Description and Principle of Operation
U-Prox PIR VB is a digital passive infrared radio channel sensor equipped with a PIR sensor and a “Vertical Barrier” lens (also known as “Curtain”) featuring a narrow horizontal field of view. The device is designed for indoor perimeter control, protecting glazed structures, windows, doors, garage doors, etc. Based on changes in the thermal balance of the environment, it sends an intrusion signal to the U-Prox security center. It is installed indoors. The sensor works exclusively with the U-Prox security system; connection to third-party systems is not supported.

security center is indicated by the following LED signals: a. Sensor activation ­ red b. Data transmission: Green ­ transmission successful Red ­ data transmission failed c. Receiving confirmation: Green ­ reception successful Red ­ data reception failed
Steps 2 and 3 may be repeated up to 3 times (with increased transmission power on repeats).
Installation
7.1 Selecting the Installation Location
Choose the installation location for the U-Prox PIR VB device carefully, taking into account the lens orientation and any obstacles that may limit the sensor’s view. The sensor should be installed so that the area with the highest likelihood of intrusion falls within its maximum field of view and the intruder’s movement is perpendicular to the installation axis.
To maximize the sensor’s field of view, install it at a height of 2.1 meters from the floor level.

The device must not be placed:
1. Outdoors or in environments with unsuitable humidity and temperature 2. In locations with high levels of radio interference 3. Near objects that may cause attenuation or shielding of the radio signal (e.g., metal,
mirrors) 4. So that direct sunlight falls on the sensor lens 5. Opposite objects with rapidly changing temperatures or in areas with strong air
circulation 6. Opposite moving objects at approximately human body temperature 7. Closer than 1 meter from the security center
It is recommended to perform the installation in the following sequence:
1. Register the sensor in the security system using the U-Prox Installer app 2. Select the installation location with the optimal signal using the U-Prox Installer app
(note that the sensor can be installed either vertically or horizontally) 3. Install the mounting bracket 4. Install the device
Mounting
1. The kit includes two brackets ­ one for angled installation and one for installation on a flat surface
2. Mount the appropriate bracket using the screws and dowels provided in the kit.

3. Install the device on the bracket and slide it downward to secure and lock the tamper contact (5). Flashes on the indicator light will confirm that the tamper is locked.

Basic Settings of U-Prox PIR VB
Select the device you want to configure from the list:
“Name” ­ the device name “Group” ­ select the security group to which the device belongs. A security group is a logical collection of zones within a protected premises (for example, a room, apartment, garage, or floor of a building) representing the minimal security unit. Security groups allow you to control all zones simultaneously; users can view only those groups, devices, and events for which access is granted. “Sensitivity” ­ set the detection range of the sensor: Low (about 6 meters), Medium (about 8 meters), or High (about 12 meters). “Light indication” ­ enable or disable the device’s light indicator “Temperature limits notification” ­ when the device exceeds the specified temperature limits, it will generate corresponding events (“Cooling” and “Overheating”). This can be used in various scenarios. “Setting” (zone type) ­ choose the operating mode of the device based on its intended use:
a. “Delayed” or “Entrance zone”: if the system is armed, triggering the sensor starts an entry delay. If the system is not disarmed during the delay, the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification. When arming, an exit delay will commence, after which the system will be armed.
b. “Without delay”: if the system is armed, triggering the sensor immediately switches the system to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification. If the system is disarmed, sensor triggering is ignored.
c. “Corridor”: if the system is armed and there is no entry delay (or the delay has expired), the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification; if an entry delay is active, sensor triggering is ignored; if the system is disarmed (or an exit delay is in progress), sensor triggering is ignored.
d. “Internal corridor”: if the system is armed and there is no entry delay (or the delay has expired), the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification; if an entry delay is active, sensor triggering is ignored; if the system is disarmed (or an exit delay is in progress), sensor triggering is ignored; and if the system is armed in Perimeter mode (“Stay” or “Night mode”), sensor triggering is ignored.
e. “Inner zone”: if the system is armed, triggering the sensor switches the system to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification; if the system is armed in Perimeter mode (“Stay” or “Night mode”), sensor triggering is ignored; if the system is

disarmed, sensor triggering is ignored. f. “24-hour zone” (around the clock): regardless of system mode, triggering the
sensor switches the system to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification. g. “Delayed entry” (only for the delayed installation type) ­ the time allowed to
disarm the security system after entering the premises. h. “Delayed exit” (only for the delayed arming type) ­ the time allowed to leave
the premises after arming or disarming. i. “Delay for entry in Stay Armed mode” (only for the delayed arming type) ­ the
time provided for disarming the security system after entering the premises (when arming in Stay/Night mode). j. “Delay to exit in Stay Armed mode” (only for the delayed installation type) ­ the time allowed to exit the premises after arming the Perimeter security mode (Stay/Night mode). k. “Intelligent Alarm Recognition” ­ when enabled, motion sensors within a security group form a single “smart zone” with an alarm confirmation function. When any sensor in the smart zone is triggered, a default delay (typically 20 seconds) begins; if an alarm condition occurs on any sensor during this period, a repeated alarm is triggered, or the sensor remains in alarm until the delay expires, an alarm signal is sent to the security company. l. “Arming with a broken sensor” ­ allows forced arming of a sensor even if it is malfunctioning, with options:
“Forced arming after exit delay” ­ if the sensor does not recover after the exit delay countdown, the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification. “Forced arming when the sensor is restored” ­ the system waits for the sensor to recover and then arms it. m. Special Settings: “Disable tamper” ­ when enabled, the device will not respond if the case is opened. “Disable alarm when communication is lost” ­ do not generate an alarm when communication with the device is interrupted.
