Iiquu SENSOR ALARM Installation And Operating Instructions

FOREWORD

This stand-alone alarm unit will help you protect and safeguard almost any location you want. It's easy to install and totally wireless.

Sensor Alarm Unit, remote Control, instructions, mounting bracket
and batteries.

HOW IT WORKS

The PIR sensor is a passive infrared motion sensor, meaning it detects infrared radiation rather than projecting it (unlike a security camera with infrared night vision, which is active infrared). All objects emit this infrared radiation (we commonly call it "heat") and the infrared sensor looks for any of this radiation which moves. The passive sensor is not infallible – in particular, it cannot detect objects/people which are the same temperature as their background. So a human being moving about on an extremely hot day might go unnoticed. Also, a security camera with active infrared night vision in the same vicinity as the infrared sensor may give false alarms (particularly if it is a moving PTZ system)

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

When the batteries in the alarm unit are running out, the LED on the front of the alarm unit will flash slowly (more slowly than during the arming delay). If the LED starts flashing in this way, change the batteries immediately.

REPLACING BATTERIES

• Remove the sensor from its mounting bracket.
• On the rear side of the sensor, locate the battery compartment.
• Remove batteries
• Insert three fresh AA batteries. Do not mix battery types, and do not use rechargeable batteries.

RE-PAIRING REMOTE CONTROL

If you find that the remote control isn't operating properly, this indicates that the remote control might need to be paired up again with the alarm unit. This is most likely to happen when the batteries are changed in the alarm unit - the temporary lack of power clears the sensor's memory.

1. Remove the alarm unit from the mounting bracket.
2. Locate and push the button on the rear of the unit labeled "LEARN". The button is recessed, so you'll need a thin screwdriver or similar to push it.
3. The LED on the front of the alarm unit will flash slowly, indicating that the sensor is in Learning Mode.
4. Press any button on the remote control. The alarm unit will beep to confirm the pairing worked.

REMOTE CONTROL

OPERATING THE SENSOR ALARM

ALARM / CHIME MODE
The switch to select the mode the sensor operates can be found on the side of the remote control, as shown to the left.

Alarm Mode:When the sensor detects movement whilst the unit is in alarm mode, it will not activate immediately. There is a thirty seconds delay, to allow you to use the remote control to disarm the sensor before it goes off. If the alarm unit is not disarmed within this thirty seconds delay, then the alarm will sound at full volume. The alarm can still be disarmed whilst the alarm is sounding by pressing the disarm button on the remote control.

Chime Mode:When the sensor detects movement when in chime mode, it will sound a chime instantly.
There is no entry delay nor exit delay. After the chime sounds, there is a short (a few seconds) delay before it can be sounded again to prevent is sounding constantly if, for example, someone were to be standing in the detection range.

ARMING AND DISARMING THE SYSTEM

To arm the system, simply press ARM on the remote control. The system will arm into whichever mode is currently selected on the remote control. To disarm the system, press the DISARM button. The DISARM button will disarm the alarm unit whether it is in Chime Mode or Alarm Mode.

Entry and Exit Delays
Once you've armed the alarm unit, it will enter the arming delay. This period consists of forty-five seconds, during which time the LED on the front face of the alarm unit will flash. After the arming delay has elapsed, the alarm unit will beep once, indicating that it is armed. Should the alarm be tripped (that is, it detects something) it will not sound instantly. Rather, there is a further thirty seconds delay, to give you time to disarm the system before the siren sounds.

DETECTION AREA

Detection Area
The PIR sensor has a 360 degree detection field horizontally, and slightly more than 100 degrees vertically. The diagram below shows an average detection pattern under typical circumstances. The effective detection area does depend on the height of the ceiling that the alarm unit is mounted on. As a general rule, the effective detection radius when mounted on a ceiling of average height is approximately 9ft/3m.

You can test the functionality of the motion sensor as well as the detection area by setting up the sensor, setting it to chime mode and then moving about in the area you want to protect. It will chime each time it detects movement, allowing you to obtain an accurate impression of it's field of view. Note that the effective detection range may change in different environmental conditions, particularly during very hot periods.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOUNTING
To mount the PIR alarm unit, you'll need the following tools:

The PIR alarm unit should be mounted on a ceiling between 6ft/2m and 9ft/3m high for maximum coverage and reliability. Do not mount the PIR on a ceiling higher than 4m, as the sensor's range will not reach the ground, and will not be able to detect the heat of a single human body reliably.

You could conceivably mount the alarm unit on a wall. The alarm would still work, though the field of view isn't particularly suited to this application. Under most circumstances, a more focused PIR sensor designed to be wall mounted would be more appropriate for that purpose.

To mount the alarm unit
The PIR sensor mounts in much the same way as a cordless smoke alarm. A circular bracket is attached to the ceiling by screws, and then the main alarm unit is attached to this bracket.

MAINTENANCE

To clean the unit housing, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and wipe dry. Do not use chemical agents as this may damage and discolor the unit.

Risk of personal injury

• Prolonged exposure to alarm siren may cause permanent hearing loss.

Battery Warning:

For indoor use only; do not use in wet locations.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Remote Control not operating

PIR Alarm Unit not operating

• Batteries low, flat, missing or are incorrectly fitted.

PIR causing false alarm

• PIR badly positioned, (e.g. in direct sunlight, draughts and above a radiator etc.).

DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING

At the end of their useful life the packaging and product should be disposed of via a suitable Recycling Centre.
Do not dispose of with your normal household waste.
DO NOT BURN.
