Chamberlain PIRV400R User Manual

Overview

The PIR Motion Sensor only works with
Chamberlain's Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert
with Voice (Model RWV400R) and Office Alert
(Model CWV1000). The PIR Motion Sensor can be
used to monitor motion up to 30' away and can
transmit a signal up to 1000' away from the Base
Station (not included). The Passive Infra-Red sensor
detects movement of people and vehicles, while
allowing small animals to pass through undetected.
The PIR Motion Sensor has a built-in microphone and
speaker that allows for communication between the
Base Station and the Sensor. When the PIR Motion
Sensor detects movement a signal is sent to the base
station which alerts the homeowner with sounds and
lights. The Alert can also remotely control a low
voltage electrical device near the PIR Motion Sensor
like a light or a camera (See Advanced Features).

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution, outputs are suitable ONLY for controlling low
voltage devices, 24V max, ac or dc.

Intercom Feature: When PIR Motion Sensor has
detected motion, the Base Station will allow you to
listen through the PIR Motion Sensor for 10 seconds.
If you wish to talk to the person on the other end,
hold down the Talk button and speak, releasing it to
hear.

Volume: Pressing the Volume button repeatedly will
cycle through volume levels.

Mute: To temporarily mute Base Station, hold the
Volume and Talk buttons down for three seconds.
The Base Station will reactivate after one hour, or by
pressing the Talk button.

Battery: The AA Alkaline batteries (not provided) will
last up to 2 years depending on use (Lithium batteries
recommended for colder environments). If PIR Motion
Sensor batteries are low Base Station will emit three
high-pitch beeps every ten minutes. If Base Station
batteries are low it will emit two high-pitch beeps.

Clear Memory: Press and hold the Learn button on
the Base Station until 3 beeps are heard. If the PIR
Motion Sensor signals while Learn button is pressed,
repeat the procedure.

Programming Additional PIR Motion Sensors:

Each Base Station can learn the code of up to 8 PIR
Motion Sensors, responding with multiple buzzes. To
program additional PIR Motion Sensors see Step 6.

Step 7

A Ensure that Base

Station and PIR
Motion Sensor are in
close proximity to
each other. Press and
release learn button
on Base Station.
Buzzer will sound.

Mount PIR Motion
Sensor vertically on
solid surface a few feet
off the ground and
within 1000' of Base
Station. Unit should be
able to swivel as
needed.

Step 5

OPTIONAL

Ensure Base Station (not
provided) has power.

NOTE:

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' high, between 10-20'
back, and angled to see the back of car after passing
the sensor.
