FLUSH-MOUNTING A PIR<br />

INSTALLATION<br />

PRODUCTS<br />
Flush-mounting a PIR makes the sensor no more intrusive in a room than an<br />
electrical outlet or switch. Flush mount PIRs are most often used in pre-wired<br />
security installations, but can also be used in retro-fit installations.<br />
The 6255FM Flush mount PIR fits into a standard, plastic single-gang electrical<br />
box. If the security system is to be pre-wired, mount a single-gang box for each<br />
sensor as planned with the builder. Sensor wires can then be easily run through<br />
walls and routed to the control panel. Do not run the PIR wires along side AC<br />
wires due to noise problems.<br />
Choose a wall that is adjacent to the room’s entrance to get the best line of sight<br />
for the sensor. Or, when using the 6255FM, mount the box in the ceiling.<br />
Run wires through the box to the sensor’s terminal block. Most rooms need only<br />
one-zone sensitivity. If the room is subject to temperature fluctuations or other<br />
instability, use the 6155 and adjust the unit for two-zone sensitivity.<br />
Screw the entire unit into the single-gang box as you would an electrical outlet.<br />
For retro-fit installations, take care to cut a hole in the wall just large enough to fit<br />
a single-gang remodel box. Or, in the case of the 6155, cut the hole just large<br />
enough for the PIR to fit. If the hole is too large, the flush mount PIR’s cover plate will<br />
not cover it completely.<br />
Walk-test the unit to ensure correct operation.<br />
The 6255FM Flush Mount SureShot, and the 6155 Sharpshooter with the 6082<br />
Flush Mount Kit, can be mounted in the wall or ceiling.<br />
