Installation Do’s and Don’ts
Do
- Do ensure that the unit’s detection beams are perpendicular to the anticipated movement.
- Keep a minimum distance between adjoining NVX80 detectors to prevent MW cross interference, see the
beam pattern diagram.
- Do place the unit under a roof, awning, or use our all-weather cover for an outdoor installation.
- Do install the within the suggested range: installing the unit lower than 2.5 m/8 ft 2 in may compromise the
Pet Immunity capability, installing over 3.0 m/9 ft 8 in may require use of our swivel bracket adjusted downward
shifting the Pet Immunity beam and neutralizing the creep zone. Installing the unit over 3.0 m/9 ft 8 in does not
affect the creep zone.
Don’t
- Don’t direct the unit’s beams into swaying trees or bushes.
- Don’t place the detector facing direct sunlight or near a heat source , as it might interfere with the Active IR anti-mask feature.
- Don’t place any objects, such as shelves, ledges or plants, below the unit.
- Don’t place any reflective objects within 2m/6ft 6in of the unit, as this may interfere with the MW anti-mask capabilities.
In order to maximize detection efficiency, choose a
location that is most likely to intercept intruders moving
across the coverage area at a 45 degree angle.
Mounting Considerations
The optimal installation height for the NVX80 is
2.5 m to 3.0 m (8 ft 2 in to 10 ft).
2.5 m - 3.0 m
(8'2'' - 10')
Avoid installing the detector near moving objects
(e.g., swaying trees, bushes, etc.).
whether
If the installation site is near heavy traffic or objects
beyond the required detection range, adjust the MW
sensitivity and/or tilt the detector down.
