Installing the Motion Detector

•Attach the Motion Detector to a wall at a height of 5 to 6 ft. using the mounting bracket and screws provided.

•Point the Motion Detector so that it looks slightly downwards.

•Set the slide switch (on the back) to position 1 for instant triggering for maximum sensitivity or position 2 to trigger only after two movements have been sensed.

•Press and hold the TEST button for about a second (until the LED flashes twice) and then release it.

•Wait 20 seconds for the Motion Detector to settle.

•Walk in front of the Motion Detector. The indicator LED lights each time it senses movement. Check the coverage area and reposition the sensor as required.

Installation

Hard-Wired Inputs

You can also connect two hard-wired magnetic contact switches to the console.

These will be zones 31 and 32.

You can install a total of 30 additional zones, which can be a combination of Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors. So, for example, you could have 15 Door/Window Sensors, 15 Motion Detectors, and 2 hard-wired zones. The hard wired zones are treated as delayed zones (i.e. they have exit and entry delays if you arm the system in the Away mode).
