Climax IR-31 PIR Motion Sensor User Manual

Climax IR-31 PIR Motion Sensor

instructions

• The PIR detects infrared signature to pick up movements within an assigned area and signals the Control Panel to activate the alarm if an intruder crosses its’ path of detection.
• The PIR consists of a two-part design made up of a cover and a base. The cover contains all the electronics and optics and the base provides a means of fixing. The base has knockouts to allow mounting on either a flat surface or in a corner situation
• The PIR has a tamper switch which will be activated when the cover is opened. It can also alert you to signal communication problems and low battery situations.
• The PIR is designed to give a typical detection range of 10 meters when mounted at 2.5 meters above the ground.
• The PIR sensor also supports pet immunity feature and will not detect pets of up to 50 cm/20 kg to minimize false alarm situation.

The IR-31 Series PIR Sensor includes the following models:

• IR-31 – PIR Motion Detector powered by two Alkaline batteries
• IR-31SL – PIR Motion Detector powered by one CR123 battery
• IR-31SSL – PIR Motion Detector powered by two CR123 batteries.

Identifying the Parts

1. Test Button
   The test button is used for testing the radio performance and for learning purposes.

2. IR Sensor

3. LED Indicator
   The LED indicator is used to indicate the status of the system.

4. Bottom Fixing Screw

5. Tamper Switch
   The Tamper switch protects the PIR from unauthorized cover opening.

6. Pet Immunity Enable/Disable Jumper Switch (JP3)

Jumper On
The jumper link is inserted connecting the two pins

Jumper Off
If the jumper link is removed or “parked” on one pin.

• When set as ON, Pet Immunity is disabled.
• When set as OFF, Pet Immunity is enabled. (Factory default)

Sensitivity Increaser Jumper Switch (JP4)

• * When set as ON, the PIR’s detection sensitivity is high.

  • When set as OFF, the PIR’s detection sensitivity is in normal level. (Factory default)

• Sleep Timer
  The PIR has a “sleep time” of approximately 1 minute to conserve power. After transmitting a detected movement, the PIR will not retransmit for 1 minute; any further movement detected during this sleep period will extend the sleep time by another minute. In this way continuous movement in front of a PIR will not unduly exhaust the battery.

• Supervision Function
  When the PIR is in Normal operation mode, it will conduct a Self-test Periodically by transmitting a supervisory signal once every 90 to 110 minutes.
  If the Control Panel fails to receive the Supervisory signals transmitted from a certain PIR for a preset time, an “Out-Of-Order” fault message will be generated.

• Pet Immunity Function
  The PIR sensor supports pet immunity feature and will not detect pets of up to 50 cm/20 kg to minimize false alarm situation. The Pet Immunity function can be enabled/disabled by setting the Jumper Switch (JP3) position. When the Jumper Switch (JP3) is set to ON, Pet Immunity is disabled. When the Jumper Switch (JP3) is set to OFF, Pet Immunity is enabled. (Factory default).

Sensitivity Increaser Function

You can use the sensitivity increaser function to increase the PIR’s detection sensitivity. To increase detection sensitivity, set the Jumper Switch (JP4) to ON. To maintain normal detection sensitivity, set the the Jumper Switch (JP4) to OFF (Factory default).

• Test Mode
  The PIR can be put into Test mode by pressing the Test Button. In Test mode, it will disable the sleep timer and will enable the LED indicator to light up every time a movement is detected. Every time the Test Button is pressed, the PIR will transmit a test signal to the Control Panel for radio range test and enter the test mode for 3 mins. Test Mode will time out after 3 minutes..

• LED Indicator
  In Normal operation mode, the LED Indicator will light up in the following situations:

  • When movement is detected under low battery condition
  • When the cover is opened and the tamper switch is triggered.
  • When movement is detected if the Tamper condition persists.
  • When movement is detected under Test mode
  • When the Test Button is pressed under tamper condition or if PIR is under low battery.
    The LED will not flash if the PIR tamper and battery are normal and PIR is not under test mode,
    If the LED flashes to indicate signal transmission, it will flash twice rapidly upon receiving acknowledgement from panel.

• Battery
  IR-31 Series PIR Motion sensor uses Alkaline or Lithium batteries as power source:

  • The IR-31 model uses two Alkaline AA 1.5 V batteries as power source.
  • The IR-31SL model uses one CR123 3V Lithium battery as power source.
  • The IR-31SSL model uses two CR123 3V Lithium batteries as power source.
    The PIR features low battery detection function. If low battery voltage 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. For each installation, the batteries are installed in by the factory before shipment with an Insulator inserted.
    < NOTE>
    When changing batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the Tamper Switch twice to fully discharge before inserting new batteries.

 Getting Started

• Pull out the battery insulator to activate batteries.
• The LED indicator will flash for 30 seconds. (The PIR is warming up). During the warm up period, the PIR will not be activated. After the warm up period is over, the LED will turn off and the PIR will be ready for operation.
• Put the Control Panel into learning mode, refer to Control Panel manual for details.
• Press the test button.
• Refer to Control Panel manual to complete the learn-in process.
• After the PIR is learned-in, put the Control Panel into “Walk Test” mode, hold the PIR in the desired location, and press the Test button to confirm this location is within signal range of the Control Panel, refer to Control Panel manual to complete Walk Test.
• When you are satisfied that the PIR works in the chosen location, you can proceed to mount.

Mounting Method

• The PIR is designed to be mounted on either a flat surface or in a corner situation with fixing screws and plugs provided.

• The base 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.

• For corner mounting, a triangular bracket is provided to add Back Tamper Protection. The bracket also includes two knockouts to mount on the wall.

Installation

• Decide on the location of the PIR and if it is to be corner or surface mounted.

• After the installation site is selected, follow the steps described above to mount the PIR.

• Press the Test Button to enter Test Mode. Walk around the protected area noting when the LED lights up and check that the detection coverage is adequate.

• When detection coverage is found to be satisfying, installation is now completed.

• Installation Recommendations
  The PIR is designed to give a typical detection range of 10 meters when mounted at 2.3-2.5 meters above ground. When the Pet-Immunity function is enabled, it will not detect pets of up to 50 cm/20 kg when mounted at 2.3-2.5 meters above ground. To take full advantage of PIR, the following guidelines should be considered:

• It is recommended to install the PIR in the following locations

• Mount the detector at 2.3M-2.5M height for best performance:

  • Please note that performance is affected by external factors, such as height of detected object, desired detection range, installation area…etc.
  • When IR-31 is mounted with rotating bracket, it will not have the regular detection area (as in the above diagram), or the typical pet immue range.

• Mount where the animals cannot come to the detection area by climbing on furniture or other objects.

• Don’t aim the detector at stairways the animals can climb on.

• In a position such that an intruder would normally move across the PIR’s field of view from side to side.

• In a corner to give the widest view.

• Where its field of view will not be obstructed e.g. by curtains, ornaments etc.

Limitations

• Do not position a PIR to look directly at a door protected by a Door Contact, this could cause the Door Contact and PIR radio signals to be transmitted at the same instant when entering, canceling each other out.
• Do not install the PIR completely exposed to direct sunlight.
• Avoid installing the PIR in areas where devices may cause rapid change of temperature in the detection area, i.e. air conditioner, heaters, etc.
• Avoid large obstacles in the detection area.
• Not pointing directly at sources of heat e.g. fires or boilers, and not above radiators.
• Avoid moving objects in the detection area i.e. curtain, wall hanging etc.
