Troubleshooting the Sensor 

If the sensor loses Bluetooth connection and will not 
reconnect, try cycling the ON button. Press and briefly 

hold

 the button until the status LEDs blink in 

sequence, and then release the button. Start the 
sensor in the usual way.

If the sensor stops communicating with the computer 
software or tablet application, try restarting the 
software or application. If the problem remains, press 
and 

hold

 the ON button for 10 seconds and then 

release. Start the sensor in the usual way.

Turn Bluetooth off and then back on. Retry.

Equipment Mounting

Mount the Wireless Motion Sensor as illustrated on a 
vertical rod (a) or a horizontal rod (b). 

Integrated clips on the lower front end of the sensor allow it 
to be attached to the end of a PASCO track (c).

A threaded hole in the bottom of the unit (d) is provided for 
attachment to the Motion Sensor Bracket (e), the Cart 
Adapter Accessory (f), and other 1/4-20 threaded mounting 
devices such as a camera tripod.

To protect the Wireless Motion Sensor from being hit by an 
object, use a device such as the Motion Sensor Guard (g) 
or Photogate Brackets with a rubber band (h). 

The sensor can “see through” a wire screen or rubber band 
placed close to the transducer.

About the Battery

The sensor’s battery is partially charged at the factory. If 
the battery status LED blinks red, use the micro USB cable 
to connect the sensor to a USB port or a USB charger.

Battery Usage

Battery life is very important to making the sensor simple 
and always ready to use, so all of the PASCO wireless 
products are designed for long battery life. For example, 
the sensor turns itself off after a few minutes of inactivity. 

The battery life between charges for the sensor varies 
depending on the sampling rate. The battery life ranges 
between 11 hours for high sample rates to more than 70 
hours for low sample rates. 

In typical classroom/lab use, this would translate to a 
battery life between charges ranging from one to four 
weeks or more, because full-day continuous sampling
