This installation guide assumes that you already have experience in Marine installations. Installing any system in any boat
requires a level of knowledge of your boats electrical systems prior to starting. If in doubt please have a professional installer
complete the installation for you.

12mm drill bit
•
Automotive crimpers
•
Phillips head screw driver
•
Flat screwdriver

Mounting the Control unit
The control unit can be mounted in any location protected from the elements within the boat and with any physical orientation It is
a good idea to firstly check the cable length for the strobe (if not using extensions) and decide both the strobe and control unit
positions based on this and the ability to run the cable. Also ensure that you have the ability to run cables to and from the control
unit as required.
The Control unit is attached with 4x suitable screws on the end plates.
Installing the PIR
The RV PIR can be mounted in a variety of positions due to its unique ability to work through multiple planes. It is good practice to
firstly test the operation of the PIR in the chosen position before a final decision is made to install, ensuring suitable operation.
To install the PIR
1. Open the battery compartment at the rear and install the batteries
2. Mount the bracket in the chosen position
3. Clip the PIR on the bracket
4. When ready, power up, add sensor to control unit and then test.
Installing the Strobe
The strobe is an external blue warning strobe and comes as a "plug n play" unit. Once installed simply plug it in to the control unit.
1. Drill an 12mm hole to allow for the cable and plug to run through
2. When in position, drill the holes for the two fixing screws
3. Apply silicone sealant to the rear of the strobe and then mount and screw the strobe to the wall
4. Apply silicone sealant around where the surround meets the wall to ensure it is water tight
5. Plug the strobe into the control unit
Strobe extensions (3m and 5m) are available if required.
As with any external item fitted to a Boat, be generous with the amount of silicone applied to ensure it is water tight. All external
fixings / silicone's should be inspected bi annually at a minimum to ensure there continued function and water seal.
