Compact Entry Detector

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AM490

INTRODUCTION

The Arlec Compact Entry Detector is a compact, passive infrared sensor alarm which provides reliable detection 24 hours a day providing security, safety and convenience. The detector can be used in two different modes, chime or alarm. The chime provides a ding-dong sound when detection is made. In the alarm position a continuous siren sounds for approximately

15 seconds, resets automatically and then sounds again if further movement is detected.

INSTALLATION

1. Remove battery cover and place 9 volt battery in compartment (suitable for use with Arlec

Rechargeable battery(BSP9V). The unit can also operate from a mains adaptor if 240 volt mains power is desired.

2. Select location and mount bracket with double sided foam tape or use screws provided.

(Bracket can be unclipped from the sensor for screw mounting.)

3. Adjust sensor position to cover desired detection area.

4. Switch on detector to either chime or alarm. The unit is now set, and has an in built time delay of approximately 20 seconds to allow you to move away. When set on the unit will chime immediately to signify the start of the 20 second delay period.

USER HINTS

1. For doorway entry, mount the detector vertically to cover a narrow detection area and set to chimes (Fig. 01).

2. For alarm operation, mount the detector horizontally to cover a wide detection area (Fig. 02).

3. Not recommended to operate through glass (for applications where detection through glass is required we recommend

Arlec Security Beam AM471.)

4. Do not install your Entry Detector where it can be exposed to direct sunlight.

5. Do not install on or near heat sources such as radiators, bright lights or near cook tops or stove. The indirect heat may cause the alarm to activate.

6. Avoid installing your Entry Detector where severe changes in ambient temperatures may occur.

7. On very hot days the sensitivity may be decreased due to the ambient temperature being closer to normal body temperature, this is unavoidable. On very cold days the sensitivity may also be affected when people are wearing extra clothes and therefore emitting less body heat for the sensor to detect.
