1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Honeywell IS335 Wired PIR Motion Detector. The IS335 is designed to provide reliable motion detection for security systems, offering a detection range of 40 feet by 56 feet. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper functionality and safety.
2. Key Features
- Wired Connectivity: Ensures stable and reliable communication with your security system.
- PIR Technology: Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor detects changes in infrared radiation caused by moving bodies.
- Wide Coverage: Detects motion within a 40' x 56' area.
- Compact Design: Discreet and blends into various environments.
3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. This device is designed for wall mounting.
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the motion detector from its packaging. Ensure all components are present.
3.2 Mounting Location
Choose a location that provides the best coverage for the desired area, typically in a corner or on a wall where the detector can "see" across the room. Avoid aiming the detector directly at heat sources, windows, or areas with significant air currents (e.g., near HVAC vents) to prevent false alarms. The recommended mounting height is typically 7-8 feet (2.1-2.4 meters) from the floor.

3.3 Wiring
The IS335 is a wired device and requires connection to a compatible security system control panel. It typically uses four wires: two for power (+ and -) and two for the alarm circuit (NC and C). Refer to your security system's manual for specific wiring diagrams and connection points. Ensure power is disconnected from the control panel before wiring.
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the detector to the positive power output of the control panel.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the detector to the negative power output (ground) of the control panel.
- Connect the Normally Closed (NC) and Common (C) terminals of the detector to the designated zone input on your control panel.
After wiring, secure the detector to the wall using appropriate screws.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Power-Up and Initialization
Once wired and mounted, restore power to your security system control panel. The detector will undergo a brief initialization period. During this time, an LED indicator on the detector may illuminate or flash.
4.2 Walk Test
Perform a walk test to verify the detector's coverage area and functionality.
- Put your security system into test mode (refer to your system's manual).
- Walk through the protected area, observing the LED indicator on the motion detector.
- The LED should illuminate each time motion is detected.
- Adjust the detector's position or angle if there are any blind spots or areas not covered.
After confirming proper operation, take your security system out of test mode.
5. Maintenance
The Honeywell IS335 motion detector requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the detector's lens and casing with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Testing: It is recommended to perform a walk test at least once a year, or as recommended by your security system provider, to ensure continued functionality.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Detector not responding (LED not lighting up) | No power; incorrect wiring; faulty unit. | Check power connections to the control panel. Verify wiring connections (+, -, NC, C). If issues persist, consult a professional. |
| False alarms | Heat sources; air currents; direct sunlight; pets (if pet immunity not configured or exceeded). | Relocate the detector away from heat sources, windows, or vents. Ensure pet immunity settings (if available) are correct for your pet's size. |
| Missed detections (blind spots) | Improper mounting height or angle; obstructions. | Adjust mounting height or angle. Remove any obstructions blocking the sensor's view. Perform a walk test to confirm coverage. |
