DSC AMB-600 - Installation Manual

AMB-600
Addressable PIR Detector
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The AMB-600 is a specialized Dual PIR motion sensor which
emphasizes immunity from false alarms caused by pets.
The AMB-600 is equipped with a specially designed lens*
which enables the detector to discriminate between humans
and small to mid-sized pets.
Multi-Level Signal Processing**, temperature compensation
and large multi-beam lens design means the human target
will not slip by unnoticed even on a hot summer day. Immu-
nity against false alarms from RF, static, electrical transients
and white light are all features designed and integrated by
DSC.
The AMB-600 uses a 2-wire connection for power and to
communicate with the control panel. This simplifies wiring
and reduces installation cost. The AMB-600’s low current
draw also maximizes the number of devices that can be
attached to an addressable loop.

Beam Patterns for AMB-600 Lens Locating the Detector
Select a detector location that will provide the coverage required keeping in mind the following
potential problems.
• 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
(steam or oil).
• Do not aim the detector such that it will receive direct or reflected (mirror)
sunlight
.
• Do not limit the coverage by large
obstructions
within the detection area such as plants or filing
cabinets.
• Do not aim the detector at a stairway which a
pet
has access to. Do not place furniture or objects
higher than 3 ft/0.9 m, which a pet can climb onto (e.g. a cat on a couch), closer than 6 ft/1.8 m to
the detector.
Device Wiring
To connect the AMB-600, consult the wiring diagram below:
Mounting
To open the case, use a small flat blade screwdriver and gently push in the tab at the bottom of the
case and pull the cover straight out at the bottom. Loosen the printed circuit board screw, and push
the board up as far as it will go. Using a small screwdriver, remove the appropriate knockouts for the
mounting screws. Remove the desired wiring entrance knockouts located at the top or bottom of the
backplate. Mount the backplate.
Locate mounting screws diagonally opposite each other to prevent the case from warping.
Device Enrollment
The serial number located on the back of the device must be enrolled into the alarm control panel
via Installer’s Programming ([*] [8] [Installer’s Code]). This procedure is outlined for the PC4010/
4020 v3.x in the control panel Installation Manual and for Power panels in the PC5100 Installation
Manual.
WARNING: Connect only DSC Addressable Series devices to the addressable loop
connections. Connection of ANY other type of device will impair operation. Any
devices other than Addressable Series devices which require power to operate must
be powered separately.
Vertical Adjustment
NOTE:
Range and dead zones may vary due to settings.
Using the figures listed below, set the vertical adjustment to get the desired coverage. Ensure that
the PCB retaining screw is tightened just enough to prevent board movement.
Moving the circuit board down will increase the far range and bring the near beams closer to the
mounting wall. Moving the circuit board UP will reduce the far range and move the near beams far-
ther out from the mounting wall. Moving the circuit board UP too much will cause the far beams to

Jumper J1 selects between harsh and normal environments. For a typical environment or one con-
taining a small pet (height less than 1.2 ft/0.36 m), set the unit as normal (J1 ON). For a large pet
and multiple pets, the jumper J1 should be removed.
Walk Testing
Once the detector has been set up, walk test the entire area where coverage is desired. Should the
coverage be incomplete, readjust or relocate the detector to obtain full coverage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Upon installation, the unit should be thoroughly tested to verify
proper operation. The end user should be instructed on how to perform walk tests,
and should walk test the detector weekly.
DM-C and DM-W: Detector Mounting Brackets
Use the optional DM-W Wall Mount and DM-C Ceiling Mount brackets to solve difficult placement
problems. The DM-W and DM-C mount to either the wall or ceiling and allow for full vertical and hor-
izontal positioning of the motion detector - the detector can be tilted up or down and rotated through
90° to obtain the best position for optimal coverage.

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated
areas as shown in their respective installation instructions.
They cannot discriminate between intr
uders and intended occupant
s. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area
protection. They have multiple beams
of detection and motion can only be de
tected in unobstructed areas covered by
these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass
doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or
unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of
any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes
in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced
when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperat
ure or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of
heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces,
sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Warning: Digital Security Controls recommends that the entire system be completely tested on a regular basis.
However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical disruption, it is
possible for this product to fail to perform as expected.
