The DISCOVERY Wwireless PIR is an advanced microprocessor-
controlled, low-current PIR detector incorporating an on-board
miniature UHF transmitter.
Following detection, the DISCOVERY W activates the on-board
UHF transmitter for 2 seconds, then disarms itself to save battery
power. The detector rearms itself (reverts to the ready state)
automatically 2 minutes after the last movement has been
detected. A TEST/NORMAL selector is used to override the
2-minute rearm timer during walk testing.

. INSTALLATION
3.1 Installation Hints
To minimize false alarms:
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
Do not install behind partitions
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).
C. Pull the PCB straight out and put it aside until required again.
D. Refer to Figure 4 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).
E. Hold the base against the wall at the selected installation
location and mark the points for drilling.
F. Drill the holes and insert the plastic anchors supplied (if
necessary).
G. 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 adjust it as explained in Para. 3.8.
Figure 4. Inside View
3.3 Mounting with Swivel Bracket
A. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3.
B. Remove the PCB and put it temporarily aside.
C. Punch out the large knockout in the round bulge at the top
part of the base (see Figure 5)
Figure 5. Attaching the Bracket
D. Assemble the bracket as shown in Figure 5.

H. Tilt down or swivel the detector to face the desired direction.
Figure 7 shows the tilt/swivel possibilities.
I. Once the detector is directed as desired, tighten the bracket
assembly screw well, to prevent any further change of position.
Figure 7. Tilt / Swivel Limits
3.4 Battery Installation
The DISCOVERY W is powered by a 9-volt alkaline or lithium
battery. Remove the detector's front cover, snap the battery clip
onto the battery and place the battery in its place (below the
printed circuit board). Before testing, allow 10 minutes for the
detector to stabilize (the LED may light during this time).
Warning! For proper operation, use only alkaline or lithium type
batteries.
3.5 System Code Selection
The code selector consists of an
8-key DIP switch (see Figure 8).
Each key is set to either ON or OFF
position to create a unique digital
system code combination (256
possibilities).
Select the desired digital code so that
it will match the one selected on the
companion receiver.
All wireless PIR detectors and the
receiver used in the alarm system
Figure 8. System
Code Selector
must be set to the same digital system code.
CAUTION: The code combination 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 ON / 1, 3, 8 OFF
is a factory setting that must be avoided. Also avoid codes such
as all keys ON, all keys OFF or alternating ON-OFF settings.
3.6 Channel Code Selection
The Visonic Ltd. wireless security systems have a multi-channel
capability. Each wireless DISCOVERY W detector can be set to
transmit one of 4 different channel codes. Each channel code
activates a particular output circuit of the companion receiver.
This feature is very useful for zoning
purposes - activation of different type of
zones at the control panel.
The channel selector consists of a 4-key
DIP switch (see Figure 9). The channel
code is selected by setting the key with
the desired channel number to ON.
If there is a low battery condition, a LOW
BATTERY alert code (code "0") will be
automatically transmitted once every 2
Figure 9. Channel
Code Selector
minutes, regardless of the channel selector setting. Code "0"
causes receivers equipped with a buzzer output to activate the
buzzer. Setting the 4 channel keys to OFF and initiating a
transmission is a way to check whether code "0" works.
Upon activation of the detector’s tamper switch (by removing the
front cover), channel "2" code will be automatically transmitted
once every 2 minutes, regardless of the channel selector setting.
Caution: Do not select channel 2 as the normal alarm channel,
because this will cause alarm and tamper events to have the
same channel code.
3.7 Setting the Pulse Counter
The location of the pulse count selector is indicated in Figure 5.
Refer to Figure 10 below and mount the jumper as desired.
Figure 10. Pulse Counter Setting Options
3.8 Vertical Adjustment
Refer to Figure 11. Loosen the vertical adjustment screw and
slide the printed circuit board up or down to obtain the desired
coverage. When done, tighten the screw well.
Figure 11. Vertical Adjustment
3.9 Setting the TST/NORM Jumper
Since battery saving is of utmost importance in normal use of the
detector unit, an automatic timer inhibits the detector for
approximately 2 minutes after each transmission. During this
period, the transmitter cannot be triggered again by subsequent
motion within the protected area. The detector is automatically
rearmed 2 minutes after the last motion was detected.
For rapid walk testing of the coverage pattern, you must eliminate
the 2 minute inhibit interval between successive alarms. The
NORM/TEST selector, when set to TEST, overrides the 2-minute
rearm timer, and also sets the pulse counter to 1 PULSE.
Remember that in the TEST mode, tamper and low battery alerts
will be transmitted at 1/2 second intervals instead of the usual
2-minute intervals. When the selector is reset to NORM, the
rearm timer reverts to normal operation.
TEST Position Setting the jumper as shown
enables the LED and overrides the rearm timer,
allowing you to walk test the detector.
NORMAL Position: Setting the jumper as
shown disables the walk-test LED and enables
the 2-minute rearm timer.

3.10 Final Testing
A. Snap the battery clip onto the 9 Volt alkaline or lithium battery
and allow ten minutes for the unit to stabilize before testing.
B. Adjust the vertical calibration angle per Para. 3.8.
C. Set the Normal/Test selector to TEST.
D. Replace the cover.
E. Walk-test the entire protected area by walking slowly across
it, observing the LED. The LED lights whenever you cross a
protective beam. Allow the unit to restabilize for 5 seconds
after each test.
F. Remove the cover and set the pulse counter as required for
the particular application.
G. Set the NORMAL/TEST selector to NORM and put the cover
back on. Wait 5 minutes outside the coverage area. Then
re-enter the coverage area and verify that the LED lights
(response will be immediate only if the pulse counter is set to
1 pulse).
If you continue moving within the detector's field of view, the
LED will turn OFF and the unit will remain disabled as long as
movement continues, due to the 2-minute battery saving
rearm timer. The unit will be rearmed provided that no motion
is detected for approximately 2 minutes, and will again be
ready to detect and signal.
CAUTION: The range and coverage area of the unit should
be checked at least once a year. To assure proper
continuous function, the end user should be instructed to
perform a walk test at the far end of the area to assure an
alarm signal prior to each time the alarm system is armed.

. SPECIAL NOTES AND STATEMENTS. SPECIAL NOTES AND STATEMENTS
. SPECIAL NOTES AND STATEMENTS
Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are reliable are tested to high
standards. However, due to their low transmitting power (required
by FCC and other regulatory authorities), there are some
limitations to be considered:
A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals on or near their
operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.
B. Receivers can only respond to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly (at least once
a week) to determine if there are sources of interference and
to protect against faults.
This device complies with the essential requirements and
provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and
