Hi all, our new home has an old Accent a G3 alarm panel and old sensors, etc. This will be upgraded at some point but is fine for now apart from one PIR.
Background: The existing PIRs used are Racial Guard all Apollo D Mk2s. Three of them are wired in series but we've found that one of them keeps setting off the alarm when we re-enter due to it being too sensitive to the air movement. (It occasionally sets the alarm off while we're out too if a window is left on vent).
I know it's overkill but I've purchased a new Pyronix KX15DTAM. I'd like to use all its featured if possible but both of their PDF manuals I found online are absolutely hopeless. (In one of them it mentions a header called "MASK/ALARM EOL LINK" which I assume was meant to say "MASK/FAULT EOL".)
No doubt you'll know that there are 6 wires in the old PIR: 12v +/-, tamper NC pair and alarm NC pair.
To wire the new PIR would this be correct:
• 6 wires to the corresponding connectors
• Enable the Mask/Fault EOL header
• Dip switch 1: ON
• Dip switch 2: ON
• Dip switch 3: OFF
• Dip switch 4: ON
• Dip switch 5: ON
• Dip switch 6: ON
• Adjustment mask and microwave dials
Job done?
