ITI® Sentrol™ PIR Motion Sensor

Programming

  

This sensor must be incline-mounted on a wall surface or 
incline mounted in a corner at a mounting height of 7.5 feet. 

1.

Remove the mounting plate by depressing the button 
on the top of the sensor body. With the opposite hand 
pull the mounting plate away from the body of the sen-
sor.

2.

Punch out two of the bottom four mounting holes. Use 
the lower-side holes for corner mounting, or the lower-
middle holes for surface mounting.

3.

If you desire wall-tamper functionality, remove the 
wall-tamper knockout.

The wall-tamper switch cannot be used when the sen-
sor is corner mounted.

4.

Mark the location of the required holes on the mount-
ing surface.

5.

Use wall anchors and screws to secure into place. 
Attach the sensor to the mounting plate.

6.

When testing is completed the PIR can be securely 
attached to its mounting plate by screwing the smallest 
enclosed screw into the hole at the top of the mounting 
plate.

For pet applications, the PIR must be set to standard sensi-
tivity.

Walk testing should be done to determine the sensor’s 
actual coverage area.  The edge of the coverage pattern is 
determined by the first flash of the LED.  This may change 
slightly depending upon the sensitivity setting.  Walk test 
the unit from both directions to determine the pattern 
boundaries.

1.

Remove the sensor body from the mounted mounting 
plate, activate the tamper switch, and then remount the 
body to activate the 60 second walk test mode.

2.

Walk across the coverage pattern to determine the cov-
erage area, indicated by LED activation.  Each activa-
tion extends the walk test mode for an additional 60 
seconds.

After 60 seconds without motion the walk test mode and the 
LED will no longer activate when motion is detected.

Excessive use of the walk test mode may reduce 
battery life.  Use only for initial setup and maintenance 
testing.

When the walk test mode has ended, an alarm can be 
transmitted only after 3 minutes have passed since 
the previous alarm.  This 3 minute lockout time 
reduces unnecessary RF transmissions in high traffic 
areas thereby extending battery life.

Turn on all heating or air conditioning sources which would 
normally be active during the protection period.  Stand 
away from the sensor and outside the coverage pattern and 
watch for alarms.

Refer to the panel installation manual for information on 
programming the sensor into the panel.  

1.

Remove the back cover to activate the tamper switch.
