Product Summary

The AP750W Wireless PIR (passive-infrared) Motion Sensor

detects movement by sensing the infrared energy emitted

from a body as it moves across its field of view. When this

motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm signal.

Install motion sensors to protect areas 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 can also provide backup protection in areas

where door/window sensors exist.

This wireless motion sensor includes the following features:

ˎ Field-selectable coverage area; 33 or 50 feet

ˎ Field-selectable sensitivity modes; 2-pulse or 4-pulse

ˎ 135-second transmitter lockout time after an alarm that

helps extend battery life

ˎ Cover-activated tamper

ˎ Supervisory signal transmitted every 64 minutes to the

control panel

ˎ Sensor low battery reports (trouble) to the control panel

Included with the sensor is a thin cardboard under-crawl

mask and snap-in plastic masks (installed at the factory).

Self-adhesive masking strips are also included.

Installation Guidelines

If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of the panel. While

a transmitter may have an open-air range of 500 feet or

more, the installation site can have a significant effect on

transmitter range. Changing the sensor location may help

overcome adverse wireless conditions.

ˎ Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a

corner. Do not set it on a shelf.

ˎ For installations without pets, the required mounting

height is 7½ feet.

ˎ Mount the motion sensor on an insulated, outside wall

facing in.

ˎ Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free

from vibrations.

ˎ Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point,

like a wall.

ˎ Do not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air

conditioners, heaters/heating vents, or place it in direct

sunlight.

ˎ Position the sensor to protect an area where intruders

are most likely to walk across the detection pattern (see

Figure 1: Overhead View Walking Across Detection

Pattern).

Figure 1: Overhead View Walking Across Detection Pattern ˎ For installations where pets are present, mount the sensor upside down about 3.5 feet above the floor (see Figure 3). Leave the factory-installed under-crawl mask in place to block any detection pattern directed at the ceiling. Figure 3: ˎ Do not mount the sensor near duct work or other large metallic surfaces which may affect the RF signals (see “Final Testing” on page 4).

Mounting the Sensor Figure 6: Mounting Hole Locations This section describes how to mount the sensor on a flat wall or in a corner. Note: Remove the factory-installed plastic masks before mounting. Re-install as desired after walk testing. Caution: You must be free of all static electricity before handling sensor circuit boards. Touch a grounded, bare metal surface before touching circuit boards or wear a grounding strap. 1. Remove the small cover (see Figure 4).
PAGE 4
Walk Testing Figure 8: Installing Self-Adhesive Masks Walk testing should be done to determine the actual coverage area of the sensor. The edge of the coverage pattern is determined by the first LED flash. This may change slightly depending on the sensitivity setting. Walk test the unit from both directions to determine the pattern boundaries. 1. Remove the sensor cover to activate the tamper switch and then reattach it to activate the 2-minute walk test mode. 2.
PAGE 5
Programming The following describes the basic steps for adding (learning) the sensor into panel memory. Refer to the specific panel installation instructions for complete programming information. 1. Put the panel into program mode. 2. Advance to the learn sensors menu. 3. Enter the appropriate sensor group and desired sensor number. 4. When the panel prompts you to trip the sensor, activate the sensor tamper switch by removing the sensor cover. 5. Reattach the sensor cover. 6.

Figure 11: Removing the Transmitter Circuit Board Lithium Battery Disposal Lithium batteries that are no longer usable are considered hazardous waste. Be sure to properly dispose of the old batteries. Contact your local city government for hazardous waste disposal laws. Troubleshooting Use the following guidelines if the system does not respond correctly when the sensor is activated. 4.
