The MCPIR-2000 is an advanced, fully supervised ultra low-current wireless
PIR that incorporates a PowerCode transmitter. Both transmitter and detector
circuits are powered by an on-board, long life 3.6 V Lithium battery.
Each MCPIR-2000 unit has a 24-bit ID code, randomly selected in the factory
from over 16 million possible combinations. This code is therefore unique and
virtually impossible to reproduce. Compatible PowerCode receivers are
designed to "learn" specific IDs and respond only to them.
Following detection, the MCPIR-2000 triggers the on-board transmitter which
transmits its specific PowerCode ID followed by an Alarm signal and status
designators for Tampering and Battery Condition. Alarm and other data are
thus forwarded to the alarm control panel or to a head-end computer,
depending on the type of system in which the detector is used.
Since messages transmitted by the MCPIR-2000 might collide with messages
transmitted by other PowerCode transmitters, a "smart" anti- collision
transmission sequence is used.
A periodic supervision message, distinguished by a specific marker, is
transmitted automatically once in 60 min. (USA) or 15 min. (Europe) or
according to local standards. The receiver is thus informed, that the particular
detector is taking an active part in the wireless network.
After triggering the transmitter, the MCPIR-2000 disarms itself to save battery
power. The detector rearms itself automatically (reverts to the ready state) 2
minutes after the last movement has been detected. A LED/ WALK-TEST
selector is used to override the 2-minute rearm timer during walk testing.
A programmable pulse counter is included in the unit for maximum immunity
against false alarms.
An entire library of interchangeable lenses, 25°vertical and 30°horizontal
adjustment, surface, corner or flush mounting installation from 0 to 17 feet
height, all these features enhance the detector's versatility of application and
make it a worthwhile unit to standardize on.

The MCPIR-2000 can be mounted directly onto the wall (surface
mounted), or in a corner.
A. Select the mounting location so that an intruder's motion will
cross the beams of the selected pattern.
B. Determine the convenient mounting height.
NOTE: The vertical calibration scale on the detector's printed
circuit board is factory preset at -5 ° (see Table 1 for scale
application).
C. Where a single-layer pattern has been selected for pet
avoidance, install the detector as low as possible, usually 1.2 -
1.5 m (4 - 4.5 ft) while still allowing the beams to be directed
above the level of the pet’s activity.
D. To minimize false alarms, avoid aiming the detector at heaters,
sources of bright light, or windows subjected to direct sunlight.
E. Always mount the unit on a firm and stable surface.

Horizontal Adjustment
The coverage pattern can be adjusted horizontally ±15°by
shifting the lens to the left or right. To adjust the lens, remove the
lens retainers (see Para. 3.2), shift the lens carefully to the
desired position and re-insert the lens retainers into their places.
Vertical Adjusting Scale
The vertical scale adjustment (printed on the left side of the p.c.
board) and the plastic pointer on the base indicate (in degrees)
the vertical angle between the upper layer of the coverage
pattern and the horizontal line of the unit.
Table 1 gives the recommended scale adjustment of mounting
heights and coverage distances. The scale enables pattern
adjustment from +10°  to -15°, according to the installation height
and the required coverage range. Do not exceed the maximum
range of the selected lens, as indicated in the lens library catalog.
Table 1. Vertical Adjusting Scale

DE3600 3
To change the vertical-pattern adjustment, loosen the screw to slide
the PC board to the desired angle and then tighten the screw firmly.
Beam Masking Material
A special beam-masking material supplied with each detector can
be used to mask individual segments in the lens array which are
exposed to potential sources of false alarms (heaters, blowers,
pets, etc). The material is transparent to visible light but blocks
any infrared energy. To block individual beam(s), cut the masking
material to the exact dimensions of the segment(s) to be blocked,
remove the backing paper and apply the mask accurately to the
inside (smooth) surface of the lens on these segment(s).
In some cases, more than one layer may be required to
completely block the infrared energy.

MCPIR-2000 detectors are equipped with a programmable pulse
counter which can be set to count 1, 3 or 5 pulses, before
activating the wireless transmitter. To set the pulse counter, place
the jumper at the desired setting (1, 3 or 5 - see Fig. 8).
Figure 8. Setting the Pulse Counter
Note: Three pulses may be selected for all applications where
wide-angle, multi-beam lenses are used, such as illustrated in
Sections 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 of the SUPER RED lens library.
Three pulses should never be used with lens No. 53 or with
long-range lenses from Sections 4 & 5 of the Lens Library.

