WIRELESS MOTION ALERT

Overview

The Wireless Motion Alert uses a Passive Infra-Red (PIR) Motion Sensor to detect movement of people and vehicles, while allowing small animals to pass through undetected. The Base Station is powered by the AC adapter and the 4 AA batteries supply power in case of a power outage.

NOTE: The Base Station is intended for indoor use only.

On/Off Button

Volume

On/Off: To turn the Base Station on and off, hold down the power button until you hear the on/off tone.

Volume: The Base Station is equipped with adjustable volume controls. The lowest volume setting is the mute feature.

Batteries: If the AC adapter is not connected, the AA batteries in the Base Station should last up to one week. If the Base Station batteries are low, the Base Station will beep every 30 minutes. The AA batteries in the PIR Motion Sensor will last up to 2 years depending on use (lithium batteries are recommended for colder environments). If the PIR Motion Sensor batteries are low, the Base Station will beep every 30 minutes until the batteries are replaced. The PIR Motion Sensor will continue to operate with a low battery, however the light will not illuminate. For peak performance, inspect batteries annually and replace as needed.

Programming Additional PIR Motion Sensors: The Base Station can learn the code of up to 7 additional PIR Motion Sensors, responding with unique buzzes. To program additional PIR Motion Sensors see Step 4. To order additional PIR Motion Sensors call 1-800-528-9131.

Clear Memory: Press and hold the Learn Button on the Base Station until 3 beeps are heard.

Assembly & Programming

Attach PIR Motion Sensor box to mounting plate with large silver screw. Tighten screw until PIR Motion Sensor stays in place when repositioned.

Install 4 AA Alkaline batteries. (Lithium batteries recommended for colder environments.) LED light will ﬂ ash.

the PIR Motion Sensor. LED light will illuminate and Base Station will buzz.

Insert battery pack facing away

from circuit board and fasten cover with the smallest screws (provided).

NOTE: Ensure the batteries do not touch the circuit board and the antenna and battery wires are not pinched.

Test PIR Motion Sensor by

waving hand in front of sensor. LED light should ﬂ ash and the Base Station will buzz X number of times indicating which sensor has been activated.

PIR MOTION SENSOR INSTALLATION

Mount PIR Motion Sensor horizontally on solid surface 3-5 feet (1-1.5 m) off the ground and within 1/2 mile (0.8 km) of Base Station (rotate sensor to access screw holes). Unit should be able to swivel as needed. Attach sun/rain shield.

NOTE: Keep PIR Motion Sensor antenna away from metal objects. Do not mount PIR Motion Sensor in direct sunlight, near moving tree branches, or in the path of a sprinkler system.

Vehicle Alert Installation: For cars, the best mounting position is about 4 feet (1.2 m) high, between 10-20 feet (3-6 m) back, and angled to see the back of car after passing the sensor.
