PMD85-EI11 - Printed in Canada 06/2011
Detector Settings Beam Patterns
The PMD85 series features the following beam patterns:
Changing the PMD85 Lens
To c han ge t he PM D8 5 l en s:
1) Remove the top and bottom screws from the PMD85 front cover; remove the cover.
2) From the inside cover, remove the top and bottom screws holding the bezel into place.
3) Push and lift the locking tabs on both sides using a small screw driver. Gently lift the bezel out. Push the lens out and replace with new lens.
4) Align the tabs of the lens to the rubber gasket and secure into place. Ensure that there are no gaps between the lens and the rubber gasket
that would allow water to leak into the PMD85. Once the lens is replaced, reconnect the bezel and secure with screws.
Step DIP Details
1
LED Setting
LED Feedback
On for 4 seconds: Motion has been detected
Flash every 8 seconds: Low battery trouble (checked every 12 hours)
Rapid Flash: Sending signal to receiver
DIP Switch 1
OFF = LED indicator is deactivated
ON = LED indicator is activated U
2
Edge Processing Mode*
Single edge processing should be used in normal environments with minimal sources
of interference. Dual Edge Processing requires balanced detection from both sensor
elements and requires that a beam must be fully crossed even at close range. This
setting provides better false alarm rejection and is suitable to all lens types, including
curtain lenses. Use this setting if the detector is placed near sources of interference that
can adversely affect it.
DIP Switch 2
OFF = Dual edge U
ON = Single edge
3
Auto Pulse Signal
Processing Level*
APSP measures the energy from each detected signal and stores it in memory. To
generate an alarm, the memory must reach a required minimum level. APSP can be set
to normal level or high level. When APSP is set to normal level, the unit is calibrated to
detect the energy level which is typical to crossing one full single beam at the
maximum detection distance. When APSP is set to high level, the unit is calibrated to
detect the energy level which is typical to crossing two full beams at the maximum
detection distance. When APSP is set to high level, the detector is set for high-risk
environments (potential interference) and therefore provides greatly increased false
alarm immunity.
DIP Switch 3
OFF = APSP - High level
ON = APSP - Normal level U
4
Trimpot Sensitivity
The PMD85 features adjustable sensitivity. Adjust from 1 (lowest sensitivity = 50%) to 5
(highest sensitivity = 100%); default = 3U
WAR NI NG: Depending on the sensitivity setting, an alarm condition can be generated
between 0.25 sec. (highest) and 2 sec. (lowest) after the actual movement.
Viewing Sensitivity Settings: Remove the cover to view how many times the LED flashes,
then adjust the setting accordingly. The LED flashes a consecutive amount of times to
show the setting. Thus if the sensitivity is set to 3, the LED flashes 3 times.
Trimpot
Turn clockwise = Increase sensitivity
Turn counterclockwise = Decrease sensitivity
WAR NI NG: The sensitivity trimpot is fragile. Do not overtorque.
U= default settings
Note: DIP switch 4 is reserved for future use.
* The response for a single beam pattern, such as the Vertical Curtain lens, may be slow
at the maximum range, in such cases it is recommended that the unit be set to a single
edge and/or normal APSP setting.

*FCC ID: KDYMGPMD85 Canada: 2438A-MGPMD85
The PMD85 complies with par t 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
** 868MHz (only) is not UL ap proved.
†
The UL approved detec tion speed is 0.76m/s (2 .5ft/s).
‡ Tested at 25°C. Battery life expectancy will vary according to the amount of traffic (movement) the detector has processed and the
temperature outdoors. A higher check-in time interval and higher traffic will lower battery life. In colder temperatures, the capacity of
alkaline batteries is reduced.
