Visonic TOWER 40 Installation Instructions

TOWER 40
Wireless PowerCode Digital Mirror PIR Detector

1. INTRODUCTION

The TOWER 40 is a microprocessor-controlled wireless digital PIR
detector, designed for easy installation, free of vertical adjustment.
It features parabolic and cylindrical mirrors with uniform detection
sensitivity throughout its operating range, up to 18 meters (59 ft),
with creep zone protection.
The advanced True Motion Recognition™ algorithm (patented)
allows the TOWER 40 to distinguish between true motion of an
intruder and any other disturbances which may cause false alarms.
An on-board motion event jumper determines whether 1 or 2
consecutive motion events trigger an alarm.
The TOWER 40 includes the following features:
• Incorporating patent pending black mirrors for extremely high
white light immunity.
• Advanced elliptical / parabolic mirror technology (patent
pending).
• Provides multiple curtain coverage (patent pending).
• V-slot® optic technology (patent pending) for improved
robustness, anti-vandalism and for very high reliability.
• The entire electronic circuit is enclosed in the front cover with
the optics. The sensor element is isolated from gusts of wind
and insects.

ELECTRICAL
Internal Battery: 3V Lithium
battery, type CR-123A. For UL
installations, use Panasonic
Sanyo only (EN50131-6 type C).
Nominal Battery Capacity:
1400 mA/h.
Battery Life (with LED on):
Typically over 3 years.
Battery Power Test: Performed immediately upon battery
insertion and periodically after every several hours.
FUNCTIONAL
True Motion Event Verification: 2 position selector - 1 (OFF) or
2 (ON) motion events.
Visual Indications:
LED Lights for about 3 seconds upon transmission of alarm &
tamper messages and upon motion detection in the walk test
mode.
LED Flashes during the power-up stabilization period, or after
restoring (pressing) the tamper switch.
LED does not light upon transmission of supervision
messages.
