Frequently Asked Questions - FBM 100 KATHREIN

How do I install the FBM 100 PIR motion detector?

Install the detector indoors at a height of 1.8–2 m (2–2.2 yd) on a wall or corner. Use the supplied screws to attach the corner mount bracket, then clip the detector onto it. For direct wall mounting, use the screws through the indentations. Ensure the Learn button points upward. Avoid metal surfaces without insulation to prevent signal interference.

How do I pair the detector with my alarm panel?

Remove the battery insulation tab to power on the detector (LED flashes during 30-second boot). Open the alarm panel web interface, go to Sensors > Add, press Start. Press the Learn button on the detector. The panel will find the sensor; click Add to confirm.

What does the LED indicator mean?

Normally the LED does not flash. It flashes for 2 seconds after a motion if the battery is low. It flashes for 2 seconds during a tamper alarm. When in test mode (press Learn button 5 seconds), it flashes on every motion for 3 minutes.

How do I change the battery?

The detector uses a 3V CR123 lithium battery. When the battery is low, the LED flashes after motion and a notification is sent to the alarm panel. To replace, open the battery compartment, remove the old battery, insert a new one, and close the compartment.

What is the detection range and coverage?

The detector has a horizontal angle of 110° and can detect motion up to 12 m (13 yd) when installed at 2 m height. The detection pattern is fan-shaped with decreasing range at wider angles. Refer to the polar diagram in the manual for exact coverage.

How do I perform a range test?

Go to the alarm panel menu Sensors > Range > Start. Press the Learn button on the detector. The panel will display the signal strength (1–9). If strength is below 4 or fluctuates greatly, consider using a repeater.

What is the warm-up and rest mode?

After the alarm panel is armed, the detector enters a 1-minute warm-up phase during which detected motions do not trigger an alarm and extend the warm-up. After each detected motion, the detector enters a rest mode of about 1 minute to save battery. Both periods extend if motion is detected.

Can I use the detector outdoors?

No. The detector is designed for indoor use only. Operating temperature limits are -10°C to +45°C, and maximum humidity 85%. Exposure to outdoors or extreme conditions may cause damage.

How do I clean the detector?

Use a damp cloth to clean the surface, then dry it. Do not use cleaning agents as they may damage the housing.

How do I dispose of the detector?

Do not dispose of the device with household waste. Follow local regulations for electronic waste (WEEE). The product contains a lithium battery; dispose of batteries separately.

1. LED + Learn button
2. PIR sensor
3. Battery insulation tab (delivery sta
4. Tamper contact
5. Corner mount
6. Battery compartment

LED indicator:

Normally, the LED indicator does not flash. Please be aware of the following exceptions:

• If the battery runs low, the LED will flash for two seconds after a movement was detected.
• If a tamper contact of the PIR motion detector is triggered (tamper protection), the LED will flash for two seconds while transmitting the alarm signal.
• If you press the test button for approx. 5 seconds, the PIR motion detector will enter the test mode for 3 minutes. During this time, the LED will flash every time a motion is detected. Use the test mode to adjust the PIR motion detector suit to your individual security requirements.

Battery:

• The PIR motion detector requires a 3 V CR123 lithium battery. This battery will last approx. 2.5 years at an average of 20 detected motions per day.
• When the battery runs low, the PIR motion detector will transmit a notification to the alarm panel.

Connecting the PIR motion detector and putting it into operation

1. Remove the battery insulation tab at the back of the unit before the first use.
2. The PIR motion detector will now enter a boot process. This takes approx. 30 seconds and the LED will flash during this time. Please do not trigger the motion detection during this period – every detected motion during the boot process will result in an extension of the required time.
3. Open the web interface of the alarm panel and go to the menu "Sensors" → "Add" and press "Start".
4. Press the Learn button of the PIR motion detector.
5. As soon as the alarm panel has found the sensor, it is listed in the lower menu and you hear a brief signal tone from the alarm panel.
6. Click on "Add" to add the PIR motion detector to the sensor list.

Range test:

To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.

1. Open the alarm panel menu "Sensors" → "Range" and press "Start".
2. Press the Learn button of the PIR motion detector.
3. The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the indicated number the better the reception (1–9).
4. Click "Stop" to end the test.

Please note:

If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.

Installation:

• There are five holes at the back of the PIR motion detector (three slots, two small holes) – these are used to install the corner mount.
• Use the supplied screws to fasten the corner mount bracket to the wall. Then attach the PIR motion detector to the corner mount bracket.
• For direct wall mounting: Use the supplied screws to pierce through the indentations, then screw the unit to the wall.

• The horizontal angle of the PIR motion detector is 110°.
- The PIR motion detector will detect motions in a range up to 12 meters (13 yd) if it is installed at a height of 2 meters (2.2 yd).
- To ensure the optimal function of the PIR motion detector, make sure that the PIR motion detector is installed at a height of 1.8–2 meters (2–2.2 yd) and that the Learn button is pointing upwards.

Warm-up and rest mode:

Every time the alarm panel is armed or switched to home mode, the PIR motion detector enters a warm-up phase of approx. one minute. During this time, detected motions will not trigger an alarm. However, detected motions will increase the warm-up phase by an additional minute – make sure not to trigger the PIR motion detector during the warm-up phase in order to minimise the duration of the warm-up.

In order to save battery power, the PIR motion detector enters a rest mode after every detected motion (irrespective of the mode of the alarm panel). The rest mode takes approx. one minute and every registered motion during the rest mode will extend its duration.

• Do not install the PIR motion detector in the detection range of another sensor (e.g. an additional motion detector with a light in front of your door).
• Do not expose the PIR motion detector to direct sunlight.
• The PIR motion detector registers movements in the temperature field. Thus, it can also be triggered by the movements of air currents. Make sure not to install the PIR motion detector in areas where air currents with different temperatures may cause movements (e.g. above radiators/stoves/furnaces, heated floors, air conditioning, staircases, or behind windows).
