Add & ID on to the System

Procedure:

1. Enter engineer mode on the SecureWave system.
2. Open the RF-PIR and pull the isolator away from the battery — this powers it up.
3. If you have multiple RF-PIRs, open them all at this stage and remove their isolators. Don’t close their lids yet.
4. Navigate to: Devices Menu → RF Devs Menu → Add & Id RF Devs.
5. Add and identify the RF-PIR as a zone. The sub-menu offers three device types:

• 1 Add&Id: RF Zones — add zone devices (PIR, contact sensor, etc.)
• 2 Add&Id: RF Keyfob — add keyfob devices
• 3 Add&Id: RF Echo — add echo (repeater) devices

6. The system displays Devs Found - 000 when scanning starts. As it finds devices, the count increments (e.g. Devs Found - 001).
7. When all devices are found, press PLAY/QUIT.
8. Close the devices’ tamper switches by fitting their lids.
9. As you close each tamper switch in sequence, you will hear an audible indication as each device is identified into the system.

note

The RF-Echo can have a delayed reaction.

RF Device Options (Programmable Settings)

Menu path: 1 Service Menu → 2 Devices Menu → 1 RF Devices Menu → 4 RF Device Options

Then select:

• 1 RF Zone Opts → select zone number (e.g. Z01 Zone 1)
• 2 RF Keyfob Opts → select keyfob number (e.g. Z02 Zone 2)

Sensitivity

You can set the sensitivity of the RF-PIR. There are three levels:

Setting	Description
LOW	Low sensitivity
MED	Medium sensitivity (default)
HI	High sensitivity

Monitored Supervisory (Mon Sup)

The Mon Sup (Monitored Supervisory) signal is defaulted to YES. When the device is “lost” for a prolonged period of time, a supervisory alarm is flagged by the panel. This can be turned off by selecting NO.

warning

We recommend that this feature is left as YES.

Locate RF Devices

Menu path: 1 Service Menu → 2 Devices Menu → 1 RF Devices Menu → 2 Locate RF Devices

Then select:

• 1 Locate: RF Zone → select zone number
• 2 Locate: RF Keyfob → select keyfob number

The LED on the selected RF-PIR will flash on and off every second, helping you to locate it.

note

Opening and closing the tamper switch on a device will also locate and display that device at the keypad.

---

Remove RF Devices

Menu path: 1 Service Menu → 2 Devices Menu → 1 RF Devices Menu → 3 Remove RF Devices

Then select:

• 1 Remove: RF Zone → select zone number
• 2 Remove: RF Keyfob → select keyfob number

Press YES to select the device for removal, then press YES again to confirm removal.

Range of Detection

Image Description

Four coverage diagrams: (1) Horizontal Coverage — fan-shaped top-down view with multiple detection beams (blue, red, green, magenta) extending to 14m at 2m intervals. (2) Horizontal Coverage (close-in detection) — smaller 2m × 4m close-range pattern. (3) Vertical Coverage — side view with beams from 2.4m mounting height angling to floor, reaching 14m. (4) Vertical Coverage (close-in detection) — side view within 1m–2m at 2.4m height.

Horizontal Coverage (top-down view):

• Main detection: fan-shaped pattern with multiple beams extending to 14m, with coverage zones at 2m, 4m, 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m, and 14m
• Close-in detection: concentrated coverage within 2m × 4m directly in front of the sensor

Vertical Coverage (side view, mounted at 2.4m):

• Main detection: beams angle downward from 2.4m mounting height to floor level, reaching out to 14m horizontally
• Close-in detection: short-range beams covering 1m–2m below the sensor

note

Mount the unit 2.4m from the ground.
