Model STI-WS103 STI PIR MOTION SENSOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS For use with STI Wire-Free Home Protection System Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference. Kit contents: 1 Motion Sensor 1 Ball-head joint mounting bracket 3 Screws and wall plugs 1 Installation and operating instructions 1. Introduction The STI PIR Motion Sensor is designed to trigger the STI Wire-Free Home Protection System Smart Panel when it senses movement in a given area. Note: When pets are in the home, it is advised that they are not allowed onto higher surfaces (above 3 feet in height) because they may trigger the sensor. 2. Location First determine the location of the Sensor, which should be placed: On a solid surface between 6ft to 8ft (1.8m to 2.4mm) from the floor. Near key entry/exit points. Away from extreme temperature sources (radiators, ovens, stoves, etc.) and large metal objects that could interfere with the wireless performance. Away from direct sunlight. Indoors only and not behind partitions, curtains, etc. Where better RF performance can be achieved (if necessary). Mount as high as possible to avoid easy access. Location in a corner will ensure wider room coverage. 3. Installation and Operation 3.1 Powering up the Motion Sensor Remove the battery cover, insert and connect a 9V battery as shown in diagram and replace the cover (requires 1 x 9V battery). Low battery indication: If the batteries need to be replaced, the RED LED will flash (not including entry/exit delay flashing). 3.2 Installing the Motion Sensor Hold the enclosed mounting template against the wall at the selected location and mark the points for drilling. Drill the holes and insert wall plugs. Attach the bracket to the mounting surface with the screws provided. Attach the Motion Sensor to the mounting bracket. 3.3 Sensor sensitivity IMPORTANT The Motion Sensor is designed with a power saving program and will remain inactive for 3 minutes after each detection. Please bear this in mind during system set up. The sensitivity of the Motion Sensor is adjustable and can be changed by setting the connector on either the High, Middle or Low position. When the sensitivity is set to Low, more movement is required to trigger the sensor. It is recommended to set the sensitivity to Low and perform a Walk Test (described in section 3.4). If the walk test result is satisfactory, the sensitivity does not require further adjustment. If the walk test results show the sensitivity is too low, then the sensitivity can be set to Middle or High as required. It is recommended a walk test be conducted after each change in sensitivity setting. 3.4 Walk test After mounting the sensor at the desired location, it is important to perform a walk test in order to determine if the sensor is detecting the correct area. The distance at which the sensor can detect motion can be adjusted by altering the angle of the sensor. To reduce the detection range, simply move the sensor downward and move the sensor upward to maximize the range. Note: Enter into ALERT mode before you perform the walk test, so the alarm is not triggered. You should walk in the area you would like the sensor to monitor. If movement is detected, the red light inside the unit will appear. If the red light does not appear, adjust the mounting angle accordingly. Perform the walk test again after 3 minutes. Repeat this procedure until motion is detected. While carrying out the test, there should be no movement in the detection area during the 3 minute interval. * Tips: The sensor should not face towards direct Move the sensor Move the sensor sunlight, be placed near heat or cold producing upward to maximize downward to reduce the range. the range devices (i.e. air conditioning, radiators, fans, ovens, heaters, etc.) that may cause false triggers. Also perform the walk test in areas which the sensor is not intended to cover, to ensure movement cannot be detected. 4. House Security Code Settings Unless the factory settings of the Wire-Free Home Protection System Smart Panel have been altered, the House Security Code will NOT need to be changed. However, if the settings on the Smart Panel have been altered, or need to be altered to solve the problem of the Smart Panel and sensors activating intermittently (or not working at all) or interference with another system, then the House Security Code on all system modules (sensors and sirens) will also need to be changed. House Security Code settings can be altered as follows: There are 4 jumpers or dip-switches on each device. Remove the jumper compartment cover , then pull out or plug the jumper into the contacts to change the House Security Code. If a jumper is plugged it is ON, if it is removed it is OFF. Default code is with all the jumpers plugged. To ensure the system works correctly, make sure the jumpers on the Smart Panel and all other system modules (sensors and sirens) match exactly.
