Visonic TOWER-20AM PG2 PowerG Outdoor Mirror PIR Motion Detector with

Anti-Masking And Built-In Camera

INTRODUCTION

The TOWER 20 AM PG2 is a 2-way, wireless outdoor digital mirror PIR detector which includes the following features:

• l Patented 8 independent quad PIR detectors (Octa-QUADTM) operating in true Quad configuration (patented) with true motion recognition (TMR) processing for each of the 8 PIR detectors, as well as central motion processing that distinguishes between moving intruders and trees and bushes in motion.
• l Advanced Obsidian Black MirrorTM optics (patent pending).
• l Optimum performance even in poor weather conditions such as snow, rain, dust, wind and direct sunlight
• l Tamper protection prevents opening and removal from wall
• l PowerG two-way Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum FHSS-TDMA technology – provides robustness and reliability that is closer than ever to wired systems
• l Built-in link quality indicators enable installer to check signal quality without physically approaching the control panel, thus making installation faster and easier.
• l Robust housing with recessed window.
• l Smart anti-masking distinguishes between masking spray and rain.
• l Alarm LED is visible in sunlight.
• l Automatic termination of walk-test after 15 minutes.
• l Microprocessor-controlled temperature compensation.
• l Immunity to pets weighing up to 18 Kg (40lb), not pet alley – see Table 1
• l Built-in swivel bracket

INSTALLATION

• A. Bracket installation (see Figure 2). Fix the bracket firmly on a stable wall or pillar. The orientation of the fixed bracket must be as parallel as possible to the surveyed ground surface.
• B. Adjust the detector’s horizontal and vertical angles (see Figure 3), according to the surveyed ground surface. The vertical angle indicator position for various installation height and coverage distance combinations is detailed in Table 1 (the information refers to a relatively flat surveyed area. Verify the correct installation by walk-test).
• C. Fasten the detector to the bracket (see Figure 2 step 4).
  Mounting Height| Coverage Distance
  ---|---
  2m / 6.7ft| 4m / 13ft| 6m / 20ft| 8m / 26ft| 10m / 33 ft| 12m / 39 ft
  3.0m / 10 ft| –| 1| 2| 2| 3| 3
  2.5m / 8 ft| 1| 1| 2| 3| 4| 4
  2.0m / 7 ft| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 5
  1.5m / 5 ft| 2| 3| 4| 5| 5| –

Note:
The grayed-in cells in Table 1 are the installation alternatives recommended for further reducing false alarms from pets.

Note: The 2 screw holes enable adjustment of the bracket on the wall if required after testing.

E| Three long screw
F| Two short screws

HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT (-45° to +45°)

VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT (0° to -10° in 2.5° clicks / steps)

Installation Notes:
Do not obscure the detector field of view with large objects.

Battery Insertion

It is recommended to perform the first batteries insertion on a flat surface (see Figure 4). After battery insertion, the LED will flash for 60 seconds and then the detector will enter a 15 minutes’ local diagnostic mode.

Enrollment

Refer to the PowerMaster control panel’s Installer Guide and follow the procedure under the “02:ZONES/DEVICES” option of the Installer Menu. A general description of the procedure is provided in the following flow chart .

Notes:

1. If the detector is already enrolled you can configure the detector parameters and assign partitions via the “Modify Devices” option – see Step 2.
2. PARTITIONS will appear only if PARTITIONING was previously enabled in a panel that supports the Partitioning feature (for further details, see “Partitioning” in the PowerMaster Installer Guide).

Configuring the Detector Parameters

Enter the DEVICE SETTINGS menu and follow the configuration instructions for the TOWER 20 AM PG2 PIR detector as described below.

Optional settings: ON (default) and OFF.
PIR SENSITIVITY| Define if the detector operates at regular or high PIR sensitivity, or that at least one detection zone must be crossed before an alarm

is triggered (One Region).

Optional settings: LOW (default), HIGH and One Region.

Note: For EN compliance, the detector should be set to “One Region”.

DISARM ACTIVITY| Define whether or not to set the activity time during Disarm mode.
Optional settings: NOT Active (default), YES – no delay, YES + 5s delay, YES + 15s delay, YES + 30s delay, YES + 1m delay, YES +

2m delay, YES + 5m delay, YES + 10m delay, YES + 20m delay and YES + 60m delay.

OUTDOOR ANTI-M| Enable or disable the outdoor anti-masking feature.
Optional settings: Disabled (default) and Enabled.
ALARM

Hours

| Define whether motion alarms are always enabled or only when dark (at night).
Optional settings: Day and Night (default) and Night only.

Local Diagnostic Test

• A. Set the detector in local diagnostic mode, as follows:
  Open the detector’s bottom cover (see “Figure 4 – Battery Insertion” on the previous page, steps 1 – 3) and then press and release the tamper switch (see “Figure 5. TOWER 20 AM PG2 ” on the next page). The LED will flash for 60 seconds and then the detector will enter into 15 minutes’ local diagnostic mode.
  Note: The detector automatically enters into 15 minutes’ local diagnostic mode after battery installation or Tamper switch recovery.

• B. Adjust the detector in the horizontal plane to cover the required protected area.

• C. Walk into the detectors’ field of view. Adjust the vertical plane to receive the maximum number of detections when crossing the entire 90° pattern. Verify that the LED blinks each time your motion is detected, as you cross one Quad PIR. Then verify that the LED lights steadily for 2 seconds as you cross the next adjacent Quad PIR. After alarm indication, the LED blinks three times and provides the received signal strength indication (see Table 2).
  LED response| Reception
  ---|---
  Green LED links| Strong
  Orange LED blinks| Good
  Red LED blinks| Poor
  No blinks| No communication

Important: Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, “poor” signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a “poor” signal from the detector, re-locate it and re-test until a “Good” or “Strong” signal strength is received.
Note: For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to the control panel Installer’s Guide
The LED blinking, described above, is operative only in Local diagnostic mode. Upon each full detection (LED lights steadily for 2 seconds), the control panel receives the alarm. If required, perform the detector’s horizontal/vertical adjustments (see section 2.1 and Figure 3).
Important: Instruct the user to perform a walk test at least once a week, to verify proper operation of the detector.

• D. Place a piece of cardboard on the detector’s front side to deliberately mask the optical window. Verify that after 2 minutes, the yellow LED lights continuously (see Table 3 below) and the alarm control panel receives the masking alarm.
• E. Remove the masking from the detector’s front side. Verify that the LED turns off
  LED Indications| Event
  ---|---
  Red LED blinks| Stabilization (warm-up 60 sec)
  Red LED ON 0.2 sec.| Tamper open / close
  Red LED blinks twice| One quad PIR detection in diagnostic mode
  Red LED on 2 sec.| Intruder alarm
  Yellow LED on| AM detection – diagnostic mode
  Yellow LED blinks slowly (0.2 sec. ON, 30 sec. OFF)| AM detection – Normal mode

Note:
After detection, the detector disables itself to save battery power. It reverts to the ready state if there is no subsequent detection throughout the following 2-minute period.
