Motorola HMSM4050 QUICK START GUIDE

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola Wireless Motion Sensor. Your sensor uses a motion detector to
scan a field 90 degrees wide up to a range of approximately 20 feet (6.1 m). This enables you to monitor an area day
or night, rain or shine. This Quick Start Guide describes how to set up and troubleshoot your Wireless Motion Sensor.

Using Your Motion Sensor

The WMS can report detected events or interact with other system devices to record the event when motion is
detected. Positioning is critical in the mounting of your WMS, particularly if used in conjunction with a Motorola
homesight™ Video Camera to record triggered events. Using your computer and the Wireless System Controller, you
locally manage your home environment from your PC with the Motorola homesight™ software. When configured, the
system can notify you of any new events by sending you an e-mail. An event is defined as movement in the field
covered by the motion sensor.

How It Works

The Wireless Motion Sensor can communicate with the Wireless System Controller to a distance of up to
approximately 60 feet (18 m) in a typical home. It can detect motion within a field of 90 degrees horizontally. If armed,
motion triggers an event that is communicated wirelessly back to the Wireless System Controller, which in turn sends
event information back to your PC.
