PROTECTION PATTERNS FOR OPTIONAL LENSES
No. 199PA, Pet Alley Lens
No. 199LR, Long Range Lens
LIMITATIONS OF THE PIR MOTION DETECTOR
While the Intrusion Detector is a highly reliable intrusion detection
device, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary. Any
Intrusion Detection device is subject to compromise or failure to warn for
a variety of reasons:
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the
designed ranges as diagrammed in this installation manual.
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors do not provide volumetric area
protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion
can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams.
• Passive Infrared Detectors cannot detect motion or intrusion that
takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass
partitions, glass doors, or windows.
• Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material
on the lenses, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce
the detection ability of the Passive Infrared Motion Detector.
• Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however,
as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the
temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection
performance can decrease.
• This Passive Infrared Detector will not operate without the
appropriate battery installed, or if the battery is weak or improperly
connected (i.e., reversed polarity).
• Passive Infrared Detectors, like other electrical devices, are subject to
component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as
long as 10 years, the electronic components in it could fail at any
time.
We have cited some of the most common reasons that a Passive
Infrared Motion Detector can fail to catch intrusion. However, this does
not imply that these are the only reasons, and therefore it is
recommended that weekly testing of this type of unit, in conjunction with
weekly testing of the entire alarm system, be performed to ensure that
the detectors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower
insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act
prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and
property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of
alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about
these developments.
