Position the front cover (see fig. 7) in the detector housing with
the small latches aligned with their corresponding latch holders.
Push the front cover gently until a click is heard. The lens
assembly, which is located behind the front cover, is adjustable
vertically. Locking screws are provided to secure the lens
assembly after vertical adjustment and to hold the detector in the
electrical box.
Opening the detector:
Using a screwdriver, release the cover, by gently pushing on the
latches, from the rear of the detector housing, until the front cover
disengages.

Fig. 8 shows parts and construction of MR-4000 Lens Assembly.
Note: The Positioning Guides of model MR-4000R are slightly
different from model MR-4000 and are located on the sides of the
Lens Housing - see figure 11. To change or adjust a lens, release
and remove the two lens-locking clips, located on both sides of the
lens, by pushing them from inside the cover (see fig. 9).
Install the new lens with the smooth surface outside and the lens
number held at the upper left corner, opposite the lens positioning
pointer - see figure 8. From inside the lens assembly, carefully
center the lens by sliding it to the right or left. The lens is
centered when both lens edges emerge equally above the frame
of the lens housing.
Holding firmly in place, insert the lens locking clips from the
outside (flanges pointed outward) and firmly push into place until
a click is heard - see figures 8 and 10.
Before closing the detector, lens assembly should be held in
correct position relative to detector. Positioning guides and
pointer of lens assembly assure correct positioning of the lens
assembly relative to the front cover. Figure 11 shows lens
housing positioning of both models: MR-4000 and MR-4000R.
Model MR-4000: The
pointer is placed close
to "A" (imprinted on
cover’s inner side).
Model MR-4000R:
The pointer is placed
close to "B". The two
guiding studs assure
correct positioning of
the lens assembly in
each model and allow
movement of the lens
assembly for vertical
adjustment.

A. The MR-4000 detector is much more sensitive to motion
crossing the beams of its coverage pattern than to motion
towards or away from the detector. Therefore, select the
mounting location so that the expected motion of an intruder will
cross the beams of the selected pattern.
NOTE: Passive infrared detectors are sensitive to changes in
infrared energy caused by an object moving across the unit's field of
view. The changes in infrared energy, detected by a PIR, depend
on the amount of infrared energy transmitted by the moving object.
The changes also depend on the temperature difference between
the object and the background. As a result, the PIR may fail to
respond under certain temperature and background conditions, in
which the temperature difference is too small. It is therefore
recommended that the PIR be aimed towards the coolest place in
the protected area, to obtain the maximum sensitivity in installations
where high ambient temperatures are expected.
B. Select the most convenient mounting height. An adjustment table
determines the recommended angle for any combination of range
and mounting height (see Table 1). Take in consideration that
unprotected areas exist directly above and below the detector and
increases when covered area is increased.
C. Where pets are present, consider the use of lens No. 5 (Pet
Alley). For best detection performance install the MR-4000 at
the lowest possible height that enables directing of the pattern
above the level of the pets' activity.
D. MAGIC-RED is extremely immune to air turbulence and RFl
interference. However, to minimize false alarms, it is highly
recommended to avoid aiming the detector at heaters, sources
of bright light, or windows subjected to direct sunlight. Also
avoid running wiring close to high-power electrical cables.

A. The MR-4000 is a flush mounted PIR designed to fit into
virtually any standard single-gang electrical switch box (fig. 8).
The box should be installed according to its specific
instructions.
B. Due to its sealed design, the MR-4000 can also be installed
directly into a prepared space in the wall, without requiring a
box enclosure. Figure 13 provides an actual size cutout drawing
which may be used when drilling the holes in the wall.

Use 22 AWG or larger wires. The maximum wiring length
between the unit and its power source depends on the number of
units connected in parallel and the wire gauge.

The table shown in the right side
provides maximum wiring length
for a single unit, using different
gauge wires. If two or more units
are connected in parallel,
maximum wiring length
described in the table should be
divided by number of units.
Relay connection
Connect Relay N.C. terminals (pins 1 & 2) to a normally closed
burglar protection zone of control panel. Relay contacts opens
when an intruder is detected or during power loss. Relay contacts
are rated at 100 mA, 24 VDC maximum (resistive load only).
18-ohm resistor is internally connected in series to relay contacts.
Supply Voltage connection
Connect the 12 VDC (-) and (+) terminals (pins 3 & 4) to a 9-16
VDC source. Check for correct polarity. The power source should
have a back-up battery that is capable of supplying power for at
least four hours of operation, during power failure. Current drain
of each sensor is approximately 20 mA.
Plugging in the
Connector
Plug the connector into
the connector pins in the
unit (fig. 9). Verify that:
A. The connector Is
mounted in the
correct position - i.e.,
the +12 VDC wire is
plugged into pin 4.
B. The connector is
installed to the end of
its pins.

Important! For proper operation of the tamper switch, the gap
between back wall of installation box and the tamper’s switch lever
(in depressed position) must be filled with material. In this manner,
the tamper switch is depressed when unit is installed in the
mounting box. For this purpose, attach a piece of wood to the back
wall of the mounting box, just behind the location of the tamper
switch. Afterwards, carefully adjust the height, by trimming the
wood, until MR-4000 can be installed into the box and the tamper
switch functions properly. Make sure the piece of wood is well
secured to the mounting box and that no excess pressure is applied
to the tamper switch.

