LUX–TWR

Two Way Wireless PIR Motion Sensor Installation and Setup Guide

APPLICATION & OVERVIEW

The Smartlink LUX–TWR Wireless PIR Motion Sensor is designed

for use with control/transceivers that accept Smartlink two-way tech-

nology. Lux is intended for use in residential and light commercial

installations and incorporates many advanced features designed to

ensure its reliable performance.

The dual element pyro-electric sensor detects movement within a

specic coverage area by sensing the infrared energy that is emitted

from an intruder moving across the sensor's eld of view. A change in

the infrared energy across multiple detection zones is then processed

to determine if the occurrence qualies as a legitimate motion detection

event. If it does then an alarm signal is transmitted to the controller.

The two-way radio (RF) in the LUX–TWR transmits alarm, tamper,

supervisory, and low battery messages to the control/receiver. Each

sensor has a unique TXID number which is enrolled into the control

during installation. With its two-way capability, the LUX–TWR radio

listens after every transmission for a positive acknowledgment from

the control. This makes the sensor very energy efcient since it

doesn't waste battery power repeating transmissions unless they

are not acknowledged.

Like all battery powered motion detectors, the LUX–TWR has a

mandatory sleep cycle function to help extend the battery life. After

detecting motion, the sensor's radio will transmit the event to the control

and wait for acknowledgment. Upon acknowledgment the sensor will

enter the mandatory sleep cycle. During the sleep cycle time it cannot

transmit additional events. There are two (2) time choices for the

sleep cycle selected via DIP Switch #4. After the sleep cycle expires

the sensor will once again be capable of transmitting a new event.

The LUX–TWR includes the unique Smartlink LUX Security/Conve-

nience LightTM with a bright white LED providing lighting for safety

and convenience.

INSTALLATION

1. OPENING THE HOUSING - Remove the locking

screw along the bottom (if installed). Push in the

retainer tab and lift the front away from the backplate.

2. MOUNTING - To mount directly onto a wall WITHOUT

the swivel bracket, start by inserting the supplied

blanking plug into bracket mounting hole. This is

very important! See Figure 3. Next, locate the 9

dimple marks on the inside of the backplate. Choose

2 (or more) of these for use as the screw mounting

holes. Drill out the necessary holes using 1/8" bit.

To prevent air or contaminants from getting into the

sensor, DO NOT leave any exposed or unused holes!

To mount with the standard Swivel Bracket, start

by attaching the bracket's base to the wall in the

chosen location. Next, t the backplate over the

bracket and install the locking disc with bracket

screw provided. Do not tighten this screw until the

angle and direction have been adjusted as required.

GUIDELINES FOR USE

The LUX–TWR Sensor is for indoor use only. It may

be mounted directly on a wall or in a corner, with or

without the supplied swivel bracket.

It is recommended that the LUX–TWR be located

within 30m of the control/transceiver. While an open-

air range of 100m or more is possible, adverse indoor

and environmental conditions can signicantly reduce

the actual transmission range. Small changes to the

sensor's mounting can often make a big difference in

transmission range.

Always locate the sensor where a person is most likely

to walk across the coverage pattern. Aim the sensor

so that it faces inward toward a solid reference point

such as a wall. Corner mounting often provides the

best detection coverage. See Figure 1.

Choose the location and mounting height carefully.

For optimum performance the recommended mounting

height should be 2.1m ~ 2.4m. The surface must be

solid and free of any noticeable vibrations. As with all

PIR sensors, select a location that avoids direct sunlight,

glass windows, replaces, heating or cooling sources,

and areas of high humidity. Always ensure the sensor

has a clear line of sight of the area to be protected.

Note that infrared energy does not pass through solid

objects, including glass.

DO NOT mount a wireless sensor near metal duct

work or other large metallic surfaces that might shield

or adversely affect the RF signals. Prior to permanent

mounting, we recommended a walk test be performed

with the control/transceiver to verify acceptable opera-

tion of the wireless sensor at its intended location.

Installation in areas where animals can roam is not

recommended unless the sensor is a Smartlink Pet

Aware model.

Windows should be kept closed in any area which has

an armed motion sensor.

PROGRAMMING TO A CONTROLLER

For Two Way Radio programming to your controller

refer to the controller/control panel's manual.

