Batteries

Battery type

CBR 2™ motion detector is designed to operate with 4 AA alkaline batteries. CBR 2™ motion detector can run without batteries only if attached to a CBL 2™.

Battery installation

Exit the EasyData application or RANGER program before changing batteries.

1.Holding the CBR 2™ motion detector upside down, use your thumb to slide the battery compartment cover toward the back of the CBR 2™ motion detector.

2.Position batteries according to the diagram on the inside of the CBR 2™ motion detector battery compartment.

3. Two batteries fit positive side up in the side marked +. Two batteries fit negative side up in the side marked -.

4.Slide the cover back on. CBR 2™ motion detector is ready to begin sampling.

CBR 2™ sonic motion detector low battery warnings

The CBR 2™ motion detector has two mechanisms to alert you that the batteries are low:

0The EasyData App displays a warning message on calculator screen while trying to collect data.

0The red light flashes intermittently while the CBR 2™ motion detector is collecting sample data.

You can check battery status using the RANGER program. From the Main Menu, select 5:Tools, then select 3:CBR Status. The battery status is checked and displayed on the first line of the screen.
