Outdoor Octa-Quad™ Mirror Detector with Anti-Mask Installation Instructions
Introduction
Detector's Features
• Patented 8 independent quad PIR detectors (Octa-QUAD™) operating in true Quad
configuration with true motion recognition (TMR) processing for each of the 8 PIR
detectors and central motion processing - can distinguish between a moving intruder
and moving trees and bushes.
• Advance Obsidian Black Mirror™ optics (patent pending).
• High protection against snow, rain, dust, wind and direct sunlight.
• Tamper protection against opening and removal from wall.
• Alarm LED is visible in sunlight.
• Low voltage detection
• Self test
• Robust housing with recessed window.
• Smart anti masking can distinguish between masking spray and rain.
• Immunity to false alarms from small pets.
• Built-in swivel bracket.

Installation
DIP Switches Setup
Remove the detector's bottom covers (see Figure 3, steps 4-8) to gain access to the DIP
switches. Set the DIP switches according to Table 1:

Function
Description

LEDs ON/OFF
ON: Motion and masking alarm
LEDs is enabled (ON).
OFF: Motion and masking alarm
LEDs is disabled (OFF). Can be
enabled by TST input (Active "low")
2
PIR Sensitivity
ON: High PIR sensitivity.
OFF: Normal PIR sensitivity.
3
AM ON/OFF
ON: AM on
OFF: AM off *

Masking event opens
ON: masking event reported to panel
Alarm relay (EN standard)
as TROUBLE and ALARM (EN
standard). Trouble and Alarm relay
opens at the same time.**
OFF: masking event reported to
panel as TROUBLE (Trouble relay
opens).
*Switching from OFF to ON resets the detector for a stabilization period of 60 sec. and
causes the detector to re-adapt to its current surroundings. Remain at a distance of at least
0.5 m (1.5 ft.) from the detector to prevent disruption of this process.
**Use ON for EN approved control panels / installations. However, many installers prefer
not to have the ALARM relay opened on a masking event.
Installation
Bracket installation (see figure 3) – firmly fix the bracket on a stable wall or pillar. The
orientation of the fixed bracket should be as parallel as possible to the surveyed ground
surface.
Wiring
Perform wiring (see figure 3, step 8 - 10)
Adjustments
Adjust detector's horizontal and vertical angles (see Fig. 4, steps 1 - 6), according to the
surveyed ground surface and close the detector, as shown in Fig. 3, steps 7 - 12.
The vertical angle indicator position for various installation height and coverage distance
combinations is detailed in Table 2 (the information refers to a relatively flat surveyed
area. however, in any case the correct installation should be verified by walk-test).

Note: The grayed-in cells in Table 2 are the installation alternatives recommended for
further reducing false alarms from pets.
Note: To decrease false alarms, which can be triggered by pets, it is recommended to
install the detector at a height of 2 to 2.5 meters from the ground surface. In addition, ver-
tical adjustment must be fixed on #4 or #5 position. It is recommended to aim the detector
at a background such as walls, houses, fences but not at open space.
Test
A. The detector enters Walk-Test mode after one of the following occurs:
• The 60-second stabilization period ends.
• DIP-SW1 position changes from OFF to ON.
• TST input state changes from OFF to ON.
Note: Regardless of the DIP-SW1 and TST input settings, the Alarm and AM LED indi-
cations are enabled in Walk-Test mode. Crossing a single beam causes the red LED to
double-blink.
B. Walk into the detector's field of view at the expected far edge of the coverage area. Ver-
ify that each time your motion is detected the red LED lights for 2 seconds and the control
panel receives the alarm. If required, perform detector's horizontal / vertical readjust-
ments.
Important! Instruct the user to perform walk test at least once a week, to verify proper
operation of the detector.
C. Place a piece of cardboard on the detector's front side, to deliberately mask the optical
window. After 2 minutes, the yellow LED should light (see Table 3) and the alarm control
panel should receive the masking alarm.
D. Remove the masking from the detector's front side. The LED should extinguish (after
Default
about 30 seconds).
