1. Introduction
The Intelbras IVP 7000 SMART EX is a wireless passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor designed for robust and reliable intrusion detection. It incorporates advanced signal analysis technology to ensure efficient detection while minimizing false alarms. This sensor is particularly suited for outdoor environments and areas with a high risk of intrusion, offering enhanced security for your property.
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your IVP 7000 SMART EX sensor. Please read it carefully before proceeding with installation and use.
2. Key Features
- Pet Immunity: Designed to ignore pets weighing up to 30 kg (approximately 66 lbs), reducing false alarms caused by animals.
- Dual PIR Detection: Utilizes two passive infrared sensors for more accurate and reliable motion detection.
- Adjustable PIR Sensitivity: Allows customization of detection sensitivity to suit specific environmental conditions.
- LED Status Indicator: Provides visual feedback on detection events and sensor status.
- Anti-Tamper Switch: Triggers an alarm if the sensor cover is opened or the unit is forcibly removed from its mounting location.
- Articulated Mounting Bracket: Includes a flexible bracket for easy and precise positioning during installation.
- Low Battery Indication: Notifies users when the battery level is low, ensuring continuous operation.
- Optical Filter: Enhances detection accuracy and reduces interference from external light sources.
3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance of your IVP 7000 SMART EX sensor. Follow these steps carefully.
3.1 Unboxing and Component Check
Before installation, ensure all components are present:
- IVP 7000 SMART EX Sensor Unit
- Articulated Mounting Bracket
- Screws and Wall Plugs for mounting
- User Manual (this document)
3.2 Battery Installation
The sensor operates on batteries (type not specified, typically 3V lithium). Open the sensor casing carefully to access the battery compartment. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the casing securely.
3.3 Mounting Location Selection
Choose a mounting location that provides an unobstructed view of the area to be protected. Avoid aiming the sensor directly at heat sources, reflective surfaces, or areas with strong air currents. For outdoor use, consider protection from direct rain and sunlight, although the sensor is designed for outdoor environments.

3.4 Physical Mounting
- Attach the articulated mounting bracket to the desired wall or surface using the provided screws and wall plugs. Ensure it is firmly secured.
- Mount the IVP 7000 SMART EX sensor onto the articulated bracket.
- Adjust the sensor's angle using the bracket to cover the intended detection area.

3.5 Pairing with Control Panel (Wireless Configuration)
Refer to your security system's control panel manual for specific instructions on how to pair a new wireless sensor. Generally, this involves putting the control panel into 'learning' mode and then triggering the sensor (e.g., by opening the tamper switch or walking in front of it) to register it with the system.
3.6 PIR Sensitivity Adjustment
The sensor features adjustable PIR sensitivity. Consult the internal dip switches or potentiometer (if present) inside the sensor casing to fine-tune the detection range and responsiveness. Test the sensor after adjustment to ensure optimal performance and pet immunity.
4. Operating Instructions
Once installed and configured, the IVP 7000 SMART EX operates automatically to detect motion.
4.1 Motion Detection
The dual PIR sensors detect changes in infrared radiation caused by movement of warm bodies. When motion is detected within its coverage area, the sensor transmits a signal to the connected control panel.
4.2 LED Indicator
The LED indicator on the sensor provides visual feedback:
- Brief Flash: Indicates motion detection.
- Continuous Light/Specific Pattern: May indicate low battery or a tamper event (refer to specific model documentation for exact patterns).
4.3 Pet Immunity
The pet immunity feature allows pets up to 30 kg to move freely within the detection zone without triggering an alarm. For this feature to work effectively, ensure the sensor is mounted at the recommended height and its sensitivity is correctly adjusted, as described in the setup section.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your sensor.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, or cobwebs that could obstruct detection. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: When the low battery indicator activates, replace the batteries promptly. Use only recommended battery types.
- Regular Checks: Test the sensor periodically (e.g., monthly) by walking through its detection zone to ensure it is functioning correctly and communicating with the control panel.
- Tamper Switch: Ensure the sensor casing is always securely closed to prevent tamper alarms.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your IVP 7000 SMART EX sensor, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- False Alarms:
- Check for heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight) or strong air currents (vents, open windows) in the detection zone.
- Adjust PIR sensitivity to a lower setting.
- Ensure pet immunity is correctly configured and pets are within the specified weight limit.
- Clean the sensor lens.
- No Detection:
- Verify batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Check if the sensor is properly paired with the control panel.
- Ensure the detection area is clear of obstructions.
- Increase PIR sensitivity if needed.
- Low Battery Indication:
- Replace the batteries immediately with new ones of the correct type.
- Tamper Alarm:
- Ensure the sensor casing is fully closed and secured.
- Check if the sensor is firmly mounted to prevent accidental removal.
