Indoor/Outdoor PIR Motion Sensors Installation Instructions
Indoor Motion Sensor Lens Replacement
1. To change the lens, first remove the sensor from its mounting plate by depressing the button
on the top of the sensor.
2. Remove the cover by depressing the two tabs on the top and the one tab on the bottom of the
sensor body and sliding the cover off (see Figure 8).
3. Remove the installed lens by gently placing pressure on the lens from the outside of the lens.
4. Replace with the appropriate lens by aligning its notches with the appropriate tabs in the
cover.
5. Install the new lens with the smooth side facing out and the grooved side facing in.
6. Replace the cover and then replace the sensor in its mounting plate.
Animal Alley Lens Guidelines
The optional animal alley lens (part #60-709) provides protection in installations where pets
move about freely. See Figures 2 and 4 for coverage.
Allowed mounting height is between 3 and 5 feet.
Be sure to use the flush-mount position or the corner mount position with the back of the PIR
parallel to the walls. Do not use the inclined mount position since this would tilt the PIR’s
field of view downward.
Position the sensor to have a clear line of sight across the protected room.
For best results, install the sensor higher than the highest point that the pet might reach in the
detection area.
If the detection area contains furniture or other objects upon which the pet could climb or
jump, either remove these objects, mount the PIR a safe distance above these objects, or mask
these areas.
Setting the Sensitivity
The PIR is set to standard sensitivity at the factory. This sensitivity is preferred for most applica-
tions and provides the best immunity to false alarms.
1. Locate the sensitivity pins by first removing the mounting plate and the sensor cover as
described in steps 1 and 2 of the Lens Replacement process.
Note
If the shorting jumper is not
used or placed incorrectly,
the sensor defaults to stan-
dard sensitivity.
Figure 7. Sensitivity Pins Locations
2. Locate the sensitivity pins under the battery on the right side of the PIR when looking at the
front of the PIR.
3. To change to high sensitivity, move the shorting jumper to the pair of pins that are closer to
the top of the PIR (see Figure 7).
4. Walk test the PIR to verify sensitivity.
High sensitivity should only be used in extremely quiet environments where thermal
transients are not expected.
