Product Summary
The AP750W Wireless PIR (passive-infrared) Motion Sensor
detects movement by sensing the infrared energy emitted
from a body as it moves across its field of view. When this
motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm signal.
Install motion sensors to protect areas where door/window
sensors are impractical or not needed. For example, use a
motion sensor to protect large areas or open floor plans.
Motion sensors can also provide backup protection in areas
where door/window sensors exist.

This wireless motion sensor includes the following features:
Field-selectable coverage area; 33 or 50 feet
Field-selectable sensitivity modes; 2-pulse or 4-pulse
135-second transmitter lockout time after an alarm that
helps extend battery life
Cover-activated tamper
Supervisory signal transmitted every 64 minutes to the
control panel
Sensor low battery reports (trouble) to the control panel
Included with the sensor is a thin cardboard under-crawl
mask and snap-in plastic masks (installed at the factory).
Self-adhesive masking strips are also included.
Installation Guidelines
If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of the panel. While
a transmitter may have an open-air range of 500 feet or
more, the installation site can have a significant effect on
transmitter range. Changing the sensor location may help
overcome adverse wireless conditions.
Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a
corner. Do not set it on a shelf.
For installations without pets, the required mounting
height is 7½ feet.
Mount the motion sensor on an insulated, outside wall
facing in.
Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free
from vibrations.
Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point,
like a wall.
Do not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air
conditioners, heaters/heating vents, or place it in direct
sunlight.
Position the sensor to protect an area where intruders
are most likely to walk across the detection pattern (see
Figure 1: Overhead View Walking Across Detection
Pattern).
