Red LED Indicator
The red LED on the front of the PIR serves two functions:
1)
Indicates the battery voltage on power-up
2)
Helps sensor alignment and sensitivity testing during the first 5 minutes
Power-up Sequence
When the sensor is turned on, the LED will flash up to 5 times. There is then
an 8 second delay before the sensor will flash quickly 3 times and start
operating.
The number of flashes during the initial power-up phase provides a quick
indication of the remaining battery level. This battery indicator has been
calibrated to be most useful when the sensor is powered by six Alkaline
batteries.
The battery life thresholds are as follows:
Number of flashes
Alkaline battery life
remaining
5
More than 80%
4
60%-80%
3
40%-60%
2
20%-40%
1
Less than 20%
