DIP Switches Setup

1. Remove the detector’s bottom covers to access the DIP switches (see Figure 3, steps 4-8).
2. Set the DIP switches according to Table 1:

OFF: Motion and masking alarm LEDs are disabled (OFF). Can be
enabled by TST input (Active low)| ON
2| PIR Sensitivity|  ON: High PIR sensitivity.
OFF: Normal PIR sensitivity.| OFF
3| AM ON/OFF| ON: AM on
OFF: AM off *| ON
4| Masking event opens| ON: Masking event reported to panel Alarm relay (EN standard)
as TROUBLE and ALARM (EN standard). Trouble and Alarm relay opens
at the same time.**
OFF: Masking event reported to the panel as TROUBLE (Trouble relay
opens).| OFF

*Switching from OFF to ON resets the detector for a stabilization period of 60 sec. and causes the detector to re-adapt to its current surroundings. Remain at a distance of at least 0.5 m (1.5 ft.) from the detector to prevent disruption of this process.
**Use ON for EN-approved control panels/installations. However, many installers prefer not to have the ALARM relay opened on an amasking event.

Adjustments

1. Adjust the detector’s horizontal and vertical angles according to the surveyed ground surface (see Figure 4, steps 1 – 6).
2. Close the detector as shown in Figure 3, steps 7 – 12.

For vertical adjustment reference based on mounting height and coverage distance combinations, refer to Table 2. The grayed-in cells in Table 2 are the recommended installation alternatives for reducing false alarms from pets.

| OFF

Switching from OFF to ON resets the detector for a stabilization period of 60 sec. and causes the detector to re-adapt to its current surroundings. Remain at a distance of at least 0.5 m (1.5 ft.) from the detector to prevent disruption of this process. Use ON for EN-approved control panels/installations. However, many installers prefer not to have the ALARM relay opened on a masking event.

Installation
Bracket installation (see Figure 3) – firmly fix the bracket on a stable wall or pillar. The orientation of the fixed bracket should be as parallel as possible to the surveyed ground surface

Wiring

Perform wiring (see Figure 3, steps 8 – 10)

Adjustments
Adjust the detector’s horizontal and vertical angles (see Fig. 4, steps 1 – 6), according to the surveyed ground surface, and close the detector, as shown in Fig. 3, steps 7 – 12. The vertical angle indicator position for various installation height and coverage distance combinations is detailed in Table 2 (the information refers to a relatively flat surveyed area. however, in any case, the correct installation should be verified by walk-test).

Table 2: Vertical Adjustment Reference

Note: The grayed-in cells in Table 2 are the installation alternatives recommended for further reducing false alarms from pets.

Note: To decrease false alarms, which can be triggered by pets, it is recommended to install the detector at a height of 2 to 2.5 meters from the ground surface. In addition, vertical adjustment must be fixed on the #4 or #5 position. It is recommended to aim the detector at a background such as walls, houses, and fences but not at open space.

Test

1. The detector enters Walk-Test mode after one of the following occurs:

• The 60-second stabilization period

• DIP-SW1 position changes from OFF to ON

• TST input state changes from OFF to ON
  Note: Regardless of the DIP-SW1 and TST input settings, the Alarm and AM LED indications are enabled in Walk-Test mode. Crossing a single beam causes the red LED to double-blink.

• Walk into the detector’s field of view at the expected far edge of the coverage Ver- Verify that each time your motion is detected the red LED lights for 2 seconds and the control panel receives the alarm. If required, perform the detector’s horizontal/vertical readjustments.
  Important! Instruct the user to perform a walk test at least once a week, to verify the proper operation of the detector.

• Place a piece of cardboard on the detector’s front side, to deliberately mask the optical After 2 minutes, the yellow LED should light (see Table 3) and the alarm control panel should receive the masking alarm.

• Remove the masking from the detector’s front The LED should extinguish (after about 30 seconds).

This warranty applies only to defects in parts and workmanship and not to damage incurred in shipping or handling, or damage due to causes beyond the control of Digital Security Controls such as lightning, excessive voltage, mechanical shock, water damage, or damage arising out of abuse, alteration or improper application of the equip- meant. The foregoing warranty shall apply only to the original buyer and is and shall be instead of any other warranties, whether expressed or implied, and of all other obligations or liabilities on the part of Digital Security Controls. Digital Security Controls neither assumes, nor authorizes any other person purporting to act on its behalf to modify or to change this warranty, nor to assume for it any other warranty or liability concerning this product.

In no event shall Digital Security Controls be liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages, loss of anticipated profits, loss of time, or any other losses incurred by the buyer in connection with the purchase, installation or operation, or failure of this product. Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion that occurs behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows, or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.

Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing temperature changes. However, their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting, and so on.

Warning : Digital Security Controls recommends that the entire system be completely tested regularly. However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical disruption, it is possible for this product to fail to perform as expected.
Important Information : Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security Controls could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
