4. Setup jeung Instalasi
The FTN-ST detector is designed for wall mounting and requires a corded electric power source.
4.1 Milih Lokasi Pasang
Select a location that provides an unobstructed view of the desired detection area, such as a driveway, garage entrance, or garden path. Consider the maximum detection range of 16.4 feet (5 meters) and the adjustable detection patterns (16.5' x 3.3' or 6.7' x 3.3'). Avoid aiming the detector directly at moving foliage, reflective surfaces, or heat sources that could cause false activations.
4.2 Pasang Detektor
- Carefully open the detector casing pikeun ngakses liang pamasangan.
- Position the detector on the chosen wall and mark the drilling points for the mounting screws.
- Bor liang pilot sareng pasang jangkar témbok upami diperyogikeun.
- Secure the detector to the wall using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is firmly attached.
4.3 Wiring jeung Power Connection
Connect the detector to a suitable corded electric power source. Refer to the internal wiring diagram (if present within the unit) for specific terminal connections. Ensure proper polarity and secure all connections. It is recommended to have this step performed by a qualified electrician.
4.4 Adjusting Detection Area
The FTN-ST features dual PIR elements and adjustable detection patterns. Consult the internal adjustment mechanisms (often small dials or switches) to set the desired detection range and pattern (e.g., 16.5 feet long by 3.3 feet wide, or 6.7 feet long by 3.3 feet wide). Test the detection area by walking through it to confirm coverage and sensitivity.
5. Parentah Operasi
Once installed and powered, the Optex FTN-ST detector will continuously monitor its configured detection area. When motion is detected by both PIR elements simultaneously within the set pattern, the detector will activate its output, typically signaling to a connected alarm system or device.
- Power-up: Upon initial power-up, the detector may undergo a brief stabilization period (e.g., 30-60 seconds) during which it may not detect or may show a constant activation. This is normal.
- Detection Indicator: Many detectors include an LED indicator that illuminates upon detection. Observe this LED during testing to verify proper operation.
- Sensitipitas: If the detector is too sensitive (false alarms) or not sensitive enough (missed detections), refer to the adjustment section in the installation guide to fine-tune the sensitivity and detection pattern.
6. Pangropéa
Regular maintenance helps ensure the long-term reliability and performance of your Optex FTN-ST detector.
- beberesih: Periodically clean the detector's lens and casing kalawan lemes, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the lens is free from dirt, dust, spiderwebs, or insect nests that could obstruct detection.
- Pamariksaan: Annually inspect the mounting hardware and wiring connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or loosening. Tighten screws as needed.
- Pariksa Lingkungan: Ensure that no new obstructions (e.g., growing plants, parked vehicles) have entered the detection area that could cause false alarms or block legitimate detections.
7. Cara ngungkulan
If you experience issues with your FTN-ST detector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Masalah | Mungkin Cukang lantaranana | Solusi |
|---|---|---|
| Teu aya deteksi | No power; obstructed lens; incorrect sensitivity; wiring issue | Check power supply; clean lens; adjust sensitivity; verify wiring connections |
| Alarm palsu | Environmental interference (e.g., moving plants, animals, heat sources); incorrect sensitivity | Adjust detection area/sensitivity; relocate detector; clear obstructions |
| Deteksi intermiten | Loose wiring; power fluctuations; partial obstruction | Check all wiring connections; ensure stable power; clear any partial obstructions |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact Optex customer support or a qualified technician.
