The OCTOPUSDQ is a Pyronix Octopus Dual Technology Detector designed to offer enhanced security and flexibility in motion detection. The combination of PIR (Passive Infrared) and Microwave Detection technologies provides a reliable solution for environments where false alarms need to be minimized, while offering high-performance detection.

Here’s an overview of its installation, usage, compatibility, and functionality:

1. Installation Steps

A. Preparation

1. Choose the Right Location:

   • Select areas where motion detection is needed, such as hallways, living rooms, or near entry points.
   • For optimal performance, install at a height of approximately 2.2 meters (7.2 feet).
   • Make sure the detector’s field of view encompasses the desired area without being obstructed.

2. Mounting the Detector:

   • Secure the OCTOPUSDQ to a wall or ceiling using the mounting bracket or screws provided.
   • Avoid installing it in direct sunlight, near air conditioning vents, or heaters to prevent false alarms from temperature fluctuations.
   • Ensure that no objects or furniture will block the detector’s coverage area.

3. Wiring:

   • Connect the OCTOPUSDQ to the Pyronix alarm system via the terminals provided for power and signal.
   • Carefully follow the wiring diagram in the user manual to ensure correct connections.

4. Calibration and Testing:

   • Adjust sensitivity and detection range to suit the environment and the desired coverage area.
   • Perform a walk test to ensure the sensor is correctly detecting motion within its range.

2. Placement Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance:

• Field of View: The OCTOPUSDQ provides a wide detection range, typically up to 15 meters, with an adjustable angle for accurate coverage.
• Height and Angle: Ensure the detector is installed at the correct height for the best field of view, and adjust the angle to cover the critical areas of the space.
• Avoid Interference: Do not install the detector near sources of electromagnetic interference, such as large metal objects, microwaves, or fluorescent lights.

3. Compatibility

The OCTOPUSDQ is compatible with:

• Pyronix Enforcer and other Pyronix wired panels: Fully integrates with Pyronix alarm systems for reliable communication.
• Hybrid Systems: Can be used in Pyronix hybrid systems that support both wired and wireless devices.
• Third-Party Alarm Systems: Can also work with third-party systems that support dual-technology sensors (via standard connections).

4. How It Works

• The OCTOPUSDQ uses a combination of PIR and Microwave technologies:
  • PIR (Passive Infrared): Detects changes in infrared radiation (heat) from moving bodies, such as humans, within its field of view.
  • Microwave Detection: Sends out microwave signals and detects the reflected signals from objects in motion. This helps the system confirm the presence of motion more accurately.
• Dual Technology Advantage: The combination of both technologies reduces the likelihood of false alarms caused by environmental changes (e.g., temperature fluctuations or small animals).
• Detection Pattern: The detector can cover up to 15 meters in a standard installation, with adjustable angles for specific coverage needs.

Pet Immunity Feature (Optional for Some Models):

• Some models of the OCTOPUSDQ include a pet immunity feature that ignores movement from pets below a specific weight limit, typically around 25 kg (55 lbs). This ensures pets do not trigger false alarms.

5. Maintenance Tips

1. Routine Testing:

   • Regularly test the detector’s functionality with a walk test to ensure proper coverage and sensitivity.
   • Adjust the settings or positioning if false alarms occur or if detection range needs improvement.

2. Clean the Sensor Lens:

   • Dust or dirt can accumulate on the sensor lens, affecting performance. Clean it gently with a soft cloth as needed.

3. Inspect Wiring Connections:

   • Check the wiring for any loose or damaged connections periodically.

4. Environment Adjustments:

   • If false alarms continue, consider adjusting the sensitivity or moving the sensor to a different location where environmental factors might be less of a concern.

Additional Notes

• The OCTOPUSDQ is ideal for environments that require precise and reliable motion detection, such as businesses, high-security areas, or homes with pets.
• Its dual-technology design reduces false alarms and enhances detection accuracy, making it a flexible solution for various installations.
