Outdoor Installation Guidelines

Use the following guidelines for installing outdoor motion sensors.

•The outdoor motion sensor should be used for outdoor applications where there’s a tempera- ture range from 10° to 120° F (12° to 49° C).

•Do not use outdoor motion sensors for intrusion protection since any human, pet, or heated mechanical motion such as an automobile can activate the sensor.

•Follow the indoor motion sensor installation guidelines except for the last four items.

•Do not aim the sensor at objects that may be heated excessively by the sun, such as black top or dark colored objects.

•Do not aim the sensor at foliage or shrubbery which has a dark background.

•The housing is water-resistant but not water-proof. Mount the sensor underneath eaves or porch coverings to prevent over exposure to rain, ice, and direct sunlight.

•The sensor’s coverage area is shown in Figures 2 and 4.

Mounting

The sensor can be flush-mounted, incline-mounted, or corner-mounted depending on the lens used (see Figure 5). Also, the optional swivel mount (#60-737) can be used for difficult mounting locations.
