1. Selecting A Location

How large an area will sensor detect?
When mounted at the recommended height of 2 to 3 metres, the detection pattern extends out about 6 to
10 metres and is 120°wide. To reduce coverage, aim the detector toward the ground.
Do Not Locate:
- On pole or tree that sways in wind.
Movement triggers sensor.
-
Where movement is directly toward sensor.
To Avoid Nuisance Triggering
Your motion sensor may be activated by large animals, lights, reflective surfaces, heat sources or
movement of objects.
The following guidelines will help you avoid nuisance triggering.
- Do not aim the sensor toward lights of any kind.
- If installing the sensor in tandem with a light(s), mount the sensor module below the light(s).
- Avoid mounting the sensor near heat sources, such as heating vents, air conditioners, dryer vents or
lights.
- Avoid aiming the sensor toward objects which may move in the wind, such as bushes or open air
hanging ornaments.
- Avoid directing the sensor toward areas or objects whose surfaces are highly reflective or are subject
to rapid temperature change, eg. pools.
Although the sensor is weather-resistant, locate it under cover so that driving rain or snow will not hit the
lens of sensor.
