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
do
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).
l
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.
