AMB-300
Addressable PIR Detector
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The AMB-300 is a general purpose PIR detector designed to provide reliable motion
detection for residential and commercial applications.
Exceptional design care and factory testing ensure years of trouble free performance.
The detectors provide immunity against false alarms from RF, static, electrical tran
-
sient and white light.
Multi-level signal processing*, temperature compensation and a large multi-beam
lens design means that the human target will not slip by unnoticed—even on a hot
summer day.
Four interchangeable lenses, wall or corner mounting and vertical adjustment provide
application versatility. Your client will appreciate the small size and elegant simplicity
of the case design.
The AMB-300 uses a 2-wire connection for power and to communicate with the con
-
trol panel. This simplifies wiring and reduces installation cost. The AMB-300’s low cur
-
rent draw also maximizes the number of devices that can be attached to an
addressable loop.

Locating the Detector
Select a detector location that will provide the coverage required keeping in mind the
following potential problems.
• Do not aim the detector at
reflective surfaces
such as mirrors or windows as this
may distort the coverage pattern or reflect sunlight directly onto the detector.
• Avoid locations that are subject to direct high
air flow
such as near an air duct out
-
let.
• Do not locate the detector near sources of
moisture
(steam or oil).
• Do not aim the detector such that it will receive direct or reflected (mirror)
sunlight
.
• Do not limit the coverage by large
obstructions
within the detection area such as
plants or filing cabinets.
• When using BV-L4 (Pet Alley lens): Do not aim the detector at a stairway which a pet
has access to. Do not place furniture or objects higher than 3 ft/0.9 m, which a pet
can climb onto (e.g. a cat on a couch), closer than 6 ft/1.8 m to the detector.
Device Wiring
To connect the AMB-300, consult the wiring diagram below: Mounting
To open the case, use a small flat blade screwdriver and gently push in the tab at the
bottom of the case and pull the cover straight out at the bottom. Loosen the printed
circuit board screw, and push the board up as far as it will go. Using a small screw
-
driver, remove the appropriate knockouts for the mounting screws. Remove the
desired wiring entrance knockouts located at the top or bottom of the backplate.
Mount the backplate.
Locate mounting screws diagonally opposite each other to prevent the case from
warping.
Device Enrollment
The serial number located on the back of the device must be enrolled into the alarm
control panel via Installer’s Programming ([

] [8] [Installer’s Code]). This procedure is
outlined for the PC4010/4020 in the control panel Installation Manual and for the
Power panels in the PC5100 Installation Manual.
WARNING: Connect only DSC Addressable
Series devices to the addressable
loop connections. Connection of ANY other type of device will impair operation.
Any devices other than Addressable Series devices which require power to oper
-
ate must be powered separately.
Vertical Adjustment
NOTE:
Range and dead zones may vary due to settings.
Using the figures listed below, set the vertical adjustment to get the desired coverage.
Ensure that the PCB retaining screw is tightened just enough to prevent board movement.
Moving the circuit board down will increase the far range and bring the near beams closer
to the mounting wall. Moving the circuit board UP will reduce the far range and move the
near beams farther out from the mounting wall. Moving the circuit board UP too much will
cause the far beams to “look” above the target; as a result, the range may appear shorter.
Jumper J1 selects between harsh and normal environments. For a typical environ
-
ment or one containing a small pet (height less than 1.2 ft/0.36 m), set the unit as nor
-
mal (J1 ON). For a large pet and multiple pets, the jumper J1 should be removed.
Walk Testing
Once the detector has been set up, walk test the entire area where coverage is
desired. Should the coverage be incomplete, readjust or relocate the detector to
obtain full coverage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Upon installation, the unit should be thoroughly tested to
verify proper operation. The end user sh
ould be instructed on how to perform
walk tests, and should walk
test the detector weekly. DM-C and DM-W: Detector Mounting Brackets
Use the optional DM-W Wall Mount and DM-C Ceiling Mount brackets to solve difficult
placement problems. The DM-W and DM-C mount to either the wall or ceiling and
allow for full vertical and horizontal positioning of the motion detector - the detector
can be tilted up or down and rotated through 90° to obtain the best position for opti
-
mal coverage.

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designate
d areas as shown in their respective installation instruc
-
tions. They cannot discriminate betwee
n intruders and intended occupants.
Motion detectors do not provide volu
-
metric area protection. They have multi
ple beams of detection and motion can
only be detected in unobstructed
areas covered by these beams. They ca
nnot detect motion which occurs behind
walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors,
glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of ta
mpering whether intentional or
unintentional such as mask
-
ing, painting, or spraying of any materi
al on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system
will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate
by sensing changes in temperature.
However their effectiveness can be
reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above
body temperature or if there are intentional or uninten
-
tional sources of heat in or near the de
tection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves,
barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight,
steam vents, lighting and so on.
Warning: Digital Security Controls recommends that th
e entire system be completely tested on a regular
basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but
not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical dis
-
ruption, it is possible for this pro
duct to fail to perform as expected.
