Installing The Motion Detector - Honeywell RCA902N Installation Instructions Manual

Installing the Motion Detector

Positioning the Motion Detector
• Place the detector within range of the Receiver, taking into consideration any
reduction in the maximum range (range depends on types of receivers used)
caused by any objects in between. Avoid mounting the unit on or near large
metal objects.
• The recommended mounting height for the detector is 8 ft. At this height, the
motion detector will have a range of approximately 40 ft. Mounting the detector
higher will increase the detection range but it will be less sensitive to movement
at the extreme range and also may not be able to detect movement very close to
it. Tilting the detector head up and down will have the same effect.
• Mount the detector on a firm stable surface where the logical path of a person
would cut across the detection pattern. The detector is more sensitive to
movement across its detection pattern than to movement directly towards it.
