Interlogix AP450 - Manual

AP450 Motion Sensors Installation Instructions
Description
The AP450 sensors (models AP450 and AP450A) are passive
infrared motion detectors that are highly sensitive to moving
infrared sources. They feature superior immunity to RFI,
vibration, static electricity, temperature changes, and other
false alarm sources.
The sensors provide jumper-selectable sensitivity, range, and
LED settings. The masks included allow the coverage pattern
to be modified for a wide variety of applications.

Parts
The following parts are included:
• AP450 or AP450A sensor
• Three factory-installed jumpers
• Two plastic masks
• Sheet of adhesive masking labels
• Cardboard undercrawl window mask
• One screw to secure the housing cover
Selecting a mounting location
Install the unit so that the expected movement of an intruder
will be across the detection pattern. See Figure 2 below.
Avoid possible false alarm sources such as:
• Direct sunlight on the sensor
• Heat sources in the field of view (heaters, radiators, etc.)
• Strong air drafts onto the sensor (fans, air conditioning
etc.)
• Large animals (dogs, cats) in a field of view The unit
should be mounted at a height of 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to
3.0m).
Caution: You must be free of static electricity before handling
sensor circuit boards. Touch a grounded, bare metal surface
before touching circuit boards or wear a grounding strap.

Mounting the sensor
1. To remove the cover plate, insert a flat-bladed screwdriver
between the notch on the top of the cover plate and the
cover. Pry up the cover plate. See Figure 1 above.
2. Remove the housing screw that holds the cover to the
base, insert a flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot above
the screw hole. Pry the cover off the base. See Figure 1
above.
