Picking A Location
Location Considerations:
• Choose a location from which the
sensor can “see” all the paths of
movement that will be illuminated
by its lights.
• Good Night Light may be wall or
ceiling mounted.
• Sensor must be below and as far
as possible away from lights. If ceiling
mounted, be sure there are no lights
below sensor
•
Sensor functions best when the
direction of expected movement
is across its detection pattern, not
towards the sensor.
• If wall mounting, locate 6-10’ high
for optimum range and detection.
Lower mounting height will reduce
range.
Detection Pattern
• The sensor has a “Double Look
Down” Lens with one “Look Out”
zone and two “Look Down” zones,
for excellent detection both at long
and close range.
•
Detection extends out a maximum
of 30 feet and is 180° wide.
• To reduce the Detection Pattern
length, aim the sensor down
• To reduce Detection Pattern
width, mask the sides of the lens
with the Lens Mask Kit provided or
opaque weatherproof tape.
• If sensor is mounted by a doorway
at the top of stairs, be aware that
the elevated mounting height may
extend the sensors range.
• As distance from the sensor
increases, it will take more move-
ment to be detected. For instance,
at 10 feet, a half step will be enough,
while at 30 feet, several steps will
be necessary.
