D-303372 TOWER-30AM PG2 / TOWER-30AM K9-90 PG2 Installation Instructions 1
1. INTRODUCTION
The TOWER-30AM PG2 and TOWER-30AM K9-90 PG2 (pet-immune) are 2-way, microprocessor-controlled,
wireless digital mirror PIR detectors which include the following features:
lFor use with all PowerMaster® control panels (version 13 and higher).
lAdaptive Active Infra-Red Anti-Masking technology providing the most advanced reliable protection against
intentional masking attempts (patent pending)
lIncludes a fully supervised PowerG transceiver.
lIncorporates patent pending black mirrors for extremely high white light immunity.
lAdvanced elliptical / parabolic mirror technology (patented)
lV-slot® optic technology (patented) for improved robustness, anti-vandalism and for very high reliability.
lCreep zone protection
lTOWER-30AM K9-90 PG2 can distinguish between human beings and pets weighing up to 40 kg (90 lb).
lThe advanced True Motion Recognition™ algorithm (patented) allows distinguishing between the true motion of
an intruder and any other disturbances which may cause false alarms.
lBuilt-in link quality indicators; no need for the installer to physically approach the control panel thus making
installation faster and easier.
lNo vertical adjustment is needed.
lMotion event counter determines whether 1 or 2 consecutive motion events will trigger an alarm.
lAutomatic termination of walk-test after 15 minutes.
lMicroprocessor-controlled temperature compensation.
lSealed chamber protects the optical system.
lFront and back tamper protection.
lSelf-test
Notes:
1. The pet immunity and creep zone protection were not evaluated by UL.
2. For CE installations, the pet immunity was not evaluated by DNV.
3. The pet immunity feature is not evaluated and certified by Applica Test & Certification AS.

2.1. General Guidance (see Fig. 2)
1. Keep away from heat sources.
2. Do not expose to air drafts.
3. Do not install outdoors.
4. Avoid direct sunshine.
5. Keep wiring away from power cables.
6. Do not install behind partitions.
7. Mount on solid stable surface.
lInstalled in accordance with NEC, NFPA 70.
lInstalled in accordance with UL 681, Standard for Installations and
Classifications of burglar and Holdup Alarm Systems.
lInstalled in accordance with C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part
I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations
Figure 2. General Guidelines
Important! The detector is immune to 40 kg (90 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.
Installation Instructions
TOWER-30AM PG2 / TOWER-30AM K9-90 PG2
Wireless PowerG High-security Mirror Detector with Anti-
masking

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.
2.2. Mounting
Notes:
1. Mount the detector so that its orientation is perpendicular to the expected intrusion path.
2. For installations of detector at 2m high, Dead zone is 2ft at 0m high and 0.5ft at 1.5m high.
1. On the indicated location, lift the screw cover upward using your
thumb.
2. Release the screw and open the cover in the direction shown by the
arrow.
3. Insert a screwdriver into the slot and then push inward to separate the base from the cover.
Note: For the desired detector's range and height, use mounting holes
or , as specified in the table.
a – upper surface (without downward tilt)
b – lower surface (with downward tilt)
4. Set the desired detector range.

E. Battery
F. Tamper switch
Caution! THE BACK TAMPER SWITCH WILL NOT PROTECT THE UNIT UNLESS THE BREAK-AWAY BASE SEGMENT IS SECURED TO THE
WALL WITH AT LEAST ONE SCREW.
Caution! RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERY ACCORDING TO
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
Note: Back Tamper must be enabled for UL installations.

Notes:
1. If the detector is already enrolled you can configure the detector parameters via the “Modify Devices” option – see Step 2.
2. Select the "Device Settings" option and refer to "Configuring the Detector Parameters" below to configure the detector parameters.
2.4. Configuring the Detector Parameters
Enter the DEVICE SETTINGS menu and follow the configuration instructions for the TOWER- 30AM PG2 PIR detector as described in the following
table.
Option Configuration Instructions
Alarm LED Define whether or not the alarm LED indication will be activated.
Optional settings: LED ON (default) and LED OFF.
Event Counter Define whether an alarm will be activated upon continued motion (low sensitivity) or upon a single alarm event (high sensitivity).
Optional settings: LOW sensitive (default) and HIGH sensitive.
DISARM
Activity
Define whether or not to set the activity time during disarm.
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.
ANTIMASKING
AM
Define the activity and the sensitivity level of the anti-masking.
Optional settings: LOW sensitive (default), HIGH sensitive and disabled.
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-303372 TOWER-30AM PG2 / TOWER-30AM K9-90 PG2 Installation Instructions 3

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.
