ENHANCED BIRD/ANIMAL
IMMUNITY CONTROL SWITCH
A two-position switch adjusts the sensor’s
immunity to birds and small animals. Note: e
PIRAMID XL2 sensor is shipped from PROTECH
in the Standard Immunity Setting.
Standard Immunity Setting - Offers excellent
immunity with respect to birds and small animals
and is the best setting in most applications. e
PIRAMID XL2 sensor will provide good nuisance
VERY IMPORTANT:
e most critical adjustment for false alarm
rejection is the SENSITIVITY CONTROL.
Settings of 1, 2, 3 and 4 are best.

e PIRAMID XL2 provides good detection in
all ten sensitivity settings with respect to movement
toward or away from the sensor. Keep in mind that
in the lower sensitivity settings (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)
transverse detection (“crosscatch”) is very sluggish.
erefore, it is important for the sensor to be located
so that the most likely point of travel is slightly
toward or slightly away from the sensor.
Proper mounting location of the PIRAMID
XL2 will enable lower sensitivity settings. Lower
sensitivity settings will enhance false-alarm-free
performance.
Note: Each sensor should be periodically
walk-tested to ensure that the required detection
is attained.

WALK-TEST PROCEDURE
FOR ANALYTIC WALK TEST LED’s
1. Remain motionless outside the protection area
until both Green LED’s are on steadily.
2. Walk into the surveillance area while observing
all LED’s.
3. Both Green LED’s turn off (responding to
motion and changes in infrared radiation)
followed by the Microwave Yellow LED and the
Passive Infrared Red LED turning on.
4. Master Alarm Red LED in the center of
the sensor faceplate turns on when both the
Microwave Yellow LED and Passive Infrared Red
LED are on simultaneously.

alarm rejection as well as good detection sensitivity
in the Standard Immunity Setting.
Enhanced Immunity Setting - Often used as
a last resort to eliminate nuisance alarms caused by
an abundance of birds and animals in the protected
area. e use of a Pet Alley Lens Module (Lens
A-Pet, Lens B-Pet and Lens C-Pet) in conjunction
with the Enhanced Immunity Setting would also be
highly recommended in animal prone applications.
In the Enhanced Immunity Setting, overall detection
sensitivity of the PIRAMID XL2 sensor will be
reduced approximately 20%.
Caution: In the Enhanced Immunity Setting the
speed of detection is significantly reduced. erefore,
the PIRAMID XL2 may not detect an intruder or a
vehicle traveling at a rate of speed above 3
