5. Configurare

5.1. Instalarea bateriei

  1. Open the detector casing by unscrewing the retaining screws, usually located at the bottom or back.
  2. Insert the three (3) AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  3. Închideți casing în siguranță.

5.2. Locația de montare

Choose a mounting location that provides optimal coverage of the desired area, typically 2.1 to 2.7 meters (7 to 9 feet) above ground. Consider the following:

  • Zona de acoperire: The detector has an 11x11 meter (35x35 feet) range with a 90° double optical detection pattern.
  • Obstrucții: Avoid placing the detector where large objects (trees, bushes, vehicles) might obstruct its field of view.
  • Surse de caldura: Do not aim the detector directly at heat sources (e.g., air conditioning units, vents, reflective surfaces) that could cause false alarms.
  • Imunitatea animalelor de companie: For optimal pet immunity (up to 40 kg), mount the detector at the recommended height and ensure pets cannot climb into the detection zone.

5.3. Instalare

  1. Mark the desired mounting holes on the wall using the detector's base as a template.
  2. Dați găuri pilot și introduceți ancore de perete, dacă este necesar.
  3. Secure the detector's base to the wall using the provided screws.
  4. Attach the main body of the detector to the base and secure it.

5.4. Pairing with a Security System

The PMD85 is a wireless detector operating at 868 MHz. Refer to your Paradox security system's manual for specific instructions on how to enroll or pair new wireless devices. Generally, the process involves:

  • Putting your security panel into 'enrollment' or 'programming' mode.
  • Activating the PMD85 detector (e.g., by triggering it or pressing a tamper switch) to send its unique serial number to the panel.
  • Confirming the enrollment on the security panel.

6. Operarea detectorului

Once installed and paired, the PMD85 detector continuously monitors its detection zone for motion. When motion is detected, it transmits a signal to your Paradox security system.

  • Principiul de detectare: The detector uses dual infrared sensors to detect changes in heat signatures within its field of view.
  • Digital Signal Analysis: Advanced algorithms differentiate between human movement and environmental disturbances, reducing false alarms.
  • Imunitatea animalelor de companie: The PMD85 is designed to ignore animals weighing up to 40 kg (88 lbs) when installed correctly. This feature helps prevent false alarms caused by pets.
  • Indicator LED: A small LED on the detector typically illuminates when motion is detected or during testing, providing visual feedback.

7. Întreținere

7.1. Curatenie

Periodically clean the detector's lens and casing to ensure optimal performance. Dust, dirt, or spiderwebs can obstruct the sensor's view.

  • Gently wipe the outer casing și lentilă cu un d moaleamp pânză.
  • Nu utilizați substanțe chimice dure, solvenți sau materiale abrazive.

7.2. Înlocuirea bateriei

The PMD85 uses 3AA alkaline batteries. The security system will typically indicate a low battery condition for the detector. Replace all three batteries simultaneously when a low battery warning is issued.

  1. Disarm your security system before opening the detector.
  2. Open the detector casing as described in the installation section.
  3. Scoateți bateriile vechi și aruncați-le în mod corespunzător.
  4. Insert new 3AA alkaline batteries, observing correct polarity.
  5. Închideți casing în siguranță.
  6. Test the detector to ensure it communicates with the security system.

8. Depanare

If you experience issues with your Paradox PMD85 detector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemăCauza posibilaSoluţie
Alarme false
