1.INSTALLATION HINTS

8.3 ft. (2.5m) max

Maximum mounting height is 8.3ft.(2.5m).
Mount the detector directly to a wall or ceiling with the optional bracket(model CA-1W or CA-2C).


Avoid moving objects in the detection area (i.e. swaying trees, bushes, etc.).

Aim the detector at wall or the ground, to aviod unwanted detection.

When using the pet alley area, the mounting height should be between 4-5ft.(1.2-1.5m).

Avoid looking directly at air conditioning or heating vents.

Avoid vapor or high humidity that can cause condensation.

- Pet Alley Area

This product detects temperature differences between the moving object and the background temperature in the detection area. So, if the object dose not move, the detector can not detect it, and changing of the temperature differences may affect the detector's detection range.
Additionally, since this product has directional characteristic it is difficult to detect the target that is approaching the detector.

4.INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Installation on wall



Installation on ceiling



Use optional ceiling mount bracket "CA-2C".
3 NOTE!

If you have problems of wiring through the back of the detector, remove adjustment screw and remove the PCB from the base.(see illus.)
4

Power supply wires should not exceed the following lengths.
| wires size | |
| AWG22(0.33 mm 2 ) | 1070ft(320m) |
| AWG20(0.52 mm 2 ) | 1700ft(510m) |
| AWG18(0.83 mm 2 ) | 2700ft(820m) |
5

Set the Day/Night mode adjustment to the "24HR" setting(DAY).

Set Pulse Count to "TEST" mode. Adjust sensitivity setting (see section 6-2 and 3).
6

Replace the cover and supply power to unit.
After the warmup period is complete (approx. 60 sec.), conduct Walk Test.
The LED Indicator lights when the unit detects moving object.
7 After conducting Walk Test.

Set the Day/Night mode adjustment to the NORMAL position(·). (If night only operation is required, see section 6-1)

Set Pulse Count to the "2" position. (see section 6-1 and 2).
8

After wiring, pack the provided sponge into the opening between each wires and the knockout hole.

Select HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW sensitivity(H,M,L). Fasten cover with the cover screw. (see section 6-3)
5.OPTIONAL BRACKETS
Note ! Maximum mounting height is 8.3 ft (2.5m)

1. Day/ Night Mode
Adjust the Day/Night Mode switch of the detector according to the brightness of the surrounding area.

NIGHT DAY
NORMAL Position
: To have the standard detector function only during evening/night time, set the dial to the reference position (·).

NIGHT DAY
: To have the detector begin to function while the surrounding area is lighter, turn the dial gradually to the DAY side.

NIGHT DAY
: To have the detector function only after it has become dark, turn the dial gradually to the NIGHT side.

NIGHT DAY
: To have the detector function at all time, or to perform a walk test, set the dial to the DAY position.
Unit is pre-set at "NORMAL" position.
2. Pulse Count Switch

"2" mode
: Select "2" for normal applications. (STANDARD Position)

"TEST" mode
: Select "TEST" mode when conducting WALK TEST, or for use in extremely stable environments.
Unit is pre-set at "2" position.
3. Sensitivity Switch

M
: Use "M" position for normal applications. (STANDARD Position)

H
: Use "H" Position when you need high sensitivity. (ex.Pet Alley Area)

。
: Use "L" position in areas that may be unstable.
Unit is pre-set at "M" position.
7. DETECTION AREA ADJUSTMENT
Changing vertical detection area
1.Multi-Level Area

Use this area for normal applications.
Unit is pre-set at "Multi-Level" setting.
2.Pet Alley Area

Provide a horizontal detection pattern with no declination of zones, allowing pets to move through the area.
Selecting Pet Alley Pattern

Carefully loosen the adjustment screw.

Slide the cover down and fasten the screw at the "P" position.

Flip the Mirror to the upper position.
NOTE! Sensitivity setting must be one step higher position when pet alley area is selected.
NOTE! Pet Alley Area will not function if two changes are not performed.
Eliminating unwanted detection zones
(LX-402 only)
Unwanted detection zones can be eliminated by simply masking the lens with the provided masking strip, as follows:
1.

Remove cover and apply strip to the inside of lens on the zone to be eliminated.(see illus.)
2.

Example: ZONE "a" can be eliminated by masking the lens at area "a" (see illus.).
8.TROUBLE SHOOTING
| PROBLEM | PROBABLE CAUSE | REMEDY |
| LED does not light up. | Improper power supply voltage. (disconnection, low voltage) | Confirm the power supply is under specification. |
| Wrong polarity | Switch positive and negative at terminal. | |
| The detector is in warm up period. | Wait for.(approx. 60 sec.) | |
| The Day/Nigth Mode Adjustment knob setting is inappropriate. | See section 6-1. Confirm the adjustment knob. | |
| Incorrect detection area. | See section 2. | |
| LED lights up even though no one is in detection area. | Moving object within area. (curtain, wall hanging, etc.) | Remove the object from the detection area. |
| Improper power supply voltage. | Confirm the power supply is under specification. | |
| The unit is detecting presons, cars or other objects beyond the set area. | Check the detection area. | |
| Temperature of object within area is changing rapidly (heater, air conditioning, etc.) | Remove the heat sources from the detection area. | |
| The LED lights up, but there is no relay output | Relay contact is stuck or damaged due to overloading. | Check load of output. The unit needs repair or replacement. |
| Faulty wiring. | Wire correctly. | |
| Alarm output connects to other devices as follows. when NC output is used:connect in parallel. when NO output is used:connect in series. | when NC output is used:connect in series. when NO output is used:connect in parallel. |
