What can the Property Exit Sensor be used for?
The property exit sensor is used to raise an alarm if a resident leaves their home or if they accidently leave their front door open.
It works by monitoring a combination of the front door being opened/closed and movement in the hallway.
Scenario 1: if the door is opened and closed followed by movement in the hallway it is assumed a visitor has entered or the
resident has answered a call at the door and no alarm is raised.
Scenario 2: if the door is opened and closed followed by no movement in the hallway it is assumed the resident has left their
home and a “door exit” alarm will be raised.
Scenario 3: if the door is opened and left open followed by no movement in the hallway it is assumed the resident has left their
home and a “door exit” alarm will be raised.
Scenario 4: if the door is opened and left open followed by movement in the hallway it is assumed the resident has left their door
open and a “door open” alarm will be raised.
For a visitor to leave without raising an alarm they must first open the door then swipe the PIR down the right hand side with the
magnetic fob then close the door behind them.
The PIR only begins to look for activity AFTER the door is opened - the time period the PIR is active for is
adjustable from 10 seconds to 90 minutes. If the PIR is not activated during this period an alarm call is raised.
Where should the Property Exit Sensor be fitted?
Use the wall mounting bracket provided and fix the PIR approx 2 metres high and approx 1 metre inside the front door.
The PIR should be adjusted to point down the hallway AWAY from the door, see below;
If there are pets in the home the PIR should be mounted at low level (1m) and the PCB should be set to the PET ALLEY position.
The door contact should be fitted on the front door and wired back to the PIR using the cable provided.
Avoid placing items in front of the PIR detector
which may restrict its field of view
Do not expose the PIR detector to wind, air
conditioning or heating
Do not expose the PIR detector to direct sunlight
or powerful lights
Do not drop the PIR detector or expose to high
vibration or shock
Do not expose the PIR detector to rapid variation
in temperature

How to use the Property Exit Sensor
The resident does not need to do anything, all visitors including carers, family or friends need to be aware that the sensor is
installed, and they must follow the procedure below;
1. Enter the home and spend time with the resident as normal.
2. When leaving, first OPEN THE DOOR then SWIPE the PIR detector
down the RIGHT HAND SIDE with the magnetic fob.
3. The PIR will sound a double “BEEP” when swiped correctly, you can
now leave and close the front door behind you.
NOTE: failure to swipe the PIR before leaving will result in a false alarm call.
The magnetic fob can be left hidden in the hallway for all visitors to use or additional fobs are available
separately –order Part No. YW9970
Typical Tools Required
A medium sized Pozi screwdriver is required to fix the PIR and door contacts.

We declare this product complies with the relevant UK
legislation on condition that it is used in the manner
intended, and in accordance with the current installation
standards and/or the manufacturer's recommendations.
A copy of the full UKCA Declaration of Conformity is
available on request.
Pet Alley Mode
To prevent pets causing false
activations the PIR must be
fitted at low level (1m) and
have its internal PCB set to
the PET ALLEY position.
Undo screw and slide the PCB
down into the PET ALLEY position.
When fitted in this mode any
movement below the 1m level
will go un-detected.
Setting the Alarm Delay
Turn the rotary switch to set the delay before alarm. With DIL switch 1 OFF the LED will FLASH GREEN to indicate the number of
minutes delay, with DIL switch 1 ON the LED will FLASH RED to indicate the number of minutes delay x10. Position 0 = test mode.
Testing & Registering a Property Exit Sensor
A “door exit” and “door open” alarm must be transmitted when learning the property exit sensor onto the Reach at-home alarm
or the Altec Response local carer alarm, see pages 4 & 5 for how to put these products into “Learn Mode”.
With the front door CLOSED swipe the PIR down the RIGHT HAND SIDE with the magnetic fob, with each swipe the PIR will
alternate between transmitting “door exit”(code 34) and “door open” (code 58) alarms.
The range of all radio devices can be affected by the working environment - always take care during installation and
perform several test calls.
Maintenance
No routine maintenance is required; however a walk test should be performed once a year to verify operation.
PIR’s are not as susceptible to dust and contamination as some detectors but it is still recommended to clean them periodically.
PIR’s can be dusted or wiped clean with a damp cloth, never use detergents or polish.
Decorating
Never paint the PIR detector itself.
Unlike some detectors, PIR’s are not susceptible to contamination from paint fumes
therefore no special precautions need to be taken.
Battery Life
The PIR battery is checked once a day, if the voltage falls and stays below a pre-set level for 7 consecutive days a low battery alert
is automatically transmitted. Once a low battery call is received the battery should be replaced within 7 days.
Detailed information on battery management for all Tynetec/Aidcall products is available - request Doc No. FM0630.
