Installation
A passive-infrared (PIR) motion sensor detects movement within a specific area by sensing the
infrared energy emitted from a body as it moves across the sensor's field of view. When this
motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm signal to the control panel.
Use the indoor motion sensor to protect locations where door/window sensors are impractical or
not needed. For example, use a motion sensor to protect large areas or open floor plans. Motion
sensors also provide backup protection for door/window sensors.
Use the outdoor motion sensor to identify motion in a protected outdoor area. Detected motion in
this protected area can sound chimes or turn on outside lights.
Note
Do not use outdoor motion sensors for intrusion protection.
The wireless motion sensor includes the following features:
• 35 feet by 40 feet coverage area for standard and optional animal alley lenses
• Masking kit provided to block portions of the coverage area
• Three minute transmitter lockout time after an alarm, helping to extend battery life
• Cover-activated tamper (optional wall-activated tamper is included)
• Supervisory signals transmitted every 64 minutes to the control panel
• Sensor low battery reports (trouble) to the control panel
• Field-selectable sensitivity options
Indoor Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for installing indoor motion sensors.
• If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of the panel. While a transmitter may have a range
of 500 feet or more out in the open, the environment at the installation site can have a signif-
icant effect on transmitter range. Sometimes a change in sensor location can help overcome
adverse wireless conditions.
• The recommended mounting height is 7 1/2 feet, but the sensor can be mounted from 5 to 8
feet high in the corner of the area you want to protect. See the animal alley lens guidelines for
mounting the optional animal alley lens. Higher mounting provides better range (up to 35
feet), and lower mounting provides better protection close to the motion sensor (see Figures
2 and 3). The optional swivel mount (part #60-737) can be used for difficult mounting loca-
tions.
• Position the sensor to protect an area where an intruder would be most likely to walk across
the detection pattern (see Figure 1).
• Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free from vibrations.
• Do not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air conditioners, area heaters, forced air heat-
ing vents, or place it in direct sunlight. Sudden changes in temperature may trigger a false
alarm from these devices.
• Do not mount the sensor near duct work or other large metallic surfaces which may affect the
RF signals (see RF Testing). Actual acceptable transmitter range should be verified for each
installation.
• Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a corner. Do not set it on a shelf.
• Windows should be closed in any area which has an armed motion sensor.
• A pet will trigger a motion sensor. See animal alley lens guidelines to use a motion sensor
when pets are present.
• Mount the motion sensor on an insulated, outside wall facing in.
• Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point, like a wall.
