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.

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).
