Features

Your RadioShack Passive Infrared Sensor Alarm is a
high-quality, battery-operated security device. It uses
a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor to detect in­truders and activate a built-in alarm.

The sensor alarm’s features include:

Wireless RF (Radio Frequency) Operation

vides maximum reliability with no wiring required.

Built-In PIR Sensor

(9.1 m) away and from an angle of up to 110 degrees.

Built-In Alarm Siren

detects an intruder, then automatically shuts down
and resets after about 2 minutes.

Preparation

INSTALLING BATTERIES

The main unit of your sensor alarm requires four AA
batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best perfor­mance and longest life, we recommend alkaline bat­teries (available at your local RadioShack store).

Warning:

erly. Do not burn or bury them.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types

Important:

cadmium rechargeable batteries. At
the end of a nickel-cadmium battery’s
useful life, it must be recycled or dis­posed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste

Dispose of old batteries promptly and prop-

8837. Some options that might be available are: mu­nicipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers
such as your local RadioShack store, recycling collec­tion centers, and mail-back programs.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws
from the battery compartment cover, then lift off
the cover.

2. Place the batteries in the compartment and on
top of the attached ribbon, as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

Note:

As soon as you press the last battery in
place, the alarm sounds a loud chirp and both the
red and the green indicators light briefly.

3. Replace the cover, then reinsert and tighten the
screws.

Notes:

• The alarm is disarmed after batteries are
installed.

• Replacing the main unit’s batteries automatically
resets the security code to 1234. Any time you

Remote Control

Each time you remove and replace the batteries in
the main unit, you must program the main unit to rec­ognize the remote control’s signals. If you change the
security code, there is no need to reprogram the main
unit; it will still recognize the remote signals. Follow
these steps to program the main unit so you can use
your remote control.

es the remote signals (see “Arming and Disarming
the Sensor Alarm” on Page 19).

RESETTING THE SECURITY CODE

If you ever forget your security code, you can easily
reset it to the default code (1234) by removing and re­installing the main unit’s batteries (see “Installing Bat­teries” on Page 5).

Remember that after removing and reinstalling batter­ies in the main unit, you must program the main unit
to recognize the remote control’s signals (see “Re­mote Control” on Page 11).

Note:

The alarm is disarmed after batteries are in-

stalled.

ˆ

Installation

To help you avoid false alarms, mount your sensor
alarm’s main unit:

• where it will not be in direct sunlight

• away from heat sources, such as space heaters,
radiators, and exposed light bulbs

Installation

13

49-329.fm Page 14 Thursday, June 1, 2000 7:46 AM

• out of strong drafts, like those caused by central
heating vents or air conditioners or air movement
around fireplaces, exterior walls and windows,
and refrigerators

• so it does not detect your pet’s movements

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION

The sensor alarm’s main unit is designed to be
mounted on a smooth, flat wall surface. Select a
mounting location where the alarm is most likely to
detect an intruder. We recommend mounting it at a
height of about 5
sensor alarm detects motion up to 30 feet (9.1 m)
away and from an angle of up to 110 degrees. How­ever, there is a blind area of about 10 feet (3 m) di­rectly in front of the main unit.

TEMPORARILY PLACING THE
SENSOR ALARM

Before you permanently mount the sensor alarm,
temporarily place it at the selected location so you
can check the coverage area. You might need to
check several different locations to find the best one.
Place the main unit on a stepladder (for example) at
the recommended height, then move the stepladder
to various locations in the room(s) you want to pro­tect.

Checking the Coverage Area

To be sure the sensor detects motion in the areas you
want to protect, follow these steps.

1. If necessary, disarm the sensor alarm (the red
indicator should not be flashing) by entering the
current security code.

2. Confirm that the area is clear of anything that
might trigger the alarm (such as people and
pets).

are within the coverage area, change the main

• If the sensor alarm chimes when you are out-

side the coverage area, check the area to see
what is causing the false alarm and remove
the item, or change the main unit’s location.

MOUNTING THE SENSOR ALARM

After you determine the best location for your sensor
alarm, follow these steps to mount it on the wall.

1. If necessary, disarm the sensor alarm (the red
indicator should not be flashing) by entering the
current security code.

2. Drill two holes 1
thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads
extend about 3/16 inch (5 mm).

Note:

The two supplied mounting screws are
suitable for mounting the sensor alarm’s main
unit on a wooden surface. If you are mounting
the main unit on drywall, masonry, or another
type of surface, use the appropriate mounting
hardware (not supplied).

3. Turn the main unit about 30 degrees counter­clockwise, then slide the left screw head into the

the indicator flashes every second for about 30 sec­onds, then the alarm siren sounds and the indicator
stays on.

The alarm siren sounds for up to 2 minutes. To stop it
sooner, disarm the alarm (see “Disarming”). If you do
not disarm the alarm, the sensor alarm is still armed
and the siren will sound again the next time the sen­sor detects motion.

Disarming

To disarm the sensor alarm and stop the alarm from
sounding, enter your four-digit security code. The
main unit beeps twice when you enter the correct
code.

To temporarily silence the alarm using the remote
control, which gives you time to enter your security
code, follow these steps.

1. Press

DISARM

on the remote control.

The alarm stops sounding for about 30 seconds.
During this pause, the main unit beeps every
second and its red indicator flashes.

2. Enter your four-digit security code within 30 sec­onds. Otherwise, the alarm will sound again.

Notes:

• You can temporarily silence the alarm only once
each time you disarm it.

• If entering your security code does not disarm
the sensor alarm, try entering the default code
(1234). If that code does not disarm the alarm
either, remove the sensor alarm from the wall
and remove and reinstall the batteries. This
resets the security code to 1234.

USING THE CHIME ALARM

the sensor alarm detects motion, follow these steps.

Care

To enjoy your RadioShack Passive Infrared Sensor
Alarm for a long time:

• Keep the sensor alarm and remote dry. If they do

get wet, wipe them dry immediately.

• Use and store the sensor alarm and remote only

in normal temperature environments.

• Handle the sensor alarm and remote gently and

carefully. Don’t drop them.

• Keep the sensor alarm and remote away from

dust and dirt.

• Wipe the sensor alarm and remote with a damp

cloth occasionally to keep them looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the sensor alarm’s or re­mote’s internal components can cause a malfunction
and invalidate the system’s warranty. If your sensor
alarm system is not performing as it should, take it to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
