The Model DXS-54 Supervised Passive Infrared Motion Detector
Transmitter is a battery powered passive infrared motion
detector with a built-in transmitter designed for use with
Linear's DXS and DX format receivers. This transmitter can be
used in a variety of motion detection applications. When the
passive infrared sensor detects motion in its field of view,
the transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to its
companion receiver.
The digital DXS code format features over a million possible
codes. The DXS transmitters are precoded at the factory to
unique codes, so no field coding is required. The DXS-54 can
send three different signals: alarm, low battery and
status.
In a typical installation, the motion detector is mounted
indoors in a corner or on a wall between six and eight feet
high. The sensor will monitor the infrared level in its
detection pattern. If the level increases or decreases rapidly
(as when a person or animal moves through the area) the
transmitter triggers, sending an alarm signal to the
receiver.
The unit is powered from a 9-Volt alkaline battery. The
battery's life can be up to three years depending on the area's
traffic. When the battery gets low, the test indicator will
flash and a low battery signal will be sent to the receiver
when the detector senses motion.
Approximately every hour, the DXS-54 will send a status
transmission to the receiver. The hourly signal updates the
receiver to the transmitter's condition. By monitoring status
transmissions, the receiver can determine if a transmitter has
a low battery or has been removed from the system. DXS format
receivers can monitor status signals, DX format receivers
cannot.
To conserve battery life, during normal operation, the
detector can trigger the transmitter a maximum of once every
four minutes.
For setup and testing, pressing the detector's test button
places the unit in walk test mode for four minutes. The
installer can walk in front of the unit while viewing the red
test indicator through the detector's lens to determine the
detection area.
In walk test, an alarm signal is sent each time the walk
test indicator lights. During normal operation, the detector
requires a pulse count of three events in eight seconds before
sending an alarm transmission.
