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 reposition detector.
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.
Remedy: Reposition jumper to TEST position.
B. LED malfunction. Check for broken/shorted leads.
Remedy: Return unit for service.
While the Intrusion Detector is a highly reliable intrusion detection device, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary. Any Intrusion
Detection device is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons:
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in this installation manual.
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be
detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams.
• Passive Infrared Detectors cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass
doors, or windows.
• Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the lenses, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce the
detection ability of the Passive Infrared Motion Detector.
• Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature
range of 32° to 40°C, the detection performance can decrease.
• This Passive Infrared Detector will not operate without the appropriate battery installed, or if the battery is weak or improperly connected (i.e.,
reversed polarity).
• Passive Infrared Detectors, like other electrical devices, are subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as
10 years, the electronic components in it could fail at any time.
We have cited some of the most common reasons that a Passive Infrared Motion Detector can fail to catch intrusion. However, this does not imply that
these are the only reasons, and therefore it is recommended that weekly testing of this type of unit, in conjunction with weekly testing of the entire
alarm system, be performed to ensure that the detectors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners,
property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about these
developments.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation

Trouble 3: DETECTION AREA CHANGES
Probable Causes:
A. Repositioned furniture or equipment in the protected area.
Remedy:

B. Mounting surface is unstable. A few degrees of vertical shift can
change range substantially.
Remedy: Mount on secure surface.
Trouble 4: UNIT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE OPERATING
Probable Causes:
A. Unit is not receiving power.
Remedy: Check for appropriate battery voltage. Install new batteries if
necessary. Be sure to change both batteries.
