5. Enstalasyon
5.1. Enstalasyon batri
- Open the detector casing by unscrewing the retaining screws, usually located at the bottom or back.
- Insert the three (3) AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Fèmen casing byen fèm.
5.2. Kote aliye
Choose a mounting location that provides optimal coverage of the desired area, typically 2.1 to 2.7 meters (7 to 9 feet) above ground. Consider the following:
- Zòn Kouvèti: The detector has an 11x11 meter (35x35 feet) range with a 90° double optical detection pattern.
- Obstak: Avoid placing the detector where large objects (trees, bushes, vehicles) might obstruct its field of view.
- Sous Chalè: Do not aim the detector directly at heat sources (e.g., air conditioning units, vents, reflective surfaces) that could cause false alarms.
- Iminite bèt kay: For optimal pet immunity (up to 40 kg), mount the detector at the recommended height and ensure pets cannot climb into the detection zone.
5.3. Enstalasyon
- Mark the desired mounting holes on the wall using the detector's base as a template.
- Fè twou gid epi mete lank miray si sa nesesè.
- Secure the detector's base to the wall using the provided screws.
- Attach the main body of the detector to the base and secure it.
5.4. Pairing with a Security System
The PMD85 is a wireless detector operating at 868 MHz. Refer to your Paradox security system's manual for specific instructions on how to enroll or pair new wireless devices. Generally, the process involves:
- Putting your security panel into 'enrollment' or 'programming' mode.
- Activating the PMD85 detector (e.g., by triggering it or pressing a tamper switch) to send its unique serial number to the panel.
- Confirming the enrollment on the security panel.
6. Opere Detektè a
Once installed and paired, the PMD85 detector continuously monitors its detection zone for motion. When motion is detected, it transmits a signal to your Paradox security system.
- Prensip deteksyon: The detector uses dual infrared sensors to detect changes in heat signatures within its field of view.
- Digital Signal Analysis: Advanced algorithms differentiate between human movement and environmental disturbances, reducing false alarms.
- Iminite bèt kay: The PMD85 is designed to ignore animals weighing up to 40 kg (88 lbs) when installed correctly. This feature helps prevent false alarms caused by pets.
- Endikatè ki ap dirije: A small LED on the detector typically illuminates when motion is detected or during testing, providing visual feedback.
7. Antretyen
7.1. Netwayaj
Periodically clean the detector's lens and casing to ensure optimal performance. Dust, dirt, or spiderwebs can obstruct the sensor's view.
- Gently wipe the outer casing and lens with a soft, damp twal.
- Pa sèvi ak pwodui chimik ki agresif, solvang, oswa materyèl abrazif.
7.2. Ranplasman batri
The PMD85 uses 3AA alkaline batteries. The security system will typically indicate a low battery condition for the detector. Replace all three batteries simultaneously when a low battery warning is issued.
- Disarm your security system before opening the detector.
- Open the detector casing as described in the installation section.
- Retire ansyen pil yo epi jete yo byen.
- Insert new 3AA alkaline batteries, observing correct polarity.
- Fèmen casing byen fèm.
- Test the detector to ensure it communicates with the security system.
