MOTION SENSOR PLACEMENT
Careful consideration must be given to sensor placement. PIR sensors detect the difference
between infrared energy in motion and the background space. To be detected, a person or
vehicle must be within the sensor’s coverage pattern and have an unobstructed view of the sensor.
Mounting options
•
Install onto a standard 4" round outdoor junction box.
•
Mount to a flat, stable, vibration-free surface.
•
Mount vertically or horizontally, usually to a wall, ceiling or under an eave.
Vertically Mounted:
The sensor comes assembled and ready for
vertical cover plate mounting, as shown in the
