PIR low battery indication:
The PP3 battery should operate the PIR Detector
for approximately 12 months depending on the
number of activations each day and the effect of
low temperatures. When the battery is nearing
the end of its life (about 30 days before failure),
the low battery status will be indicated by the red
LED behind the detector lens flashing 5 times
after movement is detected.
You should change the battery in the PIR as
soon as you notice the low battery signal or if the
PIR stops working altogether.
Testing:
The system may be tested by placing the PIR
into Walk Test, (see “PIR Walk Test”).

If your wirefree system fails to work properly, complete the relevant test or tests which follow.
Note
: Also refer to the trouble shooting guide in your Chime or Switching Receiver manual.
PIR does not detect movement…
●
Check that the battery in the PIR is not exhausted.
●
Detection is set incorrectly.
PIR does not activate Chime at all…
●
Check that the battery in the PIR is not exhausted.
●
Make sure you use new batteries.
●
Check that the sound on the Chime is switched ON.
●
Check that the Receiver has correctly learned the PIR identification code by following
the test procedure. If necessary reset the Receiver and relearn the code.
PIR activates Chime during the night and not during the day…
●
Check that the PIR operating switch is set to the DAY position.
PIR activates Chime at night as well as during the day…
●
The ambient level of light at the Detector may be too high for the current dusk setting
permanently simulating day-time. At dusk, adjust the dusk control slightly clockwise.
Move around the detection area to see if the movement still activates the Chime.
If necessary continue to adjust the dusk setting until movement does not activate the
Chime. In extreme case it may be necessary to reposition the PIR.
●
The PIR may be illuminated by a light at night preventing the ambient light level falling
low enough for the current dusk setting. Try adjusting the dusk setting or shielding the
PIR from the light. In extreme case it may be necessary to reposition the PIR.
