CINCH RF-ARPIR-319-NN 319 MHz Wireless PIR Motion Detector Instruction Manual

CINCH RF-ARPIR-319-NN 319 MHz Wireless PIR Motion Detector Instruction Manual

Introduction

A motion sensor (passive-infrared or PIR) detects movement within a specific area by sensing the infrared energy emitted from a body as it moves across the sensor’s field of view. When this motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm signal to the control panel.

Use a motion sensor to protect locations where door/window sensors are impractical or not needed. For example, use a motion sensor to protect large areas or open floor plans. Motion sensors also provide backup protection for door/window sensors.

Alarm Processing:
The RF-ARPIR-319-NN utilizes advanced signal processing, and a top-quality infrared detector. Next, a patented modern
DSP ASIC directly converts the infrared detector signal into digital form, for best reliability and stability.

Pet Immunity:
The RF-ARPIR-319-NN is designed to allow the presence of pets (up to 22 lbs.) without signaling an alarm. It includes a special micro-element lens array that produces much stronger optical signals for humans than for pets 22 lbs. or lighter.

NOTE: Pets come in many varieties. Some pets (especially larger ones with very short hair), even if lighter than 22 lbs. may produce enough infrared radiation to cause alarms. RF-ARPIR319-NN users are strongly advised to test the sensor with their own pets, in order to verify that the detector will not signal an alarm when their pets are moving within its fields of view.

Installation

If you have a pet, this PIR was designed for indoor use in the presence of pets having a combined weight of up to 22 pounds.
The following installation guidelines must be met to provide this false alarm immunity.

• The sensor must be incline-mounted on a wall surface or incline mounted in a corner at a mounting height of 7.5 feet (2.3 m)
• The sensitivity switch must be set to Standard.
• The pet must not be allowed to climb on objects such as furniture, boxes, etc. within the field of coverage.
• Room temperature must be kept between 60º and 120° F(16º and 49º C).
• Do not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air conditioners, area heaters, forced air heating vents, or place it in direct sunlight.
• Windows should be closed in any area which has an armed motion sensor.
• Position the sensor to protect an area where an intruder would be most likely to walk across the detection pattern.
• Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free from vibrations.
• Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a corner. Do not set it on a shelf.
• Mount the motion sensor on an insulated, outside wall facing in.
• Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point, like a wall. If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet (30.5 m) of the panel. While a transmitter may have a range of 500 feet (152 m) or more out in the open, the environment at theinstallation site can have a significant effect on transmitter range. Sometimes a change in sensor location can help overcome adverse wireless conditions.
• Do not mount the sensor near duct work or other large metallic surfaces which may affect the RF signals (see “Walk Testing” on page 2). Actual acceptable transmitter range should be verified for each installation.

Mounting Location

A. Wall mounting:

1. Sensor base fastened flat on vertical wall (± 2 degrees).

B. All mounting:

1. Height = 2.3 m or 3m above floor of monitored area.

2. Clear line-of-sight from sensor to monitored area
   Note: glass will block sensor’s view.

3. Wall temperature similar to walls/floor of monitored area.

4. Sensor aimed away from windows and reflected sunlight.

5. Sensor aimed away from heaters or heater/cooler outlets.

6. Sensor aimed so that likely intruder paths cross three views.

Sensor Disassembly

Use screwdriver to push inward the latch at the bottom of the detector (1.) On cover latch. (2.) Remove cover.

Detector Base Mounting

Identify necessary holes;

1. For wall mounting knock out hole covers.
2. For corner or 45 degree wall mounting, use drill to open at least two holes at base side depressions.

Wall mounting

Use screws to mount on wall or in corner.

Battery Installation:

Place a CR123 battery in the battery holder. Be sure that the (+) is in the correct position.

Sensitivity setting:

With standard sensitivity, detection occurs in 3 to 5 steps. With high sensitivity, detection occurs in 2 to 4 steps.

For Normal Sensitivity: Place jumper on 1-3 (3-5 steps)
For High Sensitivity: Place jumper on 1-2 (2-4 steps)

Programming

For complete programming information, refer to the specific control panel documentation.

To add the sensor to panel memory:

1. Place the panel in program mode.
2. Proceed to the section in programming for enrolling wireless sensors.
3. When the panel prompts enter the senor ID# or trip the sensors tamper, to trip the tamper remove the motions cover.
4. Exit Program Mode.

Testing

Walk testing

Enable the LED (J1 in its “LED” position). Walk across the monitored area (within the sensor’s optical fields-of-view). The LED should turn ON (for Alarm) after about two to four normal steps. Each time the LED turns ON, wait for it to turn OFF. Then, wait 12 seconds before continuing the walk-test. When there is no motion in the monitored area, the LED should remain OFF.

Walk testing should be done to determine the sensor’s actual coverage area. The edge of the coverage pattern is determined by the LED. This may change slightly depending upon the sensitivity setting. Walk test the unit from both directions to determine the pattern boundaries.

Caution: Excessive use of the walk test mode may reduce battery life. Use only for initial setup and maintenance testing.

Operation

3-minute lockout – to conserve battery life the detector has a 3-minute lockout between motion detections
Unless the jumper is installed the red LED will not light during motion detection.
Note: Leaving the LED jumper installed will greatly reduce the detectors’ battery life

Replacing the Battery

Battery life depends on how often the detector transmits signals, but is more dependent on the temperature of the installation environment. When the battery voltage gets low, the detector transmits a low battery signal to the panel. The panel then activates trouble beeps to notify the customer that the detector battery must be replaced. Pressing the status button identifies the sensor with the low battery.

Replace the battery immediately when this condition occurs, using the following battery: Panasonic CR123A 3V

The batteries used in this sensor are lithium batteries and are not reusable. Be sure to properly dispose of used lithium batteries according to your local hazardous waste disposal laws.
