INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The PIR is designed to give a typical detection range of 12 meters when mounted at 2 meters above
ground. When mounted at 1.9 meters above ground, it gives a typical PET IMMUNE range of 7
meters. As the PIR is higher from above ground, it gives a farther PET IMMUNE range. To take full
advantage of IRP500, the following guidelines should be considered:
It is recommended to install the PIR in the following locations:
Mount the detector at 1.8 M ~ 2.0 M high for best performance:
o
For the most desired performance of IRP500, remember to adjust the height of IRP500 mounting
site respectively to the height of the tallest animal in the house. As the taller than average dogs
require the IRP500 to be mounted higher for the Pet Immunity purpose
o
When deciding on the height of the IRP500 mounting site, remember to take the possible blind
spot into consideration. The blind spot underneath the IRP500 enlarges proportionally to the
height of the IRP500 mounting site.
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.
In a corner to give the widest view.
Where its field of view will not be obstructed e.g. by curtains, ornaments etc.
For a small 3 to 5m room, install between 1.9 to 2m above ground.
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.
WARNINGS
In normal operation condition, on transmission, programming LED / key (figure 3 - d) remains off.
Where, on transmission, the LED goes on red and then green, it indicates that:
the cell is low,
anti-tampering protection is open,
the device is in Test mode (3 minutes)
DEVICE ACQUISITION
Acquire the device as illustrated in control unit installation manual.
