INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EQUINOX AM+

1. PREPARATION

It is very important that this anti-masking detector is mounted out of normal reach.

A normal mounting height of at least 2.4 metres (7ft 6") is recommended.

Because of the anti-masking features of this product it is important that before

choosing a suitable site for mounting that Section 6 Anti-masking and Fault

Monitoring is read very carefully and the operation of these features is understood.

Locate a suitable site for the Equinox AM+ that gives the required coverage.

Refer to "Coverage pattern".

Remember:

(A) Passive infrared receivers (PIRs) respond to the movement of objects which

are at different temperatures to their environment. They are heat sensitive and are

more sensitive to movement across them rather than towards them.

(b) Poorly adjusted microwave detectors can see through windows and partitions.

coverage.

(d) The detector should be mounted on a stable surface which is not subject to

vibration.

(e) An alarm condition will occur when both PIR and microwave detectors are

triggered within 4 seconds of each other.

(f) Microwave detectors transmit radio waves. Cross talk may result if two dual

technology detectors with the same frequency and colour code are mounted within

5 metres of each other.

Avoid:

(a) Pointing the detector at heat sources, windows, fans, fluorescent lights

and water pipes.

(b) Animals in the coverage area.

(d) Cable runs next to mains cabling.

(e) Having two detectors with the same frequency and colour code facing

each other.

(f) Avoid having close range facing detectors.

An over ranged facing detector, could trigger another detectors anti mask

perimeter protection area.

2. MOUNTING

(a) Remove front cover.

(b) Take out the two screws shown in diagram 1 and remove the PCB.

the wall with the screws and plugs provided.

(d) Replace the PCB and secure it with the two screws.

(e) Make sure that all the four selector switches are in the position shown in

diagram 3.

(f) Wire in accordance with the following instructions:

Normal Connection

(+,-) :Connect to the auxiliary dc output supply on the control panel.

(T, T) :Connect to a tamper zone on the control panel.

Note :Tamper switches should be wired in series if only one tamper

zone is available.

(N, C) :Connect to an alarm zone on the control panel.

Latch Memory (C+) connection - (optional):

Connect C+ to switched positive at the control panel.

The LEDs are disabled when the panel is set. Following an alarm condition and

after resetting the control panel the red LED will flash at half second intervals. To

reset the latch memory set the panel again for 5 seconds without triggering the

detector, then reset the panel.

Latch Memory (C+) and First to Alarm (FTA) - (optional):

Connect C+ as above and also connect all FTA terminals together from detectors

which are in the same control panel zone. These terminals should be connected

either in 'daisy' chain from one detector to the next or to a spare terminal at the

control panel.

Operation of FTA is as for latch memory but if more than one detector is triggered

whilst the control panel is set then only the first detector to be triggered will show a

flashing red LED when the panel is reset. Any other detectors which were

triggered will show the red LED fully on. To reset the latch and first to alarm

memory set the control panel again for 5 seconds without triggering the detectors,

then reset the panel.

Remote LED Enable Connection (E-) - (optional):

Connect the E- terminal to a switched negative at the control panel and set switch

number 1 to right.

The LEDs will only function when the E- terminal is connected to 0 volts.

NOTE: Latch, FTA and trouble warning indication will override this feature.

(g) Replace the cover on the detector.

3. RANGE ADJUSTMENT

(a) The position of the PCB inside the detector will determine the range of the PIR.

To alter the position of the PCB slacken the two PCB retaining screws. The PCB

will now be free to slide up and down underneath the microwave module.

Maximum PIR range (coverage pattern "A") is achieved with the PCB in it's lowest

position and minimum range (coverage pattern "B") requires the PCB to be moved

upwards inside the case as far as it will go. Refer to the coverage patterns in

diagram 2.

(b) Microwave range adjustment is provided by a potentiometer on the PCB. Refer

to diagram 1. Maximum range (15m in free space) is achieved with the pot turned

fully clockwise. Minimum range (5m in free space) requires the pot to be turned

fully counter clockwise.

Please note that the microwave range will depend upon the environment in which

it is placed, since reflections of the microwaves will occur where solid objects are

present. A correct range adjustment will fill an entire room. In countries where it is

permitted to operate Equinox detectors on more than one microwave frequency

you may find that colour coded detectors are available. This coding will normally

appear as a coloured dot on the microwave detector and also a coloured label on

the product carton. Equinox detectors with different coloured markings will not

interfere with each other.

4. DETECTOR MODE SELECTION

Dual Edge Triggering

The PIR signal processing in the Equinox AM+ is based on floating alarm

thresholds which are self adjusting in the presence of noise. In dual edge

triggering a PIR alarm condition occurs when an intruder crosses a positive or a

Sequential Pattern Processing A PIR alarm condition occurs when an intruder

crosses two opposing polarity zones. To set SPP mode move switch 4 to the right.

Example: Positive and negative zones crossed - PIR alarm

Negative and positive zones crossed - PIR alarm

Two positive zones crossed - No PIR Alarm

Two negative zones crossed - No PIR Alarm

Alarm Relay Polarity Selection

The output of the Equinox AM + is in the form of normally closed relay contacts

which open for a minimum of one second when both PIR and microwave detectors

are triggered. This relay output can be converted to normally open i.e. the contacts

will close for at least one second when both PIR and microwave detectors have

been activated. To convert to normally open contacts move switch 2 to the right.

5. FINAL STEPS

(a) Apply power and wait 2 to 3 minutes for the detector to stabilise.

(b) Replace cover and walk test the detector to verify the sensitivity and check that

alarms are indicated at the control panel.

PIR detection :Green

Microwave detection :Orange

Alarm :Red

It is recommended that the LEDs are disabled after installation to reduce power

consumption and to prevent potential intruders from walk testing the alarm

system. To do this move switch 1 to the right.

6. ANTI-MASKING

Anti-masking

The Equinox AM+ incorporates a unique anti-masking feature which will prevent

the alarm panel from being set if an attempt to block the PIR or Microwave

coverage pattern is detected. When something moves in close proximity to the

detector an anti-mask processing sequence will be activated. This is indicated by

the Red LED which will flash at half second intervals. Processing will normally take

60 seconds to complete and during this time the detector fault relay output will

remain closed. If the detector verifies that an attempt to block its coverage has

been made then the appropriate relay(s) will open (according to the alarm relay

mode switch). The relay(s) will remain open until the block has been removed. In

addition the Green and Orange LEDs will turn on regardless of whether LED

disable has been selected. To reset the detector, remove the blocking material and

allow 1 minute for the detector to stabilize. When the LED is no longer flashing

the detector should be walk tested to activate both technologies.

Under certain conditions it is possible for the anti-masking system not to recognize

masking of one technology only.

Mask Adjustment

Mask sensitivity adjustment is provided by a potentiometer on the PCB. Refer to

diagram 1. Maximum sensitivity is achieved with the pot turned fully clockwise. To

disable the anti-masking feature the pot should be turned fully counter clockwise.

Alarm Relay Mode

Set switch 3 to on to activate the fault and alarm relays upon a verified blocking

attempt.

Set switch 3 to off to only activate the fault relay upon a verified blocking attempt.
