2.0 Hostile Environments
Never install the detector in an environment that causes a constant alarm in one technology; it should never be left to operate with the tri-color LED in a constant green, yellow, or red condition. A detector with one technology in constant alarm, will cause an alarm output whenever the other technology alarms. Good installations start with the LED OFF when there is no target motion. The best installa- tions will have background noise voltages below recommended limits.
parking lots). Remember: Microwave energy will pass through glass and most common non-metallic construction walls.
• Point the unit AWAY from glass exposed to the outdoors and objects that may change temperature rapidly. Remember: The
PIR detector will react to objects rapidly changing temperature within its field-of-view.
• Eliminate interference from nearby outside sources. Complete the walk tests by walking next to the walls where outside traffic may be near the protected area. Observe microwave background noise levels during this final walk test. Make sure a significant increase in voltage does not occur while outside the protected area. If voltage change exceeds 0.75 VDC, reduce range slightly and walk test again.
• Avoid installations where rotating machines (e.g. ceiling fans) are normally in operation within the coverage pattern.
4.0 Mounting
• Select a location likely to intercept an intruder moving across the coverage pattern. The surface should be solid and vibration-free.
Mounting height range is 6 to 8 ft. (1.8 to 2.4 m). Recommended height is 7-1/2 ft. (2.3 m).
• The unit must be mounted so the terminal block is up and the PIR lens is on the bottom.
• Remove the cover. Insert a thin flathead screwdriver into the cover tab hole at the bottom front of the detector. Pull the cover up and forward.

When voltage is applied to terminal 8, any stored alarm is cleared from memory and it is ready to store the next alarm.
When voltage is removed from terminal 8 (disarmed condition), the tri-color LED is enabled, and a stored alarm will cause the tri-color
LED to turn ON red continuously. If there is no stored alarm, the tri-color LED and relay will respond to PIR only; they will activate only during a present alarm.
The Motion Monitor and Anti-Mask pins must be in the OFF position in order for the Microwave Inhibit feature to work.

To adjust the vertical angle, loosen the vertical adjust screw and slide the board up to point the angle down. Note the settings on the vertical adjust scale.
• Place the LED plug in the ON position.
Establishing PIR Pattern Coverage
• Turn the Microwave range adjust to minimum.
• Replace the cover and snap it into place. This will close the tamper switch.
• Wait 2 minutes minimum after applying power to start walk tests.
Note: During the warm-up period, the tri-color LED will flash red until the unit has stabilized and has seen no movement for
2 seconds (approximately 1 to 2 minutes). When the tricolor LED stops flashing, the detector is ready to be tested.
With no motion in the protection area, the tri-color LED should be OFF. If the LED is on, re-check the protection area for disturbances affecting the microwave (yellow) or
PIR (green) technologies.
• Walk test across the pattern at its farthest edge, then several times closer to the detector. Start walking from outside of the intended protection area, and observe the tri-color LED. The edge of the pattern is determined by the first green, PIR activation of the
LED (or the first red activation if the yellow microwave LED activates first).
• Walk test from the opposite direction to determine both boundaries. The center of the pattern should be pointed toward the center of the intended protection area.
• Slowly bring your arm up and into the pattern to mark the lower boundary on PIR alarm. Perform this task at 10 to 20 ft. (3.1 to 6.1
m) from the unit. Repeat from above for the upper boundary. The
center of the pattern should not be tilted upward.
If desired coverage can not be achieved, try angling the coverage pattern up or down to assure the pattern is not aimed too high or low. The angle of the PIR pattern may be vertically positioned between -10
°
and +2
°
by loosening the Vertical Adjust screw
and sliding the circuit board up or down. Moving the board up will angle the pattern downward. Tighten the screw snug
when positioning is completed.
Note: The pattern may also be moved
±
10
°
horizontally by rotating the lens window left or right.
Establishing Microwave Coverage
Note: It is important to wait 1 minute after removing/replacing the cover so the microwave portion of the detector can settle, and to wait at least 10 seconds between the following walk testing procedures.
• The tri-color LED should be OFF before walk testing.
• Walk test across the pattern at the intended coverage’s farthest end. Start walking from outside the intended protection area and observe the tri-color LED. The edge of the microwave pattern is determined by the first yellow, microwave activation of the LED (or the first red activation if the green PIR LED activates first).
• If adequate range can not be reached, increase the Microwave
Range Adjust slightly. Continue walk testing (waiting 1 minute after removing/replacing the cover) and adjusting the range until the farthest edge of desired coverage has been accurately placed.
Do not adjust the microwave range higher than required.
Doing so will enable the detector to catch movement outside
of the intended coverage pattern.
• Walk test the unit from all directions to determine all the detection pattern boundaries. Wait at least 10 seconds between walk tests.
Establishing Detector Coverage
• The tri-color LED should be OFF before walk testing.
• Walk test the unit from all directions to determine the detection boundaries. A detector alarm is signaled by the first red activation of the tri-color LED after an initial green or yellow activation.
9.0 Meter Tests
A 20,000 Ohm/Volt (or greater) analog DC VOM is recommended. Set the meter scale for 5 VDC (Use of the TC6000 is recommended, but is not essential for meter use. Either outside connector pin of the
TC6000 may be used for common.).
PIR Meter Readings
TC6000
W R
- + -
B
• Connect the meter to the PIR Noise Voltage Pins.
• With no target motion in the pattern, read the voltage. The base reference level for PIR background noise is approx. 1.0 VDC.
Installations in quiet environments, therefore, should result in a steady meter reading between 0.9 and 1.1 VDC.
• Walk test across the farthest edge of the coverage pattern. Make sure the detector’s cover is on.
Voltage changes greater than +0.75 VDC from the reference level during walk tests are desirable. If changes are less than 0.75
VDC, the detector may fail to respond at this far of a distance if the temperature difference between the intruder and the background is minimal. Try adjusting the unit up and down to maximize the voltage change during walk tests.
• Turn on all heating/cooling sources that will be in operation during times of protection. Stand away from the unit and outside the protection pattern, then monitor background noise for at least 3 minutes.
Readings should not deviate more than 0.15 VDC from the reference level. If they do, eliminate the cause or reposition the pattern (observe readings while turning on and turning off these sources as well as during the three minute interval).
Microwave Meter Readings
• Connect the meter to the Microwave (
µ w) Noise Voltage Pins.
• With no target motion in the pattern, read the voltage. The background noise voltage should be steady, and should not exceed 0.75 VDC. If it does, the cause of the disturbance should be found and eliminated.
Note: Remember that microwaves penetrate non-metallic surfaces. Movement on the other side of walls and doors viewed by the detector could cause unexpected background noise readings.

