Thank you for your purchase of this TAKEX passive infrared sensor.
This sensor will provide a long and dependable service when properly installed. Please read this Instruction Manual carefully for correct
and effective use.
: This sensor is designed to detect intrusion and to initiate an alarm; it is not a burglary-preventing device. TAKEX is not  
responsible for any damage, injury, or loss caused by accident, theft, Acts of God (including lightning), abuse, misuse,
abnormal usage, faulty installation or improper maintenance.
The dual zone outdoor PIR is an automatic switch which uses passive infrared technology to detect infrared emitted from a human (body
temperature). Suitable for indoor/outdoor use, this sensor provides detection coverage of 12 m×180 degrees, with independent outputs for
alarm and external devices per left/right (90 degree) side, adjustable individually.
This indicates the possibility of severe injury, and even death, if ignored or a user handles the unit incorrectly.
Do not disassemble or alter this product.
Immediately stop power supply in the event of abnormal condition.
Do not connect devices which exceed the capacitance of this sensor.
Strictly obseve the specified vlotage (9 to 28V DC).
This indicates the possibility of minor injury and/or damage to properties, or of a notification delay in your system
due to false operations and/or non-detection, if ignored or a user handles the unit incorrectly.
Avoid electrical noise
Avoid spraying water with a
hose
Install perpendicularly

  • Page 3 * Use the pole attachment BP-32 sold separately. (for pole dia 38mm to 45mm (1.50" to 1.77")) (1) Break off the pole mounting knockouts. (2) Fit the pole mounting brackets to the sensor. (3) Select Active or Inactive Back Tamper by reversing the rubber switch cover. (4) Use sealant to caulk the screw hole and the gap around wiring entry.
  • Page 4: Important Notes

    Make necessary area masking Set the pulse count to 1 IMPORTANT NOTES Detection range/sensitivity may change depending on the following factors: ・Small difference of temperature between object and surroundings. ・Movement direction of the object. ・Mounting height. ・Mounting orientation. ・Slope in detection area. Alarm signal is issued only when both horizontal and downward zones detect objects.
  • Page 5 (1) Pull out the area masking sheet from cover. (2) Bend or cut off the sheet to adjust it to the masking area. (3) Clip the mask to the protruding hooks around the optical unit. - In case of wall detection, set the pulse count to 1. - Carry out a walk test and check the detection area.
