Activeeye motion sensors

Advertisement

To turn additional lights on when it gets dark. The ActiveEYE can send signals when it detects dusk and
dawn so it can turn a light on when it gets dark and turn it off when it gets light (in addition to turning lights on
when it detects motion). To have it turn a light on at dusk and off at dawn plug the light into an X10 Module and
set it to the same Housecode as the ActiveEYE and to a Unit Code that is one number higher than the Unit
Code of the module or camera that turns on when motion is detected. I.E. if the ActiveEYE turns on A1 when it
detects motion, it will turn on A2 when it gets dark and turn it off when it gets light. You then need to enable this
feature, see below for details. If you use this feature, care should be taken to place the Motion Sensor where it
sees plenty of sunlight during the day (such as near a window). If you place it in a dark corner it might not be able
to tell the difference between day time and night time. Care should also be taken not to place the Motion Sensor
near the light it is controlling, otherwise when the light turns on it might "fool" the Motion Sensor into thinking it's
daytime, so it will turn the light off again! Note: If you use the Motion Sensor to control X10 wireless cameras,
care should be take not to set any cameras to the code that the Motion Sensor sends at dusk and dawn (Unit
Code +1). Otherwise your cameras will be turned off at dawn.
To set whether you want the ActiveEYE to transmit EVERY time it sees motion or only at night; and
to enable or disable the "Unit Code +1" function to turn lights on/off at dusk/dawn:
Press the Unit/Off button once. The red light flashes. Then, (within 3 seconds) press and hold the House/On
button. The green light turns on. 3 seconds later the ActiveEYE reports its dusk/dawn setting as follows:
The red light blinks once if the ActiveEYE is set to detect motion at all times and does not turn Unit Code +1
ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.
The red light blinks twice if the ActiveEYE is set to detect motion only when it's dark and does not turn Unit
Code +1 ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.
The red light blinks three times if the ActiveEYE is set to detect motion at all times and does turn Unit Code
+1 ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.
The red light blinks four times if the ActiveEYE is set to detect motion only when it's dark and does turn Unit
Code +1 ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.
To change this, Press the Unit/Off button once. The red light flashes. Then, (within 3 seconds) press and hold the
House/On button. The green light turns on. 3 seconds later the ActiveEYE reports its dusk/dawn setting, as listed
above. Release and immediately press the House/On button 1, 2, 3, or 4 times for the setting you require, as above.
Hold the button for 3 seconds on your last press. The red light then reports the setting with 1, 2, 3, or 4 blinks.
NOTES:
After replacing batteries, you need to wait 30 seconds before the ActiveEYE will see any motion.
After a transmission, you need to wait 10 seconds before the ActiveEYE will see you.
The default House and Unit Code transmitted when motion is detected is A 1-ON.
The default for motion detection is detect at all times (day and night).
The default time-out after which OFF is sent (default A 1-OFF) is Analog, i.e. the setting on the dial.
The default House and Unit Code transmitted when dusk/dawn is sensed is Unit Code +1 (i.e. A 2)
ON at dusk, A 2 OFF at dawn, but this feature is disabled by default, see above to enable it.
