Walk-test the sensor.
· Apply power to the unit.
· Initialization and mask detection are complete
when the LED stops flashing.
· Adjust the microwave range to minimum setting by
turning the range adjustment counterclockwise
using a small screwdriver.
· Replace the front housing.
· Begin walking through the detection area.
- The LED will turn red, indicating an alarm
detection.
· Increase the microwave range as necessary.
· Repeat the items in step 5a until proper detection
range is obtained.
