TOWER 20 AM
Outdoor Octa-Quad Mirror Detector with Anti-Mask
1. INTRODUCTION
Detector's Features
 Patented 8 independent quad PIR detectors (Octa-QUAD)
operating in true Quad configuration with true motion recognition
(TMR) processing for each of the 8 PIR detectors and central
motion processing - can distinguish between a moving intruder and
moving trees and bushes.
 Advance Obsidian Black Mirror
 High protection against snow, rain, dust, wind and direct sunlight.
 Tamper protection against opening and removal from wall.
 Alarm LED is visible in sunlight.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 DIP Switches Setup
Remove the 2 detector's bottom covers (see Figure 3, steps 4-8) to gain
access to the DIP switches. Set the DIP switches, according to Table 1:
Table 1 – DIP Switch Setup

* Switching from OFF to ON resets the detector for a stabilization
period of 60 sec. and causes the detector to re-adapt to its
current surroundings. Remain at a distance of at least 0.5 m (1.5
ft.) from the detector to prevent disruption of this process.
** Use ON for EN approved control panels / installations. However,
many installers prefer not to have the ALARM relay opened on a
masking event.

3.2 Installation
Bracket installation (see figure 3) – firmly fix the bracket on a stable
wall or pillar. The orientation of the fixed bracket should be as parallel
as possible to the surveyed ground surface.
3.3 Wiring
Perform wiring (see figure 3, step 8 - 10)
3.4 Adjustments
Adjust detector's horizontal and vertical angles (see Fig. 4, steps 1 - 6),
according to the surveyed ground surface and close the detector, as
shown in Fig. 3, steps 7 - 12.
The vertical angle indicator position for various installation height and
coverage distance combinations is detailed in Table 2 (the
information refers to a relatively flat surveyed area. however, in any
case the vertical adjustment should be verified by walk-test).

3.5 Test
A. The detector enters Walk-Test mode after one of the following
occurs:
o The 60-second stabilization period ends.
o DIP-SW1 position changes from OFF to ON.
o TST input state changes from OFF to ON.
