Interlogix AP950PI - Manual (Page 3)

Setting the sensitivity, mode, and LED
jumpers
The unit provides three jumpers to set sensitivity, mode, and
the LED. See Figure 3 on page 2.
Figure 7: Sensitivity
Standard Sensitivity (factory default) - Reduces
sensitivity and range for use with the pet immune mirror.
Range = 35 feet (10.7m). Both pins must be covered to place
the unit in Standard Sensitivity.
Increased Sensitivity - Increases sensitivity and range for
use with the standard mirror. Range = 50 feet (15.2m). Either
pin can be uncovered to place the unit in Increased
Sensitivity.
Figure 8: Mode
BI= Bi-Curtain Mode (factory default). Increases
false alarm immunity in smaller areas. Requires the intruder
to pass through two curtains to trigger an alarm. Do not use
for single curtain applications or ranges under 5 feet (1.5m).
Both pins must be covered to place the unit in Bi-Curtain
Mode.
STD= Standard Curtain Mode. Use for wide-angle or
single-curtain applications. Requires the intruder to only
pass through one curtain to trigger an alarm. Either pin can
be uncovered to place the unit in Standard Curtain Mode.
Note: Operation of the AP950PI in the Standard Curtain Mode
is UL 639 Listed for a range of 35 feet (10.7m) with both
mirrors in Standard Sensitivity, and for a range of 50 feet
(15.2m) with the standard mirror in Increased Sensitivity. For
operation in Bi-Curtain Mode, the unit is UL 639 Listed for 30
feet (9.1m) range only. For ranges from 30 to 50 feet (9.1 to
15.2m) with sensitivity set to Increased and Bi-Curtain mode,
the unit is not UL 639 Listed but will provide detection within 6
steps or 14 feet (4.3m) across the plane of coverage. UL has
not tested the 6 steps or 14 foot (4.3m) detection.
Figure 9: LED
To enable the LED (factory default), both pins
must be covered by the jumper.
To disable the LED, either pin can be uncovered.
Note: The LED only lights if an alarm occurs and the jumper is
covering both pins.
Pet immunity
When mounted properly, the unit provides false alarm
immunity to dogs and similar animals. The size and body
temperature of the animal, which depends on the length of the
animal's coat, affects the immunity to false alarms. Dogs vary
in body temperature by breed. A very warm-blooded dog with
short hair will not be as immune to false alarms as a similar
dog with long hair. Therefore, the acceptable short hair dog is
limited to a lighter weight dog. See the examples listed in the
following table:
Long hair (2”
long) up to 80
lbs. Medium hair
(1.5” long) up
to 50 lbs. Short hair (1”
long) up to 30
lbs. Not

Note: To reduce false alarms, keep animals off the furniture
and avoid aiming the unit at stairs.
Pet immunity not verified by UL.
Pet alley application
To create a detection-free area close to the floor, mount the
unit 3.5 feet (1.1m) above the floor, upside down (detector
window towards the ceiling). Use the standard mirror and set
the J2 jumper for Increased Sensitivity (both pins cannot be
covered). The cardboard undercrawl window mask should be
in place to reduce exposure to the ceiling.
As shown in Figure 10 on page 4, pets are free to roam below
the mounting height of the unit without causing alarms.
Note: Operation of the AP950PI in the Standard Curtain Mode
or in the Bi-Curtain Mode is UL 639 Listed for the pet alley
application at a mounting height of no more than 3.5 feet
(1.1m) with a range of 30 feet (9.1m). For ranges greater than
30 feet (9.1m) or mounting heights higher than 3.5 feet (1.1m),
the unit is not UL 639 Listed.
