Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The TOWER-30AM PG2 and TOWER-30AM K9-40 PG2 (pet-immune) are 2-way, microprocessor-
controlled, wireless digital mirror PIR detectors which include the following features:
For use with all PowerMaster® control panels (version 13 and higher).
Adaptive Active Infra-Red Anti-Masking technology providing the most advanced reliable protection against
intentional masking attempts (patent pending)
Includes a fully supervised PowerG transceiver.
Incorporates patent pending black mirrors for extremely high white light immunity.
Advanced elliptical / parabolic mirror technology (patented)
V-slot® optic technology (patented) for improved robustness, anti-vandalism and for very high
reliability.
Creep zone protection
TOWER-30AM K9-40 PG2 can distinguish between human beings and pets weighing up to 18 kg (40 lb)
The advanced True Motion Recognition™ algorithm (patented) allows distinguishing between the true
motion of an intruder and any other disturbances which may cause false alarms.
Built-in link quality indicators; no need for the installer to physically approach the control panel thus
making installation faster and easier.
No vertical adjustment is needed.
Motion event counter determines whether 1 or 2 consecutive motion events will trigger an alarm.
Automatic termination of walk-test after 15 minutes.
Microprocessor-controlled temperature compensation.
Sealed chamber protects the optical system.
Front and back tamper protection.
Self-test
Note: The pet immunity and creep zone protection were not evaluated by UL.

Figure 2. General Guidelines
Important! The detector is immune to 18 kg (40 lb) animals moving on the floor or climbing on furniture as long as the
activity takes place below 1 m (3 ft). Above the 1 m (3 ft) height limit, the detector is immune to 9 kg (20 lb) pets, but the
pet immunity will decrease as the pet gets closer to the detector. It is therefore recommended to select a mounting location
that minimizes potential close proximity of animals.
WARNING! To comply with FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the PIR detector should be located at a distance of at least 20
cm from all persons during normal operation. The antennas used for this product must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter

3. LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST
NOTE: Run a diagnostic test at least once a year to ensure that the detector is working correctly.
A. Separate the base from the cover (see Fig. 3).
B. Put back the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal (undisturbed) position, and then secure the front cover to the base with the
case closure screw.
C. The TOWER-30AM PG2 will enter a 2 min. stability period. During this time the red LED blinks.
D. Walk-test the coverage area - see Figure 4. Walk across the far end of coverage pattern in both directions; the red LED lights each
time your motion is detected followed by 3 LED blinks.
The following table indicates the received signal strength indication.
LED response Reception
Green LED blinks Strong
Orange LED blinks Good
Red LED blinks Poor
No blinks No communication
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 (in regions requiring UL-compliant
installation, only “strong” signal strength is permitted).
1. For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to the control panel Installer Guide.
2. For UL/CUL installations, the test result must be “Strong”.
4. EVENT INDICATIONS
LED Indications Event
Red LED blinks Stabilization (warm-up 120 sec)
Red LED ON 0.2 sec. Tamper open / close
Red 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
Yellow and red LED blink simultaneously (0.2 sec. ON [both], 0.2 sec. OFF) Self-test failure – Diagnostic mode
Yellow and red LED blink simultaneously slowly (0.2 sec. ON [both], 30 sec. OFF) Self-test failure – Normal mode
5. SPECIAL COMMENTS
Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or may fail to warn due to: DC power failure / improper connection,
malicious masking of the lens, tampering with the optical system, decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures close to that of the
human body and unexpected failure of a component part.
The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to detect intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It is therefore
recommended that the detector and the entire alarm system be checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.
An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be prudent enough
to continue insuring their lives and property, even though they are protected by an alarm system.
