Mounting considerations
Surface mount the detector at a height between 1.8m and 2.2m.
Mount the detector where an intruder will most likely cross through the coverage pattern; the detection range is 8m at 5 degrees.
Do not mount the detector outdoors or where direct sunlight can reach it.
Do not mount the detector in areas with large metallic surfaces such as heating ducts or electrical wiring.
Do not mount the detector where there are extreme levels of heat and light from heaters and air conditioners, hot and cold drafts,
lightning, and moving headlights.
How to install the DPC
1. Insert a flat-head screwdriver to the notches at the bottom of the detector and open the enclosure.
2. Break the knock outs (no. 7 in the figure above) on the backplate and fix it onto a flat surface.
3. Place the battery. Observe polarity!
4. Set the LED jumper; see below.
5. Reassemble the detector.
6. Enroll the detector (see the alarm system's installation guide for details) and test it.
7. Fasten the supplied screw at the bottom of the detector.

How to test the detector
To test the detector, tamper it by opening its cover. The detector transmits a tamper event and enters into test mode for 5 minutes.
During this time the LED will flash once on every detection (ignoring the LED jumper state). After 5 minutes the detector is rearmed.
Sleep time
The detector's sleep time is 3 minutes - after transmitting a detection event, the detector will not transmit any detection event for that
time (unless it is in test mode).
Battery
The detector is powered by a 3V, CR123A Lithium battery. The battery's life expectancy is 3 years, with an average of 20 detections per
day. Before installing a new battery, press the enrollment button 3 times to discharge excess power. After replacing the battery the
detector warms up for one minute and enters test mode for five more minutes. When this time expires the detector is armed.
Low battery condition is detected when the battery voltage drops below 2.6V. After that the battery can last for up to one month.