NOTE: The optional Deluxe Swivel Bracket (106-

169) may be purchased separately. The deluxe

bracket provides wall or ceiling mounting with a

wider range of vertical and horizontal adjustment.

Refer to page 4.

BATTERIES

The LUX–TWR holds 2 x CR123A Lithium batteries.

The estimated service life is 5 to 7 years in a typical

residential installation with the Sleep Cycle set to LG

(Long),

Battery #1 (lower) is supervised for low voltage. When

the sensor detects the voltage has reached 2.6 VDC or

less (under load), a Sensor Low Battery trouble will be

transmitted to the control/transceiver. This trouble will

be attached to all future transmissions until fresh new

batteries are installed. Battery #1 is the primary power

source for all critical functions (motion detect and radio

transmission) of the LUX–TWR sensor.

Battery #2 (upper) is not-supervised for low voltage. This

battery is a secondary (reserve) power source for the

LUX–TWR critical functions, but it is the primary (sole)

power source for the White Security/Convenience LED.

The White Security/Convenience LED will not operate

without a good battery installed in Battery #2 location.

We strongly recommend installing a battery in both

locations. These 2 batteries are electrically isolated

in such a way that critical functions of the LUX–TWR

can draw power from either battery, but the White

Convenience LED can only draw power from Battery #2.

To clear a sensor low battery trouble condition, remove

old batteries and WAIT AT LEAST 20 seconds before

installing new batteries. Once the new batteries are

installed, trip the sensor a couple of times. This should

send an "all good" and clear the low battery trouble.

Caution: Excessive use of the White Security/

Convenience LED will reduce the life of Battery #2.

More importantly, because the LUX–TWR sensor is

able to tap into Battery #2 for secondary power, any

reduction of its life naturally reduces the overall

operational life of the sensor. If maximum sensor

operational life is the top priority, the Security/

Convenience LED may be disabled by turning DIP

Switch #3 OFF.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Use only approved 3V Lithium batteries. Replace both

batteries at the same time and with same date code if

possible. Replacements can be obtained from Smartlink

Corporation or distributors.

1. Remove sensor from back housing.

2. Remove both old batteries from sensor.

3. WAIT AT LEAST 20 SECONDS before installing

new batteries.

Note that LUX is supplied with both batteries tted

in reverse for safe transportation.

Note the correct polarity when inserting the batteries.

Installing the batteries in reverse will not harm the

unit but it will not operate correctly

Do not bend or damage the metal battery holder

contacts. Approved 3.0 Lithium Batteries are Ultralife

C&17335, Panasonic CR123A, Duracell DL123A,

Sanyo CR123A,

4. Re-test sensor operation with the control.

BATTERY WARNING: Risk of re, explosion and

burns. Do not attempt to recharge or disassemble.

Do not incinerate or expose to heat above 100°C.

Dispose of used batteries properly. Keep away

from children.

FUNCTIONAL 'SYSTEM' TESTING

A system test should be done by physically walking

across the LUX–TWR coverage pattern while the system

is fully armed. NOTE: Allow time for the Sleep Cycle

Timer to expire before testing. Always notify the Cen-

tral Monitoring Station prior to performing any testing.

WALK TEST

Walk test is a way to verify that the sensor is operating

as desired and in the optimum location. Slow and short

steps should be taken across the coverage zones in

both directions. When motion is detected, the White

LED should blink once followed by a quick blink of the

Green RF ACK LED. The Green LED indicate that the

sensor transmitted an alarm signal an that the control/

transceiver acknowledged that transmission. See

paragraph titled: RF ACKnowledge LED

NOTE: Walk Test mode bypasses the Sleep Cycle timer

allowing the Sec./Convenience LED and the RF ACK

LED to operate regardless of DIP switches 2, 3, and 4.

SENSOR WALK TEST

This is started by opening and closing the sensor

housing to violate the tamper switch. Sensor Walk

Test will end after 10 minutes.

RF ACKnowledge (Green) LED

This LED is located in the clear lens on the sensor front.

It's a bi-Colour LED providing visual status of the two-way

acknowledge (response) from the control/transceiver.

In bright lighting conditions this LED may be difcult

to see. DIP Switch #2 allows the Green LED to be

disabled for all operations except the Walk Test Mode.

