MOUNTING THE WIRELESS SENSOR TRANSMITTERS

You can install any combination of wireless sensor transmitters (Cat. No.
49-2585) and motion detectors (Cat. No. 49-2589), in up to 16 zones.

Follow these steps to mount each wireless sensor transmitter.

1.  Set the DELAY switch on the wireless sensor transmitter to MIN to
    protect a window or to MAX to protect a door.

    NOTE:  The MAX setting allows you to arm a sensor with a 60-second exit
           delay and a 30-second entry delay (see Instant/Delay Mode").
           (see Faxback Doc. #        , Operations)

           When set to MIN, the sensor immediately triggers the alarm when
           a window opens, even if you armed the system in the delay mode.

2.  Select a location for the wireless sensor transmitter.  We recommend 
    that you purchase enough sensors to protect the front and back door and
    any windows that are hidden from view or easily accessible (including 
    basement windows).

    NOTE:  The supplied sensor and magnetic switch are already connected. 
           If the wire is too long, you can shorten it by cutting it to the
           length required, stripping the ends, and re-connecting it to the
           magnetic switch.

3.  Remove the sensor's batteries and attach it to the wall using the 
    supplied screws, or use double-sided mounting tape (such as Radio Shack
    Cat. No. 64-2361).

    First attach the sensor's back cover to the wall, then slide the sensor
    onto the cover.  Replace the batteries (if you removed them) and close
    the battery compartment door.

4.  Align the arrows on the switch and magnet, and install the switch and 
    magnet using the supplied screws or double-sided mounting tape.

NOTES:  If you mount magnetic switches on metal doors or frames, ensure
        that they are no more than 3/16 of an inch apart.  On wooden
        surfaces, they can be up to 3/8 of an inch apart.

        Do not mount the magnet directly onto a metal surface.  If
        necessary, use a wood or plastic spacer.

        For sliding doors/windows, it is best to mount the magnet and
        switch at the bottom of the window.  This way, the magnet will make
        a "clean break" from the switch when the window is opened.

5.  Open the door or window.  The light on the sensor turns on each time 
    you open the door or window.

    Repeat Steps 1-5 for any additional sensors you want to install (in up
    to 16 zones).

NOTES:  To protect more than one door or window with a single sensor, use
        NC (Normally Closed)-type magnetic switches and loop them in series
        from one door or window to the next using 18-gauge wire.  Then
        connect both ends of the loop to the sensor.

        Radio Shack's Wireless Sensor Transmitter (Cat. No. 49-2585) has an
        NC magnetic switch and is compatible with your security console.

MOUNTING THE MOTION DETECTOR

Motion detectors are designed to detect motion in a specific area of your 
home.  For example, you might want to protect the area around a stereo 
system, jewelry box, or wall safe.

The supplied motion detector can "see" up to a distance of about 40 feet
with a 90 degree field of view.  It can be placed up to about 100 feet 
away from the console.

You can place the motion detector on a counter top or use the included 
mounting bracket.  The bracket lets you swivel the motion detector for the
best coverage.

NOTE:  The motion detector senses motion by detecting temperature changes.
       To help prevent false alarms, do not place the motion detector near
       a heating or air conditioning vent.

Secure the bracket to the detector's bottom using the supplied machine 
screw.  Then secure the bracket to the wall.  Finally, loosen the screw on
the hinge and adjust the detector to be level, then tighten the screw to 
hold the detector in position.

For the best coverage, place the motion detector at a height of 6 feet,
then position the lens so an intruder walks across its path rather than 
toward it.

Looking at the back of the motion detector, set the switch on the left side
to 1 (most sensitive) or 2 (less sensitive).  When set to 1, the motion
detector trips the alarm if any movement is detected.  When set to 2, the
motion detector must detect two movements or continuous movement within a
short time before it trips the alarm (this makes it less sensitive to
pets).

NOTE:  The motion detector senses motion by detecting a change in 
       temperature.  To help prevent false alarms, do not place the motion
       detector near a heating or air conditioning vent.

MAKING A PET ZONE

If you have a pet, you can help reduce the chance the pet will cause a
false alarm by blocking the motion detector's lower zones with the supplied
piece of masking tape.

To use the tape, place it over the lower zones of the detector's lens.

TESTING THE MOTION DETECTOR

The motion detector includes a special test mode.  Follow these steps to 
test the motion detector.

1.  Set the sensitivity switch to 1.

2.  Hold down TEST on the back of the motion detector until the LED on the
    front flashes twice.

3.  Release TEST and wait about 20 seconds.

4.  Walk past the motion detector.  The LED indicator lights as you move 
    and turns off if you keep very still or walk out of range of the 
    detector.

NOTES:  If the range is low (less than 30 feet), check that the detector is
        horizontal and at a height of at least 5 feet from the ground.

        The motion detector automatically switches back to normal operation
        after 2 minutes in the test mode.  If you want to switch it back 
        manually, press the TEST button.

To test the alarm, arm the console and wait about 45 seconds.  Then walk in
front of the motion detector and check that the alarm is triggered.

After the motion detector triggers the alarm, it automatically "locks out" 
for about 45 seconds to save battery power.
