3. Configuración e instalación
The NV5 detector is designed for simple and efficient installation. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:
3.1 Localización de montaxe
Choose a mounting location that provides the best coverage of the protected area. The NV5 is designed for wall mount installation. Avoid placing the detector directly facing heat sources, windows, or areas with strong air currents that could cause false alarms.
3.2 Montaxe do detector
- Separate the front cover from the base of the detector.
- Mount the base securely to the wall using appropriate screws. An optional wall/ceiling mount bracket is available for flexible positioning.
- No PC board removal is necessary for installation; the PC board can be easily clipped in and out if desired for maintenance.
3.3 Cableado
The NV5 is a hardwired device and requires a corded electric power source. Connect the detector to your alarm system panel according to the panel's wiring diagram. The NV5 is compatible with EVO, Spectra, Magellan, and various 3rd party alarm systems. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized.
3.4 Power-Up and Walk Test
After wiring, apply power to the detector. Allow a few minutes for the detector to stabilize. Perform a walk test to verify the detection coverage and ensure the detector triggers the alarm system when motion is detected within the protected area. Adjust the detector's position if necessary to optimize coverage.
4. Funcionamento do detector
The NV5 detector operates automatically once installed and powered. Its advanced features ensure reliable motion detection.
4.1 Sensitivity Levels
The NV5 offers 5 levels of sensitivity. You can adjust the sensitivity to match the specific requirements of the protected area and minimize false alarms. Refer to the detector's internal settings or your alarm panel's manual for instructions on adjusting sensitivity.
4.2 Pet Immunity
The NV5 is designed with pet immunity to prevent false alarms from small animals. For optimal pet immunity, ensure the detector is mounted at the recommended height and the pet's movement does not exceed the specified immunity threshold. Consult the installation guide for specific pet immunity guidelines.
4.3 Creep Zone
The detector includes an adjustable creep zone, which covers the area directly beneath the detector. For enhanced creep zone sensitivity, especially in situations where an intruder might attempt to bypass the main detection pattern by staying low, a mirror add-on is available and recommended.
5. Mantemento
Regular maintenance ensures the long-term reliability and performance of your NV5 motion detector.
- Limpeza: Periodically clean the detector's lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or smudges that could obstruct its view. Non use produtos de limpeza ou disolventes abrasivos.
- Proba de funcionalidade: Conduct a walk test at least once a year to confirm the detector is functioning correctly and its coverage area remains effective.
- Comprobación do cableado: Inspect wiring connections periodically to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
