Outdoor Motion Sensor
Mounting
1.Determine the desired mounting location for the sensor leaving at least four inches of room above the wall mount plate to attach the sensor.
2.Using the screws and anchors supplied, attach the wall mount plate with the opening for the swivel mount facing downward.
3.Attach the sensor assembly to the wall mount plate by screwing the sensor assembly up into the opening in the wall mount plate.
4.To remove the sensor for testing or battery replacement, slide the front cover of the sensor upward until the sensor can be removed.
Filter Installation
A one inch by one inch piece of lens material has been included with the outdoor motion sensor. The filter reduces the sensors sensitivity to white light sources (sunlight and head lights) and infrared sources. Install the filter when experiencing unwanted sensor activations due to these sources.
1.Remove the sensor from its water resistant enclosure by sliding the front cover upward until the sensor can be removed.
2.Remove the mounting plate of the sensor by depressing the button on top of the sensor.
3.Remove the front cover of the sensor by depressing the two tabs on the top and the one tab on the bottom of the sensor body and sliding the cover off (see Figure 8)
4.Place the sensor on its back and drop the filter into the lens chamber covering the sensor’s detector.
5.Replace the cover, making sure the filter remains in the lens chamber and does not interfere with the attachment of the cover.
6.Replace the sensor’s mounting plate and install the sensor in its water resistant enclosure.
Testing | Walk Testing |
Note
When the walk test mode has ended, an alarm can be transmitted only after 3 min- utes have passed since the previous alarm. This 3 minute lockout time reduces unnecessary RF transmis- sions in high traffic areas thereby extending battery life.
Walk testing should be done to determine the sensor’s actual coverage area. The edge of the cov- erage pattern is determined by the first flash of the LED. This may change slightly depending upon the sensitivity setting. Walk test the unit from both directions to determine the pattern boundaries.
1.Remove the sensor body from the mounted mounting plate, activate the tamper switch, and remount the body to activate the 60 second walk test mode.
2.Walk across the coverage pattern to determine the coverage area, indicated by LED activation. Each activation extends the walk test mode for an additional 60 seconds.
After 60 seconds without motion the walk test mode and the LED will no longer activate when motion is detected.
!Excessive use of the walk test mode may reduce battery life. Use only for initial setup and maintenance testing.
Caution
Environment Testing
| Indoor Motion Sensors | |
| Turn on all heating or air conditioning sources which would normally be active during the protec- | |
| tion period. Stand away from the sensor and outside the coverage pattern and watch for alarms. | |
| Outdoor Motion Sensors | |
| Verify that the sensor’s coverage area does not extend into undesired areas that might cause | |
| unwanted activations. These areas may include undesired human, pet, or automobile motion. | |

Coverage | After walk testing and environment testing are completed, masking labels can be applied to the | |
Masking | sensor’s lens to block detection of problem areas. The masking labels provided are cut to match | |
| the corresponding lens segments. | |
