This Installation Manual shall be used in conjunction with the Installation Manual of the DSC wireless receiver and
control panel with which this device is intended to be used. The WS4904P detector is designed to combine the
convenience of a wireless detector with effective and reliable detection of human motion as well as good
protection against the nuisance alarms associated with pets weighing up to 60 lbs (27.3kg).

Installing the Detector

The WS4904P detector provides effective immunity to single or multiple pets whose total combined weight does
not exceed 60 lbs. (27.3kg) when installed and configured in the following manner.

Location
Select a detector location that will provide the coverage required and will allow the detector to be mounted a
minimum of 6 ½ ft (1.95m) high and not higher than 10ft (3m) (7½ ft / 2.3m recommended). Consider the following
to avoid false alarms:

Do not aim the detector at a stairwell to which a pet has access

Do not place furniture or objects higher than 3ft (0.9m) which a pet can climb onto (e.g. a cat on a couch),
 closer than 6ft (1.8m) from the detector
Mount the detector flat on a wall or in a corner. Do not angle it downwards or use mounting brackets with this
detector when it is used in conjunction with pets
Do not aim the detector at reflective surfaces such as mirrors or windows as this may distort the coverage
pattern or reflect sunlight directly onto the detector
Avoid locations that are subject to direct high air flow such as near an air duct outlet
Do not locate the detector near sources of moisture such as steam or oil
Do not limit the coverage by large obstructions in the detection area such as plants or cabinets
For indoor use only (non-hazardous locations)

NOTE: No detector should be mounted without first performing a module placement test to determine that it is in
range of the wire-less receiver. See the Placement Test instructions in the Instruction Sheet for your receiver, or in
the Installation Manual for your sys-tem. When a location has been selected, remove the plastic from the
mounting holes and locate the backplate on the wall and mark screw locations. It is suggested that wall anchors
be used for all screw locations. Secure the backplate to the wall, and then secure the enrolled detector to its
backplate.

NOTE: Use only backplates marked as “Type-L”. Using any other backplates will result in the tamper switch being
broken.

Changing the Sensitivity Setting

The WS4904P features “Fast” and “Slow” settings on jumper JP1, which is used to configure the detector for the
weight of the pet(s) and the environment. For an environment with a single pet whose weight does not exceed
30lbs (13.6kg) the jumper should be set to “Fast” set-ting. In an environment with single or multiple pets whose
combined weight is greater than 30lbs (13.6kg) but not greater than 60 lbs.(27.3kg), the jumper must be set to the
“Slow” setting. When the detector is mounted 6 ½ ft to 7 ½ ft high (1.95 to 2.3 m) or there is the possibility of the
pet getting higher than 4ft (1.2 m ) the “slow” setting must be used. To change the setting from Slow to Fast, move
the jumper over one pin, as shown in the diagram.

High Traffic Shutdown Mode

To prolong battery life, the motion detector uses a feature called High Traffic Shutdown. When motion is detected,
the device will transmit to the receiver and will then shut down for three minutes. If motion is detected again during
the shutdown time, the unit will not transmit the event to the receiver. The detector will thus remain in the
shutdown mode until three minutes after the first motion detected was transmitted. The detector will transmit
detected motion every three minutes. The High Traffic Shutdown Mode affects testing the motion detector in two
ways: When performing the module placement test, the unit must be tampered by removing the unit from the
backplate and replacing it. The place-ment test cannot be performed by creating motion in front of the device.
When performing a system test, the unit must be left idle for three minutes before testing can be performed. Once
three minutes has passed, cre-ate motion in front of the detector to see if the device is both detecting motion and
transmitting to the receiver.

NOTE: Refer to the PC5132/RF5132-433/RF5501 or the System Installation Instructions for UL/ULC
requirements. For UL/ULC installations where the WS4904P is used on entry or exit delay zones, the entry delay
must not be longer than 45 seconds, and the exit delay must not be longer than 60 seconds. Motion Detector
Transmis

Motion Detector Transmission Delay

A motion detector transmission is always delayed by six seconds. This is necessary to prevent false alarms
caused by a motion sensor trans- mitting before a delay zone has a chance to report. This six-second delay
cannot be altered or disabled.
Walk Test Mode
The motion detector has a walk test mode which will activate an LED for testing purposes. During normal
operation, the LED will not turn on. To put the detector in walk test mode, create a tamper by removing the
detector from its backplate and then replacing it. Each time the detector senses motion, it will flash the red LED.
Six seconds after motion is detected, the detector will send a signal to the receiver. The detector will be in walk
test mode until it has sent 10 transmissions. To verify the pet immunity of the detector place the animals) within
the coverage area and then move out of the zone. Encourage the pet to move around as it normally would and
ensure that it moves across the detection pattern of the detector. Verify that no alarm is initiated. To test for catch
performance of humans, create motion in the entire area where coverage is desired by walking perpendicular to
the lens pattern. Should the cov- erage be incomplete, readjust or relocate the detector.

NOTE: Pet Immunity not verified by UL.

NOTE: The Walk Test Mode will override the High Traffic Shutdown Mode.

Battery Installation

This system is designed to work with the consumer grade batteries, Energizer Lithium EL123AP, Panasonic
Lithium CR123A or Duracell Lithium Ultra 123. Do not install any other type. The reliability of the security
system depends on its batteries, and “no name” or generic brand batteries may not provide the best quality and
dependability. Use of another type of battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Use a fresh battery. Most batteries have a “best before” date printed on their packaging or on the batteries
themselves. Buy bat-teries that have a “best before” dateof two years or more from your purchase date.

Remove the motion detector from its mounting plate by holding the sensor by its sides and pushing up. Remove
the battery cover (see Fig-ure 3). Remove the old battery and install new battery. Place the battery cover back on.
NOTE: Secure the battery cover with the small screw provided. Replace the sensor on its mounting plate, making
sure it snaps into place. After the battery is installed, the detector will take 60 seconds to warm up. During this
time the LED will flash slowly.

NOTE: The polarity of the battery must be observed (Figure3). Improper handling of lithium batteries may result in
heat generation, explosion or fire, which may lead to personal injuries.

WARNING: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERIES ARE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. REPLACE ONLY WITH
THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE REC-OMMENDED BY THE

MANUFACTURER.
Keep away from small children. If batteries are swallowed, promptly see a doctor. Do not try to recharge these
batteries. Disposal of used batteries must be made in accordance with the waste recovery and recycling
regulations in your area.

WARNING: The battery may explode if mistreated. Do not dispose of in fire, recharge or disassemble.
