INSTALLATION
DEVICE MOUNTINg ORIENTaTION
It is highly recommended that the PIRVOLVR be
installed in the horizontal position. See Figure 5.
TERMINaTION BOxES (pIRTB)
The PIRVOLVR is designed to be threaded into a
termination box, which is then mounted to a solid,
vibration-free wall or post.
Det-Tronics offers the PIRTB termination box in two styles
for use specifically with the PIRVOLVR:
• Tall Cover Model includes a window. See Figure 6.
• Short Cover Model uses solid cover. See Figure 7. This
model can also be used for detector separation.
The PIRTB terminals are UL/CSA rated for 14 to 22 AWG
wire, and DIN/VDE rated for 2.5 mm
2
wire.
gENERaL WIRINg REqUIREMENTS
NOTE
The wiring procedures in this manual are
intended to ensure proper functioning of the
device under normal conditions. However,
because of the many variations in wiring
codes and regulations, total compliance to
these ordinances cannot be guaranteed. Be
certain that all wiring complies with applicable
regulations relating to the installation of
electrical equipment in a hazardous area. If in
doubt, consult the authority having jurisdiction
before wiring the system.
The use of shielded cable in conduit or shielded armored
cable is recommended for optimum RFI/EMI protection.
In applications where the wiring cable is installed in
conduit, the conduit must not be used for wiring to
other electrical equipment. To assure proper operation,
the resistance of the connecting wire must be within
the specified limits. The maximum distance between
the PIRVOLVR and power source is determined by the
power supply capability and wire size. See Figure 2
to determine the proper wire size and maximum wiring
distance allowed.
It is important that moisture not be allowed to come in
contact with the electrical connections of the system.
The use of proper piping techniques, breathers, glands,
and seals are required to prevent water ingress and/or
maintain the explosion-proof rating.
