If you are using NiMH rechargeable batteries then the approximate thresholds
are as follows:
Number of
flashes
4
3
2
1
Operating Mode & Channel Indicator
Before the PIR starts operating it will flash four times. The length of each flash
corresponds to the Jumper settings inside the PIR. The first flash corresponds
to JPA, the second JPB and so on. A long flash indicates a jumper is On while
a short flash indicates it is off. Thus a long flash followed by three quick
flashes indicates the sensor is in Video mode, Channel 1. A short-long-short-
long sequence would correspond to legacy mode. See Page 7 for Operating
Mode and Channel jumper configuration.
Alignment & Sensitivity Indicator
After the power-up phase, the sensor will commence normal operation.
The LED will light up whenever motion is detected. This can be used as a
visual aid to help align the sensor so that it is only detecting motion in the
desired trigger zone. When you are using the LED to set-up your sensor, you
might want to leave your camera off to avoid taking unwanted images.
After 5 minutes the LED will be disabled in order to conserve battery power
and avoid drawing attention to the PIR sensor. If you want to reactive the LED
then you will need to turn the sensor off and then on again.
If the LED is illuminating in response to motion but the camera is not firing
then please check the following:
1) Some programs do not fire the camera (for example, several video
programs do not send full-press signals to the camera)
2) If using a wireless connection, the channel of your receiver might not
match the PIR transmitter
3) If in a "Night" program, then the camera will not fire if the ambient light
level is above the luminosity threshold set by the Luminosity Dial
4) If in a "Day" program, then the camera will not fire if the ambient light
level is below the luminosity threshold set by the Luminosity Dial
5) Some programs include long delays during which the camera will not
fire (for example, it is possible to set a delay of up to 60 seconds after
each burst)
6) Your camera may not be set-up correctly so double-check the settings
in the "Quick Start" guide in the Stills Manual
