PYRONIX TRI-TECH ANTI-MASK MOTION DETECTOR GRADE 3 - FPTMD15G3-3

The Pyronix Tri-Tech Anti-Mask Motion Detector (Model: FPTMD15G3-3) is a high-performance security device designed to provide enhanced protection and reduce the likelihood of false alarms. Featuring Tri-Tech technology, this detector integrates Passive Infrared (PIR) and Microwave detection, along with Anti-Mask functionality, to detect motion in a variety of environments, while actively preventing any masking attempts that could interfere with its operation.

This Grade 3 certified detector is suitable for use in environments that require high levels of security, such as commercial or high-risk residential applications. The Anti-Mask feature ensures that the detector can detect if an object is obstructing its sensor, which could potentially lead to a security breach.

The Tri-Tech detection ensures precise detection by combining both PIR and microwave technologies, enabling it to effectively distinguish between genuine threats and environmental changes, reducing the chance of false alarms. It also boasts adjustable sensitivity and a wide detection range, making it versatile for different installation scenarios.

The FPTMD15G3-3 refers to a Pyronix 15m Pet Immune Dual Technology Detector. It combines PIR (Passive Infrared) and Microwave Detection technologies to provide reliable motion detection while minimizing false alarms caused by pets. Here's a detailed overview of its installation, application, compatibility, and functionality:

1. Installation Steps

A. Preparation

1. Choose the Right Location:

   • Install in areas where motion detection is required, such as living rooms, hallways, or entry points.
   • Position it at a height of 2.2 meters (approximately 7.2 feet) for optimal performance.
   • Ensure the detector's field of view covers the area to be monitored while avoiding blind spots.

2. Mount the Detector:

   • Use the provided screws or mounting brackets to secure the detector on a flat wall or corner.
   • Avoid areas prone to rapid temperature changes, such as near heating vents, windows, or direct sunlight.
   • Ensure it is not obstructed by furniture or other objects.

3. Wiring:

   • Connect the detector to the alarm system using the terminal block for power and signal.
   • Follow the wiring diagram provided in the user manual to ensure correct connections.

4. Calibration and Testing:

   • Adjust the sensitivity settings to suit the environment and minimize false alarms.
   • Test the detection range and pet immunity by walking within the sensor's field of view and observing its response.

2. Placement Guidelines

To ensure effective motion detection while avoiding false alarms caused by pets:

• Field of View: The detector has a coverage area of 15 meters with a wide-angle detection pattern. Ensure this matches the requirements of the monitored area.
• Avoid Direct Interference: Do not install near large metal objects, fluorescent lighting, or devices emitting microwave signals, as these may interfere with the sensor.

3. Compatibility

The FPTMD15G3-3 is designed for use with:

• Pyronix Wired Alarm Systems: It integrates seamlessly with Pyronix hybrid or wired panels.
• Third-Party Systems: Can be connected to other alarm systems via standard wiring, as long as they support dual-technology detectors.
• Pet-Friendly Environments: Suitable for homes or offices with small pets weighing up to approximately 25kg (55 lbs), depending on installation height and sensitivity settings.

4. How It Works

The FPTMD15G3-3 combines two detection technologies to enhance accuracy:

1. Passive Infrared (PIR):

   • Detects heat emitted by moving objects (e.g., humans) within the detection area.
   • Filters out smaller heat signatures from pets to reduce false alarms.

2. Microwave Detection:

   • Sends microwave signals and detects reflections to sense motion.
   • Provides additional verification, reducing the likelihood of false alarms caused by environmental factors.

Pet Immunity Feature:

• The detector ignores motion from pets below the designated weight threshold by analyzing the size, shape, and movement pattern of the object.

5. Maintenance Tips

1. Periodic Testing:

   • Test the detector regularly to ensure it functions correctly.
   • Use the walk test feature (if available) to verify the detection range and sensitivity.

2. Clean the Lens:

   • Dust and debris can obstruct the PIR sensor. Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth as needed.

3. Inspect Wiring:

   • Check for loose connections or damage to the wiring periodically.

4. Environmental Adjustments:

   • If false alarms occur, adjust the sensitivity or reposition the detector to better suit the environment.
