Motion sensor

To turn additional lights on when it gets dark.
The Motion Sensor 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 Motion Sensor
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 Motion Sensor turns on A1 when it detects motion, it will turn on A2 when it gets
dark and turn it off when it gets light. 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 Motion Sensor to transmit EVERY time it sees motion or only at night:
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 Motion Sensor reports its dusk/dawn setting as follows:
The red light blinks once if the Motion Sensor is set to detect motion at all times.
The red light blinks twice if the Motion Sensor is set to detect motion only when it's dark.
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 Motion Sensor reports its dusk/dawn setting,
as listed above. Release and immediately press the House/On button ONCE for operation at all times, or
TWICE for operation only at night. Hold the button for 3 seconds on your last press. The red light then
reports the setting with 1 or 2 blinks.
NOTES:
After replacing batteries, you need to wait 30 seconds before the Motion Sensor will see any motion.
After a transmission, you need to wait 10 seconds before the Motion Sensor 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 1 minute.
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.
