MOTION SENSOR INSTALLATION
Mount Motion Sensor
horizontally on solid surface 3-5
feet (1-1.5 m) off the ground and
within 1/2 mile (0.8 km) of Base
Station (rotate sensor to access
screw holes). Unit should be able
to swivel as needed.
Attach sun/rain shield.
NOTE:
Keep Motion Sensor
antenna away from metal
objects. Do not mount Motion
Sensor in direct sunlight, near
moving tree branches, or in the
path of a sprinkler system.
4 feet (1.2 m)
10-20 feet (3-6 m)
Vehicle Alert Installation:
For cars, the best mounting position is
about 4 feet (1.2 m) high, between 10-20 feet (3-6 m)back, and
angled to see the back of car after passing the sensor.

The Motion Sensor lights up, but the Base Station does not
respond.
The Motion Sensor must be programmed to Base Station (See Step
3). Ensure Base Station is on and the volume is turned up.
Motion Sensor is detecting motion only part of the time.
Ensure the Motion Sensor is set to the High Sensitivity setting (See
Step 2). To detect cars, it is best to mount Motion Sensor at height
of car’s motor and have it between 10-20 feet (3-6 m) from the
road. Swivel sensor as needed.
The Wireless Motion Alert Sensor is giving false alarms.
Check for moving tree branches or insects in sensor window.
Motion Sensor can also be triggered by light shining directly in
sensor window, such as refl ected sunlight, or motion in front of a
light source.
It is possible that condensation has built up on the sensor. Wipe
condensation from 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 Motion Sensor. See Switch Settings.
Base Station beeps every 30 minutes.
The batteries in the Base Station or the Motion Sensor(s) are low.
Replace the 4 AA batteries. Check the Motion Sensor(s), if the LED
illuminates on all of the Motion Sensors, change the batteries in the
Base Station.
The Wireless Motion Alert Sensor is not getting expected
transmission range.
Keep both antennas vertical and keep Motion Sensor antenna away
from trees and metal objects. Ensure Base Station is in clearest
possible sight of the Motion Sensor. The less objects between the
devices, the longer the range.

This device must be installed to ensure a minimum 20 cm (8 in.) distance is maintained between users/
bystanders and device.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada ICES standard. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