IMPORTANT! The range and the coverage area of the unit
should be checked at least once a year. To assure proper
continuous functioning, the end user should be instructed to
perform a walk test at the far end of the coverage pattern prior
to each time the alarm system is armed.
To save battery power in normal use, an automatic timer inhibits
the detector for approximately 2 minutes after transmitter
activation. The detector is automatically rearmed 2 minutes after
detection of the last motion.
For effective walk testing , it is necessary to override
the 2 minute timer by setting the LED/WALK-TEST
jumper to the TEST position as shown to the right.
Note: If the LED/walk-test jumper is forgotten in TST
position, the detector returns to ON position after
approximately 30 minutes, to save battery power.
IMPORTANT! Once the cover is replaced, the detector goes
through a stabilization period. The LED will flash once per 2
seconds until the detector has stabilized (stabilization time
is at least 15 seconds).
A. 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 test to allow the unit to complete its 3-
transmission sequence (see Para. A-2 in Appendix A). the
LED will light for 2 seconds.
B. Set the LED/WALK-TEST jumper to the ON position
as shown to the right. ⇐
Wait outside the coverage area. After five minutes,
re-enter the coverage area and verify that the LED
lights for 2 seconds upon detection.
C. If you continue moving, the unit will remain disabled due to the
2-minute battery saving timer. The unit will be rearmed
provided that no motion is detected for approximately 2
minutes, and will then be ready to detect and transmit.
D. When done, set the LED/WALK-TEST jumper to the
OFF position as shown to the right. ⇐
This setting is recommended to prevent unauthorized
people from tracing the detector’s coverage pattern.

A. Swivel Brackets
The BR-1 is a swivel, surface-mount bracket which provides
greater flexibility when setting the desired detection range. The
BR-1 is adjustable 30°downward and 45°left or right (Fig. 9).
The BR-2 is a similar swivel bracket kit for room corners.
The BR-3 is a similar swivel bracket kit for ceilings installations.
ATTENTION: With optional swivel brackets in use, the effective
detection range may differ from that indicated in Table 1.

B Flush Mount Bracket
(Fig. 10)
If necessary, the MCPIR-2000
may be flush mounted, using the
optional flush-mount bracket
SRF-201.
C. Mobile Stand ( Fig. 11)
A special stand, the SRS-202,
enables you to place the MCPIR-
2000 detector temporarily on
horizontal surfaces such as
shelves, tables, etc. This
accessory is especially suitable
for portable applications, where
the detector’s location should be
changed frequently.
Although designed mainly for
portable use, The SRS-202 can
be fixed permanently to a
horizontal surface, using the two
screw holes at its bottom. It can
also be fixed to a vertical
surface, provided that a very
strong adhesive is used.

Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are reliable and are tested to high
standards. However, due to the low transmitting power (required
by the FCC and other regulatory authorities), there are some
limitations to be considered:
A. A receiver may be blocked by radio signals sent on or near its
operating frequency, regardless of the digital code used.
B. A receiver responds to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly (at least once
a week) to discover sources of interference and to protect
against faults.

The PowerCode message transmitted by the MCPIR-2000
includes the detector's 24-bit ID and a status report (see Fig. A1).
Figure A1. Transmitted Data
A message includes the following data:
Detector's ID: Any message transmitted starts with the 24-
bit ID assigned to the particular detector unit.
Tamper / Restore: Upon removal of the unit's front cover, a
message will be transmitted with a "tamper marker" ON. If
the unit's cover is put back, a message will be transmitted
with the tamper marker OFF ("Tamper Restore").
Alarm: Once the detector is in alarm, a message will be
transmitted with an "Alarm marker" ON.
Low Battery: A special battery condition marker is used to
report the battery status in any message. The battery is
tested once an hour and if found low, the "low battery
marker" is set to ON in all following messages. 
Supervision Message: A special "supervision message
marker", when set to ON, identifies the periodic supervision 
messages transmitted automatically at 1 hour intervals. This
marker will be OFF in all other messages.
Transmitter Type: A special marker indicates the type of
the transmitter:
Supervised or non-supervised
Reports or does not report restorals after alarm
The MCPIR-2000 is supervised and does not report
restorals after alarms.
Checksum: Checksum bits at the end of the message allow
the receiver to determine whether an incoming message is
valid (error-free). This feature considerably upgrades the
reliability of the wireless communication link.

To overcome message collisions at the receiving end,
PowerCode transmitters transmit 3 data bursts at random
intervals, with 6 repetitions of the same message in each burst
(Fig. A2). This redundancy improves the probability of reception.
Note: Periodic supervision messages are an exception to this
rule - they consist of a single 6-message burst.
