This Installation Manual shall be used in conjunction with the Installation
Manual of the DSC wireless receiver and control panel with which this
device is intended to be used.
Each WS8904 motion detector should be located so that it provides
optimal coverage of the intended area. Refer to Changing Motion
Detector Lenses below for information on the four lenses available for the
WS8904 Motion Detector.
Installing the Detector
When locating motion detectors, observe the following, for Wall-to-Wall,
Corridor and Curtain Lenses, the mounting height should be 6-10 ft./2-3m
from the floor. The nominal mounting height is 7.5 ft./ 2.3m. For the Pet
Alley Lens only, the mounting height should be 4-5 ft./1.2-1.5m from the
floor.
Consider the following to avoid false alarms:
•
Do not aim the detector at a stairwell to which a pet has access
•
Do not place furniture or objects higher than 3ft (0.9m) which a pet
can climb onto (e.g. a cat on a couch), closer than 6ft (1.8m) from the
detector
•
Mount the detector flat on a wall or in a corner. Do not angle it
downwards or use mounting brackets with this detector when it is
used in conjunction with pets
•
Do not aim the detector at reflective surfaces such as mirrors or
windows as this may distort the coverage pattern or reflect sunlight
directly onto the detector
•
Avoid locations that are subject to direct high air flow such as near an
air duct outlet
•
Do not locate the detector near sources of moisture such as steam or
oil
•
Do not limit the coverage by large obstructions in the detection area
such as plants or cabinets
•
For indoor use only (non-hazardous locations)
NOTE: No detector should be mounted without first performing a module
placement test to determine that it is in range of the wireless receiver. See
the Placement Test instructions in the Instruction Sheet for your receiver,
or in the Installation Manual for your system.
When a location has been selected, remove the plastic from the mounting
holes and locate the backplate on the wall and mark screw locations. It is
suggested that wall anchors be used for all screw locations. Secure the
backplate to the wall, and then secure the enrolled detector to its
backplate.
NOTE: Use only backplates marked as "Type-L". Using any other
backplates will result in the tamper switch being broken.
Enrolling a WS8904
On the back of the PIR housing, there will be a six-digit number.
Changing Motion Detector Lenses
Each motion detector is supplied with the Wall-to-Wall lens; three
additional lenses are available for the WS8904 motion detector. The charts
on the following page illustrate the range and coverage patterns of each
lens.
To change the lens, first open the motion detector by removing the screw
in the bottom of the battery compartment. With the screw removed, pull
the back of the detector away from the front case. Remove the lens holder
by pressing down on the top of the holder and pulling the holder away
from the case. When installing the new lens, ensure the grooved surface
faces the interior of the case, and the notches on the lens face the bottom
of the case. Replace the lens holder by snapping it back into place.
Reassemble the motion detector by first engaging the clips on the bottom
of the case. Close the case and then secure the case with the screw in the
bottom of the battery compartment.
Changing the Motion Detector Sensitivity
The motion detector features Fast and Slow detection modes, which are
set on jumper JP1. In a normal operating environment, the fast setting
provides the best detection.
In certain environments where rapid air movement, heaters and other
variables present problems, use Slow detection mode to stabilize the
detection. Jumper "JP1" is located at the top right under the battery
bucket of the circuit board. To change the setting from Fast to Slow, move
the jumper over one pin, as shown in Figure 4.
High Traffic Shutdown Mode
To prolong battery life, the motion detector uses a feature called High
Traffic Shutdown. When motion is detected, the device will transmit to the
receiver and will then shut down for three minutes. If motion is detected
again during the shutdown time, the unit will not transmit the event to
the receiver. The detector will thus remain in the shutdown mode until
three minutes after the first motion detected was transmitted. The
WS8904 - Installation Instructions
detector will transmit detected motion every three minutes. The High
Traffic Shutdown Mode affects testing the motion detector in two ways:
•
When performing the module placement test, the unit must be
tampered by removing the unit from the backplate and replacing it.
The placement test cannot be performed by creating motion in front
of the device.
•
When performing a system test, the unit must be left idle for three
minutes before testing can be performed. Once three minutes has
passed, create motion in front of the detector to see if the device is
both detecting motion and transmitting to the receiver.
Motion Detector Transmission Delay
A motion detector transmission is always delayed by 6 seconds. This is
necessary to prevent false alarms caused by a motion sensor transmitting
before a delay zone has a chance to report. This 6-second delay cannot be
altered or disabled.
Walk Test Mode
The motion detector has a walk test mode which will activate an LED for
testing purposes. During normal operation, the LED will not turn on. To
put the detector in walk test mode, create a tamper by removing the
detector from its backplate and then replacing it. Each time the detector
senses motion, it will flash the red LED. Six seconds after motion is
detected, the detector will send a signal to the receiver. The detector will
be in walk test mode until it has sent 10 transmissions. To test for catch
performance of humans, create motion in the entire area where coverage
is desired by walking perpendicular to the lens pattern. Should the
coverage be incomplete, readjust or relocate the detector.
NOTE: The Walk Test Mode will override the High Traffic Shutdown Mode.
NOTE: If the installer is activating the walk test mode or replacing a
battery, then he must create 10 alarm transmissions before leaving the
area, because the indicator is still working and will not stop working until
10 alarm transmissions have been sent.
Battery Installation (Fig.3)
•
This system is designed to work with the consumer grade batteries,
Energizer Lithium EL123AP, Panasonic Lithium CR123A or Duracell
Lithium Ultra 123. Do not install any other type. The reliability of the
security system depends on its batteries, and 'no name' or generic
brand batteries may not provide the best quality and dependability.
Use of another type of battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
•
Use a fresh battery. Most batteries have a "best before" date printed
on their packaging or on the batteries themselves. Buy batteries that
have a "best before" date of two years or more from your purchase
date.
•
Remove the motion detector from its mounting plate by holding the
sensor by its sides and pushing up. Remove the battery cover (see
Figure 3). Remove the old battery and install new battery. Place the
battery cover back on.
NOTE: Secure the battery cover with the small screw provided.
•
Replace the sensor on its mounting plate, making sure it snaps into
place. After the battery is installed, the detector will take 60 seconds
to warm up. During this time the LED will flash slowly.
NOTE: The polarity of the battery must be observed (see Figure 3).
Improper handling of lithium batteries may result in heat generation,
explosion or fire, which may lead to personal injuries.
WARNING: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERIES ARE INSTALLED
INCORRECTLY. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE
RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Keep away from small children. If batteries are swallowed, promptly see a
doctor. Do not try to recharge these batteries. Disposal of used batteries
must be made in accordance with the waste recovery and recycling
regulations in your area.
WARNING: The battery may explode if mistreated. Do not dispose
of in fire, recharge or disassemble.
