ELK-319PIRW — Wall Mounted Wireless PIR Sensor Manual

Installation and programming manual for the ELK-319PIRW Wall Mounted Wireless PIR Sensor — a supervised passive infrared motion sensor with pet immunity, compatible with Elk's 319MHz receivers/panels and other 319.5MHz panels using the ITI/Interlogix protocol.

Description

The ELK-319PIRW is a supervised wireless PIR (passive infrared) motion sensor designed for wall-mounting. It detects movement by sensing infrared energy emitted from a body as it moves across the sensor's field of view. When motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm signal to the control panel; it also sends tamper, hourly supervisory, and low battery signals. Powered by one (1) replaceable 3VDC lithium battery.

Specifications

Sensor Disassembly & Base Mounting

Use a screwdriver to push the latch at the bottom of the sensor, then lift up on the cover from the bottom to remove it. For flat wall mounting, use the keyhole-shaped holes in the base. For corner or 45-degree mounting, drill open at least 2 of the holes in the base (left and right side depressions).

Programming (Enrollment)

General guideline for enrolling the sensor — for more extensive instructions refer to your receiver or panel manual.

1. Place the panel into Program mode.
2. Proceed to the WIRELESS SETUP menu.
3. Select the appropriate zone/sensor location number.
4. When the panel prompts to trip the sensor: separate the sensor from the mounting base, and remove the battery pull tab (if present) to power the sensor. The panel should acknowledge the sensor has been learned via a keypad display and/or audio alert. If enrollment doesn't succeed, repeat by removing/reinstalling the battery or pressing/releasing the tamper plunger.
5. For additional sensors, repeat the process, then proceed to zone programming to assign each sensor's zone definition. Important: set the Zone Loop as "1" for this sensor.
6. Exit the panel's Program mode when finished.

Sensitivity Setting

Set Jumper JP2 per the diagram on the circuit board.

• Hi Sensitivity: detection should occur in about 2 to 4 steps.
• Std Sensitivity: detection should occur in about 3 to 5 steps.

Pet Immunity

The ELK-319PIRW is designed to allow pets up to 22 lbs. to move through its field of view without triggering an alarm, using a special micro-element lens array that produces stronger optical signals for humans than for smaller pets. Pets vary widely — some pets, especially larger ones with short hair, may generate enough infrared radiation to cause alarms even if under 22 lbs. Users are strongly encouraged to test the sensor with their own pets to verify it won't false-alarm.

Recommended Installation Practices

• Mount on a solid, flat wall surface in a corner.
• Surface must be solid with no vibration or movement.
• Mount at a height of 7.5 ft. above the finished floor.
• Set sensitivity to Standard.
• Position where an intruder would most likely walk across the coverage pattern.
• If pets are present, they must not be allowed to climb on furniture or objects within the field of view.
• Do not mount near ceiling fans or heating ducts.
• Do not mount on metal surfaces — reduces range.
• Avoid sensor pointing directly at a window or direct sunlight.
• Install within 100 ft. of the receiver or panel.
• Room temperature should be between 60 and 120°F.

Walk Test and Operation (3-Minute Lockout)

To conserve battery life, the sensor has an automatic 3-minute sleep-mode lockout between transmissions. To perform a walk test, open the sensor cover and enable the LED (set Jumper J1 to the "LED" position). Replace the cover and walk across the monitored area within the sensor's field of view — the LED should turn on after 2 to 4 normal steps. Stop and wait 12 seconds before continuing; when there's no motion, the LED should remain off. It's recommended not to leave Jumper J1 in the LED position long-term, since excessive walk-test use reduces battery life — use it only for initial setup and maintenance.

Battery Life and Replacement

Battery life depends on how often the sensor transmits and the environmental temperature. The sensor sends a low-battery indication to the panel when battery voltage is low — replace it as soon as possible with a Panasonic CR123 3V battery.

• Depress the cover latch on the top edge and lower the cover.
• Remove the battery from its holder and install a new one, observing (+) polarity marked on the battery and circuit board.

Caution: Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, incinerate, or expose to heat above 212°F (100°C). Keep away from children. This sensor's lithium battery is not rechargeable or reusable — dispose of it according to local hazardous waste disposal laws.

FCC and IC Compliance Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules, providing reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). In accordance with FCC requirements for human exposure to radio frequency fields, the radiating element must be installed with a minimum separation distance of 20cm from the general population.
