Where to install the product
The detector is intended for monitoring open areas. Any solid object (such as a tree or a bush) in
the coverage area will create a blind spot (radar shadow) behind it.
Install the detector on a pole, or on a spot on a wall where there are no other objects or
installations close to it.
To be able to correctly identify movement in the coverage area, the detector needs to be installed
on a stable mount. Do not install the detector on a swaying pole.
If two radar detectors of are mounted close together they may interfere with each other, see
How to install multiple detectors on page 15.
At the recommended mounting height, the near detection limit is 4.5 m (15 ft).
If there are a lot of metal objects in the field of view there will be a lot of reflections impacting
the performance.
Note
Do not repaint the detector. The paint may seriously impact the detector's performance.
Mounting direction
The detector covers an angle of ±60° from its central axis. This means that if you mount it on a
wall there is a blind spot to each side of the detector.
To cover the wall you can move the radar module inside the detector.
