Installing the Motion Detectors
•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.

Arming the system
Press ARM HOME on the Console to arm ALL Door/Window Sensors instantly. Motion Detectors will not trip the system when it is armed in the ARM HOME mode.
Press ARM AWAY on the Console to arm all Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors. This arms the system after a set delay. The delay will be what you specified as the EXIT DELAY
-one minute default (see owner’s manual). If you arm the system in the AWAY mode you will also have an entry delay when you enter your home before the alarm trips (from Door/Window Sensors set to MAX, and from Motion Detectors), to give you time to disarm it. This delay will be what you specified for your ENTRY DELAY - 30 second default (see owner’s manual for more details).
