk testing, the LED will light for the first technology (microwave or PIR) and
then light red to indicate a detector alarm. The LED will not indicate activation of the
second technology by lighting its color.
7.0 Feature Selection
•LED On/Off Pins: The ON position
allows operation of the tri-color LED. If
the tri-color LED indication is not
desired after setup and walk tests are
completed, place the plug in the OFF
position. The OFF position does not
prevent the tri-color LED from indicating
a supervision trouble condition.
•PIR Sensitivity Selection Pins: The
PIR response sensitivity may be selected by placing the plug across the pins
marked (STD) for Standard or (INT) for Intermediate mode.
Standard Sensitivity: The recommended setting for maximum false alarm
immunity. Tolerates environmental extremes on this setting.

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.
