How it works:
The PIR sensor is a passive infrared motion sensor, meaning it detects
infrared radiation rather than projecting it (unlike a security camera with
infrared night vision, which is active infrared). All objects emit this infrared
radiation (we commonly call it “heat”) and the infrared sensor looks for
any of this radiation which moves.
The passive sensor is not infallible – in particular, it cannot detect objects/
people which are the same temperature as their background. So a human
being moving about on an extremely hot day might go unnoticed. Also,
a security camera with active infrared night vision in the same vicinity as
the infrared sensor may give false alarms (particularly if it is a moving PTZ
system).

Important - Read Before Installing
Do not • expose any part of the alarm unit to any sudden shocks (such as being
dropped or struck).
Do not• install the passive infrared (PIR) alarm unit within detection range of
any device which emits heat or cold, such as air conditioners, refrigerators,
ovens, heaters, microwaves or other electronic equipment which generates
heat as a by-product of operation.
Do not• install the PIR sensor in direct sunlight.
Use only alkaline batteries.•
All components are for indoor use only.• Do not install outdoors.
Replace the batteries in the unit every six months.•
Test the alarm periodically• (every 1 - 2 months and each time you change
the batteries) to ensure it is working properly.
Keep this operating instruction booklet in a safe place.•
This alarm system is designed to be, and acts as, a theft deterrent. This •
system, like any other, cannot offer complete protection for your home
or business - it is simply an alarm system. Like all practical systems, it has
limitations and it could be disabled by a skilled intruder. We suggest that you
avoid relying solely on the Ceiling Alarm to protect your property, but use it
as part of a comprehensive security solution. You can increase your level of
protection through the use of high-quality locks, stronger doors, guards for
your windows and a CCTV system and recording devices.
