PIR Motion Sensor Installation

Step 7

Mount PIR Motion Sensor horizontally on solid surface 500 mm off the ground and within

400 m of Base Station (rotate sensor to access screw holes). Unit

should be able to swivel as needed. Attach sun/rain shield.

NOTE: Keep PIR Motion Sensor antenna away from metal objects. Do not mount PIR Motion Sensor in direct sunlight, near moving tree branches, or in the path of a sprinkler system.

Vehicle Alert Installation: For cars, the best mounting position is about 500 mm high, between

1-2 m back, and angled to see the back of car after passing the sensor.

1-2 m

Troubleshooting

The PIR Motion Sensor lights up, but the Base Station does not respond.

The PIR Motion Sensor must be programmed to Base Station (See Step 6).

Ensure Base Station is on and is not muted.

If the green power light is not lit or is flashing, press the Mute Button on the top of the Base Station to wake it up.

If the green power is illuminated, look at the two small white Base Station switches next to the Learn Button. The #1 Dip Switch should be down, towards the circuit board. If it is up, the Base Station has been muted. If the Base Station signals when you press the Learn Button, it is not muted.

The Alert is not getting expected transmission range.

Keep both antennas vertical and keep PIR Motion Sensor antenna away from trees and metal objects. Ensure Base Station is in clearest possible sight of the PIR Motion Sensor. The less objects between the devices, the longer the range.

PIR Motion Sensor is detecting motion only part of the time.

To detect cars, it is best to mount PIR Motion Sensor at height of car’s motor and have it between 1-2 m from the road. Swivel sensor as needed.

The Alert is giving false alarms.

Check for moving tree branches or insects in sensor window. PIR sensor can also be triggered by light shining directly in sensor window, such as reflected sunlight, or motion in front of a light source.

It is possible that condensation has built up on the sensor. Wipe condensation from PIR Motion Sensor with cotton swab. Let it sit inside for a few hours, open to the air, without the batteries and it should correct itself.

Check Sensor Switches on PIR Motion Sensor. See Switch Settings.

Base Station beeps every ten minutes.

The battery in the Base Station is low. Replace with 9-Volt battery.

Base Station is not very loud.

ACCESSORY

-

An accessory such as a bell, buzzer or light can be attached to the relay switch. The relay switch can handle up to 24 Vac at 10 amps. The accessory device will need a separate power supply.

The Base Station has a relay which can activate other devices such as a doorbell, buzzer or light. The relay switch can handle up to 24 Vac at 10 amps. The accessory device will need a separate power supply. The accessories can be purchased at any electronics store.
