Motion Sensor F.A.Q.'S
Q. I bought a new Sensor and the Control Center will
not recognize it. Why?
A. First, make sure that the battery is new and has
been correctly attached to the terminals. Confirm that
the Sensor has been correctly assigned to a Zone.
Q. I put the Sensor on Zone 4 and it will not set off the
alarm. Why?
A. Zone 4 is a Dedicated Alert Zone and is designed
to monitor Sensors in this Zone. It will only issue an
alert (LED will flash, continuous beeping will be heard).
Sensors in Zone 4 will not set off the alarm. Use Zone
4 for water Sensors, garage doors, gates, sheds or
other areas you want to monitor (i.e. areas you want
to be alerted if there is a problem, but do not want the
alarm to sound).
Q. I erased a Sensor from a Zone and now all of my
other Sensors in that Zone will not work. Why?
A. The system can only erase entire Zones. You will
need to add the other Sensors back in that Zone to the
Control Center again.
Q. I put the Sensor in a Zone (1, 2, 3) and it will not
sound in any Alert modes. Why?
A. The Motion Sensor only functions as an Alarm
Sensor in Zones 1, 2, 3. It will not activate a chime,
visual or audio alert. An Alert in Zone 4 only, but will
not activate the alarm.
Q. How can I tell if the Sensor is working?
A. Each Sensor has an LED that indicates the Sensor
is operating (flashes when triggered). However if
the battery is to weak, the signal may not reach the
