360 Degree PIR Motion Sensor
360 PIR Motion Sensor alarms when motion is sensed.       
It is a commercial battery-powered ceiling mount sensor 
with a 360 degree detection range. 
Features
•  360° detection range with 62 distinct detection zones
•  Range up to 40 feet in diameter
•  Selectable pulse count 2 or 4
•  Designed for commercial application
•  5 year warranty
Enroll by placing the panel into wireless enrollment mode 
and tripping the sensor’s enrollment sequence. Interlogix® , 
DSC®, Qolsys®   and Cryptix™ variants can be enrolled by 
pulling the battery tab or by tampering the unit. Honeywell 
® and 2GIG™ variants can be enrolled by tripping the unit 
three times (tamper or motion) or by holding the tamper 
down and powering the unit up by pulling the battery 
tab. Honeywell  and 2GIG  sensors must be enrolled as a 
“Loop1” sensor. Alternatively, all variants of the motion 
sensor can be enrolled by entering its serial number into the 
panel.     
Install by screwing two #8 screws into the ceiling, leaving 1/4 
inch of thread exposed. Next, slide the back plate over the 
screws and rotate the back plate. Screw the third #8 screw 
through the wall tamper into the ceiling, ensuring that the 
wall tamper screw is attached to something solid. Tighten all 
screws until snug. Then, insert the square nut into the square 
slit of the cover and start threading the #4 screw into the 
side of the cover. Close the cover and conduct a walk test. 
After walk testing, take the unit out of walk test mode and 
close the cover again. Finally, nish threading the #4 screw 
until it is snug.
Use your panel’s installation guide to verify proper system setup.

Mounting Tips
•  Avoid direct sunlight
•  Avoid facing directly to AC or heating vents
•  Avoid vapor or high humidity
•  Avoid curtains, screens, etc. from blocking detection
•  Do not install outdoors 

Sensor functions 
Alarm LED can be switched either “ON” or “OFF”.
Pulse Count can be switched to either “2” or “4” mode 
depending on the environmental conditions of the 
installation.
Walk Test Switch LED lights up when the unit has 
detected motion. An alarm signal is outputted 
whenever detection occurs.
Normal Operation (Battery Saving Mode)
LED lights up when the unit has detected if “LED ON” 
is selected. Once alarm is outputted, it does not output 
alarm again for 2 minutes. It goes back after 2 minutes 
and outputs alarm again when receiving detection 
signal.
Detection Range
Pulse Count
•  Select “2” for normal applications.
•  Select “4” for use in areas where there may be 
movement by small animals or other objects, 
such as fax machines or curtains.

Troubleshooting
Problem Probable Cause Remedy
Alarm is not activated 
although someone is 
walking in detection 
area
Detection area is improper, 
battery is dead, Walk Test 
switch is OFF and 2 minute 
delay is active
Conduct a walk test, change 
the battery
Alarm is activated with 
nobody in the area
Moving object within 
detection area, temperature 
of object within area is 
changing rapidly
Remove the object from 
the detection area, remove 
the heat sources from the 
detection area or relocate the 
detector
LED does not light up 
at the time of the walk 
test
Walk test switch is OFF, 
battery is dead
Turn the walk test switch ON, 
change the battery
LED does not light up 
in normal operation
LED switch is OFF, battery 
is dead
Turn LED switch ON, change  
battery
Pro Tips
Save battery life by taking unit out of walk test mode after 
completing walk test. There is no 2 minute delay when 
in walk test mode. Leaving in walk test mode will 
severely decrease battery unit life.
Light changes will cause the sensor to trip. Ensure that the 
detector is not placed near windows. 
Sudden temperature changes will cause the sensor to trip. 
Ensure the motion detector is not placed near heating 
and cooling vents.
High humidity environments can cause condensation of 
the detection lens. Ensure the motion detector is not 
installed in these kinds of environments. 
Protective lm should be removed from the lens after 
installation.