MR-4000 provides the most powerful tools for quick, easy and
accurate pattern adjustments. The LED selector, horizontal
adjustment, vertical calibrated scale, height selection table and
beam masking material are all unique features which enable
precise pinpointing of the pattern both vertically and horizontally.
LED Selector
The LED selector consists of a 3-pin
connector and a jumper to switch the
walk test LED either ON or OFF -
Fig. 15
ON position is used for walk-test.
The LED lights for a few seconds
whenever motion is detected.
OFF position is used to disable the
LED after testing, to prevent
unauthorized persons from tracing
the coverage pattern.
Figure 15 - Printed
Circuit Board
Horizontal Adjustment
MAGIC-RED coverage pattern can be adjusted horizontally
approximately ±7.5°, by rotating the lens to the left or right side.
To adjust, remove the lens locking clips, rotate the lens to the
desired position and lock the lens in place.
Vertical Adjustment
The vertical adjusting scale (printed on the lens assembly), indicates
the angle (in degrees) between the upper layer of the coverage
pattern and the horizontal line of the unit. The scale enables pattern
adjustment from 0°to -12°downward according to the installation
height and the required coverage range.
The vertical adjusting scale is imprinted on the lens assembly in
two parts. Settings from 0°to -6°are imprinted on the frame
below the lens and settings from 6°to - 12°are imprinted on the
frame above the lens - see figures 1, 2, 8 and 9.
Setting of the vertical adjusting scale is done by aligning the edge
of the rectangular opening in the front cover with the line marked
with the appropriate number on the scale - see figure 17. Table 1
gives recommended scale adjustment for combinations of
mounting height and coverage distance.
Table 1 - Vertical Adjusting Scale
Example: If you require coverage range of 9 m (30 ft) and wish to install the
sensor at a height of 1.8 m (6 ft) from the ground, set the Vertical Adjustment
Scale to -6°.
Vertical adjustment is performed as
follows:
• First, refer to table 1 and determine
the correct scale setting according
to unit’s mounting height and the
required coverage range. The table
should be used only to the
maximum coverage range of the
selected lens, as indicated in the
Lens Selection.

• Slightly loosen the two locking
screws which fasten the unit to the
mounting box until the lens assembly
can be positioned up and down (with
slight friction) between the front
cover and the detector housing.
• Moving the lens assembly up or
down, set the adjusting scale to the
correct setting according to table 1
and tighten the two screws firmly.
Beam Masking Material
A special beam masking material,
supplied with each MAGIC RED sensor
can be used to mask individual
segments in the lens array which are
exposed to potential sources of false
alarm (heaters, blowers, pets etc.).
The material is transparent to visible
light but blocks infrared energy. To
block individual beam(s), locate the
corresponding segment(s) in the array.
Figure 17 -
Setting
the Vertical Adjusting
Scale
Cut the masking material to the exact dimensions of the
segment(s) to be blocked, remove the backing paper and apply
the masking material accurately to the inside (grooved) surface of
the appropriate segment(s). In some cases, more than one layer
of the lens masking material may be required to completely block
the infrared energy.
6HWWLQJWKH3XOVH&RXQWHU
Model MR-4000 is equipped with a programmable pulse counter
which can be set to count 1 or 3 pulses, before activating the
alarm relay. To set the pulse counter, place the jumper on the
desired setting (1 or 3) - see figure 16.
3 pulses: This setting provides the maximum protection against
false alarms caused by all types of environmental disturbances.
Three pulses may be selected for wide-angle, multi beam lenses
1, 4 and 5.
Note: Do not select 3-pulse operation when using lenses 2 or 3.
When the pulse counter is set to 3, no alarm will occur unless the
unit registers three pulses within approximately two minutes. This
ordinarily requires crossing more than one beam. (Each
dual-beam produces two pulses. One additional beam element is
needed to provide the third pulse).
1 Pulse This setting actually disables the pulse counter. It should
be used when it is necessary to activate an alarm on the first
detected pulse, such as with long-range lenses. One pulse
should be selected when using lenses 2 and 3, or in high security
installations when fast "catch" performance is of greatest
importance.
Self-Adjusting Walk-Test Override
The unique pulse counter incorporated in the MR-4000 features
an automatic override to single-pulse mode during walk-testing.
After alarm signaling, the pulse counter converts automatically to
single-pulse setting for several seconds. During this time period
each detection pulse will activate an immediate alarm. This
feature enables convenient walk-testing of each beam in the
coverage pattern - exactly as for a unit without a pulse counter.
Two minutes after the end of walk-testing the pulse counter
returns automatically to its original setting and is ready for a new
counting sequence.
)LQDO7HVWLQJ
A. Apply 12 VDC and allow 5 minutes for the unit’s stabilization.
B. Adjust the vertical pattern angle according to Table 1.
C. Set pulse counter per para. 3.7
D. MASK beams which face potential sources of false alarm.
E. Slowly walk-test the whole protected area across coverage
beams while observing the LED. The LED lights whenever
you enter or exit coverage beam. Allow 5 minutes interval
between tests for unit’s settling down.
F. Check the operation of the alarm relay and the tamper switch.
Warning: After walk testing disable the LED by setting the
LED selector to OFF position.
Important: Whenever you open and close the detector,
make sure that the scale is adjusted to the correct setting
and that the locking screws are firmly tightened, so that the
position of the lens housing cannot be changed.
0DLQWHQDQFH
Proper operation, range and coverage pattern should be checked
at least once a week according to para. 3.8. To assure proper
continuous operation, the end user should be instructed to walk
through the entire coverage pattern and to assure an alarm
output, each time, before the alarm system is armed.
