Figure B- 8: EL-2650XL Correct Installation
This is a typical installation example where the detector is 5cm from the wall and 2m from
the protected window. The top two diagrams show the lens coverage pattern for the
detector when incorrectly adjusted to ‐2 and 0. The bottom diagram shows the PCB
correctly adjusted to +2.

It is not recommended to mount the unit less than 40cm away from the path of entry
protected by the detector.

Walk Test

A walk test determines the coverage pattern of the detector. To perform this test, walk across the
scope of the detector according to the detection pattern selected. Confirm that the LEDs activate
and deactivate as described in Table B‐ 5. To launch the Walk Test from the Radio mode, after any
transmission indicated by LED blinking, press the tamper switch and hold it until the green LED
turns on then off (see Figure B‐ 9, step 1). Release the tamper switch and wait until the red LED
turns on and then off (see Figure B‐ 9, step 2). Press the tamper switch once again. Both LEDS are lit
momentarily (see Figure B‐ 9, step 3). The detector enters the Walk Test mode for 4 minutes. During
the Walk Test, wait for twenty seconds between movements. To launch the Walk Test from the
Normal mode: Just open the detector housing: the tamper is triggered and the detector enters the
Walk Test mode for 4 minutes. Walk test should be performed weekly.
In Walk Test mode there are no delays.
