NOTE:

Installation Considerations
The DS860 is not recommended for installations containing pets or small animals. Use the DS820 or DS835 for such installations.

Standby Power:

Never install the detector in an environment that causes an alarm condition in one technology. Good installations start with the LED OFF when there is no target motion. It should never be left to operate with the tri-color LED in a constant or intermittent green, yellow, or red condition. Point the unit away from outside traffic (roads/alleys). Microwave energy will pass through glass and most common non-metallic construction walls.

NOTE:

Alarm Relay:

Avoid installations where rotating machines (e.g. ceiling fans) are normally in operation within the coverage pattern. Point the unit away from glass exposed to the outdoors and objects that may change temperature rapidly. The PIR detector will react to objects rapidly changing temperature within its field-of-view.

NOTE:

Eliminate interference from nearby outside sources.

Temperature Range:

Mounting
Select a location likely to intercept an intruder moving across the coverage pattern. The surface should be solid and vibration-free. Mounting height range is 6 to 8 ft. (1.8 to 2.4 m). Recommended mounting height is 7.5 ft. (2.3 m). Remove the cover. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the locking tab hole at the bottom front of the detector. Pull the cover up and forward.

U.S. Patent Numbers: Protected under one or more of the following U.S. Patent Numbers: #4,660,024, #4,764,755, #5,077,548, #5,208,567, #5,262,783, and #5,450,062. Other patents pending. Compliance: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry and Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

Remove the circuit board from the base. Loosen the Vertical Adjust Screw and slide the circuit board down, then out. Break away the appropriate thin-wall wire entrance and mounting hole coverings in the base. Using the base as a template and aligning it so that the detector will be mounted with the terminal block at the top and the PIR lens at the bottom, mark the location of the mounting holes on the mounting surface. Pre-start the mounting screws.

Route wiring as necessary. Route to the rear of the base and through the wire entrance. Make sure all wiring is unpowered before routing. Securely attach the base to the mounting surface. Return the circuit board to the base and tighten the Vertical Adjust Screw.

Establishing PIR Pattern Coverage

Turn the Microwave range adjust to minimum. Replace the cover and snap it into place. This will close the tamper switch. Wait two minutes minimum after applying power to start walk tests. During the warm-up period, the tri-color LED will flash red until the unit has stabilized (approximately 1 to 2 minutes) and has seen no movement for two seconds. When the tri-color LED stops flashing, the detector is ready to be tested. With no motion in the protection area, the tri-color LED should be OFF. If the LED is on, re-check the protection area for disturbances affecting the microwave or PIR technologies.

NOTE:

LED Operation

The detector uses a tri-color LED to indicate the various alarm and supervision trouble conditions that may exist. See chart below.

NOTE:

LED Steady red Steady yellow Steady green Flashing red Flashing red (4 pulse sequence) Unit alarm

Cause Microwave activation (walk test) PIR activation (walk test) Warm-up period after power-up Replace Unit

Walk test across the pattern at its farthest edge, then several times closer to the detector. Start walking from outside of the intended protection area, and observe the tri-color LED. The edge of the pattern is determined by the first green, PIR activation of the LED (or the first red activation if the yellow microwave LED activates first). Walk test from the opposite direction to determine both boundaries. The center of the pattern should be pointed toward the center of the intended protection area. The pattern may be moved 10 horizontally by rotating the lens window left or right.

If the detector experiences a Microwave or PIR self-test failure, it is in need of replacement. NOTE: During walk testing, the LED will light for the first technology (microwave or PIR) and then light red to indicate a detector alarm. The LED will not indicate activation of the second technology by lighting its color.

Slowly bring your arm up and into the pattern to mark the lower boundary on PIR alarm. Perform this task at 10 to 20 ft. (3 to 6 m) from the unit. Repeat from above for the upper boundary. The center of the pattern should not be tilted upward.

The ON position allows operation of the tri-color LED. If LED indication is not desired after setup and walk tests are completed, place in the OFF position. The OFF position does not prevent the LED from indicating supervision trouble conditions.

DS860 Series Installation Instructions

NOTE: If desired coverage cannot be achieved, try angling the coverage pattern up or down to assure the pattern is not aimed too high or low. The angle of the PIR pattern may be vertically positioned between -10 and +2 by loosening the Vertical Adjust screw and sliding the circuit board up or down. Moving the board up will angle the pattern downward. Tighten the screw snug when positioning is completed.

9.0

Maintenance

At least once a year, the range and coverage should be verified. To ensure continual daily operation, the end user should be instructed to walk through the far end of the coverage pattern. This ensures an alarm output prior to arming the system.

10.0 Coverage Patterns

The DS860 has a standard broad coverage pattern or an optional long-range coverage pattern. The protected coverage area is where the microwave and PIR patterns overlap. An optional Look Down lens is located under the detector. This lens must be unmasked before it is operational. Use caution to remove the black mask only. Do not attempt to remove the white lens assembly. The Look Down lens is not recommended for installations containing pets or small animals. The Look Down zone is shown in black on the Coverage Pattern drawings.

7.2
NOTE:

Establishing Microwave Coverage

It is important to wait one minute after removing/replacing the cover so the microwave portion of the detector can settle, and to wait at least ten seconds between the following walk testing procedures.

The tri-color LED should be OFF before walk testing. Walk test across the pattern at the intended coverages farthest end. Start walking from outside the intended protection area and observe the tri-color LED. The edge of the microwave pattern is determined by the first yellow, microwave activation of the LED (or the first red activation if the green PIR LED activates first). If adequate range can not be reached, increase the Microwave Range Adjust slightly. Continue walk testing (waiting one minute after removing/replacing the cover) and adjusting the range until the farthest edge of desired coverage has been accurately placed. Do not adjust the microwave range higher than required. Doing so will enable the detector to catch movement outside of the intended coverage pattern.

Establishing Detector Coverage

The tri-color LED should be OFF before walk testing. Walk test the unit from all directions to determine the detection boundaries. A detector alarm is signaled by the first red activation of the tri-color LED after an initial green or yellow activation.

Supervision Features
PIR/Microwave: The complete circuit operation of these subsystems is checked approximately every 24 hours. If the PIR or MW subsystem fails, the tri-color LED will flash red 4 times per cycle and the unit should be replaced. Default: If the microwave subsystem fails, the detector will default to PIR technology protection. The PIR signal sensitivity will automatically change from INT to STD.

10.1 Pattern Masking

The PIR coverage pattern may be masked using masking tape or electrical tape on the inside (grooved side) of the lens to cover the appropriate pattern areas as shown in the following illustrations. Always walk test for the desired coverage after masking.
