Press and hold the ‘Sensor
Discovery’ button on the rear panel,
after 2 seconds the unit will beep,
then release the button for the zone
that you would like to clear. To clear
all zones, repeat the above for each
zone.
CLEARING A ZONES MEMORY
MOTION SENSOR MOUNTING
The Guardsman Motion Sensors are constructed with UV resistant ABS plastic
allowing for indoor or outdoor use.
NOTE: For optimum range, the Motion Sensors should not be used on metal doors,
metal door frames or metal objects.
1.
Peel the paper strip from the double-sided tape located on the back of the sensor
Wall Mounting Bracket. You can also mount the sensor more securely using the screws
in the hardware kit. Using the drilling templateon the back of the instruction guide, drill
two small holes for the screws, ideally 2-3 metres high.
2.
Screw the Wall Bracket into place.
3.
Now that the Wall Bracket is securely in place, mount the Motion Sensor on the
Wall Bracket.
4.
Position Motion Sensor so it faces area to be monitored.
HELPFUL HINTS
The Guardsman Motion Sensors are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Please
bear in mind the following points when choosing a mounting position:
•
The Motion Sensor should not be more than 7 metres from where motion will occur
•
The lower the Motion Sensor the closer it may need to be monitored area.
•
Ideal height for the Motion Sensor is 2-3 metres.
•
The Motion Sensor should not be used on metal doors, metal door frames or metal
objects. Metal doors and frame could affect transmission range.
FAQ’s
HOW FAR AWAY CAN THE SENSORS BE FROM THE RECEIVER BASE?
Typically 18 metres.
HOW FAR AWAY CAN THE MOTION SENSOR BE FROM THE MOVEMENT?
The Motion Sensor shouldnot be more than 6metres from where the motion is
expected to occur, however, the lower the Motion Sensor the closer it may need to
be to the monitored area. Ideal height is 2-3 metres.
CAN I PLACE THE SENSOR IN A DIFFERENT ROOM FROM THE RECEIVER?
Yes, the sensor uses radio frequencies to communicate with the Receiver Base.
These frequencies can go through objects like walls ceilings, and floors.
CAN I PLACE THE SENSORS OUTDOORS?
Yes, the sensors are designed to be indoor or outdoor units.
HOW LONG WILL THE MOTION SENSOR BATTERY LAST?
The battery is expected to last up to 12 months. This will depend on actual use and
how often the sensor is triggered.
HOW MANY SENSORS CAN I REGISTER WITH THE RECEIVER BASE?
The receiver base can support up to 9 Sensors (3 per zone).
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE RECEIVER BASE LOSES POWER?
Because there is a rechargeable battery in the Receiver Base, even if it loses power,
the system will still work for up to 6 hours.
TROUBLE SHOOTING

REMEDIES
The Receiver Base
1. Check to make sure the Motion Sensor is properly
does not sound when
registered with the Receiver Base.
the MotionSensor
2. Check that the volume control on the back of the
detects movement.
Receiver Base is adjusted properly.
3. Check that the Receiver Base has power and is on.
4. Place the Motion Sensor in another location closer
to the Receiver Base.
The LED in the Motion
1. Be sure the battery is properly inserted with the
Sensor does not light up correct polarity.
2. Be sure you are using fresh alkaline batteries.
Flashing green LED
1. Indication on the Receiver Base to indicate low
every few seconds and
battery level on the sensors in the zone of which
an intermittant tone.
the LED is flashing.
Once a Motion Sensor is registered with a particular zone, even if the sensor loses
power for a prolonged period of time, the Receiver Base will still recognize the sensor
when power is restored.
NOTE: It is important to power only one new Motion Sensor at a time since as soon
as you power it up the Receiver Base, if in discovery mode, will recognize the sensor.
To facilitate set up, you should power up one sensor, assign it to a group, and then
repeat the process for the other sensors.
