Chamberlain PIRV400R Home Security System User Manual


 
Advanced Features
Both the PIR Motion Sensor and Base Station have
relays which can activate other electrical devices. The
accessory device will need a separate power supply.
NOTE:
Output switching capacity is low voltage (24V
max, ac or dc).
Base Station:
The relays can be
used to activate louder alarm bells,
lights, cameras, or other accessories.
PIR Motion Sensor:
The relays will
only activate when the remote button
is pressed on the Base Station. To
prevent access to these relays flush
mount the PIR Motion Sensor.

Troubleshooting
The Alert does not function.
Check batteries in PIR Motion Sensor. Ensure Base
Station has power. Ensure PIR Motion Sensor is
programmed to Base Station.
The Alert is not getting expected transmission
range.
Ensure Base Station antenna is vertical and keep PIR
Motion Sensor away from trees and metal objects.
Ensure Base Station is in clearest possible range of
PIR Motion Sensor. The less objects between
devices, the longer the range.
Base Station is not very loud.
Adjust the volume of speaker. An accessory such as
a low voltage bell, buzzer or light can be attached to
the relay switch. The accessory device will need
separate power supply.
NOTE:
Output switching capacity is low voltage
(24V max, ac or dc).
Static and feedback is heard in Base Station.
PIR Motion Sensor is too close to the Base Station.
The PIR Motion Sensor is detecting motion only
part of the time.
To detect cars, it is best to mount PIR Motion Sensor
at height of car’s motor and have it between ten and
twenty feet from the road. Swivel sensor as needed.
The Alert is giving false alarms.
Check for moving tree branches or insects in sensor
window. PIR sensor can also be triggered by light
shining directly in sensor window, such as reflected
sunlight, or motion in front of a light source.
Base Station beeps every ten minutes.
If there are two beeps the battery is low in the Base
Station. Replace with AA Alkaline batteries or operate
it with AC Adapter. If there are three beeps the battery
is low in the PIR Motion Sensor. Replace with AA
Alkaline batteries.
