5. Setup and Installation

5.1 Choosing an Installation Location

Select a location that provides optimal coverage of the area you wish to monitor. Consider the following:

• Mount the detector in a corner or on a flat wall at a height of approximately 2.2 to 2.5 meters (7.2 to 8.2 feet) from the floor.
• Avoid aiming the detector directly at heat sources (e.g., radiators, vents) or windows where direct sunlight or strong drafts may occur.
• Ensure the detection path is clear of large obstructions.
• For pet immunity, ensure pets cannot climb onto furniture or objects within the detection zone that would place them above the pet-immune threshold.

5.2 Battery Installation

1. Carefully open the detector casing.
2. Insert the required Alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the casing securely.

5.3 Mounting the Detector

1. Once the location is chosen, mark the drilling points on the wall using the detector's mounting holes as a template.
2. Drill holes at the marked points and insert wall plugs if necessary.
3. Secure the detector to the wall using the provided screws.
4. Ensure the detector is firmly attached and does not wobble.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Pairing with a CHACON Alarm System

To integrate the motion detector with your CHACON alarm system (e.g., 34940, 34941, 34942, 34943), follow the pairing instructions provided in your alarm system's manual. Generally, this involves:

1. Put your CHACON alarm system into pairing mode.
2. Activate the motion detector (e.g., by pressing a test button or triggering a detection).
3. Confirm successful pairing on your alarm system's display or indicator.

Refer to your specific CHACON alarm system manual for detailed pairing procedures.

6.2 Detection and Indication

• When motion is detected, the detector will send a signal to the paired alarm system.
• A small LED indicator on the detector may flash briefly upon detection (this behavior can vary based on the specific model and its configuration).
• The pet-friendly feature ensures that animals weighing up to 25kg will not trigger an alarm under normal circumstances.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the detector with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays, as these can damage the device.
• Ensure the sensor lens remains clean and free of dust for optimal performance.

7.2 Battery Replacement

The detector features a low battery indication. When this indicator activates (e.g., a specific LED pattern or signal to the alarm system), replace the batteries promptly to ensure continuous protection.

1. Open the detector casing.
2. Remove the old batteries.
3. Insert new Alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the casing securely.
