Bosch RF920 Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions
for the RF920
Passive Infrared Detector
1.0 General Information
The RF920 is a high performance PIR Motion Sensor which uses
advanced signal processing to provide outstanding catch
performance and unsurpassed false alarm immunity. It contains an
integral RF transmitter capable of transmitting at least 500 feet
(150 m) open air. (Actual acceptable transmitter range should be
verified for each installation). The transmitter sends a battery report
with each transmission and transmits a supervisory signal to the
Control Panel every 65 minutes.

3.0 Mounting
3.1 Mounting Considerations
The maximum wireless range of the detector, in open air, is
approximately 500 feet (150 m). In normal residential or
commercial applications it is recommended that the detector
be kept within 100 feet (30 m) of the control panel receiver to
which it is assigned.
It is recommended that the detector be temporarily mounted,
using double sided tape, and tested from the desired location
before permanent mounting.
Do Not mount in areas with large metallic surfaces
(e.g. heating ducts) or electrical wiring which may inhibit the
sensor's RF signals from reaching the Control Panel
Receiver.
Consult the pattern drawings (see Section 6.0) and the
following recommended adjustment table to choose an
appropriate mounting height.
3.875 in. x 2.75 in. x 2.25 in.
(9.8 cm x 7.0 cm x 5.7 cm)
35 ft. x 40 ft. (10 m x 12 m)
0% to 95% relative humidity (non-
condensing). For UL Certificated
Installations, the range is +32°F to
+120°F (0°C to +49°C), 0% to 85%
relative humidity (non-condensing).
Supplied by one 3 VDC lithium battery.
Approximately five years under normal
operating conditions with the
recommended battery types.

3.2 Surface or Corner Mounting (without swivel bracket)
NOTE: Corner Mounting may not be used in Central Station Burglary,
Grades AA and A, Installations.
• Remove the mounting plate (see Figure A) from the PIR Base by
prying it up and out from the bottom.

• If the wall tamper function is required, remove the rectangular
knockout. Locate the small spring in the hardware kit. Hold the PIR
base so the battery is visible. Place the spring on the black plastic
shaft of the wall tamper switch just below the battery.
• Remove the wall tamper bypass jumper (see Figure C) located
next to the walk test switch.
