Description and principle of operation

U-Prox PIR is a digital passive infrared radio channel sensor equipped with a PIR sensor and an animal-resistant lens. The device is designed to protect closed residential and industrial premises. Based on changes in the thermal balance of the environment, it sends a signal of intrusion to the U-Prox security alarm center. It is installed indoors. The sensor works only with the U-Prox security system; it cannot be connected to third-party systems.

Functional elements of the device

The device has the following functional elements:

1. The case of the sensor
2. Microphone hole
3. Light indicator of operating modes
4. PIR element lens
5. Backplate for mounting the sensor
6. Tamper contact
7. Back cover of the case
8. Power button

Power supply

The device uses a CR123A lithium battery, which allows it to operate for up to 5 years on a single battery.

Display in the current mode

The light indicator shows data transmission and sensor triggering. Data exchange with the security center is indicated by LEDs lighting up sequentially:

• Sensor triggering: Red LED.
• Data transmission: Green LED for successful transmission, Red LED for failed transmission.
• Receiving confirmation: Green LED for successful reception, Red LED for failed reception.

Steps 2 and 3 (data transmission and reception) can be repeated up to 3 times with increased power.

Installation

Selecting the installation location

Choose the installation location of the U-Prox PIR Combi device carefully, taking into account the direction of the lens, microphone, and any obstacles that may limit the sensor's view. The sensor should be installed in such a way that the area of the most likely glass breakage or intrusion is located in the sensor's maximum field of view, and the direction of the intruder's movement is perpendicular to the installation axis.

The diagram shows an 88-degree field of view.

To maximize the sensor's viewing area, install it at a height of 2.1 meters from the floor level.

The diagram illustrates detection ranges: 2.1m, 4.8m, 8.6m, 15m, with a weight limit of up to 20 kg for pet immunity.

The appliance must not be placed:

1. Outdoors or in rooms with unacceptable humidity and temperature.
2. In places with a high level of radio interference.
3. Near objects that can cause attenuation or shielding of the radio signal (metal, mirrors, etc.).
4. In such a way that direct sunlight hits the sensor lens.
5. Opposite objects with rapidly changing temperatures or in places with rapid air circulation.
6. Opposite moving objects with the human body temperature.
7. At a distance closer than 1 meter from the security center.

Recommended installation 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: The sensor can be placed either vertically or horizontally.)
3. Install the backplate.
4. Install the device.

Mounting the backplate

Two backplates are included: one for angled installation and one for flat installation of the device. Mount the desired type of backplate using the screws and dowels provided.

The diagrams show the process of attaching the backplate to a surface (wall or corner) using screws. The device is then placed on the backplate and slid downward to engage and lock the tamper contact. Flashes on the indicator light confirm that the tamper is locked.

WARNING! WHEN THE DEVICE IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY, THE TAMPER WILL BE CLAMPED (LOCKED).

Turning on and off

Press and hold the power button [power-button] for 3 seconds to turn on the device; the indicator light will be on.

If the device has already been registered in the security system, it switches to standby mode. To turn off the device, press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the light indication goes out.

WARNING. IF THE DEVICE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED, IT WILL GO INTO SLEEP MODE AFTER 30 SECONDS.

• Select the U-Prox MPX to which you want to add the wireless sensor from the list of devices.
• Press the button (+) ("Add radio device"). The security center enters the mode of registering sensors, keypads, etc. In this window, you can click on the device icons and view the instructions for activation.
• According to the instructions, turn on the wireless sensor and bring it to the security center at a distance of about 1 meter.
• Wait 15-20 seconds for the wireless sensor to be registered.

WARNING. THE DEVICE WILL BE ADDED TO THE FIRST FREE ZONE WITH THE LOWEST NUMBER.

The app will open the settings of the wireless sensor. Configure your device.

Basic settings of U-Prox PIR

Select the device you want to configure from the device list:

• "Name": The name of the device.
• "Group": Selects the security group to which the device belongs. A security group is a logical set of zones of a protected premises (e.g., a room, apartment, garage, floor of a building, etc.). A security group allows you to manage all zones simultaneously. Security groups are independent; the user can manage and view only those security groups, devices, and events in them to which they have been granted access.
• "Sensitivity": Setting the motion detection range of the sensor. Low is about 6 meters, Medium is about 8 meters, and High is about 12 meters.
• "Light indication": Turns on or off the light indication on the device.
• "Temperature limits notification": When the device exceeds specified temperature limits, it generates "Cooling" and "Overheating" events. Can be used in scenarios.
• "Setting" (zone type for the motion sensor, PIR): Device operating modes depending on the type of use.
  • a. "Delayed" or "Entrance zone": If the system is armed, the entry delay starts when the sensor is triggered. If the system is not disarmed during the delay, the system switches to the Alarm state and sends an alarm notification. If the system is armed, when the sensor is triggered, the system switches to the Alarm state and transmits an alarm notification.
  • a. "Without delay": If the system is armed and there is no entry delay or the delay time has expired, the system switches to the Alarm status and transmits an alarm notification. If the system is armed and there is an entry delay, the system does not respond to sensor triggering of this type. If the system is disarmed, the system does not respond to sensor triggering of this type.
  • a. "Corridor": If the system is armed and there is no entry delay or the delay time has expired, the system switches to the Alarm status and transmits an alarm notification. If the system is armed and there is an entry delay, the system does not respond to sensor triggering of this type. If the system is disarmed and there is a delay in exit, the system does not respond to the triggering of a sensor of this type.
  • a. "Internal corridor": If the system is armed, when the sensor is triggered, the system switches to the Alarm state and transmits an alarm notification. If the system is armed in the Perimeter mode ("Stay" or "Night mode"), the system does not respond to sensor triggering of this type. If the system is disarmed, the system does not respond to the triggering of a sensor of this type.
  • 24-hour zone (around the clock): When the sensor is triggered, the system switches to the "Alarm" state and transmits an alarm notification in any system mode.

ONLY FOR THE DELAYED INSTALLATION TYPE ("INPUT ZONE")

• "Delayed entry": Time to disarm the security system after entering the premises.
• "Delayed exit": Time to leave the premises after arming or disarming.
• "Delay for entry in Stay Armed mode": Time for disarming the security system after entering the premises (arming in Stay, Night mode).
• a. "Intelligent Alarm Recognition": When this setting is enabled, motion sensors of this security group are combined into a single "smart zone" with the alarm confirmation function. When one of the sensors in the smart zone is triggered, a delay starts counting (20 seconds by default). If during this time the Alarm condition occurs for any sensor within this group, or a repeated Alarm condition occurs for the same sensor, or the sensor remains in the Alarm condition until the smart zone delay expires, an alarm signal will be transmitted to the security company.

Arming with a broken sensor

• "Forced arming after exit delay": If the sensor does not recover after the exit delay countdown, the system switches to the Alarm status and transmits an alarm notification.
• "Forced arming when the sensor is restored": The system waits for the sensor to be restored and switches it to the Armed mode.
