placed on the base. The magnet locations are identified by the circle mark on the casing. 

 

The  PIR’s  movement  detection  function  is  directional.  It  is more  sensitive  to  movement  from  side,  and  less  sensitive  to 
vertical movement from top to bottom. Use the location of the bottom magnet as a reference to determine the horizontal and 
vertical direction of the PIR. 

 

The PIR base has 2 mounting holes used for installation on surface with fixing screws and plugs provided. The base also 
has magnet  within. One side  of the base has an opening to mark  the front side  of the  base. The main body should be 
placed on the base with the lens facing the front opening to ensure PIR’s detection coverage is not obstructed by the base.   

 

1.  Use the 2 mounting holes on PIR base as template, drill holes in the surface. 
2.  Insert the wall plugs if fixing it into plaster or brick. 
3.  Screw the base into the wall plugs. 
4.  Place the PIR on the base. The magnet within PIR and base will ensure the PIR stays attached to base.   
5.  Rotate the PIR to adjust detection coverage according to expected intruder movement path. Make sure the intruder would 

move across the PIR detection coverage from side to side. 

 

Installation Guideline 

 

It is recommended to install the PIR in the following locations. 

 

In  a  position  such  that  an  intruder  would  normally  move  across  the  PIR’s  field  of  view  from  side  to  side,  avoid 
installing where intruder moves across the detection coverage from PIR top to bottom. 

 

Between 1.9 and 2m above ground for best performance when facing forward. 

 

Where its field of view will not be obstructed e.g. by curtains, ornaments etc. 

 

Limitations 

 

Do not install the PIR at location exposed direct sunlight, or close to heating/cooling appliance and vent 

 

Do not point the PIR at heat source such as heater, radiator and window. 

 

Do not point the PIR at window. 

 

Avoid large obstacles in the detection area, and avoid moving objects such as curtain. 

 

Avoid locations where pet may climb on and compromise pet immunity, such as stairway.
