FCI Semiconductor TL494
The wireless intelligent curtain infrared detector uses advanced signal analysis to provide high detection accuracy and anti‑false‑alarm performance. When a person moves within the detection area, the sensor triggers an alarm signal to the control host. It is suitable for homes, villas, factories, malls, warehouses, and offices.
The manual describes technical specifications, installation conditions, step‑by‑step mounting instructions, jumper settings for alarm delay and LED indicators, and safety precautions. It also includes a detection range diagram and guidance for periodic walk‑through testing. This manual is written in Chinese.
