NEXT K9-
K9-85 PG2
PowerG, Wireless, PIR /Pet Tolerant Motion Detector

1. INTRODUCTION
The Next PG2 and Next K9-85 PG2 are 2-way, microprocessor-controlled, wireless digital PIR detectors.
The detectors features are as follows: A
• For use with all PowerMaster® control panels (version 10 and higher).
• Combined Fresnel and cylindrical optics, up to 15 meters (49 ft).
• The Next PG2 includes wall creep zone protection.
• In Next PG2 and Next K9-85 PG2, Target Specific Imaging™ (TSI) technology is used for distinction B
between human beings and pets weighing up to 38 kg (85lb).
• Includes a fully supervised PowerG transceiver.
• The advanced True Motion Recognition™ algorithm (patented) allows distinguishing between the true A. LED
motion of an intruder and any other disturbances which may cause false alarms. B. Lens
• Sophisticated frequency domain digital signal processing. Figure 1: External View
• Built-in link quality indicators; no need for the installer to physically approach the control panel thus making
installation faster and easier.
• No vertical adjustment is needed.
• Motion event counter determines whether 1 or 2 consecutive motion events will trigger an alarm.
• Automatic termination of walk-test after 15 minutes.
• Microprocessor-controlled temperature compensation.
• Sealed chamber protects the optical system.
• Front cover and back tamper switches, for improved tamper protection.
• White light protection.
• Notes: 1. The pet immunity feature was not evaluated by UL.
2. For CE installations, the pet immunity was not evaluated by DNV.
3. The pet immunity feature is not evaluated and certified by Applica Test & Certification AS.

9. Installed in accordance with UL 681, Standard for
Installations and Classifications of burglar and Holdup
Alarm Systems.

Figure 2. General Guidelines

Important! The Next K9-85 PG2 detector is tolerant to 38 kg (85 lb) animals moving on the floor or climbing on
furniture as long as the activity takes place below 1 m (3 ft). Above the 1 m (3 ft) height limit, the detector is tolerant
to 19 kg (42 lb) pets, but the pet immunity will decrease as the pet gets closer to the detector. It is therefore
recommended to select a mounting location that minimizes potential close proximity of animals.

WARNING! To comply with FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the PIR detector should be located at a distance of at least 20
cm from all persons during normal operation. The antennas used for this product must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter

2.2 Mounting (see Fig. 3)
Notes:
1. Mount the detector so that its orientation is perpendicular to the expected intrusion path.
2. For installations of detector at 2m high, Dead zone is 2ft at 0m high and 0.5ft at 1.5m high.

3. LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST
NOTE: Run a diagnostic test at least once a year to ensure that the detector is working correctly.
A. Separate the base from the cover (see Fig. 3).
B. Put back the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal (undisturbed) position, and then secure the front cover to the base with the
case closure screw.
C. The Next PG2 / Next K9-85 PG2 will enter a 2 min. stability period. During this time the red LED blinks.
D. Walk-test the coverage area - see Fig. 5. Walk across the far end of coverage pattern in both directions, The red LED lights each time
your motion is detected followed by 3 LED blinks.
The following table indicates received signal strength indication.
LED response Reception
Green LED blinks Strong
Orange LED blinks Good
Red LED blinks Poor
No blinks No communication
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured.
Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you
receive a "poor" signal from the detector, re-locate it and
re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is
received (in regions requiring UL-compliant installation, EVENT

only “strong” signal strength is permitted). LED

control panel Installer Guide.

2. For UL/CUL installations, the test result must be
“Strong”. A

4. SPECIAL COMMENTS
Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or may fail to warn due to: DC power failure / improper connection,
malicious masking of the lens, tampering with the optical system, decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures close to that of the human
body and unexpected failure of a component part.
The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to detect intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It is therefore
recommended that the detector and the entire alarm system be checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.
An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be prudent enough
to continue insuring their lives and property, even though they are protected by an alarm system.
