Climax EIR-32 Outdoor Pet-Immune PIR Motion Sensor Instructions

Climax EIR-32 Outdoor Pet-Immune PIR Motion Sensor

The EIR-32, a battery-operated outdoor PIR detector, allows economical and effortless outdoor installation while providing exceptional detection capabilities.
The built-in sensor with detection sensitivity eliminates the chance of false alarms caused by small animals or other outdoor disturbances. The anti-masking feature allows for detection of any attempts to blind the detector by placing objects in its field of view. In addition, the adjustable Detection Range gives an effective match for every installation environment, that provides a peace of mind living-style and yet protecting your premises and be-loved ones all year round.

Identifying the Parts

1. Digital Proximity Detector The detector is used detect any masking (blocking) attempt by an intruder.
2. LED indicator The LED indicator is used to indicate the system status.
3. IR Sensor The sensor is intended to detect moving objects.
4. Test Button The Test button is used for testing the radio performance and for learning purpose.
5. DIP Switch Block There are 8 DIP Switches for setting the function & detection sensitivity levels.
6. Tamper Switch EIR-32 is protected by the tamper switch against any unauthorized removal from the mounting plate or mounting location.
7. Battery Compartment
8. Mounting Plate
9. Breakaway Area The Breakaway Area has 6 knockouts (2 for surface mounting and 4 for corner mounting) where plastic is thinner for screw mounting. When the Detector is forcibly removed from the mounting location, the Break-Away area will detach and allow the tamper switch to be activated.
10. Protective Shield The protective shield protects the Digital Proximity Detector from rain.

LED Indicator
In normal operation mode, the LED Indicator remains off except:

• When the Motion Sensor is in low battery condition, each time it transmits a detected movement, the LED will flash.
• When the Tamper Switch is triggered, the LED will flash to indicate it is transmitting a “Tamper” signal.
• When the Tamper condition persists, each time it transmits a detected movement, the LED will flash.
• In Test mode, the LED will flash whenever a movement is detected.
• The LED will not flash if the EIR tamper and battery are normal and is not under test mode.
• If the LED flashes to indicate signal transmission, it will flash twice rapidly upon receiving acknowledgment from the panel.

Test Mode
The Motion Sensor can be put into Test mode for 10 minutes by pressing the Test button once. In Test mode, the sleep timer is disabled, and the LED indicator is enabled to light up for two seconds whenever a movement is detected. The Motion Sensor will automatically exit Test Mode after 10 minutes, and return to normal mode.
To put the Motion Sensor into constant Test mode, please adjust DIP switch 1 (Please refer to DIP Switch Position Table).

Battery

• The Motion Sensor uses two AAL91 lithium batteries as its power source.
•  The Motion Sensor features low battery voltage detection. When low battery is detected, a low battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel along with regular signal transmissions for the Control Panel to display the status accordingly.
• To Change Battery:
  • Step 1: Navigate the Control Panel into Programming mode.
  • Step 2: Remove the Motion Sensor from the mounting position and unscrew to open top cover.
  • Step 3: Remove the old batteries and press the tamper button a few seconds to fully discharge.
  • Step 4: Insert two new AAL91 lithium batteries.
  • Step 5: Screw back the top cover.
  • Step 6: Mount back the Motion Sensor to the mounting location.
  • Step 7: Navigate the Control Panel to exit Programming mode and return to the operation mode. The procedure is complete.

Supervisory Signal

• After installation, the Motion Sensor will automatically transmit Supervisory signals periodically to the Control Panel at random intervals of 15 to 18 minutes.
• If the Control Panel has not received the signal from the Motion Sensor for the preset period of time, the Control Panel will indicate on its display that the particular Motion Sensor is experiencing an out-of-signal problem.

Sleep Timer
The Motion Sensor features an automatic “sleep time” of approximately one minute for power conservation. After transmitting a detected movement, the Motion Sensor will not retransmit for one minute. Any further movement detected within this one-minute sleep period will extend the sleep time by another minute. This way, continuous movement in front of Motion Sensor will not unduly exhaust the battery.

Double Knock Function
The Motion Sensor has a double knock function. If the double-knock function is enabled, the Motion Sensor will report an alarm to the control panel only if two movements are detected within 10 seconds. If the double-knock function is disabled, the Motion Sensor will report an alarm to the control panel when a movement is detected.

Proximity Detection

• The Motion Sensor has a digital proximity detector that can detect any masking (blocking) attempt by an intruder.
• When a masking event is detected, and the masking condition lasts for 2 minutes, EIR-32 will send a tamper open signal to the Control Panel to notify user of the condition.
• After masking/blocking is removed for 2 minutes, EIR-32 will send a tamper to restore the signal to the Control Panel.

< NOTE>
Any IR trigger movement will clear the currently detected masking event/condition. A masking event must be detected and last for 2 minutes for the tamper open report to be transmitted.

Tamper Protection

• EIR-32 is protected by a tamper switch which is compressed when it is hooked onto the mounting bracket.
• Whenever the Motion Sensor is removed from the mounting plate, the tamper switch will be activated.
• When the Motion Sensor is forcibly removed from mounting location, the Break Away area on the mounting plate will detach, also allowing the tamper switch to be activated.
• The Motion Sensor will send a tamper open signal to remind the user of the condition whenever the tamper switch is activated.

