Honeywell DT8050 DUAL TEC Motion Detector 50 Foot User Manual

1. Producte acabatview

The Honeywell DT8050 DUAL TEC Motion Detector is an advanced security sensor designed to provide reliable intrusion detection with a maximum range of 50 feet. This device utilizes a combination of Passive Infrared (PIR) and microwave technologies to minimize false alarms, making it suitable for various environments, including those with potential temperature fluctuations or challenging conditions.

Figure 1: Honeywell DT8050 DUAL TEC Motion Detector. This image shows the front view of the white motion detector unit.

Its DUAL TEC technology requires both PIR and microwave sensors to be triggered simultaneously to generate an alarm, significantly reducing false activations caused by environmental factors or small animals. The DT8050 is designed for corded electric power and wall-mount installation, integrating seamlessly into existing security systems, smart home hubs, and lighting control setups.

2. Informació de seguretat

• Seguretat elèctrica: Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with all local electrical codes. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring.
• Muntatge: Mount the detector securely to prevent accidental dislodgement. Do not install in locations prone to excessive vibration.
• Condicions ambientals: Avoid installing the detector in direct sunlight, near heat sources (e.g., heaters, vents), or in areas with rapid temperature changes, as these can affect performance.
• Interferència: Keep the detector away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) that could disrupt its operation.
• Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols directly on the device.

4. Instal·lació i configuració

4.1. Triar una ubicació de muntatge

Select a wall-mount location that provides optimal coverage for the desired area, typically in a corner or on a flat wall. Consider the following:

• Àrea de cobertura: The DT8050 has a maximum range of 50 feet. Position it to cover the primary entry points and pathways within the protected zone.
• Alçada: Mount the detector at the recommended height (refer to specific diagrams in the full manual, typically 7-8 feet from the floor) for optimal detection patterns.
• Factors ambientals: Avoid aiming the detector directly at windows, heating/cooling vents, or areas where pets or other sources of heat/motion might cause false alarms. The DUAL TEC technology helps mitigate these, but proper placement is still crucial.
• Accés al cablejat: Ensure easy access for running the corded electric power and signal wires.

4.2. Muntatge del detector

1. Carefully open the detector casing.
2. Mark the desired mounting holes on the wall using the detector's base as a template.
3. Si cal, perforeu forats pilot i inseriu ancoratges de paret.
4. Secure the detector base to the wall using the provided screws.

4.3. Cablatge

The DT8050 is a corded electric device. Connect the power and alarm signal wires to the appropriate terminals within the detector and to your security control panel. Refer to your security system's manual for specific wiring diagrams and terminal designations.

• Ensure all power is OFF before making any wiring connections.
• Connect power wires (typically 12V DC) to the designated power terminals.
• Connect alarm output wires to the appropriate zone input on your control panel.
• Connecta tamper switch wires (if applicable) to the tamper input on your control panel.

4.4. Initial Power-Up and Walk Test

1. After all wiring is complete and the casing is closed, restore power to the security system.
2. Allow the detector a few minutes to stabilize (warm-up period).
3. Perform a walk test: Walk through the protected area, observing the detector's LED indicator (if present) to confirm detection. Ensure all areas requiring coverage trigger the detector.
4. Adjust the detector's position or sensitivity settings (if available) as needed to optimize coverage and prevent false alarms.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The Honeywell DT8050 operates automatically once installed and powered. It continuously monitors the protected area using its DUAL TEC technology.

• Dual Technology Detection: The detector combines Passive Infrared (PIR) and microwave detection. For an alarm to be triggered, both technologies must detect motion simultaneously. This significantly enhances reliability and reduces the likelihood of false alarms compared to single-technology detectors.
• Sortida d'alarma: When an intrusion is detected, the DT8050 sends an alarm signal to the connected security control panel. The control panel then processes this signal according to its programming (e.g., activating an siren, sending notifications).
• Indicador LED: A built-in LED (if present) typically illuminates during detection or during the walk test mode, providing visual confirmation of operation. Refer to the full technical manual for specific LED behavior.

No user interaction is typically required for the day-to-day operation of the motion detector itself, beyond ensuring it remains unobstructed and powered.

6. Manteniment

The DT8050 is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular checks and cleaning will help ensure optimal performance.

• Neteja: Periodically clean the detector's lens and casing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray liquids directly onto the unit, as this can damage the sensors or internal components.
• Comprovació d'obstruccions: Ensure that no objects (e.g., furniture, decorations, plants) are obstructing the detector's field of view.
• Font d'alimentació: Verify that the detector is continuously receiving power from the security system.
• Walk Test (Annual): It is recommended to perform an annual walk test to confirm the detector is still functioning correctly and covering the intended area.

This device does not use batteries, so no battery replacement is required.
