TOWER 10 AM, TOWER 12 AM [GRADE 3]

EN: Yellow, red & green LEDs

INTRODUCTION

The TOWER 10 AM PIR and TOWER 12 AM Dual Technology are professional vandal resistance Anti-Masking detectors designed for large commercial and industrial applications providing wide coverage with superior resistance to harsh environment, employing several revolutionary patented technologies.

Features

• V-slot mechanical robustness and protection from false alarms (patent pending).

• “Obsidian Black Mirrors”™ and “Elliptic / Parabolic Mirror” technology providing over 15,000 LUX resistance to white light and multiple-solid curtain pattern with 50% better sensitivity than comparable mirror optics (several patents pending).

• Adaptive Active Infra-Red Anti-Masking technology providing the most advanced reliable protection against intentional masking attempts (patent pending).

• Optional interchangeable Long-Range Curtain mirror providing 35 m x 2.5 m (115 ft x 8.2 ft) coverage for TOWER-10 and 25 m x 2 m (82 ft x 6.5 ft) coverage for TOWER-12.

Low supply voltage indication.

Remote controlled walk-test input.

Optional mounting brackets.

Selectable range adapted to the protected area size by use of a Range Selector (TOWER 12 AM).

INSTALLATION

General Guidance

(See figure 3)

Installation Procedure

(See figure 4 & 5).

Jumpers setting (See figure 5)

Long Range Mirror mounting

Optional for TOWER-10 AM – See figure 6. For long range mirror, the COUNT (counter) jumper should be set to “LR” position (see fig. 5).

Pet Mask Mounting (optional)

For pet immunity (up to 18Kg/40lb), a special “pet mask” model PET 10/12 should
be mounted on the mirror (see figure 6, step 4a).

Test

1. Power up the system. The LEDs will flash alternately, indicating that the detector is adapting itself to its present surroundings. Stay at least 1m (3ft) away from the detector, until the 60 seconds startup period ends (until the LEDs stop flashing alternately).
2. Enter the detector’s field of view and perform walk test in the entire coverage area, while observing the red LED (see figure 2). For TOWER 12, observe also the green LED for MW and PIR detections (see “LED indications” table in the specifications). The red LED will light for 2-3 seconds each time the alarm output is activated (see figure 2). Important! Instruct the user to perform walk test at least once a week to verify proper operation of the detector.
3. Tape a piece of cardboard to the detector’s front to deliberately mask the optical window. After 30 seconds, the yellow LED should light (the TRB relay drops out).
4. Remove the masking from the detector’s front. The yellow LED should extinguish (after a few seconds)

SPECIAL COMMENTS

Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or may fail to warn
due to: DC power failure / improper connection, tampering with the optical system,
decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures close to that of the human body and
unexpected failure of a component part.

The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to detect intrusion, but is
by no means comprehensive. It is therefore recommended that the detector and the
entire alarm system be checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.
An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be prudent enough to continue insuring their lives
and property, even though they are protected by an alarm system.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment
