Aiming And Adjustment
The purpose of the Walk Test is
to check and adjust the coverage
pattern of Gotcha. When power is
first applied to the Gotcha, it will
automatically provide a 5 minute
Walk Test Period. During this period
the sensor will operate in daylight
and will keep lights on for only 5
seconds after motion ceases.
Walk Test
1. Aim the sensor across the traf-
fic pattern you want to protect.
2. Turn on power.
3. Start outside the pattern and
walk across the pattern until the
lights go on.
4. Adjust the sensor aiming as
necessary to improve coverage.
5. Remove weatherproofing cap
from sensitivity control. Turn dial
gently with a small screwdriver.
Less sensitivity may be desired if
you wish to protect a limited area
(or if the sensor is being activated
by wind, foliage or animals.) More
sensitivity will help cover a larger
area.
6. Repeat steps #3 thru #5 until
you are satisfied with the coverage.
To conduct another 5 minute walk
test, turn off the power for at least
5 seconds and turn it on again.
7. Tighten screws to lock the sen-
sor in position.
8. Set the “Time” control. The
minimum setting is 10 seconds, the
maximum 5 minutes. This period
starts after the movement in the
protection pattern ceases.
9. Replace the caps on Time and
Sensitivity controls.
