3.3 Sensor sensitivity
IMPORTANT! The Motion Sensor is designed with a power saving program and will remain inactive for 3
minutes after each detection. Please bear this in mind during system set up.
The sensitivity of the Motion Sensor is adjustable and can be changed by setting the connector on either the
“High”, “Middle” or “Low” position. When the sensitivity is set to “Low”, more movement is required to trigger
the sensor. It is recommended to set the sensitivity to “Low” and perform a “Walk Test” (Described in section
3.4). If the walk test result is satisfactory, the sensitivity does not require further adjustment. If the walk test
result shows the sensitivity is too low, then the sensitivity can be set to “Middle” or “High” as required. It is
recommended that a walk test be conducted after each change in sensitivity setting.
3.4 Walk test
After mounting the sensor at the desired location, it is important to perform a
walk test in order to determine if the sensor is detecting the correct area.
The distance at which the sensor can detect motion can be adjusted by
altering the angle of the sensor. To reduce the detection range, simply move
the sensor downward and move the sensor upward to maximize the range.
Note: Enter into ALERT mode before you perform the walk test, so that the alarm is not triggered.
You should walk in the area that you would like the sensor to monitor. If movement is detected the red light
inside the unit will appear. If the red light does not appear, adjust the mounting angle accordingly. Perform
the walk test again after 3 minutes. Repeat this procedure until motion is detected. Whilst carrying out the
test, there should be no movement in the detection area during the 3 minute interval.
4. House Security Code Settings
Unless the factory settings of the Wire-free Home Protection System Smart Panel have been altered, the
House Security Code will NOT need to be changed.
However, if the settings on the Smart Panel have been altered, or need to be altered to solve the problem of
the Smart Panel and sensors activating intermittently (or not working at all) or interference with other
systems, then the House Security Code on all system modules (sensors and sirens)will also need to be
changed.
House Security Code settings can be altered as follows:
• There are 4 jumpers or dip-switches on each device.
• Remove the [jumper compartment cover], then pull out or plug the jumper into the contacts to change the
House Security Code
• If a jumper is plugged it is ON if it is removed it is OFF. Default code is with all the jumpers plugged
• To ensure the system works correctly, make sure the jumpers on the Smart Panel and all other system
* Tips: The sensor should not face towards direct
sunlight, be placed near heat or cold producing
devices (i.e. air conditioning, radiators, fans, ovens,
heaters etc.) that may cause false triggers. Also
perform the walk test in areas which the sensor is
not intended to cover, to ensure movement cannot
be detected.
