Freeko II PIR  

Installation Instructions 

REV 1

 

 

 
 

Introduction 

The Freeko II PIR is an advanced, fully 
supervised low-current wireless PIR that 
includes a Freeko RF transmitter. Both 
transmitter and detector circuits are powered by 
long life Lithium battery. 
Each Freeko II PIR has a unique ID code (this 
code is impossible to reproduce). Compatible 
Freeko RF receivers are designed to “learn” 
specific IDs and respond only to them. 
Following detection, Freeko II PIR triggers the 
on-board transmitter that transmits its specific 
Freeko II RF ID followed by an alarm signal and 
status designators for battery condition. If 
detector cover is removed Tamper Event 
triggers the on-board transmitter. 
Alarm and other data are forwarded to the 
alarm control panel. A periodic test 
transmission for supervision purpose takes 
place automatically once in 12~14 min. The 
receiver is informed that the particular 
detector is taking an active part in the 
wireless security system. 

 
The FR II PIR has unique Alarm Power 
Saver (APS) mechanism that enables 
transmitter activation only 2 min after the last 
movement has been detected.

Operation 

The Wireless PIR transmits the following 
events data: 

Supervision

 - 

a periodical transmission.

 

Every 12~14 min indicates detector’s 
presence. 

Alarm

 – alarm transmission triggered by PIR 

intrusion detection.  

Low Bat

 – Whenever the battery reaches a 

pre-set low level (2.4V) Battery Low signal 
will be sent with the next message 
(Supervision, Alarm, etc). 

Tamper

 – Whenever the FR II PIR cover is 

removed or the unit’s cover is put back, a 
message will be transmitted with “Tamper” 
signal. 

APS  

The unique APS (Automatic Power Saver) 
function built in the detector enables a battery 
life span up to four years. The detector will 
transmit only when the last event has occurred 
more than 2 minutes prior to the current one.

  

 

Select Mounting Location 

Select the mounting location so that an 
intruder will cross the beams of the selected 
pattern. 
As the detector is a wireless transmitter, and 
in order to take full advantage from PIR 
sophisticated operation, do not install the 
detector in areas where large metal objects 
could interfere the transmission of signals. It 
is also advisable to avoid following locations: 

• 

Facing direct sunlight. 

• 

Facing areas that may change 

temperature rapidly. 

• 

Areas where there are air ducts or 

substantial airflows. 

• 

Installation on metal wall. 

The Freeko II PIR performs better when 
provided with a constant and stable 
environment.

Mounting the Detector 

1. To remove the front cover, unscrew the holding 

screw and insert a flat screwdriver in the slot 
between the front and the bottom above the 
holding screw hole and push gently, until the 
front cover is disengaged and the opening click is 
heard.(Fig. 1) 

2.  To remove the PC board, carefully unscrew the 

holding screw located on the PC board. 

3.  Break out the desired holes for proper installing.  
4. Mount the detector base to the wall, corner or 

ceiling.  

5. Reinstall the PC board by fully tightening the 

holding screw.  

6. Before battery replacement capacitors discharge 

must be done - use flat screwdriver to make 
momentary short circuit for JP2 pins.(Fig. 3) 

7.  Install battery in the battery holder according 

polarity. 

8. Replace the cover by inserting it back in the 

appropriate closing pin until the closing click is 
heard.

Setting up the Detector (Fig. 3)

  

The sensitivity adjustment jumper sets up the 
detector for normal or harsh environment 
condition.  

 
Setting the Sensitivity Adjustment (Pulse 
Width) Jumper 

 

• 

Position 1= Normal  

• 

Position AUTO = Harsh 

The “1” position setting is for normal operation.    

The “AUTO” position setting is for harsh 
environment locations with air drafts or small 
animals. 

 

 

 
 

RSSI – RF Signal Indication 

The Freeko RF control panel has “RF Signal 
quality Indication” for each transmitter in 
order to help the installer to define best 
location for the detector from RF point of 
view. 
The indication value is between 1 and 100, 
where 100 is the best RF received signal. If 
the RSSI indication is less then 30, it is a 
sign for weak RF link, try to find a better 
installation for the PIR.  
 
NOTE:  
See Freeko RF control panel installation 
instruction. 
 

WARNING: Test this product at least 

once a week.

 

 

 

ID registration - “Learn” procedure 

Refer to the system receiver’s installation 
instructions and follow the procedure given there 
for “learning” detector IDs.  
Perform transmission by pressing and 
releasing tamper switch for learning it by 
FREEKO RF control panel receiver.  
Make sure that the receiver is at learning 
mode - according to control panel installation 
instruction. 

 

Note: 
It is recommended to power up the detector 
and let the system receiver “learn” the 
detector’s ID before actual installation.
