Indoor/Outdoor
Motion Sensor

1. INTRODUCTION

The Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor is designed to
monitor movement around your house. The motion
sensor can be placed either indoor or outdoor.
Once motion is detected, the receiver will beep &
flash.

In this package, you should find an Indoor/Outdoor
Motion Sensor, ball-head joint, screws and a clip.

2 pcs 3 x 18 screws
(Included)

Please follow the instructions below to setup your
motion sensor.

1. CODE CONNECTORS

In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the

Clip

sensor’s code must match with the receiver’s code. Code connectors 1
to 6 can be found by opening the battery cover and back cover of the
receiver. User is required to set these code connectors randomly and
the code settings on both sensor and receiver must be the same. Each
position of the code connector can be set to “+”, “-‘ or “0” positions.
Refer to the diagram below to set the code connectors properly.

Note: A connector can be
removed with the clip,
as shown.

Note: If you experience interference from a nearby system, which could accidentally trigger your system,
please change the code settings on the sensor and receiver. The code setting on the sensor and
receiver should still match after changing the code setting.

2. ZONE CONNECTORS

Each receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors (to represent 4
different zones on the receiver). There are 2 connectors that determine
the zone nu mber 1 , 2, 3 a nd 4. Th ese 2 connectors can be found by
opening the battery cover. Please follow table 1 to set the zone.

Table 1

“+” in the table means the connector for that position should be placed on
the posts.
“-“ in the table means the connector for that position should be removed.

1. POWER UP

After setting up all the connectors properly ,
the sensor is now ready to be powered up.

Insert a 9V alkaline battery (not included) to
the motion sensor and its LED will be on for
2 seconds. The receiver will beep and red
LED flash. The sensor requires a warm up
time of approx. 45 seconds before it can
function properly. After powering up the
sensor, face it to the wall where no motion
will be detected. After 45 seconds, the
sensor is ready. Wave your hand in front
of the sensor, the receiver will beep and
red LED will flash for approx. 15 seconds.

Insert 9V alkaline battery to the sensor

2. SENSOR SENSITIVITY

The sensitivity of the motion sensor is adjustable. Change the setting by
placing the connector on either the ”High” or “Low” position. When the
sensitivity is set to “Low”, more movement is required to trigger the
sensor. It is recommended to set the sensitivity to “Low” and perform a
“Walk Test” (Described in Section 3 ­“Walk Test”). If the walk test result is
satisfied, the sensitivity does not
require to be adjusted further. If the
walk test result shows the sensitivity
is too low, then you can change the
sensitivity setting to “High”. Please
perform the walk test after changing
the sensitivity setting.

3. MOUNTING

A ball-head joint is necessary to mount the sensor at a desire location. A height of
5-6 f t is r ec om m en d ed , de p en d in g on yo u r a p pl i ca t io n . O n ce a l o ca t io n is selected,
mount the ball-head joint to this location by screws provided, (see diagram 1). Once
the ball-head joint is mounted to the wall, slide the back of the sensor into the ball­head joint (see diagram 2).
The mounting angle
can be adjusted. Please
refer to Section 3 “Walk
Test” to determine the
best mounting angle.

4. WALK TEST

After mounting the sensor at the desired location,
it is important to perform a walk test in order to
determine if the sensor is detecting the things you
want to detect.

In order to control how far the sensor can “see”, this can be done by
adjusting the angle of the sensor. To reduce the detection range, simply
move the sensor downward. To increase the range, move the sensor
up to around 12 degrees. This will give the maximum range. However,

this may not be desired if the sensor is placed outdoors, since a false
trigger may occur if the sensor is set to detect motion in a distance.

You should walk in the area that you would like the sensor to monitor.
The receiver will beep if the sensor detects your movement. If the
receiver does not respond, adjust the mounting angle accordingly.
Perform the walk test again after 30 seconds. Repeat this procedure
until your motion is detected. There should be no movement in the
detected area during the 30 seconds.

Perform walk test in the undesired area to ensure movement cannot be
detected.

Tips: The sensor should not face towards direct sunlight, placing near
heat or cold producing devices (i.e. A/C or furnance vents, fans,
ovens, heaters etc.) that may cause false triggers.

4. OPERATION

When motion is detected in the monitored area, the sensor will send a signal to the receiver. It
will beep and the corresponding zone red LED will flash for 15 seconds.

If the sensor is set to zone 1, zone 1 red LED on the receiver will flash, and the receiver will emit
a continuous “single beep”, i.e. “beep” pause, “beep”, pause….. etc.

If the sensor is set to zone 4, zone 4 red LED will flash, and the receiver will emit a continuous “4
beeps”, i.e. “beep beep beep beep” pause “beep beep beep beep” pause ……etc.

By the number of beeps emitted by the receiver, user can identify which zone is triggered.

5. LOSS OF SIGNAL INDICATION

When the battery level on the sensor drops to a certain level, or the sensor is out of the operating
range, the receiver will show a “loss of signal” indication. The red LED representing that zone
will flash rapidly, i.e. if zone 1 sensor is lost, the zone 1 red LED will flash rapidly.

When the loss of signal indication occurs, move the receiver closer to the corresponding sensor
and trigger that sensor. If the red LED stops flash-ing rapidly, that means the receiver or sensor
needs to be relocated. If the “loss of signal” indication persists, replace the battery of that sensor.

6. OTHER HOUSEHOLD ALERT TM SENSORS

The Houselink® receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors: garage door monitor sensors,
door / window sensors, water sensors, indoor/outdoor motion sensors, etc. Please visit
