Motion detection
The Motion Sensor detects motion with one-minute cool off time. Once motion is detected, the sensor will start detecting motion again only after one minute.
Pet-Immune Intrusion Detection detects the major motion of a person over several steps of walking, while Occupancy Detection detects the relatively minor motions of sedentary occupants such as adults, babies, and pets in a room. Pet-Immune Intrusion Detection is designed to discern humans from small animals, so that the sensor can report movement of persons in locked/unoccupied areas, while allowing pets to roam about such areas without being reported.
The Motion Sensor should be placed facing away from large windows. To provide the best detection performance, it is recommended to mount the Motion Sensor with its wall mount bracket on the corner or the wall, within one of the two height ranges:
8.6 feet (2.6 meters) - 10.6 feet (3.2 meters) You need to orient the bracket sloping
10° downward (see Mount the sensor).

Check the sensor before use
1. Place the sensor about 3.3 feet (1 meter) from the ULE compatible product.
2. Press and hold the PAIR button on the Motion Sensor for 3 seconds.
3. Release and immediately press the PAIR button again to enter the test mode until the green LED is steadily on. The test mode will last for 5 minutes.
4. Walk across the area in front of the sensor.
The green LED on the sensor will flash.
You will receive notifications at your
ULE compatible product. Refer to the Installation guide or user’s manual of your ULE compatible product for the sensor alerts.
Make sure you have done step 3 right after
• step 2. Otherwise, the sensor will enter the pairing mode.
In the test mode, once motion is detected, the
• sensor will only start to detect motion again after 5 seconds.
In the normal mode, once motion is detected,
• the sensor will only start to detect motion again after one minute. When you have received alerts already, you will only receive alerts again for motion detected after one minute.
Test the sensor signal strength
You can mount the Motion Sensor at a location where family members or unwanted visitors are likely to be coming and going.
1. Take the sensor to the desired mounting location and then, temporarily mount it at the desired height (Refer to Motion detection section). Use adhesive tape to hold the bracket temporarily in place.
If your ULE compatible product has a
signal checking or testing mode, enter the respective menu option to test the sensor signal strength.
2. Walk across the area in front of the sensor again and check whether a good signal is received at your ULE compatible product.
Once motion is detected, the sensor will only
• start to detect motion again after one minute. When you have received alerts already, you will only receive alerts again for motion detected after one minute.
If there is no alert received when you walk
• across the area in front of the sensor, move your ULE compatible product closer to the mounting location or move the sensor closer to the respective product.
Depending on surroundings and obstructing
• factors, like walls or cabinets, the sensor may not transmit to the ULE compatible product properly.
Mount the sensor
This sensor must be mounted vertically on wall
• or at a corner. Do not mount the Motion Sensor in a horizontal orientation, or flat on the ceiling.
Make sure the mounting surface is clean. A
• textured surface or any imperfections to a smooth surface can keep the mounting tape from making a strong bond.
This device detects or performs better when
• provided with a constant and stable environment. Avoid placing the sensor at a location which faces direct sunlight, or exposes to areas that may change temperature rapidly, or where there are air ducts or substantial airflows.
If you drill the holes into an object other than a
• stud, insert the screw anchors into the holes and tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the
screw anchors are flush with the wall or ceiling.
Orientation of wall mount bracket:
The wall mount bracket’s vertical angle is not perpendicular to the Motion Senor. According to the mounting height selected, you need to orient the bracket sloping upward (number “5” up) or sloping downward (number “10” up).
