LC-203/BLC-203 and LC-204/BLC-204 DUAL TECHNOLOGY DETECTORS
INTRODUCTION
The new line of LC-203/BLC-203 and LC-204/BLC-204 detectors is the best choice for residential and commercial security installations: BLC-203 and BLC-204 are not UL/ULC listed. They only use digital PIRs which bypass the conversion that usually must be done with traditional detectors where an analog PIR is amplified and converted to digital. The FULLY digital technology helps the detector more accurately detect intrusions and not be affected by alterations in white light, ultraviolet light, temperature and air movement caused by heating/cooling systems. It is also fully immune to radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference. LC-203/BLC-203 and LC-204/BLC-204 detectors are equipped with lenses designed by Johnson Controls and are manufactured by Fresnel Technologies, Inc. LODIFF® optic creation technology combined with POLY IR® materials make it a product of the highest quality and efficiency. LC-203/BLC-203 and LC-204/BLC-204 detectors are pet immune (feature not evaluated by UL/ULC) and have a 15 m range and a 100-degree detection range. LC-203/BLC-203 includes mask detection.

White Light Protection
The detector digitally filters white light components. -
High RFI Protection
The detector has very high RFI immunity due to the complete lack of traditional amplifiers. -
POLY IR®4 Plastic Material for Detection Stability
POLY IR® lens material. This materials offers a better combination of transmittance, environmental stability and color than any other polymer on the market. Materials are available for the 8-14 micron infrared region. LODIFF® and POLY IR® are registered trademarks of Fresnel Technologies, Inc. -
Fully Digital PIR
The detector has no analog components and the fully digital PIR interfaces directly with the microprocessor. -
Pet Immunity
Thanks to a new lens design and the digital analysis system, all of our detectors are immune to pets weighing up to 15 kg. -
LODIFF® Fresnel Technology Lenses
This lens series is made by tiling LODIFF® lens pieces. These lenses offer significantly improved performance over the typical constant-bandwidth Fresnel lens.

INSTALLATION
- Using a thin screwdriver, loosen the bottom screw and open the cover (see Fig 1)
- Remove the board from the plastic base by removing the screw on the board (see Fig 2)
- Open the knockouts needed for mounting onto the wall (or use the non-certified IMQ joint)
- Open the knockouts for removal protection and fix the anchor to the wall (see Fig 2)
- Recommended height is 2.1 m
- Run the connection cables through the bottom of the container and out the top
- Connect the wires on the board as described below
NOTE : Do not partially or completely cover the detector’s field of
vision
NOTE : the pet function is not IMQ certified
MEANING OF THE LEDS
During normal operation, the LED signals are:
GREEN LED = PIR Alarm; YELLOW LED = MW Alarm; RED LED = General Alarm (both
PIR and MW)
-
LC-203/BLC-203: In the case of detector masking, the LED corresponding to the masked technology will flash, and the MASK alarm contacts open LC-203/BLC-203 VERSION
The LC-203/BLC-203 provides continuous detector self-testing, in the case of an anomaly lasting longer than 15 seconds, the detector will report: -
POWER SUPPLY ABOVE THE NOMINAL THRESHOLDS:
Alternating flashing of YELLOW and GREEN LEDs and opening of the MASK contact -
INFRARED SELF-TEST FAILURE
Flashing of GREEN LED and opening of the MASK contact -
MICROWAVE SELF-TEST FAILURE
Flashing of YELLOW LED and opening of the MASK contact
CONNECTION AND SETUP
-
Dip LED –> off = LED off – on = LED on*
-
Dip HIGH/LOW –> off = 7m – on = 15m range
-
Dip NORM/PULSE –> off = 1 pulse – on = 2 pulse
-
Dip AND/OR-AUTO** –> off-off = AND; on-off = OR; on-on = auto OR Trimmer RANGE = used only for microwave. NOTE: The RANGE trimmer may need to be adjusted to the maximum position in order to achieve maximum area of coverage as indicated in Figure 3
-
Jumpers T – A – EOL open = NC contacts without resistors (not for UL/ULC applications) Jumpers
-
T – A – EOL closed = DEOL supervision with internal resistors
SUPPLY terminals: Power supply 9-15 VDC / 56 mA. UL/ULC tested: 10.6-13 VDC / 56 mA. -
Note:For UL/ULC installations the detector shall be provided with minimum of 4 hours of standby power from either a listed compatible control unit or power supply. Output contacts ratings: 28 VDC / 100 mA. Use only resistive loads on the outputs. MASK terminals = antimasking terminals present on LC-203/BLC-203 only
Note : Incorrect connections may result in failure or improper operation.
Inspect wiring and ensure connections are correct before turning on the power.
*remote activation and deactivation of walk test LED for LC-203/BLC-203 only: connect a 39 ohm resistor in series with the positive power supply, connect the NC output command in parallel with the R (see figure). The command should have a time of 3 or 4 seconds. At each command you will be able to turn the led on and off. For each connected detector add an R in parallel to the first one, and connect the power supplies that are in common.
** For UL/ULC installations use the OFF-OFF configuration only.
