Skylink ID-318 User Manual

Motion Sensor

Model ID-318

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of a SkylinkHome Motion Sensor, Model

TM

ID-318. The Motion Sensor allows you to activate a receiver module to
turn lights on automatically when movement is detected. A built-in count­down timer can turn lights off after a predefined time period. This is ideal
for energy saving purpose where an area is not always occupied but
lighting is needed when someone is present. A built-in light sensor can
also be used so the lights will not be on when the monitored area is bright
enough even if movement is detected there.

All wireless signal communications within the SkylinkHome System are

TM

based on rolling code technology to ensure highest security is used.

The following items are included in this package:

- Motion Sensor ID-318

- Ball Joint and Mounting Accessories

- User's Instructions

3. CUSTOMIZING THE MOTION SENSOR

To customize your motion sensor, open up the battery compartment door
and set the jumper connectors according to your needs.

SEN 1, SEN 2 - SEN 1 for high sensitivity, SEN2 for low sensitivity. The

sensor in high sensitivity can monitor further movement, up to about
11 meters and less movement is required for activation. The sensor in low
sensitivity can monitor movement within a shorter distance and more move­ment is required for activation. Set the jumper connector at either one of
this positions.

SET Button - For programming the Motion Sensor.

5 min / 30 min / 60 min - For setting the countdown timer duration. For

example, you may set the connector at the 5 min position so the light will
be on when a motion is detected and be off 5 minutes later if no more
motion is detected.

In order to activate a receiver module for automatic control with a Motion
Sensor, it must be programmed to the receiver module.

To program a motion sensor to a receiver module, follow the instructions
below.

1. Undo the door screw on the back of the motion sensor and remove the
battery compartment door.

2. Insert a 9V alkaline battery to power up the motion sensor.

3. Put the receiver module that you plan to program into programming
mode. Refer to the User's Instructions of that receiver module. If you
are programming the motion sensor to any one of these receiver
modules, Model PA-318, PR-318, PL-318, LS-318, WE-001, WR-001,
you can only program the motion sensor under “Countdown Timer”
or “Flashing Alert” operating mode of the receiver module. If you
program the motion sensor under “Flashing Alert” operating mode,
when movement is detected, the light will flash for a predefined time
period. Please choose carefully on which operating mode you select
during programming. *

4. Once the receiver module is in programming
mode, you may transmit the programming
signal from the motion sensor by pressing

SET
Button

the “SET” button once. Make sure that the
sensor faces a still object ( for example,
a wall, a table top, etc) and not to be
triggered at this moment.

Each of these receiver modules, Model PA-318, PR-318, PL-318, LS-318,
WE-001, WR-001, has its own countdown timer duration setting. However,
when a motion sensor is these receiver modules,

programmed to any one of
the motion sensor timer duration setting overrides the timer duration setting
of the receiver module. Therefore, when movement is detected by the motion
sensor, the duration will be based on the motion sensor timer setting.

You may also move the timer jumper connector away, (no jumper con­nector at 5 / 30 / 60 minute). In this case, the light will be on when motion
is detected and it will not be turned off by the built-in countdown timer. You
must use other device such as a remote control to turn it off. There are
some situations where this is desirable. For example, a motion sensor
installed in a conference room will turn on the lighting when someone walks
into the room, and the lighting should remain on until someone leaves the
room and turns off the lighting manually. Without this setting (no timer),
during the meeting, the lighting may be turned off if no movement is in the
monitored area.

CDS (Light Sensor) OFF - If the jumper connector is in place, the CDS
light sensing function will be disabled, meaning even it is very bright, if
movement is detected by the motion sensor, it will still send a signal to
activate the receiver.

If the jumper connector is removed, light sensor function will be enabled,
meaning the light will only be on if motion is detected and the brightness
of the monitored area is low enough.

5. Once the motion sensor is programmed, the receiver module will quit
from programming mode. Programming is now completed.

After you power the receiver, if the light connected to receiver is on,
reprogram the motion sensor to the receiver twice consecutively. After this
procedure, your load will be off after power on. Now if motion is detected,
the red LED on the front of the motion sensor will flash and the load
connected to the receiver module should also be on.

You may program the motion sensor to different receiver modules, so
when the motion sensor is activated, all the receiver modules will be
activated.

*Motion Sensor can be programmed to MR-318 or MD-318 under ON/OFF
or regular Operating mode.

6. ERASING MOTION SENSOR FROM RECEIVERS

If the jumper connector is in place,
the light sensor threshold is set to
dark, a motion activation signal will
not turn on the lighting receiver
unless the environment is really
dark.

If the jumper connector is removed,
the light sensor threshold is set to
dim, a motion activation signal will
turn on the lighting receiver even the
environment is not so dark.

You should set the desired light sensing threshold by trial and error.

After setting all the jumper connectors, you may place the battery com­partment door back on and tighten the screw. You may now mount the
motion sensor at the desired location where movement will be monitored.

4. INSTALLATION

You can use the mounting accessories to mount the Motion Sensor on a
wall. First, mount the ball joint on the wall, then slide the Motion Sensor
on the ball joint. You should mount it at a height of about 7ft from the
ground to achieve better coverage.

Erasing Motion Sensor from the Dimmable Receiver Module
model MD-318 or On / Off Receiver Module model MR-318

You may erase a transmitter from the receiver module, but you cannot
erase a specific device directly, you must erase all the wireless devices,
then program the ones you want to keep. Follow the instructions below
to erase programmed transmitters.

1. Power off the receiver module.

2. Press the SET button on the Motion Sensor.

3. Press and hold the SET button for at least 2 seconds. Do not release
this button until step 5.

4. Power up the receiver module, you will hear a beep.

5. You may release the SET button.

6. When the button is release, you have successfully erased all the
devices from the lighting receiver.

To erase Motion Sensor from other receivers, please refer to the
instructions of the receivers.

5. TESTING AND OPERATION

Walk Test

Walk test should be performed after the motion sensor is mounted. Walk
in the covered area, if motion is detected, a red light inside the sensor
will flash. If the red light does not flash, motion has not been detected and
you may need to re-position the sensor. Ensure you walk test the whole
area that you would like the motion sensor to cover.

Note:

- Perform the walk test after you
have inserted the battery for more
than 1 minute.

- The sensor will not be triggered
by a new motion unless no motion
has been detected for 3 seconds.
Therefore, wait for at least 3 seconds
during walk testing to make a next
