JA-188P outdoor wireless motion detector 

JA-188P outdoor wireless motion detector 

2 / 2 

MKU53800 

Setting up the optical part of the detector 

The optical part of the detector contains two PIR sensors with non-overlapping 

94 lobe detection and high false alarm and pet detection immunity. 

Installation at 3.0 m 
above the floor

When installing the detector 2.5m 
above the floor, use the joint holder 
and swivel the detector by 2.5°(one 
click) upwards to achieve a 12m 
detection distance. 

The above-mentioned detection characteristics apply if the detector is installed 

vertically in the guarded area. If a shorter detection range is required, do not tilt the 
detector on the joint. Use the supplied self-adhesive mask foils:

Masking using strips of the supplied foil can also be used to avoid unwanted 

moving objects (e.g. a tree). Use the supplied protective hood for protection 
against sun and rain. 

The joint can be used to adjust the detector position along two axes. When 

installing the detector at the height of 2.5m, swivel it by 2.5° (one click) 
upwards to achieve a 12m detection range.  

Setting up the electronic part of the detector

It is possible to set three levels of detector sensitivity using the switch on the 

left of the bottom PIR – the levels are marked with letters:  

L

 

low – low sensitivity for places with false alarm risks  

M

  middle – medium sensitivity

H

  high – high detection sensitivity 

Other detector parameters can be set with a switch:  

 

normal operation  

  area coverage test 

 

energy saving mode 120 s

standard detection 

increased detection immunity

Area coverage test

 (DIP1) – the energy saving mode is not applied and 

each detectable movement is indicated by an LED. The alarm is always 
transmitted regardless of the energy saving mode settings (DIP2). 

The

energy saving mode 

(DIP2) is similar to that of the JA-180P detector. When 

the detector is activated and transmits the information to the control panel, it 
stops detecting motion for a set time. 

The activation of the LED

 (DIP6) 

serves as an indication of the detector function – i.e. the area coverage. The 
detector always transmits information to the control panel – disable the LED to 
save the batteries in ordinary operation. 

Operation testing  

When the batteries are connected, the detector needs approx. 90 seconds 

for stabilization. The LED keeps flashing all the time. Use the switch to 
commence the area coverage test. Test the correct coverage of the guarded 
area and whether the detector detects motion outside the guarded area. Each 
movement is indicated by a flashing detector LED and the information is 
concurrently sent to the control panel.

When you have tested the correct functioning of the detector, stop the area 

coverage test, check whether the indication LED is off and set the energy saving 
mode to 120s. This is necessary to meet the declared battery lifetime.  

Normal detector operation 

Each time the sensor is activated, the information is transmitted by a radio signal. 

When the detector cover is opened or the detector is removed from the bearing 
plate, a tamper signal is transmitted. The detector also regularly (every 9 minutes) 
transmits control signals which serve the control panel to check the presence and 
readiness of all devices in the installed system.  

The masking protection function 

The detector has an anti-masking function – i.e. protection against masking 

of the detector’s field of sight. If an object is detected in front of the detector for 
more than three minutes, the detector sends a tamper signal. Three short 
flashes of the LED indicate masking (the LED must be enabled). When the 
object has been removed, the indication (tamper signal) ceases after one 
minute.

It is possible to set three levels of this function using the switch on the right 

of the bottom PIR – the levels are marked with letters:  

HI

 

high – high masking detection sensitivity 

STD

 

standard – standard masking detection sensitivity

OFF

 

off – function disabled (default setting)

This function is disabled as a default. 

Checking the status of and replacing 

batteries.

The detector checks battery status automatically and if the batteries are 

running low, it informs the system that they need replacing. The detector 
remains fully functional. The batteries should be changed as soon as possible 
(within 1 week). Use 3.6 V AA batteries exclusively and always replace all 
three at the same time. When the cover has been closed, the detector 
switches to normal operating status.
