MOUNTING THE MOTION
DETECTOR
Motion detectors protect a specific
area of your home. For example, you
might want to protect a stereo system,
jewelry box, or wall safe.
The supplied motion detector
sees
40
feet with a 90 degree field of view.
Place it within 100 feet of the console.
You can place the motion detector on
a countertop or use the included brack-
et. The bracket lets you swivel the mo-
tion detector for the best coverage.
Note:
The motion detector senses mo-
tion by detecting temperature chang-
es. To help prevent false alarms, do
not place the motion detector near a
heating or air conditioning vent.
Secure the bracket to the detector’s
bottom using the supplied machine
screw. Then secure the bracket to the
wall. Finally, loosen the screw on the
hinge and adjust the detector to be lev-
el, then tighten the screw to hold the
detector in position.
For the best coverage, place the mo-
tion detector at a height of 6 feet, then
position the lens so an intruder walks
across its path rather than toward it.
Set the switch on the detector’s back to
1
(most sensitive) or
2
(least sensitive).
When set to
1
, the motion detector trips
the alarm if
any
movement is detected.
When set to
2
, the motion detector
must detect two movements or contin-
uous movement within a short time to
trip the alarm.
