GENERAL INFORMATION

These passive infrared motion detectors are versatile wall-mounted units

employing Fresnel lenses and offering efficient protection patterns for

commercial and residential applications. Best coverage will be obtained if

mounting is selected such that the likely direction of intruder motion is

across the pattern.

When installed per the guidelines, the Split-Zone Optics technology in the

Aurora Series provides reasonable false alarm protection against pets and

other animals up to 40 lbs.

Special Instructions

for Installations Containing Pets

To take full advantage of the pet immunity in the Aurora Series, the guide-

lines below should be followed:

Mount the center of the detector 7 ft (2.1m) high.

Set the PIR sensitivity for Standard (STD).

Mount where animals cannot come within six feet of the detector by

climbing on furniture, boxes, or other objects.

Do not aim the detector at stairways that can be climbed by animals.

Note: This unit will provide immunity to false alarms for an individual

animal or a group of animals whose total weight is equal to or less than

40 pounds when the room temperature is above 50°F (10°C).

INSTALLATION

For optimal pet immunity performance, be sure to follow all the guidelines

described in the section “Special Instructions for Installations Containing

Pets.”

A. Normal Surface Mounting

Mount the unit to a firm vertical surface. The wall wiring hole should be no

more than 5/16” (8mm) in diameter.

1. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 2.

2. Refer to Figure 3. Knockout holes “A” in the base are for normal sur-

face mounting on a wall (remove PC board for full access to holes).
