1. Introduction
The Rhino PIRW is a high quality infrared body movement sensor, which
is battery operated and communicates with a compatible Rhino receiver via
radio frequency (RF) transmission. This detector is easy to install, provides
excellent detection sensitivity and has a long battery life (approximately 3
years). This sensor can transmit four different codes to the receiver:
• Alarm – sent when a valid movement is detected
• Tamper – sent when the detector case is opened
• Supervision – sent every 2 ½ hours to the receiver
• Low Battery – sent when the batteries need replacing
1.1. Important notes
• NEVER touch the pyro sensor
• During the warm up period, (first 3 minutes after installing the
batteries) the detector will not respond to the tamper switch or
to movement in front of the detector. You must wait 3 minutes
before it will respond properly.
• This detector has Intelligent Power Saving (IPS). This means
that in normal operation the lights will not flash every time you
move in front of the detector. When the red light flashes on for
1 second, this means that the detector has picked up and
validated body movement (or an intruder) and an alarm code is
transmitted. The detector will now go into IPS mode for
approximately 3 minutes. During this time the detector will not
trigger and no lights will turn on (see section 4 for more
information).

2. Setup
2.1. Powering the detector
When you first remove the detector
from its original box it is not powered,
although the batteries are in place. To
make the detector active, slide the
piece of plastic from beneath one of the
battery terminals (in the direction
indicated in figure 1). As soon as the
plastic is removed the red and green
lights will flash for a few seconds.
If they do not flash, the plastic has not
been removed properly. You may
need to clean the battery terminal or
where the terminal meets the battery.
If all the plastic has been cleared and
the detector is still not responding
then remove the battery, which the
plastic was covering, then slide the
battery back into its original position.
If after this you still don’t have any
response from the detector then the
batteries may be flat, in which case
you may get new batteries from your
Rhino dealer. If the batteries are OK
and there is still no operation the
detector should be replaced. Contact

2.2. Warm up period
You must wait approximately 3 minutes for the
detector to warm up after connecting the batteries.
This time starts from when the detector starts
flashing both red and green lights after removing the
piece of plastic from under one of the battery
terminals. During this period the detector will not
respond and should be left untouched until the 3
minute period is up. 3 minutes after power up, the
green and red lights will flash together 6 times to
indicate the detector is exiting test mode. The
detector will now automatically enter Intelligent
Power Saving (IPS) mode (see section 4.2).

3. Installation
Firstly, the mounting bracket must be fixed to the
wall using the self-tapping screw and other
accessories supplied. Mounting must be at a
minimum height of 1.2 metres and maximum of
2.1 metres (preferred).
3.1. Tips for positioning
• This sensor utilises the very latest in detection
processing technology to reduce the possibility of
false alarms. However, correct mounting of the
detector is critical to ensure best detection or
"catch" performance. You cannot just screw the
sensor directly to a wall up high in a corner and
expect best performance. Thoroughly walk test
each sensor, and if detection is not acceptable in the
location you have chosen, adjust the angle of the
sensor slightly & re-test. You will find that a slight
up/down angle change may improve catch
performance significantly.
• Mount the detector on your wall using the swivel
mount provided at a minimum height of 1.2 metres and maximum of
2.1 metres (preferred). Make sure the detector is a minimum of 5
metres away from your receiver so it doesn’t swamp the receiver with a
signal that is too strong to decode.
• Always mount your PIRW so that an intruder has to walk across its
zones, i.e. walk past the detector, not towards it.
• DON’T mount detector facing glass doors or windows. Always mount
above windows and doors to look inside.
• DON’T mount detector facing hot areas or areas where the temperature
may change suddenly, e.g. open fire places, direct sunlight or air
conditioning vents.

• Select a location where the detector can provide the best detecting
range. Always ensure that you do not cover an area with multiple
detectors, so as to avoid simultaneous transmission back to the receiver
in your alarm control panel. The receiver can only decode one coded
signal at any given time.
• If the unit is mounted close to metal frames or doors, this may reduce
the radio transmitting range.
• The detector is not waterproof and is designed for indoor use only.
4. Testing & Operation
It is vital that the detector is tested carefully for each installation. Placing
the unit into test mode is the best way of checking the detector. At
25°Celsius, the detector should have a detection range of approximately 10
metres and a scope angle of 90°, i.e. 45° either side of the center position
straight ahead of the lens.
4.1. Test Mode
Test mode, as its name implies, is used for testing the detection range and
testing the radio transmission back to the receiver. To place the detector in
test mode do the following:
• Remove the front cover.
• The green and red lights will flash together, 6 times, to indicate that the
detector has entered test mode.
• Replace the front cover.
• The detector will stay in test mode for 3 minutes.
• The green and red lights will flash together, 6 times, to indicate that the
detector is exiting test mode.
During test mode the detector will flash the green light when you move
into an infrared beam zone or move out of the other side of that infrared
beam zone (see section 4.3 for more information on how the sensor detects
movement). Each time the green light flashes this is called a pulse.
If the detector is set to 2 pulse counts (most sensitive) then the red light
will flash if there are 2 green flashes within 10 seconds. If the detector is
set to 3 pulse counts (least sensitive) then the red light will flash if there are
3 green flashes within 10 seconds.

Tamper Switch
The red light turning on indicates that the detector has sensed valid
movement and that the alarm code signal has been sent to the receiver.
4.2. Intelligent Power Saving (IPS) & Normal Operation
This detector has Intelligent Power Saving (IPS). This means that in
normal operation or normal mode the red light will indicate valid
movement detection but the green light will not turn on at all. Lights will
not flash every time you move in front of the detector. When the red
light flashes on for 1 second, this means that the detector has picked up and
validated body movement (or an intruder). The detector will now go into
IPS mode for approximately 3 minutes. During this time the detector will
not trigger and no lights will turn on. After this 3 minutes of IPS the
detector will again be ready to sense for any movement in the room. If the
sensor detects another valid body movement anytime after the 3 minutes of
IPS then it will go back into IPS mode again for 3 minutes and so on. There
is no need for the detector to trigger more than once every 3 minutes as
your alarm system should be set to sound your siren for 5 minutes after
being triggered.
In summary, the detector will only trigger and flash the red light once
every 3 minutes in its normal operation to save battery life. The green
light will stay off.
4.3. Adjusting the Sensitivity
PULSE COUNT SELECT Jumper
ON Least sensitive – 3 pulse counts
OFF Most sensitive – 2 pulse counts
The sensitivity of the detector can be changed by either removing the
‘Pulse Count Select’ jumper or by placing it across both pins. When the
jumper is placed across both pins (default), then the detector is set to 3
pulse counts (least sensitive). When the jumper is removed or only attached
to 1 of the pins, then the detector is set to 2 pulse counts (most sensitive).
Once you have set the jumper, you must press the tamper
switch in for 1 second then release it for the setting to
become active. Now you can place the front cover back on
the detector.

4.4. Dual Edge Sensing (DES) technology ‘explained’
This detector has Dual
Edge Sensing (DES)
Technology, developed
to eliminate false alarms
yet still provide
maximum security.
The detector uses a
pattern of infrared beam
zones to sense body
movement. The pattern is
shown in figure 3 and
figure 4.
Each time you walk into
or out of an infrared
beam zone this will be
sensed and processed by
the DES technology built
into the detector. The red
trigger light will not turn
on until the detector has
made a valid movement
detection in normal
mode. This will only
happen if the detector is
not in Intelligent Power
Saving (IPS) mode.
Remember that the green
light does not operate in normal mode.
