Sensitivity - S2 (Slider)
High Sensitivity In high sensitivity mode, you should not be able to cross more than one complete zone (consisting of two
beams - left and right sensor elements) in the coverage area with any kind of movement. Use this setting for
the majority of installations.
Low Sensitivity In low sensitivity mode, the amount of movement required to generate an alarm is doubled. The use of low
sensitivity mode is recommended in areas where the incidence of false alarms may be greater.
Fast/Slow Mode - JP1 (Jumper)
Slow Mode Recommended in areas where the incidence of false alarms may be greater.
Fast Mode Recommended for the majority of installations.
LED Feedback - JP2 (Jumper)
Alarm The red LED will illuminate for a period of 3 seconds whenever the motion detector detects any kind of
movement.
Low Battery The PMD2P performs a battery test every 12 hours. If battery voltage drops below a certain level, the red LED
flashes at 8 second intervals and the motion detector will send a low battery signal to the receiver. A trouble is
generated and then transmitted to the central monitoring station.
Signal Transmission The red LED blinks fast when transmitting.
Description
The Paradox PMD2P is an analog single-optic PIR motion detector with built-in pet
immunity for use with Magellan wireless receivers/transceivers. The PMD2P is immune
to animals weighing up to 18kg (40 pounds), and features automatic temperature
compensation.
The PMD2P is battery-powered and features an innovative three minute energy save
mode (after two detections within a five-minute period). Also, the ALIVE software in
the PMD2P ensures that the alarm LED continues to display when it is in energy save
mode without compromising battery life.
Installation
At the installation height of 2.1m (7ft)
±10%, the PMD2P provides full
coverage from 1.2m (3.9 ft) to 11m (36
ft). Mounting lower than recommended
height will decrease the long range
performance; higher will decrease short
range performance. Do not obscure the
detector, partially nor fully.
IMPORTANT: Do not touch the sensor
as this could result in malfunction.
Clean the sensor surface using a soft
cloth with pure alcohol. Also, avoid
bending, cutting, or altering the antenna
or mounting the detector near metal as
this may affect transmission.

Dual Tamper Mechanism - Wall and Cover
The PMD2P is equipped with dual tamper protection; an alarm is generated if the front cover is removed or if the detector is removed
from the wall. In order for the wall tamper removal feature to be functional, a screw needs to be inserted in the wall tamper hole (see
PCB Overview at right).
Powering the Wireless Detector
Verifying proper polarity, insert three “AAA” alkaline batteries into the motion detector’s battery compartment. To replace the
batteries, remove the old batteries, then press and release the tamper switch and wait 60 seconds in order to re-initialize the unit. After
initialization is complete, insert batteries while verifying proper polarity (verify proper polarity on battery compartment connector as
well). IMPORTANT: Make sure that when reinstalling the battery compartment that the batteries are facing the back-plate.
Power-up Sequence
After inserting the batteries, a power-up sequence begins (lasting 10-20 seconds). During this time, the red LED flashes and the
detector will not detect an open zone or tamper.
Signal Strength Test
In order to verify proper signal reception, perform a signal strength test as described in the receiver’s Reference and Installation
Manual. Prior to performing the test, ensure the batteries have been installed. Also verify that the motion detector has been assigned
to a zone according to the instructions in the receiver’s Reference and Installation Manual. If the transmission is weak, relocating the
transmitter by a few inches can greatly improve the reception.

FCC WARNING
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection agai nst harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (Paradox Security Systems Ltd.)
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

* Battery life expectancy will vary according to the amount of traffic (movement) detected. Higher traffic levels will lower battery life.
Alive Software
To conserve the motion detector’s battery life, if the motion detector transmits two open zone signals (LED on for 3s) within a five-
minute period, the detector will fall into Energy Save Mode for approximately three minutes and will not transmit any alarm signals.
The red LED will continue to flash to indicate a detection. If the detector’s cover is removed and then replaced while in Energy Save
Mode, the first detection will trigger an alarm signal.
Walk-testing
To activate Walk-test Mode for three minutes, power up the detector or open and close the detector’s cover. With sensitivity set to
High (S2 = High), at 20°C, crossing more than one complete zone (consisting of two beams left and right sensor detecting elements)
with slow/fast walking or running should initiate an alarm. With sensitivity set to Low (S2= Low), the amount of movement required
to generate an alarm is doubled.
