Internal space protection, PIR Passive Infra Red detection is by far the most
cost effective and
common form of protection found today. To prevent false alarms there are a number
of rules to follow when installing detectors.
Installation hints
PIR detectors may be wall or corner mounted by applying different knockouts.

|
 |
 |
| Do not install where the detector is in or facing direct / reflected sunlight, windows onto main roads (car headlights) or strong draughts / heaters). |
Locate the detector at least one
metre away from any illumination, to
avoid possible interference. |
PIR detectors are more sensitive to motion passing across the detection zones than toward the unit |
 |
 |
 |
Ensure that there are not any
obstructions (plants, screens,
furniture etc.) in the field of view
which may cause incorrect cover /
operation of the detector.
|
Avoid locating the detector in areas
which contain equipment that may
change the environment
temperature rapidly. For example:
above radiators. |
Install the detector at the
recommended height on a
rigid, even surface. |
