TECHNICAL TIPS

Range Appears Limited (cont’d)

Problem

Sensor will not detect until movement crosses zones

Solution 

“Micro Adjust” sensor by moving sideways 1/4”. This may move the 
zones to allow earlier detection.

Less

Sensitive

This is the

“Animal Alley”

No Detection Until Here

PATHWAY

Detection Much Sooner

PATHWAY

3. Check that movement is not directly towards sensor. Sensor will

see movement across its pattern more quickly. To fix, move the
sensor.

4. Check that movement far away and directly towards sensor is not

entirely within one zone.

Lights Turn On for Unknown Reasons

1. Lights may turn on occasionally during rain, snow and

windstorms because the sensor is detecting changes in
temperature.

Solution

: Mount sensor in protected area.

If false detections are a constant problem, reduce sensitivity 
(turn counterclockwise) until the problem stops.

2. Tilt the sensor lower, it may be seeing distant objects moving.
3. You may not be aware that animals have triggered the sensor.

Check sensor aiming to reduce nuisance triggering or mask the
lower part of the lens with opaque weatherproof tape to create
an “Animal Alley”.

4. Although it is surge and transient protected, the sensor may

turn on occasionally during extreme voltage surges.

5. A possible source of “mysterious” sensor activations are strong

local radio signals. Check for nearby CB, Ham, VHF radio
transmitters, WiFi routers or cellular telephones. The sensor
may be activated but will not be permanently impaired by
these signals.

6. Check all the Solutions mentioned under

Lights Turn On and Off.

7. Check items #2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 under

 Lights Do Not Turn Off.