Getting Started – Learning the Motion Sensor into the Control Panel

• Loosen the fixing screws and remove the cover assembly.
• Based on your needs, set Sensitivity Switch as shown in DIP Switch Position Table.
• Insert two AAL91 lithium batteries into the battery holder taking care to connect the polarity correctly.
• The LED indicator will flash for 60 seconds. The Motion Sensor is warming up. During the warming period, the Motion Sensor is not activated. It is recommended that you stay away from the detection area during this time. After the warming period is over, the LED dims and the Motion Sensor is ready to operate.
• Put the Control Panel into learning mode, refer to Control Panel manual for details.
• Press the Test button once. The LED indicator will flash for three times.
• If the Control Panel receives the signal, it will display the information accordingly. Refer to the Control Panel manual to complete the learn-in process. (For certain Control Panel models, the Motion Sensor can be learnt in as a regular PIR with programmable attributes and thus the Control Panel will report when an alarm is triggered).
• After the Motion Sensor is learnt-in, put the Control Panel into Walk Test mode. Hold the Motion Sensor in the desired location, and press the Test button to confirm this location is within the signal range of the Control Panel.
• When you are satisfied that the Motion Sensor works in the chosen location, you can proceed to installation.

NOTE
Walk Test should be conducted to confirm proper operation and coverage of the Motion Sensor. When learning Motion Sensor or conducting Walk Test, please avoid obstructing the anti-masking detector by your hand, otherwise tamper open signal will transmitted to the Control Panel if masking condition lasts for 2 minutes.

Mounting & Installation Method

Mounting with mounting plate

• The Motion Sensor is designed to be mounted on either a flat surface or in a corner situation with fixing screws and plugs provided.
• The provided mounting plate has knockouts, where the plastic is thinner and can be broken for mounting purpose. Two knockouts are for surface fixing and four knockouts are for corner fixing as shown in the picture.
• To Mount EIR-32 with Mounting Bracket:
  • Use the mounting plate as a template to drill holes on the wall for plugs.
  • Push in the plugs and fix the mounting plate on the wall with the screws.
  • Mount EIR-32 with the hooks of the mounting plate latched on the back cover of the EIR-32, and then push downwards until you hear a click sound to lock the hook.
  • Insert the protective shield (the protective film from both sides must first be removed).

Mounting with mounting plate and rotating holder (Optional):

• A rotating holder is provided as a user friendly mounting option. It is comprised of a base to fix to surface, and a swivel ball to fix to mounting plate and EIR-32.
• With the rotating holder, the EIR-32 can be rotated in any direction to provide optimal viewing angle.

To mount EIR-32 with mounting plate and rotating holder:

1. Fix the rotating holder to the wall with provided screws.
2. Fix the mounting plate on the swivel ball with the fixing screw secured through the foolproof design hole.
3. Mount EIR-32 with the hooks of the mounting plate latched on the back cover of the EIR-32, and then push downwards until you hear a click sound to lock the hook.
4. Insert the protective shield (the protective film from both sides must first be removed).
5. Rotate the swivel ball to adjust EIR-32’s detecting angle. When the angle adjusting screw is half loosen, the swivel ball can still be rotated.
6. When EIR-32 is rotated to a positon with desired detection angle, you can lock the position by firmly tightening the angle adjusting screw.

Installation Recommendation

It is recommended to install the Motion Sensor in the following locations:

• 2M (measured from bottom of the motion sensor) above ground level for best performance.
• The operating temperature is -10˚ to 45˚C.
• In a corner for the widest view.
• Where an intruder would normally move across the Motion Sensor’s field of view.
• A surface or corner where animals are inaccessible.
• The Motion Sensor has a detection range of 10M when mounted 2m above ground.

Limitations:

• Do not install the Motion Sensor completely exposed to direct sunlight.
• Avoid large obstacles in the detection area.
• Do not point directly at sources of heat, such as fires and boilers, or install above radiators.
• Never attempt to disassemble or modify the unit.
• Please install the Motion Sensor straight up. Do not tilt it.
• Do not install the motion sensor where objects moved by wind such as trees and laundry, which may block the motion sensor’s field of view.
• Clear all light reflecting surfaces from the detection area, as well as water puddles.
• Avoid looking directly at the path of outdoor unit’s intake or exhaust airflow.

< IMPORTANT NOTE> 

• Adjust the Dip Switches according to the installation location of the Motion Sensor for ideal performance. If Dip Switch settings does not match with installation environment, the Motion Sensor’s performance will be hindered and may cause either false alarm or inability to detect movement.
• The Motion Sensor detects differences between the moving object and the background. If the object is idle (i.e. not moving), the Motion Sensor is unable to detect it.
• The Motion Sensor has a directional characteristic and is most effective at detecting intruder moving across field of detection. It is less sensitive for detecting motion directly towards the Motion Sensor.
• For best performance, remember to adjust the mounting height of Motion Sensor with respect to the height of the tallest pet in the house. Taller dogs require the Motion Sensor to be mounted higher for pet friendliness.
• The Motion Sensor has about 1M of blind spot under it when mounted at 2M high. The blind spot area will enlarge if you mount the Motion Sensor higher than 2M, and reduce if lower than 2M.
• Unless required, we suggest keeping the Motion Sensor mounting location at 2M for optimum performance. If you change the mounting height, please conduct detection test to make sure the Motion Sensor can detect intruder normally at the chosen height.
