4. Fametrahana sy fametrahana

4.1. Mifidy toerana fametrahana

Select a location that provides optimal coverage for the desired detection area. For curtain effect detection, mount the detector to cover the entry point (e.g., above a window or door). Avoid direct exposure to heat sources, air vents, or direct sunlight, which can cause false alarms. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and free from vibrations.

4.2. Fametrahana ny Detector

1. Carefully open the detector casing according to the instructions provided inside the packaging.
2. Mark the desired mounting points on the wall or frame.
3. Drill pilot holes if necessary and secure the backplate of the detector using appropriate screws.
4. Ensure the detector is firmly attached and oriented correctly to achieve the desired curtain detection pattern.

4.3. Fametrahana bateria

The MG-10/86BDAM is powered by batteries. Refer to the internal markings for the correct battery type and quantity. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the detector casing securely after battery installation.

4.4. System Pairing/Enrollment

To integrate the detector with your Paradox security system, follow the enrollment procedure specific to your control panel. This typically involves putting the control panel into programming mode and triggering the detector to transmit its unique identification code. Consult your control panel's manual for detailed pairing instructions.

5. Torolàlana miasa

5.1. Detection Principle

The MG-10/86BDAM utilizes dual technology: Passive Infrared (PIR) detects changes in infrared energy (body heat), and microwave technology detects movement. Both technologies must be triggered simultaneously to generate an alarm, significantly reducing false alarms. The 868 MHz frequency ensures reliable wireless communication with the control panel.

5.2. Anti-Masking Feature

The anti-masking feature continuously monitors the detector's lens for any attempts to obstruct its view (e.g., by spraying paint or covering it). If an obstruction is detected, the detector will transmit an anti-masking tamper signal to the control panel, alerting you to potential sabotage.

5.3. Tondro LED

The detector may feature LED indicators to provide visual feedback on its status, such as motion detection, low battery, or tamper events. Refer to your system's specific configuration for the exact meaning of each LED state.

6. Fikojakojana

6.1. Fanadiovana

Periodically clean the detector's lens and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the device, as this may damage the components or impair detection performance.

6.2. Fanoloana bateria

When the system indicates a low battery condition for the MG-10/86BDAM, replace all batteries with new ones of the specified type. Always replace all batteries at the same time. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

6.3. Fitsapana tsy tapaka

It is recommended to test the detector's functionality regularly (e.g., monthly) to ensure it is operating correctly. Refer to your security system's manual for instructions on how to perform a system test.

7. Famahana olana

• Fanairana diso:
  • Check for heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight) or moving objects (curtains, pets) within the detection area.
  • Ensure the detector is securely mounted and not subject to vibrations.
  • Verify that the lens is clean and unobstructed.
• Tsy misy famantarana:
  • Confirm batteries are correctly installed and not depleted.
  • Check for obstructions blocking the detector's view.
  • Ensure the detector is properly enrolled with the control panel.
  • Verify the detection range and angle are appropriate for the protected area.
• Anti-Masking Tamper:
  • Inspect the detector's lens for any physical obstruction or foreign material.
  • Clean the lens thoroughly.
• Famaritana ny bateria ambany:
  • Replace all batteries with new ones of the specified type immediately.

If issues persist after attempting these troubleshooting steps, contact technical support.
