Setting Up the Receiver:
1. Plug the AC adapter into any standard
electrical wall outlet and the other end into
the back of the receiver. The green
POWER light will blink on for a second and
the receiver will chirp. The green light will
go out for 5 seconds - then come back on
ready for normal operation.w
2. Motion Alert comes with a 9-inch antenna
which plugs into the antenna jack on the
back of the receiver. The antenna should
be vertical.
Testing the System Prior to Installation
1. The sensor and receiver are factory set to a unique code. Before installing the sensor outside, test the unit by rotating the sensor more than 5 feet
away from the receiver. The receiver will chime twice and the red ALERT
light will flash until you push the ALERT light.
If the receiver does not chime or the red ALERT light does not come on,
first check that the green POWER light on the receiver is on and that the
battery are inserted correctly in the sensor. If the receiver still does not
respond, see the Sensor Learning section under Troubleshooting.
Mounting the Sensor:
Attach the sensor to whatever object you want to

sensor any which way will trigger the unit. Moving any large metal object
next to the sensor will also trigger the unit. Rotating motors in close proximity will also trigger the sensor.
The receiver chimes and the red ALERT light flashes when the sensor is
triggered. The red ALERT light continues to flash until the red ALERT light
is pressed. You can stop the red ALERT light from blinking by pressing the
flashing red ALERT light. However, the receiver will chime each time the
sensor is moved, even if the system is not reset each time.
The range of the Motion Alert system varies. Line-of-sight, the Motion
Alert sensor should work up to 500 feet away from the receiver when
mounted in a typical environment around a home. The system will work
up to 1,000 ft away when placed 5 ft or higher off the ground and within
line-of-sight of the receiver. If you do not have enough range - see the
section on Insufficient Range on page 4.
Changing the Sound:
The sensor comes factory set to the "doorbell" mode. This setting is designed for swinging door type applications. The receiver will emit a "dingdong" chime sound each time that the sensor is moved.
Trouble Shooting
1. False Activations or Not Activating When It Should:
If you get false activations or if your motion sensor sometimes does not
activate, you can change the motion sensor's sensitivity level. If you get
false activations when the motion sensor has not been moved, you may
want to change the sensitivity setting to the Low Sensitivity Alarm mode. If
on the other hand, your unit sometimes does not activate, change the sensitivity level to the High Sensitivity Alarm mode.
Movements of large metal objects near the motion sensor will often cause
false activations. To avoid this problem, change the sensor's sensitivity
level to the lower setting.
The other setting is the "Alarm" mode. The receiver will emit a warble
sound every time that the sensor is moved. The receiver will emit this
sound once very 5 seconds for 25 minutes or until the ALERT light is
pressed.
The Alarm mode has a low and high sensitivity setting. The Low Sensitivity Alarm mode requires more movement of the sensor than the High
Sensitivity Alarm mode to activate.
You will need to experiment with
your application to see which
setting is best for you. Open the
motion sensor case and use the
adjacent diagram to adjust the
setting.
Note: The Motion Alert's Battery Life is affected by these settings:
Low Sensitivity Alarm mode = 2 years battery life
Doorbell Chime mode = 1½ years battery life
High Sensitivity Alarm mode = 1 year battery life

A weak battery may also cause false activations or missed detections.
The lithium battery in the Motion Alert sensor must be replaced every 1 to
2 years, depending on the sensitivity setting.
2. Insufficient Range:
If your Motion Alert system works when the motion sensor is close to the
receiver but not when the motion sensor is far away, the following adjustments may improve the range of the system:
Move the receiver to a room closer to your motion sensor. If the motion

sensor is located outside, place the receiver on a window sill that faces
the monitored object or on a table close to the window so that the monitored object is visible from the receiver antenna.
Move the receiver farther away from computers, CD players, and cordless
•
phones. These items may interfere with the operation of your Motion
Alert system if you place the receiver too close to them.
Moving the antenna 45° to the left or right of vertical will sometimes im-

prove the range of the system.
An optional long-range antenna is available (see Optional Accessories

Section), which gives the system up to double the regular range.

3. Green Light Blinks Continuously:
If the green light blinks continuously, the system is in sensor learning mode.
Simply push the ALERT light. It will now be in normal operation mode.

4. Sensor Learning (do only if receiver does not respond to the
sensor):
There are two ways to teach new sensors to the receiver. The first adds
new sensors to the receiver. Existing sensors will still work with the receiver. The second procedure erases all learned transmitters and allows
the user to re-teach new sensors to the receiver.
Adding New Sensors - without erasing the original sensors:
1. Unplug the power supply of the receiver.
2. Wait five seconds and then plug it in again.
3. Wait until the receiver has finished beeping during its powering up
sequence - and the green light goes out for a few seconds While
the green light is still out promptly press and hold the ALERT light.
You should hear a few short beeps. Release the light.
4. The green power light should flash indicating the receiver is in code
learning mode. You have sixty seconds to learn the code of the new
sensor.
5. Activate the new sensor by rotating the sensor until you hear a war-
bling chirp. (If you hear three separate chirps, like a small bird, the
receiver already has that sensor learned in memory.
6. When all sensors have been learned, press the ALERT light briefly
(you should hear several short beeps) and the receiver resumes
normal operation or simply wait an additional 60 seconds and the
receiver automatically exits the programming mode.
Clearing the Receivers Memory and Re-learning All Sensors
1. Unplug the power supply of the receiver.
2. Wait five seconds and then plug it in again.
3. Wait until the receiver has finished beeping during its powering up
sequence - and the green light goes out for a few seconds While
the green light is still out promptly hold down the ALERT light for
about 5 seconds until you hear a steady tone. (When you release
the ALERT light you will hear five more beeps to indicating that the
memory is now empty).
4. The green power light will start to flash indicating the receiver is in
code learning mode. You now have sixty seconds to learn the code
of the new sensor.
5. Activate the new sensor by rotating the sensor until you hear a war-
bling chirp.
6. When all sensors have been learned, press the ALERT light briefly
(you will hear several short beeps) and the receiver will resume
normal operation or simply wait an additional 60 seconds and the
receiver will automatically exit the programming mode.
5. Sound Notification for Two or More Sensors:
For each additional sensor learned, the receiver sounds two or more extra
beeps when these sensors are triggered. These additional beeps indicate
the order in which the sensor was learned. The original sensor beeps the
one alarm or chime sound when triggered. The second learned sensor
gives two extra beeps before the chime or alarm sound, the third sensor
learned gives three extra beeps, etc . . .
6. Temporarily Silencing the Receiver
Sometimes you may wish to silence the receiver for several hours as you
work on the object that is being monitored. To silence the receiver for up to
ten hours:
1. Press and hold the ALERT light until you hear a steady tone.
2. The silenced, “sleep” state is indicated by alternating short blinks of
the red and green lights for ten hours or until reset.
3. To resume normal operation, press the ALERT light again briefly.
NOTE: A power failure will cancel the sleep mode.
7. Adjusting the Volume
The receiver has two volume settings for the notification beep. The receiver is factory set to the highest setting. To lower the volume setting:
1. Unplug the power supply and antenna from the receiver.
2. Use a small screwdriver and carefully pry open the receiver case
(often carefully prying the case open at the antenna jack area works
best).
3. When the top of the case is removed, you will notice a small slide
switch between the antenna jack and the power jack.
4. Slide the switch towards the power jack to increase the volume.
5. Slide the switch towards the antenna jack to decrease the volume.
6. Snap the case back together.
7. Plug in the power supply and antenna.
