Mount PIR Motion Sensor
horizontally on solid surface
500 mm off the ground and within
400 m of Base Station (rotate
sensor to access screw holes). Unit
should be able to swivel as needed. Attach sun/rain
shield.
NOTE: Keep PIR Motion Sensor antenna away from
metal objects. Do not mount PIR Motion Sensor in
direct sunlight, near moving tree branches, or in the
path of a sprinkler system.

ACCESSORY
N/O (Normally Open)
COM (Common)
The Base Station has a relay which can activate other
devices such as a doorbell, buzzer or light. The relay
switch can handle up to 24 Vac at 10 amps. The
accessory device will need a separate power supply.
The accessories can be purchased at any
electronics store.

Troubleshooting
The PIR Motion Sensor lights up, but the Base
Station does not respond.
The PIR Motion Sensor must be programmed to Base
Station (See Step 6).
Ensure Base Station is on and is not muted.
If the green power light is not lit or is flashing, press
the Mute Button on the top of the Base Station to
wake it up.
If the green power is illuminated, look at the two small
white Base Station switches next to the Learn Button.
The #1 Dip Switch should be down, towards the
circuit board. If it is up, the Base Station has been
muted. If the Base Station signals when you press the
Learn Button, it is not muted.
The Alert is not getting expected transmission
range.
Keep both antennas vertical and keep PIR Motion
Sensor antenna away from trees and metal objects.
Ensure Base Station is in clearest possible sight of
the PIR Motion Sensor. The less objects between the
devices, the longer the range.
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 1-2 m
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.
It is possible that condensation has built up on the
sensor. Wipe condensation from PIR Motion Sensor
with cotton swab. Let it sit inside for a few hours,
open to the air, without the batteries and it should
correct itself.
Check Sensor Switches on PIR Motion Sensor. See
Switch Settings.
Base Station beeps every ten minutes.
The battery in the Base Station is low. Replace with
9-Volt battery.
Base Station is not very loud.
An accessory such as a bell, buzzer or light can be
attached to the relay switch. The relay switch can
handle up to 24 Vac at 10 amps. The accessory
device will need a separate power supply.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any
radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized
modifications to this equipment. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Vehicle Alert Installation: For cars, the best
mounting position is about 500 mm high, between
1-2 m back, and angled to see the back of car after
passing the sensor.
