INITIAL TESTING
With power applied, check that the voltage at the terminal is the correct polarity and is between 11 and 16 volts D.C.
(12 and 16 volts for ‘H’ versions). If an oscilloscope is available, check that the ac ripple does not exceed 0.3V
(300mV) p/p.
During “Warm-up” the alarm relay may switch several times or oscillate for a few seconds.
Allow at least ONE MINUTE before testing.
Set selector switch upwards (A or B).
With NO movement in the area, the walk-test LED's should be out and the alarm relay energised. Movement in front of
the unit should cause the LED's to light and the relay to de-energise. When movements stop, the unit should reset
within 10 seconds.
If audio walk-tester LRP1020 is to be used, insert jack plug into socket on circuit board and set to Redwall position.
With NO movement, the audio tone should be steady. Movement should cause the pitch to vary. There should be a
sudden upward change in pitch when the unit is in alarm condition. When the unit resets the tone should return to the
lower pitch. If the tone does not change, check that the jack plug is fully inserted.
ALIGNMENT
The top surface of the detector head should be used as an initial guide to alignment. The tops of the main upper zones
are parallel with the top surface. If the ground is level the head top surface should be level.
Accurate alignment is essential. Moving the head only one degree will move the end of the detection zone almost one
metre. IF THE UNIT DOES NOT RESPOND TO MOVEMENT AT FULL RANGE, IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS BECAUSE
THE ZONES ARE EITHER AIMING ABOVE THE TARGET OR HITTING THE GROUND TOO SOON.
USING THE AUDIO WALK-TESTER LRP 1020
The LRP 1020 converts the voltage fluctuations at the detector into a changing audio tone. The tone pitch rises and
falls as a zone is crossed. When the unit trips into alarm, the tone pitch suddenly rises in frequency and continues to
fluctuate as the zones are crossed. With a little practice, it soon becomes clear where the zone boundaries and alarm
points are. The LRP 3020,4010 and 404 are effectively two detectors in one housing, alignment and walk-testing are
best carried out with one person walking across the zones whilst another observes the detection LED's and listens to
the LRP 1020 audio walk-tester.
With a two-channel system, it is not practical to feed both movement signals to the audio walk-tester.
The walk-tester jack socket is connected to one channel only, so the audio fluctuations and alarm trip points may
appear to be off-set from the centre line (depending on direction of walk).
When walktesting is completed, double-check the tightness of the terminals and head clamping screw. Check the
tightness of the main fixing screws, (it is essential that the unit is firmly mounted and unlikely to move or vibrate in
windy conditions). Check cable gland is tightly fitted and that the rubber grommet grips the cable firmly. Re-set switch
to ‘A’ and ‘B’ (downwards) position.
Remember, both channels must be activated within a ten-second period to produce an alarm condition when the switch
is in the downward position.
In some countries where excessive climatic variations are expected, installers should provide additional protection to
the unit by means of the sun or snow shield accessories.
SEALING
Although the component boards are protective coated, it is recommended that the terminal and wiring are lightly coated
with a silicone water-resistant spray. Re-fitting the cover base cover should operate the tamper switch.
DO NOT SPRAY SEALANT ON TO DETECTOR HEAD FRONT WINDOW OR USE SILICONE SEALANT
TO SEAL THE CONNECTION ENCLOSURE.
