Wireless Digital Pet Immune PIR Detector

Installation Instructions

The MP-840 (pet immune) is a microprocessor-controlled wireless digital PIR detector supported by H.A 1.2
panels using ZigBee Home Automation.
The detector’s features are as follows:
Fresnel and cylindrical lenses with uniform detection sensitivity throughout its operating range, up to 12
meters (39 ft).
Target Specific Imaging™ (TSI) technology is used for distinction between humans and pets weighing
up to 38 kg (85lb).
The advanced True Motion Recognition™ algorithm (patented) allows distinguishing between the true
motion of an intruder and any other disturbances which may cause false alarms.
No vertical adjustment is needed.
An on-board motion event jumper determines whether 1 or 2 consecutive motion events trigger an
alarm.
After detection, the detector disarms itself to save battery power. It rearms (reverts to the ready state) if
there is no subsequent detection throughout the following 2-minute period.
Very low current consumption.
Microprocessor-controlled temperature compensation.
White light protection.
Front and back tamper protection.
Elegantly styled, sturdy case.
The device support on temperature’s report according to HA1.2’s panel.
For UL installations: The detector is for use with UL listed control unit only. Pet immunity has not been
evaluated by UL.

1. Keep away from heat sources.
2. Do not expose to air drafts.
3. Do not install outdoors.
4. Avoid direct sunshine.
5. Do not install near high-voltage electrical lines.
6. Do not install behind partitions.
7. Mount on solid stable surface.
Warning! Do not obscure partially or completely the detector’s field of
view.
Figure 2. General Guidelines
Important! The pet detector is tolerant to 38 kg (85 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 tolerant to 19 kg (42 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 pair the detector to the control panel, you must set it to pairing mode.
1. First set the panel to pairing mode and then the detector.
2. To activate, pull the activation strip that protrudes from the back of the detector (see Figure 5). The device power-up stabilization procedure
begins.
3 The red LED blinks every 5 seconds followed by the green LED which blinks 3 times to indicate that the detector is searching for a control
panel.
Note: If detector pairing is not successful during the searching process – by tripping the motion detector or by pressing the tamper switch – the
searching process will restart.
4. Complete the pairing procedure on the control panel (see the pairing instructions in the control panel’s installation guide).
Note: Pairing should be performed before installation.

Important! Instruct the user to walk test at least once a week to verify proper function of the
detector.
Note: Upon battery insertion or closing the cover (which results in closing the tamper switch)
the LED flashes for 2 minutes and the detector goes into walk-test mode for 15
minutes. In walk-test mode, regardless of the LED jumper position, the LED lights
upon every motion detection. After 15 minutes the detector automatically enters
normal mode in which the LED functions according to the LED control jumper
position.

If you encounter one of the following problems with the MP-840, perform the suggested remedy:

Problem
Remedy
Attempt to pair the sensor is unsuccessful.
Make sure that the sensor has been defaulted and is set to pairing
mode (see section 3.5)
The sensor and the panel do not communicate.
Perform the signal strength testing procedure described in the control
panel installation manual. Make sure that the signal is sufficient. If
necessary, replace the sensor’s battery.
The sensor sends a Low Battery indication.
To ensure continuous proper operation, replace the battery within two
weeks of the first Low Battery indication.
Panel does not arm because of an unrecognized sensor malfunction
Consult with your installer or system provider before you disable
a zone.
Disable the sensor zone (see the control panel user manual). Note that
disabling a sensor zone lowers the overall security level of your
system.

the Council of 9 March 1999
USA: FCC-CFR 47 Part 15, UL- UL 639
Canada: IC-RSS 247, ULC – S306
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-247 of Industry and Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée
aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (Visonic Ltd.) could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To comply with FCC Section 1.1310 for human exposure to radio frequency fields and IC requirements, implement the following instruction: A
distance of at least 20cm. between the equipment and all persons should be maintained during the operation of the equipment.
Le dispositif doit être placé à une distance d'au moins 20 cm à partir de toutes les personnes au cours de son fonctionnement normal. Les
antennes utilisées pour ce produit ne doivent pas être situés ou exploités conjointement avec une autre antenne ou transmetteur.
NOTE: This equipment 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 a residential installation. 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 communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Cet équipement a été testé et jugé conforme aux limites s’appliquant à un appareil numérique de classe B, conformém ent à
la Partie 15 des réglementations de la F CC. Ces limites ont été élaborées pour off rir une protection raisonnable contre les

Cet équipement génère, utilize et peut émettre de l’ énergie de fréquence radio et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilize
conformément aux inst ructions du fabricant, peut provoquer des interférences dangereuses pour les com munications radio.
Toutefois, rien ne garantit l’absence d’interférences dans une installation particuliére. Si cet équi pement provoque des
interférences nuisibles au niveau de la réception radio ou television, ce qui peut ét re determine par la mise hors, puis sous
tension de l’ équipment, vous étes invit e à essayer de c orriger les interferences en pregnant les mesures sui vantes:
Réorientez ou déplaces l’ant enne réceptrice.
Augmentez la distance qui sépare l’équi pement et le récepteur.
Branchez l’équipem ent à une prise d’ un circuit different de celui auquel est branc hé le récepteur.

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.
