Protecting schools presents a particular challenge to security system installers.
Rooms in schools are typically larger than in other commercial environments
(auditoriums, lecture halls, gymnasiums), and hallways are longer. And a very
important concern is defense against vandalism.
It may also be necessary to protect outdoor areas to prevent unwanted entry at
certain times of the day or night.
PIRs should be located high, near the corners of walls where they are least
conspicuous. Rugged design is a plus.
Outdoor PIRs should be mounted high, out of reach of vandals, in areas where
they will not be exposed to direct sunlight. For outdoor installation see
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL OUTDOOR AREAS section.
The 6155 Sharpshooter with 6085 Wire Cage, or the 6187CTX Industrial PIR offer
the best protection against vandalism. The 6187CTX is ideal for areas that may be
exposed to water, high humidity, heat or chemicals, as in school kitchens or shops.
It incorporates a cast metal housing, allowing it to be used indoors or outdoors.
For larger areas and 200 ft hallway coverage use the PR633. It provides 80 ft wide
angle, 40 ft curtain and 200 ft long range coverage patterns. (see page 42)
