Testing The Pir Detector - Response SA1 E Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

3. DIP 4 of SW3 is used to configure the PIR
Detector for walk test mode, which allows the
operation of the Detector to be checked during
installation without triggering a Full larm.
DIP 4 Mode
of SW3
ON Walk
Test
OFF Normal
Position
Note: On initial installation the PIR Detector should
be set to Walk-Test mode ready for testing.
4. The PIR Detector incorporates a sensitivity feature
designed to compensate for situations where the
Detector may be affected by environmental
changes, (e.g. insects, air temperature, etc). This
feature is called "Detection Sensitivity" and may be
set to Standard or High Sensitivity.
Note: The higher the sensitivity the less movement
will be necessary before the PIR Detector will
trigger the alarm.
The recommended setting is Standard Sensitivity.
If set to High Sensitivity, in some cases, extreme
environmental problems could cause unattributed
false alarms. If this is experienced it may be
necessary to reset the PIR Detector to Standard
Sensitivity.
Set the required detection sensitivity using DIP 5
of SW3 as follows:
OFF Standard Sensitivity
High Sensitivity
ON
Trigger reaction
on LED
• LED single flash
when movement
detected: implies
the sensor is set to
high sensitivity
• LED flashes three
times and illuminates
once: implies the
sensor is set to low
sensitivity
LED will not light up
(unless the battery in
the PIR is low)
5. Connect the PP3 alkaline battery to the battery clip.
Note: When the 9V alkaline battery is connected,
the LED behind the lens will flash for 2-3 minutes
until the PIR has warmed-up and stabilized. The
LED will then stop flashing and turn OFF.

Testing The PIR Detector

Before testing the PIR Detector ensure that the
system is in Service Mode.
With the PIR Detector set in Walk Test mode (Switch
4) and mounted in position on the wall, allow 2-3
minutes for the PIR Detector to stabilize before
commencing the Walk Test.
1. Walk into and move slowly around the protected
area, each time the PIR Detector senses your
movement the LED behind the Lens will flash.
If necessary re-adjust the detection pattern by
changing the mounting position of the PCB
within the PIR housing.
2. Reconfigure the PIR Detector for normal operation
mode by setting DIP4 of SW3 to OFF and refit in
position.
Note: In normal operation, the LED behind the
PIR Detector lens will not flash on movement
detection, (unless the battery is low).
Note: When the PIR Detector is fully installed
i.e. battery cover is refitted; the unit will not
detect movement for approximately 45 seconds
after each activation. (This feature is present to
conserve battery power and maximize the
battery life).
