WARNING
Position batteries in proper polarity and do not install batteries of different types, charge levels, or
capacities together.
Verify that the installation surface has no hidden utility lines before drilling or driving screws.
Do not install the receiver in a location that will get wet or directly exposed to the elements.
The receiver is not intended to be weather-resistant.
1. Take the following factors into consideration when choosing the install location of the sensor:
A. The passive infrared sensor detects heat. Avoid aiming it toward areas that produce heat
(heater vents, windows where the sun hits, or outdoor spotlights).
B. The sensor needs to be mounted at least 3 feet above the ground. If placing under garage
eaves, be sure that the sensor is not blocked by the roof facial board.
C. If placing more than 8 feet high, the sensor should be aimed downward so that it is pointed
toward the area being monitored.
D.
Obstructions may reduce the receiving range.
2. Mount the sensor to a flat surface with the hardware (3).
3. Place the receiver within 400 feet of the sensor.
4.
An optional 6 volt, 200mA power adapter (not included) can be used to power the receiver instead
of batteries.
