4. Product Overview
The Intelbras IVP 2000 SF is a wireless passive infrared sensor designed for indoor use. It features advanced detection technology to minimize false alarms and ensure reliable security monitoring.
Figure 1: Front view of the Intelbras IVP 2000 SF sensor. This image displays the white casing of the sensor with the Intelbras logo and "IVP 2000 SF" model designation clearly visible on the top front. The translucent detection lens is prominent on the lower front section.
Key Components:
- PIR Lens: Detects infrared radiation from moving bodies.
- LED Indicator: Provides status feedback (e.g., detection, low battery).
- Battery Compartment: Houses the power source.
- Mounting Points: For secure installation on a wall.
- Tamper Switch: Triggers an alarm if the sensor cover is opened.
5. Setup
5.1. Battery Installation
- Open the sensor's front cover by gently prying it open from the bottom notch.
- Insert the provided alkaline battery into the battery compartment, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the front cover, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
5.2. Mounting the Sensor
The sensor is designed for wall mounting. Choose a location that provides optimal coverage of the area to be protected, avoiding direct heat sources or air conditioning vents.
- Select a mounting height between 2.0 to 2.2 meters (6.5 to 7.2 feet) from the floor.
- Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the screw positions on the wall.
- Drill holes at the marked positions and insert the wall plugs.
- Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using the provided screws.
- Attach the sensor unit to the mounting bracket, ensuring it is firmly seated.
5.3. Pairing with a Security System
Refer to your Intelbras security system or smart hub manual for specific instructions on how to add a new wireless sensor. Generally, the process involves:
- Putting your security system into "pairing" or "enrollment" mode.
- Activating the sensor (e.g., by triggering it or pressing a specific button, if available, or by installing the battery for the first time).
- Confirming successful pairing through the system's interface or LED indicators.
6. Operating the Sensor
6.1. Detection Principle
The IVP 2000 SF sensor operates on the principle of passive infrared (PIR) detection. It detects changes in infrared energy within its field of view, which are typically caused by the movement of a warm body. When a significant change is detected, the sensor transmits a signal to the connected security system.
6.2. LED Indicator Status
- Brief Flash: Indicates motion detection.
- Continuous Flash: May indicate low battery or a fault. Refer to the troubleshooting section.
- No Light: Normal standby mode, or battery is completely depleted.
6.3. Detection Range and Coverage
The sensor typically offers a detection range of up to 12 meters (39 feet) with a coverage angle of approximately 90 degrees. Optimal performance is achieved when movement occurs across the sensor's field of view rather than directly towards it.
7. Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning
Periodically clean the sensor's lens and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device.
7.2. Battery Replacement
When the LED indicator signals a low battery (e.g., continuous flashing or specific system notification), replace the battery promptly. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in section 5.1. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
7.3. Regular Checks
Test the sensor's functionality regularly (e.g., monthly) by walking through its detection zone to ensure it triggers an alarm or notification on your security system.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not detecting motion. |
|
|
| False alarms. |
|
|
| LED indicator flashing continuously. | Low battery. | Replace the battery. |
| Sensor not communicating with the security system. |
