OVERVIEW:
The FA206C is a wireless, ceiling-mounted 4-element passive infrared intrusion detector providing protec-
tion from intruders by pyro-sensor array. Micro-controller PIR signal analysis with special ASIC technolo-
gy for PIR pulse processing increases immunity to RFI, vibration, static, lightning, ambient temperature
changes and other common causes of false alarms.

LOCATING THE DETECTOR:
Choose a location most likely to intercept an intruder. Refer to the following recommendations for the
best installation location:
best installation location:
•
Temperature changes: Do not install the detector outdoors or in a place exposed to sudden tem-
perature changes, or near equipment such as air conditioners, ventilators, fans, heaters, etc.

Bright light: Avoid bright light, direct or reflected sunlight, automobile headlights or other light
sources.

•
Moving Objects: Objects that may move or vibrate, such as curtains, window blinds or decorative banners can cause
false alarms.
false alarms.
•
Exposure to contaminants: Airborne vapors, mists, steam, or fumes can cause detector malfunction.
•
Curtains, Glass, Screens: Infrared energy cannot pass through opaque objects or through transparent or semi-trans-
parent materials such as glass, paper, or curtains. Barriers of these materials create "blind-spots" in intrusion protec-
tion.

Detection Zones: Refer to zone pattern diagrams to determine optimal mounting locations.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR:
1.
Remove cover from the detector body by loosening the lock screw about 5mm and turning the cover counterclock-
wise. (See Figure 3.)
wise. (See Figure 3.)
2.
Remove the body from the bracket by turning it counterclockwise.
3.
Mount the bracket to the ceiling. Hold the bracket on the ceiling. Mark and drill 4 holes for installation.
4.
Attach the detector body. Install the battery and place the detector body so that the arrow is aligned with the dot
on the bracket. Turn clockwise until the arrow on the body aligns with the arrow on the bracket. (See Figure 3.)

5.
Set Pulse Sensitivity jumper in desired position. (See Figure 1.)
6.
Program the transmitter as described below.
7.
Attach the cover. Place the four tabs of the cover into the matching notches in the base and turn the cover clock-
wise until it fits tightly.
wise until it fits tightly.
MOUNTING HEIGHT
The FA206C can be mounted to a maximum height of approximately 18 feet (5.5 meters). At 18', the PIR detection pattern
is about twice the diameter of a 10' (3m) installation. As mounting height increases, distance between detection zones also
increases toward the perimeter, and the effects of factors such as floor surface temperature and intruder direction and
speed are intensified. This can contribute to reducing speed of detection. (See Figures 4-6.) Every installation should
include a Walk Test of detection zones, including intrusion paths crossing the edges of the zones.

PIR SENSITIVITY
The Pulse Count jumper setting provides control for normal or difficult operating environments. Automatic Pulse Count is recommended for reliable operation in environments
which may be subject to temperature fluctuations that might cause false alarms. The Single Pulse Count mode is more sensitive to minor temperature variations, and should be
used in sites where variant heat sources will not cause alarms (See Figure 1.)

PROGRAMMING THE FA206C:
1.
Remove the FA206C cover. Remove shunt on Programming Header.
2.
Enter programming mode for the receiver unit, using recommended options.
3.
Connect the programming cable between the transmitter and the receiver.
4.
Press the transmitter reset button.
5.
When programming is complete, disconnect the programming cable and replace the shunt and the cover.
