INSTALLATION 3.1 Installation Hints To minimize false alarms: Do not aim at heat sources Mount on solid, stable surfaces Do not expose to air draughts Do not install outdoors Prevent direct sunlight from reaching the detector Keep wiring away from electrical power cables Do not install behind partitions 3.2 Battery Insertion It is recommended to power up the detector and let the target receiver “learn” the transmitter’s ID before actual installation. This can be done only after battery installation. 1st.Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. Cover Removal B. Insert the battery into the battery clip - observe polarity (see Figure 4). 3rd. Press the tamper switch once and release it. This will perform the reset necessary for smooth power up. 4th. Put the cover on and observe the LED. It will flash until the detector stabilizes (within about 30 seconds). 3.3 Enrolling the Transmitter ID Refer to the target receiver’s installation instructions and follow the procedure given there for “teaching” the transmitter's ID. It is much easier to carry out this operation in close proximity to the receiver. 3.4 Mounting without Swivel Bracket 1st.Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3. 2nd.Loosen the vertical adjustment screw, slide the PCB down and remove it via the “keyhole” (see Figure 4). Figure 4. Inside View 3rd.Punch out the mounting knockouts at the base (for surface mounting) or mounting knockouts at the angled sides of the base (for corner mounting). Attention! The unit has a special tamper switch under the PCB. As long as the PCB is seated firmly within the base, the switch lever will be pressed against a special break-away base segment that is loosely connected to the base (Figure 5). Be sure to fasten the break-away segment to the wall. If the detector unit is forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will break away from the base, causing the tamper switch to open. It is advisable to pierce the anti-tamper knockouts from within the base outward, while pressing the rear surface of the break-away segment against a piece of wood. Figure 5. Anti-Tamper Break-Away Base Segment 4th.Hold the base against the wall at the selected location, mark the drilling points, drill the holes and attach the base to the wall. 5th.Return the PCB to its place: align the ”keyhole” with the head of the vertical adjustment screw, press the PCB against the base, slide the PCB up and temporarily tighten the screw. 3.5 Mounting with Swivel Bracket 1st.Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3. 2nd.Loosen the vertical adjustment screw, slide the PCB down and remove it via the “keyhole” (see Figure 4). 3rd.Punch out the large knockout in the round bulge at the top part of the base (see Figure 6). 4th.Assemble the bracket as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6. Attaching the Bracket 5th.Rotate the bracket to the desired position (see Figure 7) but do not yet tighten the screw fully.
DE3633 3 Figure 7. Wall and Ceiling Positions of Bracket 6th.Mark the points for drilling through the two mounting holes of the bracket. Attach the bracket to the mounting surface. G. Tilt down or swivel the detector to face the desired direction. Figure 8 shows the tilt/swivel possibilities. Figure 8. Tilt/Swivel Limits 3.6 Setting the Motion Event Counter The location of the motion event jumper is shown in Figure 4. Refer to Figure 9 below and mount the jumper as desired. Figure 9. Motion Event Counter Setting Options 3.7 Setting the LED Control Jumper ON Position: Setting the jumper as shown enables the LED. Remember that the detector disables itself for 2-minutes after detection! OFF Position: Setting the jumper as shown disables the LED. Note: At power up or reset, the LED flashes for 30 seconds regardless of the jumper position and then enters walk-test mode. After 15 minutes the detector enters normal mode in which the LED functions according to the LED control jumper position. 3.8 Vertical Adjustment Refer to Figure 10. Loosen the vertical adjustment screw and slide the printed circuit board up or down to obtain the desired coverage. When done, tighten the screw well. Figure 10. Vertical Adjustment 3.9 Walk Testing Upon battery insertion or closing of the cover (which results in closing of the tamper switch) the detector goes into walk-test mode and automatically exits the mode after 15 minutes. 1st. Set the motion event counter as required (see Paragraph 3.6). 2nd. Adjust the vertical angle as desired (see Paragraph 3.8). 3rd. Remount the cover and fasten the case closure screw. This results in the resetting of the detector and the start of walk-test mode. 4th. Wait until the LED stops flashing (about 30 seconds). 5th. Walk-test the entire protected area by walking slowly across the detector's field of view, observing the LED. Pause for 5 seconds after each detection to allow the detector to complete its 3-transmission sequence (see Appendix A); the LED will light for about 3 seconds. 6th. When the walk-test is completed (after 15 minutes), the detector's setting automatically changes according to the LED control jumper setting. Notes: 1. The OFF setting is recommended to prevent unauthorized people from tracing the detector’s coverage pattern. 2. If the LED is disabled, you may use the control panel’s visual and audible indicators to verify proper function of the detector. Attention! To assure proper function of the detector, the range and coverage area should be checked at least twice a year. Furthermore, the user should be instructed to perform a walk test at the far end of the coverage pattern to assure an alarm signal prior to each time the alarm system is armed. 4. MISCELLANEOUS 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 transmitted signal at a time. C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults. 4.2 Frequency Allocations for Wireless Devices in European (EU) Countries • 433.92 MHz has no restriction in any EU member state. • 315 MHz is not allowed in any EU member state.
4 DE3633 • 868.95 MHz (wide band) is allowed in all EU member states. • 869.2625 MHz (narrow band) is not restricted in any EU member state. 4.3 Compliance with Standards This device complies with the essential requirements and provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio and telecommunications terminal equipment. The 315 MHz model of this device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The user is cautioned that changes or modifications to the unit, not expressly approved by the party responsible, could void the user's FCC authority to operate the equipment. APPENDIX A. THE VISONIC LTD. POWERCODE SYSTEM A-1. The PowerCode Message Format The PowerCode message transmitted by the DISCOVERY QUAD MCW includes the 24-bit ID and a status report (see Fig. A1). Figure A1. Transmitted Data A message includes the following data: • Detector's ID: Any message transmitted starts with the 24-bit ID assigned to the particular detector unit. • Tamper / Restore: Upon removal of the unit's front cover, a message will be transmitted with a "tamper marker" ON. If the unit's cover is put back, a message will be transmitted with the tamper marker OFF ("Tamper Restore"). • Alarm: Once the detector is in alarm, a message will be transmitted with an "alarm marker" ON. • Low Battery: A special battery condition marker is used to report the battery status in any message. The battery is tested once an hour and if found low, the "low battery marker" is set to ON in all following messages. • Supervision Message: A special "supervision message marker", when set to ON, identifies the periodic supervision messages transmitted automatically at 1 hour or 15 minute intervals. This marker will be OFF in all other messages. • Transmitter Type: A special marker indicates the type of the transmitter: n Supervised or non-supervised n Reports or does not report restorals after alarm The DISCOVERY QUAD MCW does not report restorals after alarms. • Checksum: Checksum bits at the end of the message allow the receiver to determine whether an incoming message is valid (error-free). This feature considerably enhances the reliability of the wireless communication link. A-2. Anti-Collision To overcome message collisions at the receiving end, PowerCode transmitters transmit 3 data bursts at random intervals, with 6 repetitions of the same message in each burst (Fig. A2). This redundancy improves the probability of reception. Note: Periodic supervision messages are an exception to this rule - they consist of a single 6-message burst. Figure A2.
