Will Gotcha detect animals?
Gotcha will not detect cars, birds
or small dogs. It may detect large
dogs and larger animals. Having
animals trigger Gotcha can help
give property a “lived-in” look. You
limit animal detection by turning
down the sensitivity knob or by
placing electrical tape on the
lower part of the lens, or both.
How are Time and
Sensitivity set?
Time and Sensitivity adjustments
are located on the underside of
the sensor and are protected by
weatherproof caps. To adjust,
remove the cap and use a small
screwdriver. Replace the cap after
adjustment is completed.
•
Time: sets the time that lights
will remain on after protection
zone is vacated.
•
Sensitivity: increases or
decreases the responsiveness
of the sensor and its range.

Gotcha’s infrared sensor “sees”
small temperature changes caused
by the motion of people or cars
within its protection zone and
turns on lights automatically. It
welcomes visitors and may deter
intruders.
How long do the lights
stay on?
Lights turn off a short time after
motion in the detection range
stops. You can adjust this time
from 10 seconds up to 5 minutes.
Since the lights are only on when
needed, and the sensor uses only
four watts, Gotcha is extremely
energy efficient.
Can outdoor lights still be
turned on with the light switch?
Yes. Gotcha can be controlled by
a conventional indoor switch or
circuit breaker. Lights can be turned
on or off manually at any time.
•
Lights off: Flip the switch “off”.
•
Automatic operation: Turn the
switch “on”. Gotcha will first run
through a 5 minute test period for
daytime testing. The sensor will
then be ready to detect movement
within its zone at night only.
•
Manual Override Mode (to keep
lights on): Flip the switch “off” then
on again two times (off-on-off-on)
within 2-3 seconds.
•
To Resume Automatic
Operation: Flip the switch once
(off-on) within 2 seconds. Sensor
will also reset to Automatic Mode
after 6 hours or at dawn.
