GENERAL INFORMATION: The Nos. 850, area interior alarms due to vibrations and effect on the 851 and 852 Series of Microwave Motion Detectors provide camp lete wide intrusion detection coverage, yet afford maximum rejection of false transient electrical signals, building radio frequency interference, small random motions. Temperature, air turbulence and noise have no units. The microwave energy emitted by these units sets up a precisely defined pattern ;of transmitted and ref lected waves in the protected area. When an object or a person within the protected area moves through i-h is pattern, the motion causes a change in the frequency of the reflected waves (known as the Doppler Effect). The reflected waves are continuously monitored by the unit, and its electronic circuitry detects the shift in frequency and processes the “return s igna I”. ‘The Nos. 850, 851 and 852 must be powered from their own plug-in transformers (included) and each contains a rechargeable standby power supply that can provide up to I2 hours of operation in the event of a power interruption:‘The Nos. 850112, 851-12 and 852-12 require power from a l2V. DC source that can provide at least 4 hrs. of standby power. Except as noted herein, these instructions apply equally to all models. The Nos. 850 and 850-12 can provide pro t ection in areas as I arge as 50’ long and 50’ wide. The Nos. 851. and 851-12 can cover areas up to 100’ long and 30’ wide. The Nos. 852 and 852-12 can cover areas up to 50 1 long and 20’ wide. Al I units have continuously variable range adjustment from near “0” to maximum range. See Di agrdm I .

Because of the special nature of microwaves, and the high frequency separation from other types of radio transmissions, a microwave motion’detector can operate effectively with a very Iow.IeveI emitted signal, and is not subject to interference from other types of radio transmissions.

SPECIAL PROPERTIES OF MICROWAVE: Since microwave does not use air as its transmission medium, it cannot be,affected. by air currents. In many installations where air currents may cause false alarms for ultrasonic systems, the 850/851/852 will respond only to the presence of an intruder. Microwaves are also immune to changes in temperature and humidity.

Even though the units contain circuitry to minimize such effects, there are conditions, as described below, which may appear as an intruder to the detector and result in unwanted alarms. When determining a location for the unit, try to find a spot approximately 8-10 feet from the floor which avoids: from Vi brations - such as those resulting and walls that shake when traffic passes. sturdy inside wall whenever possible. loose fitting doors Locate the unit on a Movi nq Objects - such as house pets or other animals on the premises, as well as hanging signs, light fixtures, or other objects that tend to sway, or open doors that can be moved by air currents. Point the detector away from these hazards. reflectors for microwaves. Fl uorescent Lights - as they are variable the energy’reflected back to the detector is strong enough, a false could result. Avoid aiming the unit directly at fluorescent lights. Try to mount the unit at least 20 feet away from fluorescent lights. If alarm - as they contain fans, and also often shake and Overhead Space Heaters vibrate their metal shells as they cycle on and off. If they are within the pattern of the unit, this motion could be detected and result in an alarm. 373 366 paneling or sheetrock walls, Penetration into Undesired Areas - through wood floors, or windows. Avoid having the unit “looking through” into areas which are not to be part of the secure area, but are within the range of the unit. Motion anvwhere within “sicht” of the unit will result in an alarm. It is never a good practice to count on penetrating an interior wall in an attempt to provide security in an adjoining room. It is very important to understand that although wal Is, drapes, partitions, etc. may appear to shie I d the “view” from the detector into certain areas, the microwave energy may penetrate these objects and the detector may be sensitive to motion behind them. These materials cannot be depended upon to limit the covered area. The range at the detector must be adjusted as low as possible so that it just covers the intended area and is not sensitive enough to motion beyondT This means that in many cases the range control will not be set fully clockwise. Shadows - Large objects in the protected area, particularly metal I ic objects such as filing cabinets or machinery, will reflect or block the microwave energy. This can reduce or eliminate the protection in an area directly behind these objects. In this situation, the coverage will be similar to the pattern of a spotlight shining from the location where the detector is mounted: the objects wi I I “cast simi lar shadows”. PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MICROKAVE INSTALLATIONS IS THE SITE SELECTION. Spending an extra few minutes surveyinq the area to be protected can maximize the effectiveness of microwave protection and minimize the possibility of future false alarms. In general, both penetration of and reflection from non-metallic surfaces result in Careful site selection can take these a reduction of the amount of microwave energy. properties into account in order to achieve reliable coverage without giving “protection” in unwanted areas.

Therefore, for poss i ble unforeseen movement. See Diagram 2a. Diagram 2a: PENETRATION OF CEILING AND-FLOOR Locate the Detector so that penetrable materials are outside its detection range. Microwaves penetrate through glass, thin dry wood, fabric and,synthetic materials, plastic and fiber (soundproofing). The microwave transceiver can detect moving objects even when screened by these penetrable materials. Accordingly, if any penetrable materials are present at the site of an installation, be sure to consider what may move beyond them and be detected by the microwave.

See Diagrams 4a and 4b. Take care in aiminq the unit at larqe expanses of reflective, metal I ic surfaces such as mirrors and metal sheetins. Microwave reflection will extend the range into areas which may trigger false alarms due to unforeseen movement. Also avoid having large reflective objects close to the unit, since microwaves may be reflected back beyond the detector into an area behind the unit.

In such a situation, use a fine wire mesh with openings smaller than l/IO” square, so that it covers an area in front of the math i nery that is larger than the moving part. It is important to secure the wire mesh to a firm unmoveable frame. If the wire mesh is put in front of a fan without firmly securing it, the wire mesh will vibrate, setting off a false alarm. See Diagram 5a. The wire mesh will serve to dissipate the microwaves as they come in contact with it while reflecting some back. Movement beyond the mesh will not-be detected if the mesh opening is small-er than IjlO” and.it is located at least ten (IO) feet frcm the transceiver.
