Introduct on
PIR Detectors are designed to detect movement in a
protected area by detecting changes in in ra-red radiation
levels caused, or example, when a person moves within
or across the devices ield o vision. I movement is
detected an alarm signal will be triggered, (i the system
and alarm zone is armed).
Note: PIR Detectors will also detect animals, so ensure that
pets are not in areas itted with PIR Detectors when the
system is armed.
Any number o PIR Detectors can be used with your
system providing they are all coded with the system house
code, and are mounted within e ective radio range.
The PIR Detector is powered by a PP3 alkaline battery.
Under normal operating conditions this will provide an
expected li e in excess o 1 year. When the battery level
becomes low the PIR Detector will lash a red LED behind
the lens. When this occurs the battery should be replaced
as soon as possible.
Choos ng a Pos t on for the
PIR Detector
The recommended position or a PIR Detector is in the
corner o a room mounted at a height o between 2 and
2.5m. At this height, the PIR Detector will have a maximum
range o up to 12m with a ield o view o 110°.
The position o the PCB inside the PIR can be set to 5
di erent positions to adjust the range o the PIR Detector.
Setting the PCB in position 3 will reduce the range to 9m
approximately, with position 1 providing a range o 6m
approximately. The recommended position setting or the
PCB is in position 5.
Note: The range as indicated above re ers to the linear
distance in ront o the PIR Detector.
When deciding upon the mounting position or the PIR
Detector the ollowing points should be considered to
ensure trouble ree operation:
1. Do not position the PIR Detector acing a window or
where it is exposed to or acing direct sunlight. PIR
Detectors are not suitable or use in conservatories or
or external use.
2. Do not position the PIR Detector where it is exposed
to draughts.
3. Do not position the PIR Detector directly above a heat
source, (e.g. ire, radiator, boiler, etc).
4. Where possible, mount the PIR Detector in the corner o
the room so that the logical path o an intruder would
cut across the an detection pattern. PIR Detectors
respond more e ectively to movement across the
device than to movement directly towards it.
5. Do not locate the PIR Detector in a position where it is
subject to excessive vibration.
6. Ensure that the position selected or the PIR Detector
is within e ective range o the System.
Note: When the system is armed, pets should not be
allowed into an area protected by a PIR Detector as their
movement will trigger the PIR and generate an alarm.
Note: DO NOT ix the
PIR Detector
to metalwork or locate
the unit within 1m o metalwork (i.e. radiators, water pipes,
etc) as this could a ect the radio range o the device.
