TEST PROCEDURES
Important: Testing should be conducted with the protected area cleared of all people. Place the protective system's control in the Test mode for the Walk Test procedure. When the PIR senses movement, the system's console emits a beep, verifying that the PIR's transmitter signal has reached the control's wireless receiver.
The absolute range of all PIR units is subject to variation because of different types of clothing, backgrounds, and ambient temperature. For this reason, ensure that the most likely intruder routes are well within the PIR's protective zones and that Walk Testing is carried out along these routes.
WALK TEST
Test mode is initiated by removing and replacing the detector’s front cover, or by removing and replacing the sensor from the mounting plate.
Note: Each time you remove and replace the front cover, or remove and replace the sensor in the mounting plate, the sensor will transmit every alarm signal for 64 alarm events.
1.Remove front cover, and set the pulse count jumper as required in the installation (INT, STD or HARSH),
2.Enable the LED by placing the jumper link in the TEST position (see Figure 4 for jumper location).
Note: Removing the front cover, or removing the sensor from the mounting plate, will also enable the LED.
3.Replace front cover and walk through protective zones, observing that the detector's LED lights whenever motion is detected (the LED serves as a Walk Test indicator during this procedure).
4.After the Walk Test is completed, disable the LED by placing the LED jumper link in the Normal position. Failing to do so will reduce the battery life. (see Figure 4.)
MAINTAINING PROPER OPERATION
In order to maintain the detector in proper working condition, it is important that the user observes the following:
1.Replace all three batteries within seven (7) days after a "low battery" message has appeared in the system's display.
2.Detectors should never be
3.The physical surroundings of the protected area should not be changed. If furniture or stock is moved, or air conditioning or additional heating is installed, the PIR may have to be readjusted.
4.Walk Tests should be conducted frequently (at least weekly) to confirm continued proper coverage.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION WITH PETS
To take full advantage of the pet immunity in the 5894PI, the guidelines below should be followed:
•Mount the center of the detector 7.0 feet high.
•Set the Pulse Count to Standard or Harsh.
•Mount where animals/rodents cannot come within six feet of the detector by climbing on furniture, boxes, or other objects.
•Do not aim the detector at stairways or furniture / objects that can be climbed by an animal.
Note: This unit will provide immunity to false alarms for an individual animal or a group of animals whose total weight is equal to or less than 80 pounds when the room temperature is above 50° F.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Trouble 1: INTERMITTENT ALARM
Probable Causes:
A.Rapid temperature change. Check for electric or gas heaters, open flames, electric arcs, etc.
Remedy: Locate source and
B.Drafts causing drapes, light fixtures, display material to move. Remedy: Eliminate source of motion.
Trouble 2: LED INOPERATIVE DURING WALK TEST
Probable Causes:
A.LED control jumper set to NORMAL position.
Remedy:
B.LED malfunction. Check for broken/shorted leads. Remedy: Return unit for service.
Trouble 4: SUPERVISION FAILURE
Probable Causes:
A.When enrolling the detector, a tamper signal was used to transmit the detector serial number, and the panel enrolled the detector with a loop type “4”, or the wrong device was learned.
Remedy: Ensure the serial number and loop types are correct for each detector; if the detector loop type is programmed as “4”, manually change it to “1” at the panel. If the wrong device was learned, enroll the detector again (see Programming on page 2).
B.The detector was placed in a location where the RF signal is not strong enough.
Remedy: Repeat the directions to verify the transmission path (see the Radio Transmission Path Check section on page 2). If necessary, move the detector to a new location.
Trouble 5: UNIT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE OPERATING
Trouble 3: LED OPERATIVE WITH LED JUMPER LINK SET TO NORMAL (OFF) POSITION
Probable Causes:
A.The sensor is not mounted squarely on the wall, (the wall tamper switch is not depressed.)
Remedy:
B.The sensor’s front cover is not installed. Remedy: Replace the sensor’s front cover.
Probable Cause:
A.Unit is not receiving power.
Remedy: Check for appropriate battery voltage. Install new batteries if necessary. Be sure to change all batteries.
Trouble 6: UNIT IS ALWAYS IN TEST MODE
Probable Cause:
A.The sensor front cover was removed and replaced, or the sensor was removed and replace in the mounting plate, so the sensor is transmitting every alarm signal for 64 alarm events.
Remedy: Wait for the sensor to transmit 64 alarm events.