10.0 Supervision Features
The supervision features function as follows:
• PIR/Microwave: The complete circuit operation of these subsystems is checked approximately every 12 hours. If the PIR or microwave subsystems fail, the tri-color LED will flash red 4 times per cycle and the unit should be replaced.
• Default: The detector will default to PIR technology protection if the microwave subsystem fails. The PIR signal processing will automatically change from INT to STD sensitivity.
• Trouble Clear: An intrusion alarm will reset most existing supervision trouble conditions. There must be at least 10 seconds of no activity (no alarm) prior to the detector alarm. Self-Test failures will not be cleared; the detector must be replaced.
• Anti-Masking: When enabled, the detector will indicate an Anti-
Mask supervision trouble condition if a microwave reflective material (e.g. metal, most plastics, etc.) is placed within one foot of the detector. This feature can be used to prevent intentional and accidental masking of the face of the detector. It is enabled or disabled using the Motion Monitor and Anti-Mask Pins.
Note: The Anti-Masking feature may interpret removal and/or replacement of the cover as an attempt to mask the detector and may signal a supervision trouble condition. If this should occur, reset the detector by removing and then re-applying its power. The trouble condition will also be reset by the next detector alarm after a 10 second period of no alarms from either technology.
• Motion Monitor Supervision: This feature verifies that each technology has a clear view of the detection area. When selected, a supervision timer is activated which gives the detector the ability to indicate a supervision trouble condition if the time selected by the pins has elapsed since the last detector alarm.
If the Memory feature is used, the motion monitor time period will be increased by the amount of time the detector is in the disarm condition.
If the detector does not see a detector alarm within the selected time period, the tri-color LED will flash red 2 times to indicate a supervision trouble condition and the Trouble output will activate.
11.0 Other Information
Maintenance
At least once a year, the range and coverage should be verified. To ensure continual daily operation, the end user should be instructed to walk through the far end of the coverage pattern. This ensures an alarm output prior to arming the system.
Pattern Masking
The PIR coverage pattern may be masked using masking tape or electrical tape on the inside of the lens. Always walk test for the desired coverage after masking.
Note: Masking only eliminates the PIR portion of the coverage and has no effect on the microwave patterns.
