Introduction
The Wireless Outdoor PIR 319.5MHz Detector or is an
outdoor motion detector and alarm trigger that uses
two independent passive infrared
detectors.
2 x 3V Lithium CR123 batteries
12
4 / 7
Both sensors must trigger to cause the detector to signal an
alarm. The Detector uses quad PIR technology to deliver precise,
reliable presence detection.
Programmable options include a variable pulse count and a
choice of three detection ranges: 10 m / 33 ft., 20 m / 66 ft.,
and 30 m / 98 ft.
The integral dual-axis tilt sensor allows 180° of pan and 90° of
tilt. This increases the speed of the outdoor installation and
provides incredibly accurate aiming of the detection pattern.
The electronics module is acrylic coated for additional
component stability. It is encased in a vandal-resistant, high-
impact, UV stabilized plastic housing with an opaque
polyethylene front cover ensuring that the sensor is impervious
to and unaffected by weather conditions.
The combination of precision electronics, digital white light
filtering, and double shielding eliminates false alarms from the
sun and other visible light sources.
The Detector design has a neat and professional appearance that
gives no visible indication of the orientation of the detector
head and totally hides the wiring.
Quick installation
1. Mount and connect the detector following the instructions
given later in this sheet.
2.
The detection LED (blue) flashes three times.
3. Wait approximately 2 to 3 minutes to allow the detector to
settle.
4. Press the programming button once to activate walk test
mode.
The detection LED is now enabled for five minutes.
Note: The front cover must be fitted when walk testing.
The default settings are:
Range: 30 meters / 98 feet
Pulse count: 1
Mounting the unit
During installation, protect the electronics against water, as
trapped moisture can affect or damage the unit.
To mount the detector:
1. Drill the wall to accept the two fixing screws and
the tamper cup (if used). See Figures 1 and 3.
A hole-drilling template is provided.
Notes
Leave a minimum 10 cm (4 inches) clearance above
the top of the detector housing to allow the cover and
the detector to be positioned correctly.
We recommend using the tamper cup on uneven wall
surfaces.
The recommended optimum mounting height for the
detector is 3 m. Whilst it is possible to mount the unit
higher, this will give a reduced detection range and
will require the detection subject to move further
through the already reduced detection area before an
activation is signalled.
2. Remove the cover assembly by loosening the locking
screw.
Squeeze the sides of the front cover to release the internal
catches. The cover hinges from the top and lifts out of the
location slot. See Figure 2.
3. Screw the unit to the wall ensuring that the tamper pin is
correctly located and that the tamper microswitch is
closed.
To aid installation, two spare different length tamper
The tamper foot is a push
fit and can be removed by carefully pulling it from the pin.
See Figure 1.
4. When the detector is aligned, connected, and
programmed to suit the installation:
a. Fit the cover to the detector base.
b. Lightly screw the locking screw using a star screwdriver.
c. Put the top of the locking tool into the small notch on
each side of the cover, and then apply slight pressure
until the cover locks into the base, as shown in
Figure 17.
d. Tighten the locking screw.
Fitting the Batteries
Multibeam alignment and masking
The multifunction lens fitted to the detector produces
seven long-range beams and seven medium- to short-range
curtain PIR beams. The PIR circuitry detects changes in heat
and movement in the beam pattern; therefore items such as
trees, shrubs, ponds, boiler flues, and animals should be
considered when positioning the detector.
Battery
Only use battery type 3V Lithium CR123 (x 2 provided) This will
provide 3 years operation under normal conditions.
For extended battery life a 3rd battery can be fitted into the rear
of the TX board, See Fig 5.
Observe correct polarity when fitting.

Observe correct polarity. See Fig 4.
P/1REV 2.ISS 19APR12
P/1REV 2.ISS 19APR12 5 / 7
Note: PIR sensor is more sensitive to a movement across the
beams, and less sensitive to a movement directly towards or
away from the beams.
The detector module is fitted with two sliding shutters to reduce
the detection angle.
The curtains are fitted to the pan and tilt module as shown in
Figure 6. Each section of the detector lens gives a coverage
pattern of approximately 10 degrees.
An additional set of curtain sliders is provided should the beam
pattern be narrowed even further, e.g. if the minimum detection
angle of 10 degrees is required.
When coverage exceeds the desired detection area, adjust the
module as required and mask off any beams, either vertically
or horizontally, to avoid unwanted detection.
Use portions of the self-adhesive silver mask applied to the
rear, smooth side of the lens as shown in Figures 11 and 12.
Gently lift the top and bottom edges of the pan and tilt module
to release the lens. To replace the module, please begin by
sliding one side of the lens into the clips on the pan and tilt
module. After one side is secure, do the same for the opposite
side. Once both sides are secure, gently lift the top and bottom
edges of the pan and tilt module and press on the lens to click
it into place.
Always replace the lens the correct way up to ensure exact
beam pattern coverage. The top of the lens has a notch and
is marked TOP as shown in Figure 7.
Table 2 below summarizes typical masking configurations for
use when the range option is set to 30 meters.

Figure 13 shows the pattern for the maximum range in the
optimum position (see Figure 9). Masking the top section of the
lens reduces the range to 20 m / 66 ft.
Figure 14 shows the pattern for the minimum range (10 m /
33 ft.) In this case masking the top section of the lens reduces
the range to 6 meters.
Figure 15 shows possible alignments when the detector is
mounted close to a wall.

2. 55° mounting, recommended
3. Detector housing
4. Long range beam direction
5. Wall
The alignment shown as item 1 in Figure 15 is not
recommended. If the detector head is mounted at an angle of
90° to the perimeter, the mounting wall may cut off short and
medium range beams. The long-range beam will still detect an
intruder, however the wall can cause false alarms when heated
by sunlight.
Item 2 in Figure 15 shows the recommended alignment. The
detector head is mounted at a 55° angle to the perimeter. As a
result, short and medium range beams are parallel to the
perimeter, but the detection range along the perimeter is
reduced to 25 m.
LEDs
The detector has one LED as shown on Figure 16.

To change any settings:
1. Press the programming button to select the option number
you want to change. Press once for range, twice for pulse
count, and three times for detection LED.
2. Wait until the programming LED turns off (typically
4 seconds).
3. Count the number of times the programming LED flashes
to determine the current value for that option.
4. Press the programming button to select the value number
for the new setting. Example: To set the range to 30 m /
98 ft., press three times.
The programming LED blinks twice to indicate that the
new value was set.
Any alterations made to the detector settings are stored in
nonvolatile memory.
Resetting options
To reset the detector to the default settings:
1. Remove the batteries from the detector.
2. Press and hold the programming button (see Figure 16,
item 2).
3. Re fit the batteries (observe polarity).
4. After the programming LED flashes, release the
programming button.
Walk test
In walk test mode, the blue detection LED option is set to ON,
and the pulse count option is set to 1. The detection LED lights
each time the unit detects your presence.
To enter the walk test mode, press the programming button
once. The detection LED lights and pulse count 1 is
automatically selected. The unit can then be aligned. The
detection LED lights on the the unit every time detection
takes place.
The test mode ends automatically five minutes after last
detection. Alternatively, press the program button three times,
or remove and then reapply batteries to cancel the walk test
mode.
The range of the detector increases without the protective front
cover. Therefore the front cover must be fitted to establish the
correct beam pattern. Use Table 3 on page 5 to adjust the
range as necessary. Pan and tilt the lens module over the field
of view to obtain the correct coverage area.
