Mini PIR Alarm (490-0425) Installation Faxback Doc. # 6600 You can place the alarm on a desk or table, or you can mount it on the wall. You can use a strip of double-sided tape (included) to attach the alarm to the mounting surface, or to temporarily hold the alarm in place while you mount the alarm with the screws. CHOOSING A LOCATION Before you install the alarm, choose a location, where the entry point (door or window) is within the alarm's detection angle. The alarm detects motion best when the object moves across the detection angle, rather than directly toward or away from the alarm. Notes: Do not install the alarm in an area where sun shines directly on it or where it might get wet. Do not install the alarm near a heat source such as a radiator, stove top, or light. Avoid locations where extreme temperature changes might occur. Avoid places with high humidity (such as a bathroom). PLACING THE ALARM ON A DESK OR TABLE Follow these steps to use the alarm on a desktop or table. 1. Gently press out the mounting bracket's sides. Insert the alarm into the bracket with the sensing lens facing out. 2. Place the alarm's tabs in the bracket's round holes. Rotate it to set alarm's angle, then place it on the desk or table. Note: If you want the alarm to face straight out, align the alarm's tabs with the bracket's notches. MOUNTING THE ALARM ON A WALL Follow these steps to mount the alarm on a wall. 1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the two screw holes on the wall. 2. Drill two 3/8-inch holes for the supplied anchors and hammer them into the wall. 3. Use the two supplied screws to attach the mounting bracket to the anchors. 4. Insert the alarm into the bracket with the sensing lens facing out. 5. Place the alarm's tabs in the bracket's round holes and rotate to set the alarm's angle. Note: If you want the alarm to face straight out, align the alarm's tabs with the bracket's notches.
