Troubleshooting and Frequently Asked Questions
The transmitter lights up with motion, but the receiver does not react
The transmitter must be taught to the base unit, as explained in step 3 in the Set-Up guide. If the unit
was taught, the most common reason for not working is that the base unit has been turned off, or
muted.
If the green Power light is not lit or is flashing, press the MUTE button on the top of the base unit to
wake it up.
If the green Power light is illuminated, look at the two small white switches next to the LEARN button.
The #1 dipswitch should be down, towards the circuit board. If it is UP, the unit has been muted. If
the Base Unit signals when you press the LEARN button, it is not muted.
The transmitter is not getting the expected range
To assure best range Keep both antennas VERTICAL and keeps the PIR Transmitter antenna away from
trees and metal objects. It can also help to locate the Base Unit near a window with the clearest
possible sight of the PIR Transmitter. The less objects between devices, the longer the range.
The transmitter is detecting motion only part of the time
The cars are either passing to close to the sensor, or it is looking over the top of the car. For best
results, adjust the sensor to look at a 45-60 degree angle, have it about the height of the car's hot
motor, and set it back far enough so the cars do not pass with in 8 feet of the sensor.
The Reporter system is giving False Alarms
The transmitter will detect any motion near it, such as branches moving, or will see the background
move if it is moving in a breeze. Any lights shining on it, direct sun, or reflected light (like snow glare),
or hot objects can confuse the sensor or blind it, giving false signals. It is also possible that a little
condensation has built-up on the sensor and letting it sit inside for a few hours, open to the air,
without the batteries, it should correct itself.
The sensor can also be set to be less sensitive, by changing the two dipswitches, next to the test
button, on the circuit board inside the transmitter. The REPORTER is shipped pre-set to its highest
level of sensitivity, with the switches DOWN, towards the circuit board. If the sensor is detecting
motion outside its normal range, setting it to be less sensitive can correct for this.
SW 1: Sensitivity to motion
ON = High OFF = Low
There is a short beep every ten minutes
The Base Unit is indicating that it has a low 9-volt battery. Open the Base Unit, by pulling the top and
bottom halves apart. Replace the 9V battery with a fresh one or operate it without a battery.
How do I clear and Reset the Base Unit's Memory
Press and hold the Learn button, on the receiver, for fifteen seconds. It will give a triple-beep when it
has cleared its memory and you can re-teach transmitters to it. If a transmitter signals, while the
Learn button is depressed, the must be repeated.