GREEN blink = Sensor has successfully transmitted a

violation (alarm) transmission to the transceiver and

that signal has been received and acknowledged by

the transceiver. The green blink is not provided for

a sensor restore transmission..

ORG/RED blink = Sensor was not successful in trans-

mitting after multiple attempts.

DISABLING RF ACKnowledge (Green) LED

DIP Switch #2 allows the RF ACKnowledge (Green)

LED to be disabled for regular operation, helping pre-

vent unauthorized persons from learning the coverage

patterns. It also helps extend battery life. Place DIP

Switch #2 in the "NO" position to disable the RF ACK

LED, or in the "YES" position to enable the RF ACK LED.

NOTES: DIP Switch #2 does not disable this LED from

working in the Walk Test Mode.

6. After enrolling the sensor into the control and setting

the Option Switches, reposition sensor over the

back housing and snap it into place. This action

will activate the Walk Test mode for the next 10

minutes. Perform an immediate Walk Test accord-

ing to the procedure that follows.

7. If the swivel mount bracket was used then it will be

possible to adjust (ne tune) the Sensor coverage.

If the swivel bracket was not used, and the sensor

was xed mounted to the wall, the coverage pattern

is based on the mounting height and position.

8. After Walk Testing has been completed, secure

the sensor to the back housing using the locking

screw provided (small countersunk screw).

PULSE COUNT (Switch 6)

Sensor must detect 1 or 2 events in the

coverage area before an alarm is created.

FUTURE (Switch 1)

Sensor must detect 3 or 4 events in the

coverage area before an alarm is created.

RANGE (Switch 5)

Sensor is set for the shorter detection range

(approximately 12m.)

Sensor is set for the longest detection range

(approximately 15m.)

To extend battery life, a mandatory sleep cycle (2 time

settings) begins after each alarm transmission. After

the Sleep Cycle expires, there must be ~8 seconds of

quiet (no movement) before the sensor will be allowed

to detect and send another radio transmission.

Long (120 secs.) Until this timer expires

the sensor cannot transmit another event.

SECURITY/CONVENIENCE LED (Switch 3)

This switch is not currently used.

Short (30 secs.) Until this timer expires

the sensor cannot transmit another event.

Sec/Convenience LED is NOT ENABLED

except for the Walk Test.

Sec/Convenience LED is ENABLED for

other functions other than Walk Test and

audible alarms. See back page for details.

RF ACK LED (Switch 2)

RF ACK (Green) LED is NOT ENABLED

except during the Walk Test Mode.

RF ACK (Green) LED is ENABLED, and

should blink Green upon a detect and

positive acknowledgment from the control.

SLEEP CYCLE (Switch 4)

5. DIP SWITCH OPTION SETTINGS

Green = Sensor transmitted and received a positive

ACK (acknowledgment) from the Control/

Transceiver.

Org/Red = Sensor attempted to transmit but did not

receive an ACK (acknowledgment) from the

Control/Transceiver.

ANTI-TAMPER SWITCH

This switch detects the separation of the front housing

from the backplate, resulting in a signal being transmitted

to the control/transceiver that will cause the associated

zone to become violated. Snapping the front housing

back onto the backplate will transmit a restoral.

A deluxe 90° swivel bracket may be purchased and

used in lieu of the standard swivel bracket. This bracket

has a short extended arm and allows the sensor to be

aimed at up to a 90° offset from the wall or base. This

bracket also allows the sensor to be drop mounted

from a ceiling.

LIMITATIONS

While the LUX–TWR Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Detector is a highly reliable motion detection device, it does not offer guaranteed protection against

burglary. Any intrusion detection device is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons:

PIR Detectors can only detect movement within a specic coverage area as diagrammed in this manual. To detect movement, the PIR Detector senses the

infrared energy that is emitted from an intruder moving across the sensor's eld of view.

PIR Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They create multiple beams of protection. Intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas

covered by those beams.

PIR Detectors cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, oors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows.

The radio transceiver only provides communications. It does not have anything to do with detecting motion.

The LUX–TWR PIR is not a Life Safety device. The Security/Convenience Light feature is not a substitute for, nor should it ever be utilized as a substitute

for a visual notication appliance.
