ADEMCO 990 Installation guide

Brand: ADEMCO

Model: 990

Category: Motion detectors

Type: Installation guide

ADEMCO 990 is a passive infrared motion detector, designed for commercial and residential applications. It uses Fresnel lenses and offers efficient protection patterns, detecting sudden changes in temperature within the area of detection. The wide-angle lens provides 40ft x 6ft of coverage, while the long-range lens extends the range to 70ft x 8ft. The pet alley lens offers 40ft x 6ft of coverage while minimizing false alarms caused by pets. The unit has a built-in LED indicator that can be enabled or disabled, and an alarm relay with a maximum contact rating of 0.13A at 28V DC.

INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

These passive infrared motion detectors are versatile

wall-mounted units employing Fresnel lenses and-

offering efficient protection patterns for commercial and

residential applications. The detectors sense Sudden

and slight changes in temperature within the area Of

detection; thus, when an intruder crosses or enters any

zone. the resulting

change

in infrared energy

detected for.alarm reporting. Best coverage will be

obtained if mounting is selected such that the likely

direction of intruder motion is across the pattern.

The No. 990 is equipped with a wide-angle lens, the

No. 990LR with a long-range lens. and the No. 990PA

with a pet alley lens.

INSTALLATION

Mounting:

Mount the unit to a firm

venical

surface (flat on wall or

in corner). The wall wiring hole should be no more than

64 6’ (8rnm) diameter.

Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 1.

Remove the screw holding the PC board in the

detector base (the screw is located at the center

the

board) and temporarily remove the board

@andIs PC board carefully).

Refer to Figure 2. Knockout holes in the base are

availa& for normal surface mounting on a wall

(holes ‘A’). or for comer mounting (holes ‘8’).

Break out only those mounting holes required.

Feed wiring emerging from the wall through the wire

access slot at the bottom of the detector base.

Make sure wires have sufficient sbdr lo allow the

PC board lo slide up and down freely when the

wires are subsequently connected lo the terminals

on the board. Then mount the base.

Re-install lhe PC board (with renninal block dosest

to the wiring access slot in the base). Before fully

lightening the holding screw, make sure the board

is positioned tor the appropriate selling on the

graduated

scale (see ‘B. Vertical Pattern

Adjuslment’. and Fig. 3).

Refer to WlRiNG CONNECTIONS before replacing

the front cover.

B. Vertical Pattern Adjustment

The prelection pattern provided by the lens in Use Can

be raised or lowered by re-positioning the PC boatd n

the detector. A graduated scale to Ihe right of the

board (see Fig. 3) indicates the approximate number of

degrees by which the pattern can be raised (max. l 4 ‘1

or lowered (max. W). The detector is normally shipped

with the board set to the 0” positlon. To make this

adjustment. remove the cover on the detector and

loosen the screw holding the PC board (the screw is

located at the approximate center of the board). Slide

the board upward or downward by the

number of

degrees required, lhen tighten the holdi screw again.

After any adjustment. you must conduct a walk test 10

ensure proper coverage of the area to bs protected. as

indicated under Test Procedures-.

C. Lens Masklng:

The masking strips lhal have been supplied are

designed for application to one or more lens segments

to prod&Y? a protection pattern pattern that suits the

parlicular .requirements of the protected area.

lndiiual masking slrips have been provided

for

each

of the lens segments on the standard lens supplied

with the PIR. Simply peel off the appropriate pressure-

sensiliie adhesive strip(s) and apply over the desired

IenS segment(S). Be sure lo affix the masking strips lo

the inside of the lens (not the outer, smooth ade).

Each lens segment that is masked results in the

elimination of one zone of protection from the coverage

paltern. By masking segments of the lens. you can

adjust lhe coverage lo suit the area lo be prolected. or

eliminate coverage from areas where you anticipate

environmental disturbances that might reduce the

PIRL stabilii (a heater or

other

heat-producing objecl

for example).

WIRING CONNECTIONS

Bring all wires in through the wire access slot near the

terminal bk& and conned lo the screw terminals (see

Fig. 3 for wiring details). Beal all openings in the base

wilh loam or RTV (not supplied) lo prevent drafts or

insects from entering the unit. Apply power on/y after

aI/ amfx3cMns haue

been made and are &pee&d.

THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR PASSIVE

INFRARED MOTION DETECTOR

c----l

While the Passive Infrared Motion Detector is a hicj,. J

reliable intrusion detection device, it does not off&

guaranteed protection against burglary. Any intrusion

detection device is subject to compromise or failure to

warn for a vafiety of reasons:

Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect

intrusion within lhe designed ranges as diagrammed

in this instatlatiori manual.

Passive tnfrared Motion Detectors do not provide

volumetric area protection. They

create multiple

beams of protection, and intrusion can only be

detected in unobstructed areas covered by those

beams.

Passive Infrared Detectors can not detect motion or

intrusion that lakes place behind walls, ceilings,

floors. dosed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or

windows.

Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying

01 any material on the lenses, windows or any part of-

the optical system can reduce the detection ability of

the Passive Infrared Motion Detector.

Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in

temperature; however. as the ambient temperature

of the protected area approaches the temperature

range of 9o” to 105°F (320 to SO%), the detection

performana, can decrease.

This Passive Infrared Detector will not operate

without appropriate DC power connected to it, or if

_. --

lf~3 DC power is improperly connected (i.e., reversed

pow wnnactions).

Passive Infrared Detectors, like other electrical

l/1

devices, are subject to component failure. Eve!. I

though this ectuioment is designed to lest as tono a& ’

10 years, the ekdronic components in it could fail at

any time.

We have cited some of the most common reasons that

a Passive Infrared Motion Detector can fail to calch

intrusion. However, thii does not imply that these are

the only reasons, and therefore it is recommended that

weekly testing of this type of unit, in conjunction with

weekly testing of the entire alarm system, be

performed to ensure that the detectors are working

PlopeflY.

Installing an alarm system may make the owner

eligible tar a tower insurance rate, but an alarm system

is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners,

property owners and renters should continue to act

prudently in protecting themselves and continue to

insure their lives and propem.

We continue to develop new and improved protection

devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves

and their loved ones to learn about these

deveiopmenls.
