2. INSTALLATION
2.1. Installation
A. Bracket installation (see Figure 2). Fix the bracket firmly on a stable wall or pillar. The orientation of the fixed bracket must be as parallel as possible
to the surveyed ground surface.
B. Adjust the detector's horizontal and vertical angles (see Figure 3), according to the surveyed ground surface. The vertical angle indicator position
for various installation height and coverage distance combinations is detailed in Table 1 (the information refers to a relatively flat surveyed area.
Verify the correct installation by walk-test).
C. Fasten the detector to the bracket (see Figure 2 step 4).

2.4. Configuring the Detector Parameters
Enter the DEVICE SETTINGS menu and follow the configuration instructions for the TOWER 20 AM PG2 PIR detector as described below.
Option Configuration Instructions
ALARM LED Define whether or not to activate the alarm LED indication.
Optional settings: ON (default) and OFF.
PIR
SENSITIVITY
Define if the detector operates at regular or high PIR sensitivity, or that at least one detection zone must be crossed before an alarm
is triggered (One Region).
Optional settings: LOW (default), HIGH and One Region.
Note: For EN compliance, the detector should be set to "One Region".
DISARM
ACTIVITY
Define whether or not to set the activity time during Disarm mode.
Optional settings: NOT Active (default), YES – no delay, YES + 5s delay, YES + 15s delay, YES + 30s delay, YES + 1m delay, YES +
2m delay, YES + 5m delay, YES + 10m delay, YES + 20m delay and YES+ 60m delay.
OUTDOOR
ANTI-M
Enable or disable the outdoor anti-masking feature.
Optional settings: Disabled (default) and Enabled.
ALARM
Hours
Define whether motion alarms are always enabled or only when dark (at night).
Optional settings: Day and Night (default) and Night only.
2.5. Local Diagnostic Test
A. Set the detector in local diagnostic mode, as follows:
Open the detector’s bottom cover (see "Figure 4 – Battery Insertion" on the previous page, steps 1 - 3) and then press and release the tamper
switch (see "Figure 5. TOWER 20 AM PG2 " on the next page). The LED will flash for 60 seconds and then the detector will enter into 15 minutes'
local diagnostic mode.
Note: Note: The detector automatically enters into 15 minutes' local diagnostic mode after battery installation or Tamper switch recovery.
B. Adjust the detector in the horizontal plane to cover the required protected area.
C. Walk into the detectors’ field of view. Adjust the vertical plane to receive the maximum number of detections when crossing the entire 90°pattern.
Verify that the LED blinks each time your motion is detected, as you cross one Quad PIR. Then verify that the LED lights steadily for 2 seconds as
you cross the next adjacent Quad PIR. After alarm indication, the LED blinks three times and provides the received signal strength indication (see
Table 2).
Table 2 – Received Signal Strength Indication
LED response Reception
Green LED links Strong
Orange LED blinks Good
Red LED blinks Poor
No blinks No communication
D-304046 TOWER-20 PG2 Installation Instructions 4

Important: Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from the detector, re-
locate it and re-test until a "Good" or "Strong" signal strength is received.
Note: For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to the control panel Installer's Guide
The LED blinking, described above, is operative only in Local diagnostic mode. Upon each full detection (LED lights steadily for 2 seconds), the control
panel receives the alarm. If required, perform the detector's horizontal / vertical adjustments (see section 2.1 and Figure 3).
Important: Instruct the user to perform a walk test at least once a week, to verify proper operation of the detector.
D. Place a piece of cardboard on the detector’s front side to deliberately mask the optical window. Verify that after 2 minutes, the yellow LED lights
continuously (see Table 3 below) and the alarm control panel receives the masking alarm.
E. Remove the masking from the detector’s front side. Verify that the LED turns off
Table 3 - LED operation
LED Indications Event
Red LED blinks Stabilization (warm-up 60 sec)
Red LED ON 0.2 sec. Tamper open / close
Red LED blinks twice One quad PIR detection in diagnostic mode
Red LED on 2 sec. Intruder alarm
Yellow LED on AM detection – diagnostic mode
Yellow LED blinks slowly (0.2 sec. ON, 30 sec. OFF) AM detection – Normal mode
Note: After detection, the detector disables itself to save battery power. It reverts to the ready state if there is no subsequent detection throughout the
following 2-minute period.
