- Attach the cover and tighten the cover locking screw.
WIRING
Terminal Arrangement
Basic connection
[When two units are used]
WIRING DISTANCE BETWEEN SENSOR AND POWER SOURCE
- Allow approx. one minute for warm-up after power is supplied.(Alarm LED is flashing) In the meantime, no alarm is initiated.
- After the one minute has passed, the unit will be in the armed condition and will trigger an alarm when detecting a human body.
Note
- Maximum wiring distance, when two or more sets are connected, is the value above divided by numbers of sets.
- The signal line can be wired to a distance of 3,280 ft (1,000m) with AWG 22 (0.65mm dia.) wire.
| Size of wire used | Distance at 12VDC | Distance at 24VDC |
| AWG 22 (Dia.0.65mm) | 2500ft ( 750m) | 14000ft ( 4400m) |
| AWG 18 (Dia.1.0mm) | 4600ft (1400m) | 28000ft ( 8500m) |
| AWG 16 (Dia.1.25mm) | 8500ft (2600m) | 50000ft (15200m) |
FUNCTION
MODE SELECTOR
Sensor operation can be adjusted to fit the environmentals / applications with the built-in mode selector.
ALARM LED
The alarm LED will light up, synchronized with the alarm contact, if you set the mode selector at ON.
ALARM MEMORY CHANGEOVER
Memory LED will inform you which sensor initiated an alarm during alert conditions when two or more sensors are connected on the same line.
When this setting is “ON”, memory is always stored when sensor is armed. \When an alarm has been activated, the memory LED \flashes for 3 min. and then remains lit for 47 min. \It automatically reset and memory is also canceled. \NOTE : Same LED is used to indicate alarm and alarm memory.
ALARM CONTACT CHANGEOVER
Change alarm contact to N.O. when sensor is used for an application other than security purpose, such as light control.
- ON ：N.O.
- OFF：N.C.
SETTING OF SENSITIVITY
When the operation checks resultin in excessive or insufficient high sensitivity of sensor, change setting of sensitivity Switch４・５ with a mode selector and re-check the operation. Four settings are available.
PROTECTION PATTERN CHANGEOVER
Two protection patterns (Wide angle/Long range) are selectable by replacing lens. Reselect the dip switch when exchanging lens (refer to “3. DETECTION AREA”). Do not set the switch OFF for long-range protection. ON
- ON ：LONG
- OFF：WIDE
FACTORY SET
LED CONTROL
LED can be remotely controlled from the control panel. Even after setting alarm LED OFF, combined use of alarm LED control terminal (6 LED Control) and power terminal (negative) enables to reset the mode back to alarm LED ON, which makes it easy to operate a walk test even after installation of the sensor.
TROUBLE ALARM
This function checks/monitors the sensor unit itself in accordance with the built-in program. When trouble is found out as a result of the check/monitor, alarm LED lights and an alarm signal also continuously outputs.
- Unit trouble
Trouble alarm outputs when inner circuit/wiring is damaged/broken. See “8. TROUBLESHOOTING” and remedy table.
NOTE :
The monitor functions regardless of mode settings but an alarm is not indicated in case of setting alarm LED at OFF position. When power is reset during the alarm status, trouble alarm stops only for warming up time. - Low voltage
When power voltage of sensor drops down (approx. 8.5V DC or less), trouble alarm outputs before sensor operation becomes unstable due to low voltage. See “8. TROUBLESHOOTING”
NOTE :
The monitor functions regardless of mode settings but an alarm is not indicated in case of setting alarm LED at OFF position. When power voltage recovers to normal level during the alarm status, trouble alarm stops.
OPERATION CHECK
When installation is completed, turn the power “ON” and check operation after about 1min. warming up time, as follows:
- Make sure that alarm LED finished flickering.
- Make a walk test in the protected area to check if an alarm is initiated. Check alarm LED and control panel for sensor operation.
- After correct operation has been confirmed, use the mode selector switch to disable the alarm LED, if required.
