JA-188P outdoor wireless motion detector 

1 / 2 

MKU53800 

The JA-188P wireless PIR detector is designed to indicate movement 

outside the building caused by human bodies. It is based on an outdoor 
detector by Optex supplemented with a transmitter compatible with Jablotron 
systems. Both the detector and the transmitter are powered by three lithium 
batteries and the low battery signal is transmitted to an control panel. The 
detector is equipped with two TAMPER contacts (front and rear), which 
immediately report opening of the detector cover or its possible tearing from the 
place of installation. The detector regularly performs automatic tests and reports 
its status to the control panel.

Installation

The following instructions should be followed when selecting a place for 

detector installation: 

x

  The detector must be installed in a position where its bottom surface is 

parallel to the watched zone (either directly on the wall, or possibly, if a 
change of direction is required, the supplied joint can be used). This 
condition is essential for good immunity to false alarms. For more 
information see Fig.1. 

x

  The detector should be installed 2.5 – 3 m above the ground.  

x

  No other moving objects (bushes, trees, high grass, etc.) should be 

situated in the detection area of the detector. These objects can be 
masked out using the supplied foils. Avoid direct action by strong sources 
of light (sun reflections). You can use the supplied viewing hood for this 
purpose.

x

When selecting the right place to install your detector, keep in mind that the 
best movement detection is provided when the detection zones intersect 
(Fig.2).

1. Unfasten the curing 

screw on the bottom side of the upper cover and remove it. 

2.  Pull the plastic tab under the lower PIR sensor slightly to remove the 

optical part. 

Warning: Do not touch the detector sensing face during 

handling.

3.  Use a screwdriver to punch a hole on the right of the bottom detector cover 

in order to pull the rear TAMPER cable through (supplied in the package). 

 When installed without the joint holder: 

x

  Use the Base Mounting Template from the box lid. 

x

  Pull the rear TAMPER cable through the punched hole in the bottom 

detector cover and fix a magnetic contact to the place according to the 
template (Base side). 

x

  Mark a place on the wall where you want to install the detector – i.e. holes 

for the screws and the magnet (Wall side), and fix the magnet to the wall.  

x

  Fix the rear cover on the wall while checking the position of the magnet 

and the reed contact (they should be as close as possible). 

 When installed with the joint holder: 

x

  Use the Bracket Base Mounting Template from the box lid. 

x

  Press the plastic tab to remove the screw cover (secured with a plastic 

cord against falling during work ). 

x

  Unscrew the securing screw (inside under the cover) to loosen the joint 

and swivel it to one side to gain access to the installation holes.  

x

  Pull the rear TAMPER cable through the cavity in the joint and fix the 

magnetic contact in the given place (between the plastic lugs).  

x

  Mark a place on the wall where you want to install the detector – i.e. holes 

for the screws and the magnet (Wall side), and fix the magnet to the wall. 

x

  Fix the joint holder to the wall while checking the position of the magnet 

and the reed contact (they must touch). 

x

  Now screw the bottom cover together with the joint holder. Remove the 

central screw which blocks vertical movement and screw it through a hole 
in the bottom cover. 

4.  Pull the rear TAMPER cable through the opening you have punched in the 

bottom detector cover and insert the rear TAMPER connector into the pins 
marked TMP IN (remove the jumper installed in production). 

Enrolling the detector to the system

The signal transmitter for wireless communication is located underneath the 

optical part of the detector. 

The transmitter’s battery case is not used;

 the 

batteries are inserted into the battery holder of the motion detector. 

Use three 

AA 3.6V lithium batteries by the same manufacturer and replace all three 
batteries at the same time.

 The correct position of the batteries is indicated on 

the battery holder. When inserting the batteries, it is necessary to remove the 
part of the holder held in place with a metal lug. When the batteries have been 
installed, the transmitter sends a signal which enrolls it to the control panel (the 
control panel must be in enrollment mode at that time – see the manual). Use 
switch no. 2 to set the system’s reaction to any detected movement (ON = 
instant or OFF = delayed). Switch no. 1 should be left in the OFF position
