Technical Tips:
Range appears limited
1. Check that the sensor is level from
side to side and pointed at the area
you desire. If unit is tilted, part of the
Detection Zone may be high in the
air over peoples heads.
Solution:
Position sensor exactly
level from side to side.
2. Check that the sensor is not
mounted too high. If mounted above
20 feet, much of the usable range
will be lost.
3. If sensor is painted, make sure
there is no paint on the lens and that
the lens paint mask is removed.
4. Check that movement is not direct-
ly towards sensor. Sensor will see
movement across its pattern more
quickly. To fix, move the sensor.
5. Check that movement far away
and directly towards sensor is not
entirely within one Detection Pattern
finger.
Problem:
Sensor will not detect until
movement crosses from one finger
into a second finger.
Solution:
“Micro Adjust” sensor by
tilting mounting plate 1/16”. This
small adjustment may move the
zones to allow earlier detection.

Solution:
Mounting at
5’ to 8’ allows
maximum range.
