RCA902A Introduction Your Motion Detector can operate with Decor and Premium portable chimes with E compatibility to provide an audible warning when movement is detected. Alternatively it can contol lighting in conjuction with a wireless switching receiver; may not be available in all markets. A built in Dusk/Dawn sensor can be adjusted to prevent movement from activating light during daylight or alternatively if working with a Chime it will prevent movement activating the Chime during the

Installation Instructions No Wires! There is no physical wiring connection between the Motion Detector and Receiver or Chime. Instead, the system uses radio technology to provide the link which makes installation even quicker and allows the Motion Detector to be located remotely at the most appropriate position for the area being monitored. To prevent interference from other devices the Motion Detector is coded with a unique identifica- tion code that can be easily learned by the receiver or

Installation Instructions Device Range The quoted range of the system is measur ed in ideal conditions. Any barrier (e.g. walls/ceilings aluminium r einfor ced UPVC windows and metallic parts of house struc- tur es etc) between the detector and r eceiver will r educe the ef fective radio range by an amount dependant upon the construction of and number of barriers between the detector and receiver. In extreme cases where metal barriers are involved then it

RCA902A Installing the Motion Detector Positioning the Motion Detector • Place the detector within range of the Receiver , taking into consideration any r eduction in the maximum range (range depends on types of r eceivers used) caused by any objects in between. Avoid mounting the unit on or near large metal objects. • The r ecommended mounting height for the detector is 8 ft. At this height, the motion detector will have a range of approximately 40 ft.

Installation Instructions • A void positioning the detector wher e ther e ar e any heat sour ces in the detection ar ea (e.g. heating or tumble drier exhaust vents etc.). Also avoid highly r eflective surfaces or hanging branches in the detection area as these can cause false activation in some weather conditions. 0° 8 FEET 140° 20 FEET 40 FEET Fig. 1 M27293 ? ?

RCA902A Installing the Motion Detector NOTE: Befor e fixing the motion detector unit to the mounting surface, it is advisable to check that the system works corr ectly (i.e. that the detector and r eceiver ar e within radio range of each other) by temporarily operating the motion detector in the chosen location. MOTION DETECTOR • Open the detector by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver into the slot at the base of the unit and pushing gently

Installation Instructions NOTE: The detector can be configured to work with either a Chime or a Switching Receiver in Day or Night mode. It cannot work with both. • Mark the position of the fixing holes and drill two 6 mm holes, then insert the wall plugs (supplied). If fixing to non-solid or wood surface the wall plugs will not be needed and only a small pilot hole will be required. • Clip a 9V PP3 (6LR61) Alkaline battery to the connecto

RCA902A Motion Detector Walk Test IMPORTANT: Befor e commencing walk test ensur e the LED indicator behind the detector lens is not flashing continuously. If it is wait until the detector has completed its warm-up cycle and the flashing stops. Configur e the detector for walk testing accor ding to the selected Day or Night operat- ing mode as follows: 1) Set the TIME contr ol fully counter -clockwise to its minimum setting. 2) If the detector is set to

Installation Instructions Slowly walk across the detection area approximately 15 ft. from the unit. As you cross a detection zone and your movement is detected a small red indicator behind the lens will illuminate for a few seconds. Stand still until the indicator goes out after a few seconds. Continue moving around at various distances and angles to the unit, stopping each time the indicator illuminates, until you have established the detec- tion area. If the detector has already been linke

RCA902A Linking the Detector to a Chime or Switching Receiver The detector has a unique identification code that prevents inadvertent and unwanted interference from other products operating in the area. In order for movement detect- ed by the detector to trigger the lights or Chime this code needs to be learned by either the Switching Receiver or Chime Unit. Learn Mode Motion Detector To enable your chime to learn the identity of your detector: • Pr ess the l programming button and keep it

Installation Instructions Unlearn Procedure If you want to remove a detector from the chime’s memory: • Pr ess the l programming button and keep it pressed. Each Icon will light in turn. When the Icon associated with the detector to be unlearned is lit, release the button. • Pr ess and hold down both l and buttons until a ‘beep’ sound is heard. Please refer to your instruction manual supplied with the Switching Receiver or Chime for the procedure to do this. At the appropriate point

RCA902A Masking the Motion Detector Window To prevent movement detection in unwanted areas or to shield off shrubs etc. which can cause false activation in the wind, the detection area may be reduced by masking off sections of the lens using either the window mask curtain provided or electrical insulation tape. To discover how much screening is needed, first obscure the detec- tor’s lens with insulation tape, progressively covering more of the lens until the required detection area is achiev

RCA902A Motion Detector Low Battery Indication The 9V battery should operate the detector for appr oximately 12 months depend- ing on the number of activations each day and the effect of low temperatures. When the battery is nearing the end of its life (about 30 days befor e failur e), the low battery status will be indicated by the red LED behind the detector lens flashing 5 times after movement is detected. You should change the battery in the detector as soon as
