Overview

The NV5 is a motion detector designed for security applications, featuring advanced detection capabilities and flexible installation options. It is suitable for both residential and commercial environments, offering reliable intrusion detection with features to minimize false alarms.

Function Description:

The NV5 detector utilizes passive infrared (PIR) technology to sense motion within its coverage area. It is designed to detect the movement of people while offering pet immunity to prevent false alarms from small animals. The device can be configured with different profiles to adapt to various environmental conditions and security requirements, including settings for normal environments, moderate interference, pet-resistant applications, and harsh environments with high potential interference.

The detector processes signals based on either "single" or "dual" beam crossing, allowing for increased detection performance and false alarm rejection. The "single" processing type is suitable for partially crossing the beam, while "dual" requires full beam crossing for increased detection performance.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Installation Height: 2.1m – 3.1m (7.0 ft – 11.0 ft)
  • Current Consumption: 10.5 mA @ Standby / 11.3 mA @ Alarm
  • Power Input: 10 Vdc to 15 Vdc
  • Coverage: 10m (32.8 ft) x 90°, with a 0.1 to 0.5m (0.3 to 1.6 ft) creep zone
  • Alarm Output: Solid State, N.C. 150 mA
  • Anti-tamper Switch: N.C. 28 Vdc, 0.15A
  • Operating Temperature: -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122 °F) at 95% max. humidity
  • Dimensions: 9.1 x 5.5 x 4 cm (3.5 x 2.2 x 1.6 in.)
  • RF Immunity: EN 50130-4: 10V/m 80 MHz to 2 GHz
  • Standards: EN 50131-2-2 Security Grade 2 / Environmental Class I
  • Pet Immunity: Up to 16 kg (35 lbs)

Usage Features:

The NV5 offers versatile installation options, including wall mount, corner mount, and ceiling mount (with the optional SB100 bracket assembly). The back plate provides multiple knockout holes for wire pass-through and secure mounting.

Configuration is highly flexible through jumpers (13) and a sensitivity trimpot (6):

  • Profiles (1-4): Four pre-programmed profiles (Normal, Moderate, Pet Resistant, Harsh) can be selected using jumpers to adjust for expected interference levels (APSP) and detection processing type (EDGE). Each profile corresponds to a specific number of LED flashes during jumper setting changes.
    • Normal: For normal environments with minimal interference.
    • Moderate: For better false alarm rejection.
    • Pet Resistant: For environments with pets up to 16 kg (35 lbs).
    • Harsh: For high-risk environments with potential interference, providing increased false alarm immunity.
  • LED ON/OFF: Jumpers also control whether the LED indicator is active during an alarm.
  • Sensitivity Trimpot (6): This trimpot allows fine-tuning of the detector's range from 8m (26.3 ft) to 12m (39.4 ft). Turning clockwise increases sensitivity, while counter-clockwise decreases it. The default setting is 3 (10m / 32.8 ft).
  • Power-up Sequence: Upon power-up, the LED and relay toggle on/off for 4 seconds. The detector then performs a 10-second self-check, after which it is ready for alarm detection. During this sequence, the LED flashes indicate the trimpot position (1-5 flashes) and jumper setting (1-4 flashes).
  • Alarm Indication: When an alarm is detected, the LED turns ON for 3 seconds (if enabled).
  • Tamper Switch (8): The device includes a tamper switch that is pressed down when the front cover is attached and closed, providing security against unauthorized access to the detector's internal components.

Installation Recommendations:

  • Install the detector at 2.1m (7.0 ft) or higher.
  • Avoid areas with large temperature fluctuations (e.g., direct sunlight, heating/cooling equipment).
  • Do not install where airflow changes can cause objects to move into the detector path.
  • Prevent dust or residue accumulation on the detector.
  • Do not install in areas with pets weighing more than 16 kg (35 lbs) if pet immunity is not configured or if pets exceed the weight limit.

Maintenance Features:

The sensor (11) itself does not require maintenance. The device is designed for long-term reliability. Regular cleaning of the detector's exterior may be necessary to prevent dust or residue accumulation, which could affect performance. The tamper switch ensures that any attempt to open the device is detected, maintaining system integrity.
