Description
The AP950PI is a passive infrared motion detector that is highly
sensitive to moving infrared sources. It features superior
immunity to RFI, vibration, static electricity, temperature
changes, and other false alarm sources.
The unit provides jumper-selectable sensitivity, mode, and LED
settings. The unit is designed to accept either the pet immune or
the standard mirror. The masks included allow the coverage
pattern to be modified for a wide variety of applications.
Parts
The following parts are included:
• PIR detector with pet immune mirror installed
• Standard mirror
• Two plastic masks
• Sheet of adhesive masking labels
• Cardboard undercrawl window mask
• One screw to secure the housings

Selecting a Location
• The unit can be mounted from 7 to 10 feet (2.1 to 3.0m) high
except for pet alley application (see Pet Alley Application), but
for optimum detection and pet immunity, mount the unit
between 7 and 8 feet (2.1 and 2.4m) high.
• Mount the unit on a rigid vibration-free surface.
• Mount the unit so the expected movement of an intruder is
across the fields of the detection pattern. See Figure 2.
• Do not locate the unit on a surface exposed to moisture.
• Do not locate the unit where it may be exposed to false alarm
sources, such as:
- direct sunlight
- heat sources (heaters, radiators, etc.) in the field of view
- strong air drafts (fans, air conditioners, etc.) on unit
• Do not locate the unit where the ambient temperature is below
0° F (-18°C) or above 122°F (50°C).
• Do not aim the unit at windows or glass doors.
CAUTION
You must be free of static electricity before handling sensor
circuit boards. Touch a grounded, bare metal surface before
touching circuit boards or wear a grounding strap.
