Step1. Rough vertical angle adjustment
Page 3/18
1. Measure the installation height.
2. Loosen the fixing screw by allen key.
3. Adjust the vertical position with “Angle Adjustment guide”
according to installation height.
Arrow of the main unit
Installation height at 2.3m(7.6ft.)
Installation height at 4m(13ft.)
If the height is between 2.3m
and 4m, set in the middle.

If the mounting wall is at an angle,
this guide might not apply. In such
case, adjust carefully with walk test.

1. Loosen the side adjustment screw
by Allen key. (Loosen the screw on
the opposite side to where its to be
aimed)
2. Rotate the main unit horizontally
to desired area.
3. Tighten the adjustment screw
slightly.
Remove the cover before
mounting the AVF-1 View Finder
1. Loosen two securing screws.
2. Hold the head of the both screw
with your hand and pull them out.
3. Slide the cover downward and
release the hooks.

Step2. Rough horizontal angle adjustment
Step3. Mounting the AVF-1 (initial)
Page 5/18
1. Put the red string attached to the
View Finder around the main unit so
that it does not accidently fall.
*One of two holes is notched
to accept correct arm of
AVF-1. It will not mount to the
SIP incorrectly, otherwise.
2. Insert and mount AVF-1
to the main unit.
3. Peel off the protection seals
from both sides of the area plate. 4. Insert the area plate into the slot of
View Finder so that the arrow points up.
5. Look through the inspection
window of AVF-1 View Finder.
6. Make sure that center circle of
the area plate comes inside
center circle of the lens and the
detection area..
Mounting the AVF-1 (initial)
Confirm the proper
plate is used.
For convenience, the AVF-1 unit
can be rotated.

Step4. Checking the edge of the far area
Step5. Fine angle adjustment
3. Measure the detection distance toward the point.
Adjust the vertical and horizontal angle of the main unit to get the
position that the person is located in the most far detection area.
4. Make a person
stand at the point.
Actual site view View through the AVF-1
1. Adjust the horizontal angle of the main unit in order to effectively cover
the area required to protect, and avoid possible areas of false alarms.
2. Check the center of the farthest detection area.
Rating distance
e.g. SIP-3020 = 30m (100ft.)

Change all sensitivity switch to ”SH”,
and confirm if the position of logic
selector is “OR”.
Step7. Preparation for walk test
2. Confirm that CONNECTION SELECT
SWITCH is at REDWALL-V.
3. MODE SELECT SWITCH is used for
Far, Near and Creep zone detection. 3

Step6. Setting the AWT-3
1. Remove the AVF-1 from the unit, and then
put the plug of AWT-3 into the unit.

Step9. Walk test
1. Conduct walk test to confirm the recent position of the person is
actually in the most far detection area or re-adjust the unit to the area.
Check “FAR”area. Check “NEAR”area. Check “CREEP”zone.
Step8. Confirming the condition in the detection area
2. Check to ensure the tone is
constant (that there is no one in the
detection area).
If not, there might be an object that
could be the cause of a false alarm.
Remove the object or mask it later.
1. Slide POWER SELECT SWITCH to
“POWER SUPPLY FROM SENSOR”
*No detection: low tone
*Detection: High tone
Check “FAR”area
2. Confirm the detection area is set properly, and check ”FAR”area
and “NEAR” area independently.

Step12. Recording the obstacle’s location
Confirm the location of obstacle
and record the mirror segment that
should be masked.
Example:
Obstacle (large plant) is in
segment F6, 1and 2, so the
mirror F6, 1 and 2 should be
masked. Record F6, 1 and 2
for masking.
Step11. Mounting the AVF-1 (for false-alarm avoidance)
AVF-1
AWT-3
Remove the AWT-3 from the unit, and then put the AVF-1 on the
unit again.
Conduct walk test to confirm the location of obstacles and that
there are road, trees, bushes, compressor of air-conditioner which
may cause false alarms.
Step10. Walk test to confirm the obstacle’s location
Page 10/18
Step14. Masking the optics
Because of mirroring effects, the position of the mirror you mask
should be different from that of the detection segment of AVF-1. (What
is seen on the left is physically on the right-side of the mirror. For
example, in Step12, segment F6 should be masked like below.)
1. Remove the AVF-1.
2. Remove the lens window.
(Press the left bottom hole
with your finger, and pull
the window up.)
