3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Installation Hints
Important! The detector is immune to 36 kg
(80 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
18 kg (40 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.

2 DE3638
To minimize false alarms:
Do not aim at heat sources
Mount on solid, stable surfaces
Do not expose to air draughts
Do not install outdoors
Prevent direct sunlight from
reaching the detector
Keep wiring away from
electrical power cables
Do not install behind partitions
3.2 Battery Insertion
It is recommended to power up the detector and let the target
receiver “learn” the transmitter’s ID before actual installation. This
can be done only after battery installation.
A. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Cover Removal
B. Insert the battery into the battery clip - observe polarity (see
Figure 4).
C. Press the tamper switch once and release it. This will
perform the reset necessary for smooth power up.
D. Put the cover on and observe the LED. It will flash until the
detector stabilizes (within about 30 seconds).
3.3 Enrolling the Transmitter ID
Refer to the target receiver’s installation instructions and follow the
procedure given there for “teaching” the transmitter's ID. It is much
easier to carry out this operation in close proximity to the receiver.
3.4 Mounting without Swivel Bracket
A. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3.
B. Loosen the vertical adjustment screw, slide the PCB down
and remove it via the “keyhole” (see Figure 4).

C. Punch out the mounting knockouts at the base (for surface
mounting) or mounting knockouts at the angled sides of the
base (for corner mounting).
Attention! The unit has a back tamper switch (option) under the PCB.
As long as the PCB is seated firmly within the base, the switch lever
will be pressed against a special break-away base segment that is
loosely connected to the base (Figure 5). Be sure to fasten the
break-away segment to the wall. If the detector unit is forcibly
removed from the wall, this segment will break away from the base,
causing the tamper switch to open. It is advisable to pierce the anti-
tamper knockouts from within the base outward, while pressing
the rear surface of the break-away segment against a piece of
wood.
Figure 5. Anti-Tamper Break-Away Base Segment
D. Hold the base against the wall at the selected location, mark the
drilling points, drill the holes and attach the base to the wall.
E. Return the PCB to its place: align the ”keyhole” with the head
of the vertical adjustment screw, press the PCB against the
base, slide the PCB up and temporarily tighten the screw.
3.5 Mounting with Swivel Bracket
A. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3.
B. Loosen the vertical adjustment screw, slide the PCB down
and remove it via the “keyhole” (see Figure 4).
C. Punch out the large knockout in the round bulge at the top
part of the base (see Figure 6).
D. Assemble the bracket as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Attaching the Bracket
E. Rotate the bracket to the desired position (see Figure 7)
but do not yet tighten the screw fully.

Figure 7. Wall and Ceiling Positions of Bracket
F. Mark the points for drilling through the two mounting holes of
the bracket. Attach the bracket to the mounting surface.
G. Tilt down or swivel the detector to face the desired
direction. Figure 8 shows the tilt/swivel possibilities.
Figure 8. Tilt/Swivel Limits
3.6 Setting the Motion Event Counter
The location of the motion event jumper is shown in Figure 4.
Refer to Figure 9 below and mount the jumper as desired.
Figure 9. Motion Event Counter Setting Options
3.7 Setting the LED Control Jumper
ON Position: Setting the jumper as shown enables
the LED. Remember that the detector disables
itself for 2-minutes after detection!
OFF Position: Setting the jumper as shown
disables the LED.
Note: At power up or reset, the LED flashes for 30 seconds
regardless of the jumper position and then enters walk-test mode.
After 15 minutes the detector enters normal mode in which the LED
functions according to the LED control jumper position.
3.8 Vertical Adjustment
A. Pet-Immune Applications
To maintain maximum coverage range and
pet immunity, the vertical adjustment scale
must be adjusted in accordance with the
actual mounting height (refer to Figure 10).
Loosen the vertical adjustment screw and
slide the printed circuit board up or down until
the pointer shows the actual mounting height on the scale.
When done, re-tighten the screw well.
Figure 10. Vertical Adjustment
B. Pet-Free Locations
To obtain the best coverage possible where no pets are present,
mount the detector with the integral bracket at any desired height
between 1.8 m (6 ft) and 2.4 m (8 ft). Then set the vertical
adjustment scale to the 2.4 m (8 ft) position and tilt the detector
20° down.
3.9 Walk Testing
Upon battery insertion or closing of the cover (which results in
closing of the tamper switch) the detector goes into walk-test mode
and automatically exits the mode after 15 minutes.
A. Set the motion event counter as required (see Paragraph 3.6).
B. Adjust the vertical angle as desired (see Paragraph 3.8).
C. Remount the cover and fasten the case closure screw. This
results in the resetting of the detector and the start of walk-
test mode.
D. Wait until the LED stops flashing (about 30 seconds).
E. Walk-test the entire protected area by walking slowly across the
detector's field of view, observing the LED. Pause for 5 seconds
after each detection to allow the detector to complete its 3-
transmission sequence; the LED will light for about 3 seconds.
F. When the walk-test is completed (after 15 minutes), the
detector's setting automatically changes according to the LED
control jumper setting.
Notes:
1. The OFF setting is recommended to prevent unauthorized
people from tracing the detector’s coverage pattern.
2. If the LED is disabled, you may use the control panel’s
visual and audible indicators to verify proper function of the
detector.
Attention! To assure proper function of the detector, the range
and coverage area should be checked at least twice a year.
Furthermore, the user should be instructed to perform a walk
test at the far end of the coverage pattern to assure an alarm
signal prior to each time the alarm system is armed.
4. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
4.1 Product Limitations
Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to
high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and
limited range (required by FCC and other regulatory authorities),
there are some limitations to be considered:
A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals on or near their
operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.
B. A receiver can only respond to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine
whether there are sources of interference and to protect
against faults.
4.2 Frequency Allocations for Wireless
Devices in European (EU) Countries
•433.92 MHz has no restriction in any EU member state.
•315 MHz is not allowed in any EU member state.
•868.95 MHz (wide band) is allowed in all EU member states.
•869.2625 MHz (narrow band) is not restricted in any EU
member state.

The digital circuit of this device has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential
installations. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
device does cause such interference, which can be verified by
turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
– Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the
one which supplies power to the receiver.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
At 315 MHz the product complies with FCC requirements.
