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.
To minimize false alarms, refer to Figure 2 below:
Do not aim at heat sources
Mount on solid, stable surfaces
Do not expose to air drafts
Do not install outdoors
Prevent direct sunlight from
reaching the detector
Keep wiring away from
electrical power cables
2 DE1271- DISCOVERY K9-80 Installation Instructions
Do not install behind partitions
The unit must be installed so that the expected motion of a
intruder would be perpendicular to the zones of detection.
3.2 Mounting without Swivel Bracket
A. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Cover Removal
B. Loosen the vertical adjustment screw, slide the PCB down
and remove it via the “keyhole” (see Figure 4).
Figure 4. PCB Removal
C. Pull the PCB straight out and put it aside until required again.
D. Refer to Figure 5 and punch out the mounting knockouts at
the rear wall of the base (for surface mounting) or mounting
knockouts at the angled sides of the base (for corner
mounting).
Figure 5. Inside View
E. Punch out any one of the wiring knockouts shown in Figure 5.
F. Hold the base against the wall at the selected installation
location and mark the points for drilling.
G. Drill the holes and insert the plastic anchors supplied (if
necessary).
H. Pass the wires through the wiring inlets into the base and
attach the base to the wall using the screws supplied.
I. 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.
J. Proceed to wire the terminal block as instructed in Para. 3.4.
3.3 Mounting with Swivel Bracket
A. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3.
B. Remove the PCB (see Figure 4) and put it temporarily aside.
C. Punch out the large knockout in the round bulge at the top
part of the base (see Figure 6)
Figure 6. Attaching the Bracket
D. Assemble the bracket as shown in Figure 6.
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. Break the selected wiring knockouts in the bracket (Figure 8).
Figure 8. Bracket Base as Viewed from the Rear
G. Press the bracket against the mounting surface and mark the
points for drilling. Drill out the holes and insert plastic dowels.
H. Route the cable through the bracket and into the detector as
shown in Figure 9.
I. Attach the bracket to the mounting surface using the two
screws supplied.
DE1271- DISCOVERY K9-80 Installation Instructions 3
Figure 9. Routing the Cable
J. Swivel the detector horizontally to face the desired direction,
but do not tilt it if this is a pet immune application.
However, if pets are not present it is advisable to tilt the
detector as much as 20° down. Figure 10 shows the tilt/swivel
possibilities.
Figure 10. Tilt/Swivel Limits
K. Having pointed the detector as desired, tighten the bracket
screw strongly, to prevent any further change of position.
Note: Improper use of bracket may reduce the forward
range and affect the dead zone areas.
3.4 Wiring
The terminal block wiring shown in Figure 11 is self explanatory.
Figure 11. Terminal Block Wiring
Note: The E.O.L. terminal is simply a connection point for an
E.O.L. resistor, if the circuit requires one.
For UL or ULC certified installation, the unit must be connected
to a listed Control Unit that provides a minimum of 4 hours of
standby power.
3.5 Setting the Pulse Counter
The location of the pulse count selector is indicated in Figure 5.
Refer to Figure 12 below and mount the jumper as desired.
For proper operation, the pulse count jumper must be installed
across two pins at all times. It should never hang on one pin, or
be completely removed. The factory default setting is 2 pulses.
Figure 12. Pulse Counter Setting Options
3.6 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 13).
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 13. 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.
3.7 Setting the LED Control Jumper
ON Position Setting the jumper as shown will
enable the LED, allowing you to walk test the
detector.
OFF Position: Setting the jumper as shown will
disable the walk-test LED.
Note: The TST terminal may be used while the LED jumper is set
to OFF for remote control of the walk-test LED without removing
the detector's front cover:
Applying +12 VDC to the TST terminal through an external
switch will enable the LED,
Disconnecting the +12 VDC from the TST terminal will disable
the LED.
IMPORTANT! After walk testing, disable the LED to prevent
unauthorized people from tracing the detector’s coverage pattern.
4 DE1271- DISCOVERY K9-80 Installation Instructions
4. WALK TESTING
A. Set the pulse count jumper, set the vertical angle and enable
the LED as instructed in Para. 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, respectively.
B. Remount the cover and fasten the case closure screw.
C. Walk across the detector’s field of view at various distances
from the detector, and verify proper detection throughout the
detector's coverage area (the red LED will illuminate for
several seconds each time your motion is detected).
D. In pet immune applications, continue the test by sending the
house pet into the protected area. Make sure it does not
trigger the detector by moving across the protected area and
by climbing on furniture within that area.
Note: even when 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.
