D-302924 1 DISC MCW Wireless PowerCode Digital Ceiling Mount PIR detector Installation Instructions 1. INTRODUCTION The DISC MCW is the smallest 360° ceiling mounted passive infrared detector presently marketed. The DISC MCW is a microprocessor-controlled wireless digital PIR detector, designed for easy installation. The DISC MCW provides a nearly conical pattern of maximum 10.5 m (36 ft) diameter, when installed on a 3.6 m (12ft) ceiling. The advanced True Motion Recognition™ algorithm (patented) allows to distinguish between the true motion of an intruder and any other disturbances which may cause false alarms. False alarms caused by environmental disturbances are virtually eliminated with alternate polarity pulse counter signal processing and a low-noise pyroelectric detector. The DISC MCW includes the following features: • Provides multiple beams coverage. • Incorporates a fully supervised PowerCode transmitter. • Sophisticated frequency domain digital signal processing. • Programmable motion event counter. • Very low current consumption • Tamper switch for detector opening. • White light protection. • Elegantly styled, sturdy case.

Mount the unit so that the expected motion of an intruder is perpendicular to the detector and not into the detector. Be sure to install the detector on a stable ceiling, to avoid vibrations. Note: Passive infrared detectors are sensitive to changes in infrared energy caused by an object moving across the unit's field of view. Detection of changes in infrared energy depends on the amount of infrared energy transmitted by the moving object, and the temperature difference between the object and the background. Because of this the PIR may fail to respond under certain temperature and background conditions, in which the temperature difference is too small. B. The DISC MCW is extremely immune to air turbulence and RFl interference. However, to minimize possible false alarms, it is highly recommended that you avoid aiming the detector at heaters, sources of light, or windows subjected to direct sunlight. Avoid mounting the DISC MCW in locations where air drafts could flow from the ceiling or from close walls. Also avoid running wiring close to high power electrical cables. COVERBASE Figure 3 - Removing the Cover C. Hold the unit base as shown in Figure 3. Rotate the cover counter clockwise until it stops. Separate the cover from the base. Note: If the cover does not separate easily from the base, insert a 1/8" screwdriver between a tab (on the cover) and a slot (on the base). Lower the screwdriver handle until the base separates from the cover and removes easily. D. Mount the base (equipped with the printed circuit board) in the location selected for optimum coverage. Using the two mounting holes at the back of the base fasten the unit firmly to the mounting surface to avoid possible vibrations. (Figure 4). Line up the 3 tabs on the cover with the 3 slots on the base. Fit the cover over the base. Rotate the cover clockwise until it stops. Figure 4 – Installing the Cover 3.2 LED Functions After battery insertion and rear cover closure, the LED flashes for 2 minutes approximately until the detector stabilizes. After stabilization, the detector enters automatically walk-test period of 15 minutes (see section 3.6 Walk Test below). In this mode the LED lights and the unit sends an RF alarm signal on every detection (regardless of LED jumper position). After the walk-test period, the LED operates according to the LED jumper setting, as follows: LED Jumper Position LED Activity in "Normal Mode" ON LED lights during alarm transmission. OFF LED does not light during alarm transmission. After the first 15 minutes, following every motion detection and alert transmission, the detector disarms itself to save battery power. It rearms (reverts to the ready state) if there is no subsequent detection during the following 2-minute period. Therefore, if you want to check the detector, you have to exit the room for at least 2 minutes and then enter the room. 3.3 Battery Insertion Insert battery (see Figure 5) – Verify proper polarity. Caution! Dispose of used battery according to manufacturer's instructions 3.4 Setting the Pulse Counter The DISC MCW is equipped with a selectable alternate polarity pulse counter which can be set to count two consecutive pulses with opposite polarity, before activating the alarm relay. Pulse count signal processing requires that the moving person will cross both elements of the dual detector before the alarm relay is activated. This provides maximum protection against false alarms caused by environmental disturbances.

It should be used when maximum detecting sensitivity or fast "catch" performance are of highest importance, such as in high security installations. 3.5 Enrolling In order that the PowerMax family control panels will identify the detector signal, perform enrolling as described in the PowerMax+ or PowerMax Pro installer guide, respectively. 3.6 Walk-Test After closing the cover and after the detector stabilization period (2 minutes approximately), the detector enters a 15 minute walk-test mode. In this mode, the LED flashes each time a motion is detected, regardless of LED jumper settings and the detector transmits the occurrence of each event. Walk across the far end of the coverage pattern in both directions. The indicator should light for 3 seconds approximately each time your motion is detected. Important: Instruct the user to perform walk-test at least once a week to assure proper detector's function.
D-302924 3 4. SPECIAL COMMENTS 4.1 Product Limitations Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required by FCC and other regulatory authorities), there are some limitations to be considered: A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected. B. A receiver can only respond to one signal at a time. C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults. D. Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or may fail to warn due to: DC power failure / improper connection, malicious masking of the lens, tampering with the optical system, decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures near that of the human body and unexpected failure of a component part. The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to detect intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It is therefore recommended that the detector and the entire alarm system be checked weekly, to ensure proper performance. E. An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be prudent enough to continue insuring their lives and property, even though they are protected by an alarm system. 4.2 Compliance with Standards The 315 MHz version of this device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
