High Traffic Shutdown Mode
To prolong battery life, the motion detector uses a fea-
ture called High Traffic Shutdown. When motion is
detected, the device will transmit to the receiver and
will then shut down for three minutes. If motion is
detected again during the shutdown time, the unit
will not transmit the event to the receiver. The detec-
tor will thus remain in the shutdown mode until three
minutes after the first motion detected was transmit-
ted. The detector will transmit detected motion every
three minutes.
The High Traffic Shutdown Mode affects testing the
motion detector in two ways:
When performing the module placement test,
the unit must be tampered by removing the unit from
the backplate and replacing it. The placement test
cannot be performed by creating motion in front of
the device.
When performing a walk test, the unit must be left
idle for three minutes before testing can be performed.
Once three minutes has passed, create motion in front
of the detector to see if the device is both detecting
motion and transmitting to the receiver.
Motion Detector Transmission Delay
A motion detector transmission is always delayed by
six seconds. This is necessary to prevent false alarms
caused by a motion sensor transmitting before a delay
zone has a chance to report. This six-second delay
cannot be altered or disabled.
Walk Test Mode
The motion detector has a walk test mode which will
activate an LED for testing purposes. During normal
operation, the LED will not turn on.
To put the detector in walk test mode, create a tamper
by removing the detector from its backplate and then
replacing it. Each time the detector senses motion, it
will turn on the red LED. Five seconds after motion is
detected, the detector will send a signal to the
receiver, and the LED will flash rapidly 5 times. The
detector will be in walk test mode until it has sent 10
transmissions.
To verify the pet immunity of the detector place the ani-
mal(s) within the coverage area and then move out of the
zone. Encourage the pet to move around as it normally
would and ensure that it moves across the detection pat-
tern of the detector. Verify that no alarm is initiated.
To test for catch performance of humans, create
motion in the entire area where coverage is desired by
walking perpendicular to the lens pattern. Should the
coverage be incomplete, readjust or relocate the
detector.

NOTE: The Walk Test Mode will override the
High Traffic Shutdown Mode.

Battery Installation
• This system is designed to work with Eveready
Alkaline Energizer Batteries. Do not install any
other type. The reliability of the security system
depends on its batteries, and "no name" or
generic brand batteries may not provide the best
quality and dependability.
• Use fresh batteries. Most batteries have a 'best
before' date printed on their packaging or on the
batteries themselves. Buy batteries that have a
"best before" date of two years or more from your
purchase date.
• When disposing of used batteries, follow the
instructions and precautions printed on the batter-
ies. Many cities and communities have collection
sites or services for used household batteries. Con-
tact your municipal offices for information on the
disposal of used bat-
teries.
Remove the motion
detector from its mount-
ing plate by holding the
sensor by its sides and
pushing up. Install four
fresh Eveready Alkaline
Energizer AAA batteries.
Be sure to insert the bat-
teries in the proper orien-
tation. Replace the
sensor on its mounting
plate, making sure it
snaps into place. After all the batteries are installed,
the detector will take 60 seconds to warm up. During
this time the LED will flash slowly.
