VIDICON IX Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IX
DIGITAL PIR & MICROWAVE
DETECTOR With
PET IMMUNITY up to 25 kg
SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION
Choose a location most likely to intercept an intruder.
See detection pattern fig. 1 and fig.2.
The IX performs best when provided with a constant and
stable environment and background.
The quad-element high quality sensor detects motion
crossing the beam; it is slightly less sensitive detecting
motion toward the detector.
Long Range Curtain Lens - OPTION
When pet immunity is required, optional Long Range
Curtain Lens cannot be used. Pet immunity can only be
achieved with Wide Angle Lens.
AVOID THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:
Facing direct sunlight.
Facing areas that may change temperature
rapidly.
Areas where there are air ducts or substantial
airflows.
Avoid screen, curtain that may block detection
area.
Do not install outdoors.

PRODUCT FEATURES
The IX is a combination of PIR & MW detectors, providing
protection from intruders by PYRO sensor element and
MW (based on Doppler concept).
Using micro controller for PIR & MW signal analyzing,
with special ASIC technology for PIR pulse processing,
IX eliminates false alarms, caused by small animals and
Pets.

PET IMMUNITY
Pet immunity is most effective on the following sized
animals:
Rodents = 5 to 12cm high
Cats = 5 to 35 cm high at normal room temperature.
Small to medium sized dogs = 10 to 45cm high at
normal room temperature.
When a dog jumps up on desks, the IX may detect it.
Adjust detection area to avoid such places.
Mount between 2.1 and 2.4m. (For better immunity,
especially for medium sized dogs, mount as close to
2.4m, as possible).
Do not angle detector towards the ground or use the
angle bracket.
Mount flat on the wall or in the corner.
For best pet immunity, limit the detectors field of view to
10~12m maximum in any direction.
Pulse Count Low is not required for Pet Immunity
applications.
Use Low pulse only in harsh environment.
For rodents.
If any shelves within 4.5m of the detector have a height
that comes within 0.5~1m below the mounting height of
the detector and rodents can access these areas, pet
immunity will be reduced. Please select mounting
location of detectors carefully to avoid this situation.
For cats.
If there are cats, any shelves in the detection area will
reduce pet immunity.
TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTIONS
Fig. 5
Terminal 1 - Marked - (GND)
Connect to ground of the control panel.
Terminal 2 - Marked + (+12V )
Connect to the positive Voltage output of 8.2 ~ 16Vdc
source (usually from the alarm control unit).
Terminals 3 & 4 - Marked TAMPER
Connect these terminals to a 24hour normally closed
protective zone in the control unit.
Once the front cover of the detector is opened, an
immediate alarm signal will be sent to the control unit.
Terminal 5 - Marked EOL
End of line option.
Terminals 6 & 7 - Marked RELAY
These are the output relay contacts of the detector.
Connect to the control at zone input.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
The detector can either be wall or corner mounted.
If ceiling or special wall mounting is required, use the
optional bracket base. Refer to bracket description.
(See fig. 7)
1. Unscrew the holding screw and gently raise the front
cover (Fig. 4).
2. Carefully unscrew the PCB holding screw located on
the PC board (Fig. 6).
3. Break out the desired knockout holes for proper
installation (Fig. 3).
4. The circular and rectangular indentations at the bottom
base are the knockout holes for wire entry. You may
also use mounting holes that are not in use for running
the wiring into the detector (Fig. 3).
5. For bracket mounting option - lead wire through the
bracket.
6. Mount the detector base to the wall, corner or ceiling.
(For option with bracket see Fig. 7).
7. Reinstall the PC board by fully tightening the holding
screw. Connect wire to terminal block.
8. Replace the cover by inserting it back in the
appropriate closing pins and screw in the holding
screw.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
Apply 12 Vdc power to the detector, wait 2 minutes to
finish the detector warm up time. Conduct testing with
the protected area cleared of all people.
Walk test
1. Remove front cover.
2. Make sure that PIR and MW switches are in
positions high sensitivity.
3. Make sure that LED switch is ON.
4. Replace the front cover.
5. Start walking slowly across the detection zone.
6. Observe that the detector's LED lights whenever
motion is detected.
7. Allow 5 sec. between each test.
8. After the walk test is completed, the LED, PIR and
MW switches may be changed.
NOTE: Walk tests should be conducted, at least once a
year, to confirm proper operation and coverage of the
detector.
