Overview 1. Overview The Essence Passive Infrared Detector (PIR) is a battery operated, bi-directional, wireless motion detector. The PIR has the following features: A maximum detection angle of 105° horizontal, 80° vertical A maximum detection range of 12 m (40 ft.) ...
Installation Preparation 2. Installation Preparation The following are the steps and processes to prepare for the installation of the PIR. 2.1. Required Equipment Before beginning, prepare the following equipment: Double-sided adhesive mounting tape - provided. One 3V CR123A Lithium battery that has a nominal battery life of 3 years NOTE: To comply with the UL certification standards, use GP International Ltd.
Installation Preparation A “Combined Bathroom” is a bathroom that includes a toilet. Because this type of bathroom includes two types of activities, it is important to ensure that both activities are monitored separately. If there is a “Combined Bathroom” on the premises, you must install special equipment into the restroom PIR, to capture the restroom activities.

Installation Preparation Avoid installing a PIR directly opposite a door. For example, when the Resident passes the open bathroom door through the hallway, if the bathroom PIR is installed facing the door, the PIR sends a bathroom event to the CP reporting that the Resident is entering the bathroom.
Installation 3. Installation The floor plan of the Resident’s premises determines the installation of the PIR. The life style of the Resident can require special equipment, such as: Pet Immune lens Optical Limiter For information about the special equipment and installation instructions, see chapter 4 on page 13. This chapter defines the: ...

Installation 10. If the PIR is not from the Care@Home ™ kit, ensure that the pairing process is successful. The process can have the following results: If the pairing process is successful, the CP beeps and the ring, around the CP EMERGENCY button, blinks Blue three times.
Installation Figure 9: PIR with Lens Pointing Downward 3.2. “Walk Test” Mode A Walk Test is a function and signal verification check. The test is used to determine the detection area of the PIR. The Walk Test mode starts automatically after the PIR powers up, such as: ...
Installing Special Equipment 4. Installing Special Equipment When installing the Pro or Family systems, there are situations that require special equipment so that the activity events are recognized correctly by the analytics algorithm. If the premises includes rooms that “combine activities”, such as a bathroom with a toilet, you can install special equipment to prevent overlapping coverage areas.

Installing Special Equipment 2. If there are screws in the back cover, unscrew the two screws above the battery compartment at the top of the back cover, as shown in Figure 10 below. Figure 10: Unscrew the Screws 3. Holding the back cover upright, insert a flat screwdriver between the lock tab of the front panel and the top of the back cover, as shown in Figure 11 below, pushing downward on the inner latch tab, to release the back cover from the front panel.
Installing Special Equipment Back Cover Latch Tab Front Panel Lock Tab Figure 12: PIR: The Tabs of the Front Panel and Back Cover 4.1.2 Closing the PIR To close the PIR, perform the following procedure: 1. Insert the tabs, at the bottom end of the front panel, into the inner square slots, at the bottom end of the back cover, as illustrated in Figure 13 below.
Installing Special Equipment 6. Return the PIR onto the mounting-base such that the lens is pointing downward. 4.2. Pet Immune Lens Figure 14 below shows the pet immune lens. The purpose of the pet immune lens is to reduce false detections by suppressing motion detections of small objects such as pets.

Installing Special Equipment Figure 15: PIR Lens Latch Tabs 3. The outer lens should fall free of the PIR when the latch tabs are released. If the outer lens is not released, insert a dull thin object through the oval opening and gently push the outer lens and release it, as illustrated in Figure 16 below.
Installing Special Equipment 5. Insert the outer lens in the groove surrounding the opening for the lenses, placing the PIR outer lens on top of the pet immune lens, as shown in Figure 18 below. Insert the latch tabs at the bottom center and at the side of the outer lens into the latch tab openings on the PIR opening for the lenses.

Installing Special Equipment Figure 20 below illustrates a possible solution for installation in a combined bathroom. PIR with Optical Limiter PIR for standard coverage area Figure 20: Combined Bathroom Installation For a PIR with an optical limiter, the coverage area radius is 0.25 of the installation height. Table 1 below lists examples of the coverage area for a PIR depending on its installation height.
Page 20
Installing Special Equipment 3. Depress the limiter until it completely fits into place, as shown in Figure 22 below. Otherwise, the PIR cannot close properly. Figure 22: Optical Limiter installed in PIR 4. Close the PIR according to the instructions in section 4.1.2 on page 15. 5.
Operation 5. Operation The PIR is a passive device. The PIR must perform its detection functionality unhindered and with an unobstructed view of the coverage area. 5.1. PIR Physical Attributes LED Indicator DragonflyEye lens ™ Figure 23: PIR Physical Attributes The LED lights up whenever motion is detected or a tamper event occurs.
Operation For information about configuring the PIR parameters, see the Care@Home CMS User Guide for the ™ version of Care@Home ™ system installed on your Resident’s premises. 5.3. Supervision The PIR is a supervised device. The PIR periodically transmits its status, via an “I’m alive” message, to the CP.
Maintenance 6. Maintenance Maintenance of the PIR involves replacing batteries. 6.1. Replacing the Battery The battery status is reported automatically to the monitoring station via the CP. When the status indicates that the battery charge is low, the battery must be replaced. WARNING! A new battery can explode if it is incorrectly installed.
Page 24
Maintenance 2. Remove the battery cover, by pressing down and pushing the cover off the device, as shown in Figure 25 below. Figure 25: Remove Battery Compartment Cover 3. Remove the old battery. 4. Shake the PIR gently until you hear rattling sounds, confirming the release of residual circuit or energy.
