The test will repeat every 2 seconds and run for a duration of 100 seconds. You may quit 

the test at any time by pressing the Test button for 10 seconds.

Range Confirmation Test:

 provides visual feedback of the sensors signal strength by a 

linked receiver with range confirmation capability. Have only one receiver linked to the 

sensor for proper operation of the test and disable repeaters in range for proper test 

operation).

The Range Confirmation test requires a battery to be installed.

1. 

To enter Range Confirmation Test mode, press and hold the test button for 6 

seconds. The green LED will begin to blink.

2.  A quick press and release of the button at this point will allow you to select between 

test modes. Pressing and releasing the test button scrolls through the LED indicators. 

When the amber LED is blinking, go to step 3. 

3.  Press and hold the test button again for 6 seconds to select Range Confirmation 

Test. 

4. All three LED’s will blink (for 1 second) in this test mode when the sensor transmits 

or receives a Range Confirmation Telegram followed by the sensor displaying the 

linked signal strength status for 2.5 seconds.

The test will repeat every 4 seconds and run for a duration of 50 seconds. You may quit 

the test at any time by pressing the test button for 10 seconds.

Walk Test Mode

: In walk test mode, the red LED will blink on every motion event. DT 

models will also blink green on audio events. This allows an installer to verify the sensor 

can monitor and detect motion in an area as required.

1. 

To enter Walk Test mode, press and hold the Test button for 6 seconds. The green 

LED will begin to blink.

2.  A quick press and release of the button at this point will allow you to select between 

test modes. Pressing and releasing the test button scrolls through the LED indicators. 

When the red LED is blinking, go to step 3. 

3.  Press and hold the test button again for 6 seconds to select Walk Test mode. 

The red LED will begin blinking when motion is detected. The test will run for a 

duration of 100 seconds. You may quit the test at any time by pressing the test 

button for 10 seconds.

Sensor  Sensitivity  Adjustment  Mode:

 

This  mode  allows  adjustment  of  the  PIR 

Sensitivity,  Audio  Sensitivity  and  Sensor  Occupancy  Timer  duration.  False  occupancy 

states caused by external elements can be reduced by adjusting the sensitivity levels.
