General Description NV37MR
Thank you for choosing the NV37MR Wireless for your professional
protection needs. The NV37MR wireless version will provide you the
most advanced window and sliding doors protection either in Pet
Immune or Sharp mode. If you have any comments please write to us
at Paradox.com/products/feedback.
Recommended Installations (please read)
Outdoor installation permits placements within frames of sliding
windows or doors and presumes protection from raindrops. This
ensures best catch performance, anti-masking ability, and pet alarm
immunity.
Other installations are possible but in outdoor conditions, pet immunity
can decrease. Moreover, space near the detector must be clear from
obstacles from a distance of 30 to 40 cm (11.8 to 15.7 in.) within its
pattern.
Installing the NV37MR
1. Remove the front cover - open the Captive screw.
2. Remove the Main Unit: open the two snap-lock mechanisms on
each side of the back cover attaching the Main Unit to the back
cover, then remove the Main Unit.
3. Mount the back cover of the NV37MR onto the window frame or
wall using screws.
Note: PLEASE KEEP AT LEAST 4 cm / 1.5 in. clearance from
window/shutter.
4. Attach the Main Unit to the back cover - ensure the locks snap
closed.
5. Insert two AA batteries.
6. Set the following Detector settings according to requirements.

7. Close the front cover and tighten the captive screw.
Note: Do not obscure the detector's field of view.
Note: On MG/SP panels, the anti-masking is reported as a tamper.
Tamper recognition must be enabled in panel programming.
On EVO panels, it is reported as anti-masking if it is enabled in
the panel programming.
Testing the NV37MR
Perform a Walk-Test to test successful installation:
1. Walk slowly across the far end of the detection range.
2. Ensure detection.
Walk test mode lasts 5 minutes after the tamper screw is closed.
Learning the NV37MR
For more information on configuring the NV37MR via the panel, refer
to the panel’s respective programming guide.
1. Enter the appropriate section number.
2. To learn the module, loosen the captive screw until the tamper is
open. After the module is learned, tighten back the captive screw.

Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The Paradox NV37MR is a wireless outdoor/indoor window and sliding door dual detector, designed for professional protection. It incorporates anti-masking capabilities and pet immunity, making it suitable for a variety of security applications. The device is available in a wireless version, offering advanced protection for windows and sliding doors in either Pet Immune or Sharp mode.

Function Description

The NV37MR functions as a security detector, identifying intrusions through windows and sliding doors. Its dual detection modes, Pet Immune and Sharp, allow for flexible application depending on the environment and specific security needs.

In Pet Immune mode, the detector is designed to differentiate between human intruders and small animals, such as pets, thereby reducing false alarms. This is particularly useful in residential settings or areas where pets may be present. The device's ability to resist false alarms from birds and other small animals enhances its reliability in outdoor or semi-outdoor installations.

In Sharp mode, the detector provides a more sensitive and focused detection, suitable for environments where even small movements need to be detected without the need for pet immunity. This mode is ideal for high-security areas or when the presence of pets is not a concern.

The anti-masking feature is a critical security aspect of the NV37MR. It actively detects attempts to obstruct or "mask" the detector's field of view, such as by spraying liquids or placing objects in front of it. This ensures that the detector remains operational and cannot be easily disabled by intruders. The anti-masking detection is reported to the security panel, either as a tamper event (on MG/SP panels) or specifically as an anti-masking event (on EVO panels), provided it is enabled in the panel programming. A flashing orange LED indicates a pre-mask situation, alerting users to potential tampering attempts.

The detector also includes a tamper switch, which triggers an alarm if the device's cover is opened or if it is removed from its mounting surface. This provides an additional layer of security against unauthorized access or removal of the detector.

Usage Features

The NV37MR is designed for ease of installation and configuration. It can be mounted on window frames or walls, with a recommended clearance of at least 4 cm (1.5 in.) from the window or shutter to ensure optimal performance. An optional mounting bracket (SB35) is available for specific installation needs.

The device's sensitivity level can be adjusted using a trimmer, allowing installers to fine-tune its detection range and responsiveness to suit the specific environment. The selected sensitivity level is indicated by green LED flashes during configuration.

DIP switches provide further customization options:

• LED On/Off: The LED indicator can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, it provides visual feedback during walk-tests and indicates alarm conditions.
• PET Immunity/SHARP Mode Selection: This switch allows users to easily toggle between the Pet Immunity and Sharp detection modes.
• Anti-mask On/Off: The anti-masking feature can be enabled or disabled as required.
• Anti-mask Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the anti-masking detection can be set to high or low, depending on the environmental conditions and desired level of protection.

Recommended installations emphasize placement within frames of sliding windows or doors to ensure optimal catch performance, anti-masking ability, and pet alarm immunity. While other installations are possible, outdoor conditions may reduce pet immunity. It is crucial to keep the space near the detector clear of obstacles for a distance of 30 to 40 cm (11.8 to 15.7 in.) within its detection pattern.

A Walk-Test mode is available to verify successful installation and proper detection. After closing the tamper screw, the device enters a 5-minute walk-test period, during which users can walk across the detection range to ensure it triggers alarms correctly.

The LED display provides clear status indicators:

• Tamper open: Green LED flashes for 0.3 seconds every 30 seconds.
• PIR sensitivity level setting: Green LED flashes 1-3 times according to the selected level.
• Alarm detection: Red LED turns ON for 2 seconds. In Power Save mode, the red LED blinks.
• Booting/Tamper close: Green/Red alternating flashes for 30 seconds.
• Anti-mask detection: Flashing orange LED indicates a pre-mask situation, flashing ON/OFF 3 times every 30 seconds for as long as anti-mask is detected.

Maintenance Features

The NV37MR is designed for straightforward maintenance, primarily involving battery replacement and periodic testing.

Battery replacement is a simple process, requiring the insertion of two AA batteries. The device includes a low battery voltage signal, alerting users when the batteries need to be replaced. This proactive notification helps ensure continuous operation and prevents unexpected security gaps.

Learning the NV37MR into the security panel is a key maintenance and setup procedure. This involves entering the appropriate section number on the panel and then loosening the captive screw to open the tamper. Once the module is learned, the captive screw is tightened back. This process ensures secure communication between the detector and the security system.

Regular walk-tests are recommended to ensure the detector continues to function correctly over time. The walk-test mode, lasting 5 minutes after the tamper screw is closed, allows users to verify detection performance.

The device's robust design and IP54 outdoor protection rating contribute to its durability and reduced maintenance needs in various environmental conditions. The anti-masking feature also acts as a maintenance indicator, alerting users to any attempts to obstruct the detector, which might otherwise go unnoticed and compromise security.

The modular design, with a removable main unit, simplifies installation and any potential servicing. The back cover is mounted first, and then the main unit is attached, ensuring a secure fit. The front cover is then closed and secured with a captive screw.

Overall, the Paradox NV37MR offers a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for securing windows and sliding doors, combining advanced detection capabilities with practical usage and maintenance features.
