Component Identification
Enrollment
To enroll the motion sensor, set the panel into programming mode according to
the panel manufacturer’s instruction. When prompted by the panel, enter the
7 digit serial number printed on the sensor label. Make sure the loop number
is set to Loop 1.
Some panels can enroll sensors by capturing the serial number transmitted by
the sensor. The sensor can be enrolled by powering up the device or by
triggering wireless transmissions. Power up the device by removing the battery
tab or removing and reinserting the battery. After 7 seconds, an enrollment
signal will transmit, and the red LED will begin to flash for 45 seconds. When
the LED stops flashing, walk test mode is entered and the sensor can be
triggered by tripping the motion sensor. The sensor will transmit an
enrollment signal every time motion is detected.
Mounting
Mount the motion sensor at 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) above the floor. Press the
case release button to separate the front and back sensor case. The back case
gives access to both the flush mount and corner mount screw knock outs. Remove
the appropriate knockouts and use the included screws to mount in the desired
mounting location. It is recommended to ensure there is a tight seal around
the knockouts to prevent bugs from entering the sensor and causing false
alarms. Replace the front sensor cover by snapping it into place. Secure the
sensor case screws into the top and bottom of the back sensor case. The
RE211P is intended to be installed in accordance with the Standard for
Installation and Classification of Residential Burglar Alarm Systems, UL1641 &
UL 691 – Classification of Burglar and Holdup Alarm Systems, UL 681, and is it
intended for Residential use only.
Sensitivity Jumper Settings
For standard sensitivity motion detection with pet immunity leave the jumper in the default setting (on). Remove the jumper if increased sensitivity to movement is desired.
Walk Test Mode
Walk test mode can be used to test the motion sensor detection coverage area. To enter walk-test mode remove the battery for 10 seconds and re-insert the battery. The red LED will begin to flash indicating that the motion sensor is warming up. After 45 seconds, the LED will stop flashing which indicates the motion sensor is ready to detect motion. The LED will illuminate each time motion is detected. Once the LED goes out, the sensor is ready to detect motion again. Walk test mode ends after 15 minutes. It is recommended that the RE211P PIR is tested monthly to ensure proper function.
Operation
During normal operation, the LED will not turn on even if motion is detected. This is done to maximize battery life. Furthermore, when motion is detected and a signal is transmitted to the panel, the sensor will not transmit again for a period of three minutes.
Maintenance – Replacing the Battery
When the battery is low, a signal will be sent to the control panel.
To insert or replace the battery:
- Remove the front cover to expose the battery.
- Remove the CR123A lithium battery. Note the correct orientation of the battery as shown on the sensor cover plate.
- Replace the CR123A lithium battery. Always match the plus (+) sign on the battery with the flat side of the compartment and the minus (-) sign on the battery with the spring side.
- Replace the front cover.
WARNING: Failure to follow these warnings and instructions can lead to
heat generation, rupture, leakage, explosion, fire, or other injury, or
damage. Do not insert the battery into the compartment in the wrong direction.
Always replace the battery with the same or equivalent type (see
Specifications on page 1). Never recharge or disassemble the battery. Never
place the battery in fire or water. Always keep batteries away from small
children. If batteries are swallowed, promptly see a doctor.
Always dispose and/or recycle used batteries in accordance with the hazardous
waste recovery and recycling regulations for your location. Your city, state,
or country may also require you to comply with additional handling, recycling,
and disposal requirements.
Environmental and Other Useful Information
The RE211P is an indoor use residential product only.
While the PIR is a highly reliable intrusion detection device, it does not
guarantee against burglary. Any intrusion device is subject to a “failure to
warn” for a variety of reasons. Consider the following when installing and
setting up the PIR:
- This PIR has built-in protection to keep bugs from getting into the sensor area and causing false alarms. Note that this protection does not prevent insects from crawling across the lens of the PIR, which could trigger the PIR.
- Infrared energy can be reflected off any glossy surfaces such as mirrors, windows, floors, or counter tops with glossy finish, and slick-finished concrete. Some surfaces reflect less than others (e.g. the PIR can see a change in infrared energy off of reflective surfaces even if the heat or cold source is not within the PIR detection pattern).
- Windows reflect infrared energy. They also allow sunlight or light from other sources (e.g., cars) to pass through to the PIR. The PIR can detect these changes in infrared energy. For example, if sunlight passing through a window shines onto a hardwood floor and the change in infrared energy is quick enough, the PIR can trigger an alarm. The same applies if the PIR area includes a window, even though the pattern of protection cannot “see” through glass. Lights from a passing car can also pass through the window at night and shine directly into the PIR’s lens.
- Heating and air conditioning ducts are also important because if they blow air onto an object within the field of the PIR’s view, the temperature of that object could change quickly enough for the PIR to “see” a change in infrared energy. PIR’s cannot see air current, only the change in temperature of a physical object.
- The PIR senses change in temperature. However, as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 95° to 120° F, the detection performance of the PIR decreases.
- Ensure that the area you wish the PIR to cover is free of obstructions (for example, curtains, screens, plants, and so on.) that may block the pattern of coverage.
- Anything that can sway or move due to air current can cause a change in infrared energy within the fields of view. Drafts from doors or windows can cause this to happen. Plants, balloons, curtains, and hanging baskets should never be left in the PIR’s field of view.
- Do not mount the PIR on a surface that allows for any vibration. Vibrations not only cause the PIR to move a little, but it also causes the fields of view in a room to move with respect the PIR. A little vibration can cause havoc with the PIR’s field of view, thus the PIR may see a change in energy and trigger the alarm.
- An installation often requires that the PIR is aimed at the door. The PIR may detect door movement before the door contact can initiate an entry delay, causing the alarm to trigger. If you install the PIR facing a door, then while programming the PIR, choose an appropriate sensor/zone type.
- The PIR ONLY detects intrusion within the pattern of coverage.
- The PIR does not provide volumetric area protection.
- The PIR creates multiple beams of protection. Intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams.
- The PIR cannot detect motion or intrusion that occurs behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, partitions, glass doors, or windows.
- Tampering with, masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the PIR lens or any part of the optical system can impair detection ability.
- The PIR, like other electrical devices, are subject to component failure. Even though the PIR is designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components are subject to failure.
