PIR 3 in 1 Sensor ( Z-wave )

A motion sensor (PIR) is a passive infrared detector or physical sensor. This sensor doesn’t emit any energy but only passively receives and detects infrared radiation from outside. At room temperature, all items have radiation. Human beings are warm-blooded animals with stable infrared radiation, so they are most easily detected. That’s why we also call it a body sensor. PIR sends messages via the Z-Wave network to the Z-Wave gateway.

In the Z-Wave network, PIR can be connected to any Z-Wave gateway. In different countries or areas, the radio frequency is different. In the communication between PIR and the Z-Wave gateway, PIR can only send messages, and will not be able to receive messages.

When PIR is triggered, PIR will send messages to the Z-Wave gateway, and associate devices to work through the Z-Wave gateway. PIR is battery-powered, small, and can be easily installed.

Technical Information

Passive IR sensor used to detect live moving objects. When the sensor is triggered, the LED light will flash in the detection area. When there is movement in the detection area, the PIR sensor will send alarm messages. Easily installed with screws or stickers on the wall or table. Compatible with any Z-Wave main controller. Detect temperature changes uploaded to the Z-Wave gateway.

Tips:

1. Make sure PIR is placed within the Z-Wave network range of the gateway. 2. PIR is recommended to be fixed at a height of 2- 4 meters off the ground. 3. When installing PIR, please keep it far away from places where air temperature changes sensitively, e.g., around air conditioners, refrigerators, stoves, and so on. 4. Furniture, large bonsai, or other spacers shouldn’t be placed within PIR’s detection area. 5. When installing PIR, please keep it away from stairs, elevators, and other obstructions. Make sure these obstructions are outside of PIR’s detection area. 6. After installing PIR, please test whether PIR works properly or not, if there is a false alarm from PIR, please install PIR in another place. 7. Direct association can be allowed between PIR and other Z-Wave network devices if preset association functionality. Z-Wave gateway will not take part in such communication. Using this mechanism, PIR can communicate with other devices even when the gateway is damaged.

Battery Usage Tips

The battery life of the motion sensor is approximately 1 year. The power level of the battery would be displayed in the gateway.

A red icon means the battery needs replacing, and then the mobile app would receive a message “power level is low, please remember to replace battery” from the gateway.

To avoid false alarms, before replacing the battery, please disconnect the association of the motion sensor with other devices.

Note: PIR motion sensor is powered by a battery, and please correctly use the battery to avoid exploding. When handling the battery, refer to environmental law, please.

Detection Range

PIR has to be installed in a corner of a room or perpendicularly to the door. The actual detection range of this sensor can be influenced by environmental conditions. If there are false alarms reported, check if there are any moving objects within the sensor‘s detection area, such as trees blowing in the wind, cars passing by, or windmills.

False motion alarms may be caused by masses of moving air and heat as well. If the sensor keeps on reporting false alarms, despite eliminating all of the factors which were mentioned above, then install a sensor in another place. The detection range of PIR is shown in the following picture :

Working Conditions

If someone is moving within the detection area, then the alarm would be triggered, and LED lights would flash in the inductive area at the same time. The work schematic diagram of PIR is shown in the following picture :

Advanced Configuration

The following information is for someone that has some experience in setting up a Z-Wave system or someone that has computer software running a Z-Wave controller or Gateway.

1. SENSITIVITY LEVEL SETTING
This parameter defines the sensitivity of the PIR sensor. It’s recommended to test the sensor with movements from the farthest end of the coverage area the first time of use. If movements cannot be detected sensitively, simply adjust the sensitivity level with this parameter. This parameter can be configured with the value of 8 through 255, where 8 means high sensitivity and 255 means low sensitivity.

Function:
Sensitivity Level Setting
Parameter size: 1 byte
Parameter number: 1
Available settings: 8 ~ 255 Default settings: 12

2. ON / OFF DURATION
This parameter determines how long the associated devices should have ON status. For instance, if this parameter is set to 30 (sec), the PIR sensor will send a BASIC_SET command to the associated device with the value BASIC_SET level if the PIR sensor is triggered and the associated device will be turned for 30 seconds before it’s turned off. This parameter value must be large as Parameter #. If the user sets this parameter to default by Configure CC, the parameter # will be set to the default value.

Function:
ON / OFF duration setting
Parameter size: 2 byte
Parameter number: 2
Available settings: 5~600 (seconds)Default setting: 30

3. BASIC SET LEVEL
BASIC_SET command will be sent when the PIR sensor is triggered. The receiver will consider it; for instance, if a lamp module is receiving the BASIC_SET command of which value is decisive as to how bright or dim the level of the lamp module shall be.

Function:
Basic Set Level
Parameter size: 1 byte
Parameter number: 2
Available settings: 0,1 ~ 99 or 255 0 - OFF, Alarm canceling or turning the device off 1 ~ 99 or 255 - ON (Binary Switch Device) Dim level (Multilevel Switch Device)

Parameter number: 4
Available settings: 0 (disable) or 255 (enable)Default setting: 255

5. AMBIENT ILLUMINATION LUX LEVEL
This parameter can set the Lux value which determines when the light sensor is activated. If the ambient illumination level falls below this value and a person moves across or within the detection area, the PIR sensor will send Z-Wave ON command (i.e. BASIC_set (value = parameter 3) to an associated device and activate it.

Function:
Lux Level Set

Available settings: 1~8 (s)Default setting: 8

7. LIGHT SENSOR POLLING INTERVAL
This parameter can set the light sensor to measure ambient illumination level interval time. NOTE: This value must be less than Wakeup Interval Time!

Function:
Light Sensor Polling Interval
Parameter size: 2 byte
Parameter number: 7
Available settings: 60~3600 (seconds)Default setting: 180 (s)

8. LUX LEVEL FUNCTION ENABLE
If this parameter is set to “1” and when the Lux level is less than the value defined by parameter #5, the PIR sensor will send a BASIC_SET command frame (i.e. BASIC_SET (value = parameter 3) to an associated device and activate it. If the Lux level is greater than the value defined by parameter #5, the PIR sensor will not send the BASIC_SET command frame.

Function:

Multilevel Sensor
PIR Motion Sensor supports ambient luminance measurement, the scale is LUX. And the default Multilevel sensor is luminance too. The settings of luminance sensor measurement are listed under “Advanced Configuration”

Wake up Command Class
The majority of the time, the sensor is in sleep status to conserve battery life. The minimum wake-up interval is 300s. The maximum wake-for-up interval is 16,777,200s (about 194 days)
The allowable interval for each wake-up interval is 60 seconds, such as 360, 420, 480... NOTE: The default value is 12 hours. The value is longer, the battery life is greater.

Battery Check Command
The users can also enquire about the battery status of the motion sensor by sending the BATTERY_GET command. Once the sensor receives the command, it will return the BATTERY_RE-PORT command. The motion sensor will send BATTERY_LEV-EL = 0xFF command to the Z-Wave controller to inform that the motion sensor is in dead battery status, otherwise, the BATTERY_LEVEL value range is 0% to 100%.
