DSC WLS914-433 - Installation Manual

Battery Installation
•
This system is designed to work with Eveready
Alkaline Energizer Batteries.
Do not install any other
type. The reliability of the security system depends on its
batteries, and “no name” or generic brand batteries may
not provide the best quality and dependability.
• Use fresh batteries. Most batteries have a “best before”
date printed on their packaging or on the batteries them-
selves. Buy batteries that have a “best before” date of two
years or more from your purchase date.
• When disposing of used batteries, follow the instructions
and precautions printed on the batteries. Many cities and
communities have collection sites or services for used
household batteries. Contact your municipal offices for
information on the disposal of used batteries.
Remove the motion detector from its mounting plate by holding the sensor by its
sides and pushing up. Install four fresh Eveready Alkaline Energizer AA batteries. Be
sure to insert the batteries in the proper orientation. Replace the sensor on its mount-
ing plate, making sure it snaps into place. After the batteries are installed, the detec-
tor will take 60 seconds to warm up. During this time the LED will flash.
FCC Compliance Statement
CAUTION
: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security Controls Ltd. could void your authority
to use this equipment.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, in strict accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found
to comply with the limits for Class B device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart “B” of Part 15 of FCC Rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in any residential installation. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to tel
e-
vision or radio reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna
• Relocate the alarm control with respect to the receiver
• Move the alarm control away from
the receiver
• Connect the alarm control into a different outlet so that alarm control and receiver are on different circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The
user may find the following booklet prepared by the FCC helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio/Television Interfer-
ence Problems”. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,

WLS914
Wireless Dual PIR Motion Detector
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The WLS914 is a specialized PIR motion detector using 2 dual-element PIRs, and
emphasizing immunity from false alarms caused by pets. The WLS914 is equipped
with a specially designed lens*, which enables the detector to discriminate between
humans and small to mid-sized pets.
Multi-Level Signal Processing**, temperature compensation and large multi-beam lens
design mean the human target will not slip by unnoticed even on a hot summer day.
Our WLS914 with its 5 year warranty is your assurance of a trouble-free installation.

Selecting a Mounting Location
Each motion detector should be located so that it provides optimal coverage of the
area to be protected. When selecting locations for motion detectors, observe the
following:
• The mounting height should be 7.5 ft./ 2.3 m.
• Do not aim the detector at a stairway which a pet has access to. Do not place
objects that pets can climb on higher than 3 ft (0.9m) closer than 6 ft (1.8m) to
the detector (e.g. a cat on a couch).
• Do not aim the detector at reflective surfaces such as mirrors or windows. This
may distort the coverage pattern or reflect sunlight directly onto the detector.
Avoid locations where the detector may be exposed to direct or reflected sunlight.
• Avoid locations that are subject to direct air flow, such as near an air duct outlet.
• Do not locate the detector near sources of steam or oil vapor, such as a stove or fryer.
• Do not obscure the detector’s coverage pattern with large objects within the
detection area. If you can’t see the detector, it can’t see you.
• For indoor use only
• Dead zone 6”/15 cm

Canada 2099971 US 5444432 Changing Motion Detector Sensitivity
The motion detector features Fast and Slow detection modes,
which are set on jumper J1. Jumper J1 is set at the factory for
the Fast detection mode. In a normal operating environment,
this setting provides the best detection.
In certain environments where rapid air movement, heaters
and other variables present problems, use Slow detection
mode to stabilize the detection.
The diagram on the right shows the jumper location. 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. To change the setting from
Fast to Slow, remove the jumper.
Note: Refer to the PC5132 and PC5010 Installation Instructions for UL/
ULC requirements. For UL/ULC installations where the WLS914 is used on
entry or exit delay zones, the entry delay must not be longer than 39 sec-
onds, and the exit delay must not be longer than 54 seconds.
High Traffic shutdown Mode
To prolong battery life, the motion detector uses a feature called High Traffic Shut-
down. When motion is detected, the device will transmit to the receiver and will then
shut down for three minutes. If motion is detected again during the shutdown time,
the unit will not transmit the event to the receiver. The detector will thus remain in
the shutdown mode until three minutes after the first motion detected was transmit-
ted. The detector will transmit detected motion every three minutes.
The High Traffic Shutdown Mode affects testing the motion detector in two ways:
• When performing the
module placement test
, the unit must be tampered by remov-
ing the unit from the backplate and replacing it. The placement test cannot be per-
formed by creating motion in front of the device.
• When performing a
system test
, the unit must be left idle for three minutes before test-
ing can be performed. Once three minutes has passed, create motion in front of the
detector to see if the device is both detecting motion and transmitting to the receiver.
Motion Detector Transmission Delay
A motion detector transmission is always delayed by six seconds. This is necessary
to prevent false alarms caused by a motion sensor transmitting before a delay zone
has a chance to report. This six-second delay cannot be altered or disabled.
Walk Test Mode
The motion detector has a walk test mode which will activate an LED for testing pur-
poses. During normal operation, the LED will not turn on.
To put the detector in walk test mode, create a tamper by removing the detector
from its backplate and then replacing it. Each time the detector senses motion, it will
turn on the red LED. Six seconds after motion is detected, the detector will send a
signal to the receiver. The detector will be in walk test mode until it has sent 10
transmissions.
NOTE: The Walk Test Mode will override the High Traffic Shutdown
Mode.

Enrolling the WLS914
On the back of the PIR housing, there will be two serial numbers: a five-digit num-
ber and a six-digit number. Please refer to your receiver installation manual for
information on which serial number should be enrolled.
NOTE: If using a WLS900 system, you must use the five-digit serial number.
Mounting
!
No detector should be mounted without first performing a module
placement test to determine that it is in range of the wireless receiver.
See the Placement Test instructions in the Instruction Sheet for your
receiver, or in the installation manual for your system.
When you have selected a location:
1. Remove the detector from the backplate (with one hand, hold the sides of the
detector, and with your other hand push down on the top of the backplate)
2. Remove the plastic knockouts from the back-
plate mounting holes
3. Place the backplate on the wall in the selected
mounting location, and mark the screw loca-
tions. It is suggested that wall anchors be used
for all screw locations.
4. Secure the backplate to the wall.
5. Secure the enrolled detector to its backplate. Changing Motion Detector Sensitivity
