Pro Tips
Save battery life
by taking unit out of walk test mode after
completing walk test. There is no 2 minute delay when
in walk test mode. Leaving in walk test mode will
severely decrease battery life.
Light changes
will cause the sensor to trip. Ensure that the
detector is not placed near windows.
Sudden temperature changes
will cause the sensor to trip.
Ensure the motion detector is not placed near heating
and cooling vents.
High humidity
environments can cause condensation of
the detection lens. Ensure the motion detector is not
installed in these kinds of environments.
Protective film
should be removed from the lens after
installation.
