CENTRAL 5000 Monitored Wireless Security Alarm System (490-2570) Mounting Sensors Faxback Doc. # 32977 MOUNTING ACCESSORIES MOUNTING THE DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR TRANSMITTERS You can install any combination of door/window sensor transmitters (Cat. No. 49-2585) and motion detectors (Cat. No. 49-2589), in up to 16 zones. Follow these steps to mount each door/window sensor transmitter. 1. Set the DELAY switch on the door/window sensor transmitter to MIN to protect a window or to MAX to protect a door. NOTE: The MAX setting lets you arm a sensor transmitter with a 60 second exit delay and a 30-second entry delay (see "Instant/ Delay Mode", on Faxback Doc. # 19416). When set to MIN. The sensor transmitter immediately triggers the alarm if it is triggered after the exit delay. 2. Select a location for the door/window sensor transmitter. We recommend that you purchase enough sensor transmitters to protect the front and back door and any windows that are hidden from view or easily accessible (including basement windows). 3. The supplied sensor transmitter and magnet switch are connected. If the wire is too long, shorten it by cutting it to the length required stripping the ends, and reconnect it to the magnetic switch. 4. Remove the sensor transmitter's batteries and attach it to the wall using the supplied screws or double-sided tape (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 64-2361). Then replace the batteries (if you removed them) and close the battery compartment door. 5. Align the arrows on the switch and magnet, then install the switch and magnet using the supplied screws or double-sided tape. NOTES: Do not mount the magnet directly onto a metal surface. If necessary, use a wood or plastic spacer. 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. For sliding doors/windows, it is best to mount the magnet and switch so the magnet makes a clean break from the switch when the door or window is opened. 6. Open the door or window. The light on the sensor transmitter turns on each time you open the door or window. Repeat Steps 1-6 for any additional sensor transmitters you want to install (in up to 16 zones). NOTES: To protect more than one door or window with a single sensor transmitter, 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 censor transmitter. You cannot use NO (Normally Open) magnetic switches with this sensor transmitter. MOUNTING THE MOTION DETECTOR Motion detectors protect a specific area of your home. For example, you might want to protect a stereo system, jewelry box, or wall safe. The supplied motion detector sees 40 feet with a 90 degree field of view. Place it within 100 feet of the console. You can place the motion detector on a countertop or use the included 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 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. Set the switch on the detector's back to 1 (most sensitive) or 2 (least 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 to trip the alarm. 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 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 indicator flashes twice. 3. Release TEST and wait about 20 seconds. 4. Walk past the motion detector. The indicator lights as you move and turns off if you keep still or walk out of the detector's range. NOTES: If the range is low (less than 30 feet), check that the detector is horizontal and at least 5 feet from the ground. The motion detector automatically switches to normal operation after 2 minutes in the test mode. To switch it back sooner, hold TEST down until the indicator flashes twice (about 3 seconds). To test the alarm with the motion detector, 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 45 seconds to save battery power. (LB/EB 5/8/96)
