Installation Guidelines

Temporarily place the sensor in its intended mounting location. Program and

final test the sensor before permanently mounting it (following the guidelines in

the “Sensor Testing” section below).

Where possible, install sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel. While a

transmitter may have an open-air range of 500 ft. (150 m) or more, the

environment at the installation site may have a significant effect on operational

range. Changing a sensor location may improve wireless communication.

The sensor can be mounted at either 7.5 ft or 10 ft in height. Depending on the

desired mounting height, the ALIGNMENT POST will need to be adjusted

accordingly (see Figure 3). The factory default is set at 7.5 feet (arrow pointing

down, or opposite direction of the battery) so if mounting at 10 feet, the circuit

board needs to be removed from the base and the ALIGNMENT POST rotated

180 degrees and pointing towards the battery before mounting the circuit board

back into the back housing.

 Position the sensor to protect an area where an intruder would be

most likely to walk across the detection pattern.

 Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free from

vibrations.

 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.

 Room temperature must be kept between 60° and 120°F (16° and

49° C).

 Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point, like a wall.

Mounting

Once the desired location has been chosen and the device is ready for

permanent mounting, follow these steps:

1) Separate the front housing from the back housing, exposing the

circuit board which is securely mounted within the back housing.

2) With the circuit board facing towards you (battery should be located

at the top) locate the plastic PCB tab on the right hand of the device

(directly across from the sensing element) and pull it outwards. With

this PCB tab moved to the side, gently lift the right side of the circuit

board out and pull it up and away to release it from the back housing.

Pay special attention as to not touch the sensing element during this

process. Set aside the PCB while the back housing is permanently

installed.

3) Mark the location of the required holes on the mounting surface and

identify the surface mount or corner mounting locations on the

backplate that correspond with the intended installation.

4) Use wall anchors and screws to secure the backplate into place.

Then replace the PCB by inserting the left edge of the circuit board

into the bottom left corner so that the ALIGNMENT POST is inserted

into the hole. Ensure foam bug screen remains in place.

5) Replace the case cover over the sensor and when testing is

completed, the PIR cover can be securely attached to its mounting

base by screwing the smallest provided screw into the hole located at

the bottom of the sensor.

Setting the Sensitivity

The TX+PIR comes with two sensitivity settings, selectable via a jumper pin

located just below the battery. When set to normal sensitivity, detection occurs

in 3-5 steps within the detection path. When set to high sensitivity, detection

occurs in 2-4 steps within the detection path. By default, the sensitivity is set to

normal. Changing the sensitivity from normal to high can be achieved by

moving the jumper pins 1-3 to 2-1.
