an intruder must cross several beam pairs to trip an alarm. To lock the unit
into the 4-Pulse Mode while maintaining adaptive microwave operation, install
both the PIR jumper and the MW jumper.
Microwave Range Adjustment
Important! The microwave RANGE ADJUST control should be set at the
minimum required to achieve the desired coverage. It is set so that the
Walk-Test LED lights when motion is detected at the maximum desired range,
but does not light (motion is not detected) beyond the maximum desired
range. All tests must be made with the front cover in place.
1. Remove the front cover and install the MW jumper.
2. Set the RANGE ADJUST control at mid position. Replace the cover and
walk-test the unit. (Note: Allow at least 5 seconds after trip for microwave to
reset.)
3. If the desired range was insufficient, advance the RANGE ADJUST
control slightly clockwise. Repeat the test as necessary, increasing the
RANGE ADJUST control each time until motion is detected at the desired
range, but not beyond. (If the desired range was excessive, reduce the
RANGE ADJUST control slightly (counterclockwise) and repeat this step.)
Note: Return the jumper to the ALARM or LED position after adjustment.
TESTING THE COVERAGE AREA
After the unit has been mounted and set up, its coverage should be tested
and, if necessary, altered to accommodate local environmental conditions
(within the coverage area). Satisfactory checks may be made using the
Walk-Test LED on the front of the unit. It is recommended that the coverage
area be tested at least once a year.
Testing the Unit
Complete connections to the terminal strip (see WIRING). The unit will
require a 1-minute “settling” time to adjust itself to the surrounding tempera-
ture. After sufficient time has been allowed, proceed as follows.
Move your hand slowly across the lens to verify sensor operation. With the
PIR jumper installed, the LED will light whenever a beam is disturbed. With
the MW jumper installed, the LED will light as long as motion is detected.
When the LED goes out, no motion is detected.
Test the range of the coverage. Install the PIR Walk-Test jumper and
replace the front cover. Walk out to the maximum determined coverage
distance, then walk across the field of coverage. The LED will remain lit as
long as motion is detected. Repeat this test with the microwave MW Walk-Test
jumper installed. Repeat once again with the ALARM. jumper installed.
Confirm that the LED lights at the maximum desired range, but not beyond.
Test the width of the coverage. Install the PIR Walk-Test jumper (Fig. 6)
and replace the front cover. Walk across the coverage area and confirm LED
response. Repeat with the MW Walk-Test jumper installed, and once again
