Indoor/Outdoor PIR Motion Sensors Installation Instructions
Outdoor Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for installing outdoor motion sensors.
•
The outdoor motion sensor should be used for outdoor applications where there’s a tempera-
ture range from 10° to 120° F (12° to 49° C).
•
Do not use outdoor motion sensors for intrusion protection since any human, pet, or heated
mechanical motion such as an automobile can activate the sensor.
•
Follow the indoor motion sensor installation guidelines except for the last four items.
•
Do not aim the sensor at objects that may be heated excessively by the sun, such as black top
or dark colored objects.
•
Do not aim the sensor at foliage or shrubbery which has a dark background.
•
The housing is water-resistant but not water-proof. Mount the sensor underneath eaves or
porch coverings to prevent over exposure to rain, ice, and direct sunlight.
•
The sensor’s coverage area is shown in Figures 2 and 4.

locations.
