PrecisionLine RCR-A/RCR-C
Description
PrecisionLine dual technology sensors combine range-controlled
radar (RCR) technology with a passive infrared (PIR) system to
increase false alarm immunity by allowing them to sense human-
sized objects within a specified range. Both the RCR and PIR
systems must be triggered to set off an alarm, unless in stealth mode
(radar-only).
The detector is designed to use a 12VDC power supply provided
by a UL Listed alarm control panel.
Features
The detector provides the following features:
• Stealth Mode (radar only) - Internal jumper allows you to
disable the PIR, and use the radar only to detect intruders faster.
This mode can be used for covert installations (mounted behind
walls).
• Selectable range up to 35 feet (10.7m) - Internal jumper
allows radar range selection to optimize coverage.
• LED indicator - A multi-color LED provides detector status.
• Tamper switch (RCR-C only) - Activated when the pins on the
circuit board are removed from the terminal sockets on the base.
Parts
The following parts are included with the detector:
• RCR detector
• 1 screw to join the case halves
• 3 factory-installed jumpers
Selecting a Location for the Detector
The detector can be mounted in a corner or on a flat wall. Use the
following guidelines to determine the best location to install the
detector:
• Mount the detector so the expected movement of an intruder is
across the detection pattern. See Figure 1.
• Mount the detector on a stable surface 7 to 9 feet (2.1 to 2.7m)
high.
• DO NOT mount the detector within 2 feet (0.6m) of any metallic
objects or within 5 feet (1.5m) of any florescent lights.
• DO NOT place any objects in front of the detector that may
prevent a clear line of sight. Not applicable in High Security
Mode (radar only).
• Avoid locations that expose the detector to possible false alarm
sources such as:
– Moving or vibrating objects (fans, pulleys, conveyor belts)
– Electronic fields (electric motors, high voltage equipment)
– Water spray or corrosive environments
– Heat sources in the field of view (heaters, radiators)
– Windows in the field of view
– Strong air drafts on the detector (fans, air conditioners)
• When installing multiple detectors:
– DO NOT mount detectors facing each other.
– Mount them at least 20 feet (6.1m) apart.
– Use shorter range settings to avoid overlapping radar coverage.
– Mounting sensors back to back is not recommended, but if
an application requires such mounting, use the 9-foot (2.7m)
range, mount at least 1foot (0.3m) apart, and walk test the
installation to ensure proper operation.
