QUAD Passive Infra Red Detector Installation Instructions
,1752'8&7,21
The QUATRO+ is a QUAD passive infrared detector which
employs a quad element pyroelectric sensor, providing two
completely separate dual element PIR detectors for increased
reliability (Fig. 1).
A choice of four
interchangeable lenses is
provided: wide angle,
long-range, ultra-wide
angle and pet alley.
The two separate dual
passive infrared detectors
use the same optical
system to cover the same
area. The zones
monitored by detector 1
are positioned slightly
Figure 1- QUATRO+ Quad
Elements
above the zones monitored by detector 2.
Both detectors must be tripped simultaneously to activate an
alarm. This provides a high immunity against false alarms caused
by various heat sources or rodents, which are located in the field
of view of only one detector and not in the other. The QUATRO+
principle of operation and its unique
special processing method increase
the immunity to internal circuit noise
and random environmental distur-
bances, without compromising
detector sensitivity.
Both dual PIR detectors (1 and 2)
have independent, alternate polarity
pulse count signal processing circuits
– one for each detector.
When alternate polarity pulse count
signal processing is selected, each
PIR (1 and 2) must detect motion in
both of their fields (+) and (–).
This means that motion must be detected in all four fields
(beams) of a zone to report an alarm - see Figure 1. This signal
processing provides QUATRO+ with unprecedented protection
against false alarms.
A special QUATRO+/S model, with form C contacts (N.O. + N.C.)
is also available.

To change a lens: insert a small screwdriver into the lens holder
side locking tab and rotate the screwdriver handle downward. The
lens holder will release (Fig. 3).
Insert the new lens with the smooth surface outside and the lens
designation letter in the upper right corner (Fig. 4). Carefully
center the lens so that the distance from its edges to the edge of
the cover is the same on each side of the cover. Holding the lens
firmly in place install the lens holder, pushing it toward the cover
until a click is heard.

Attention! This unit is designed for indoor use only.
The QUATRO+ PIR can be installed directly on a wall (surface
mounted) or in a corner. An optional PIR mounting bracket (BR-1)
is also available,( para. 3.3 and Fig. 5.) Always mount the unit on
a firm and stable surface.
A. Select the mounting location so that the expected motion of an
intruder will cross the beams of the coverage pattern.
B. Select the most convenient mounting height. Built-in
installation aids enable you to mount the unit anywhere up to
3 m (10 ft) height. An accurate adjustment table determines
the recommended angles for various combinations of range
and mounting height (Table 1)
C. QUATRO+ is extremely immune to air turbulence and RFI
interference. However, to minimize possible false alarms, it is
highly recommended to avoid aiming the detector at heaters,
sources of light, or windows subjected to direct sunlight. Also
avoid running wiring close to high power electrical cables.
D. Remove the front cover (Fig. 3). Mount the base (equipped
with the printed circuit board) in the location and height
selected for optimum coverage. For surface mounting use the
two knockouts at the back of the base; for corner mounting
use the knockouts on the angled sides. The unit must be
fastened firmly to the mounting surface to avoid possible
vibrations.
E. Seal all openings in the base with RTV to prevent insects and
air drafts from entering the unit.

The BR-1 is a swivel, surface-mounted bracket for greater
flexibility when setting the desired detection range. It is adjustable
as shown in Figure 5.
The BR-2 is a swivel bracket that consists of the BR-1 and a
corner mounting adapter.
The BR-3 is a swivel bracket kit that consists of the BR-1 and a
ceiling mounting adapter.
ATTENTION: with swivel brackets in use, the effective
detection range may differ from that indicated in Table 1 –
the vertical adjusting scale.

To route wires into the
detector, use either the
wiring knockouts located at
the bottom of the unit
base, or the channel on
the backside of the base
and its knockout. The
channel allows wire routing
under the detector from the
ceiling side (Fig. 6). Refer
to Figure 7 and connect
wires to the terminal block
in the following order.
A. Connect TAMP N.C.
terminals to a normally
closed 24-hour protec-
tion zone of the control
panel. Tamper contact
will open when cover is
removed.

B. Connect RELAY N.C.
terminals to a normally
closed burglar zone of
the control panel. Relay
contacts will open when
motion is detected or
during power loss.
C. Connect the 12VDC (+)

to 16 Volt DC power source and check for correct polarity.
It is advisable that the power supply be battery backed-up.
Current drain of each sensor is approximately 15 mA.

The vertical adjustment scale (printed on the upper right corner of
the p.c. board) and the plastic pointer on the base indicate in
degrees the approximate vertical angle between the horizontal
line of the unit and the upper detection layer.
Table 1 gives the recommended scale adjustment for various
combinations of mounting height and coverage distance. The
scale enables fast, easy pattern adjustment from 0° to -12°
downward according to the installation height and the required
coverage range.
Table 1. Vertical Adjusting Scale
All QUATRO+ sensors are factory preset to -4°. To change the
vertical pattern adjustment, loosen the screw which fastens the
printed circuit board to the rear cover. Slide the p.c. board up or
down to the desired angle and tighten the screw firmly.
In operation, a person must cross both the upper and lower PIRs
together to initiate an alarm (Fig. 1).
It is of utmost importance that a walk test be made over the entire
coverage area to assure that both upper and lower beams will be
crossed. This is of particular importance when using the long
range lens (Lens B).
48$7523XOVH&RXQWHU
The QUATRO+ QUAD PIR is equipped with two independent
alternate polarity pulse count circuits and controls (Fig. 6).
The Upper Detector (1) is controlled with pulse count switch 1.
The Lower Detector (2) is controlled with pulse count switch 2.
Placing both switches to ON selects the alternate polarity pulse
count operation for both detectors. A person is required to cross
both the (+) and (–) beams of both dual element detectors (1 and
2) before activation of the alarm relay. This means that motion
must be detected by all 4 beams (Fig. 1). Use of the pulse count
is recommended only in a temperature controlled environment
where the temperature does not exceed 28°C (82°F).
Placing both switches at OFF actually disables the pulse counters
of both detectors. This should be done if it is necessary to
activate an alarm in the first crossing of a vertical pair of beams,
such as with a long range lens or in high security installations
when high 'catch' performance is required. Still, both detectors
(one beam each) must be triggered.
To ensure proper detection when using the long range lens, pulse
count one must be selected for both the upper and lower
detectors. Set both switches to OFF.
With two pulse count switches you can select pulse count
operation on only one detector (1 or 2). This flexibility may prove
useful in certain applications which require different catch
performance levels in the same area.

A. Apply 12 VDC power and allow five minutes for the unit to
warm up and stabilize before testing.
B. Adjust the vertical pattern angle according to Table 1.
Note: be careful to position the printed circuit board so that
the upper and lower beams reach the maximum required
distance. This can be achieved by careful vertical adjustment
and walk testing.
C. Place the LED jumper at ON (across the middle and top pins)
to activate the LED.
D. Set the pulse counter per para 3.6 above.
E. Walk-test the range and coverage area by walking slowly
across the field of view (in opposite directions) and observe
the LED. The LED lights up whenever you cross a pair of
vertical sensitive beams. Allow 10 seconds between each test
for the unit to stabilize.
F. After testing, the LED can be disabled to prevent unauthorized
persons from tracing the coverage pattern. To disable the
LED, remove the LED jumper from the ON position (across
the middle and upper pins) and place it in the OFF position
(across the middle and lower pins).
NOTE: The range and coverage area should be checked at
least once a year. To assure proper continuous functioning,
the user should be instructed to perform a walk test at the far
end of the coverage pattern to assure an alarm signal.
