In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the
sensor’s code must match with the receiver’s code. Code connectors 1
to 6 can be found by opening the battery cover of the sensor and the
back cover of the receiver. User is required to set these code connectors
randomly and the code settings on the sensor and receiver must be the
same. Each position of the code connector can be set to “+”, “-” or “0”
position. Refer to the diagram below to set the code
connectors properly. If the connector is
placed on the top and middle posts, that
column is set on “ + ”. If the connector is
placed on the middle and bottom posts,
that column is set on “ - ”. If the connector
is removed completely, (not placed on any
posts), it is set to “ 0 ”. (see diagram for
examples of how to set a column to the
three different positions).

1. INTRODUCTION

Motion Alert

Model HA-318

The Motion Alert is designed to monitor movement around your house.
The motion sensor can be placed either indoor or outdoor. Once motion
is detected, the receiver will beep & flash.

In this package, you should find an Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor, a
Household Alert

®

Receiver, an adapter, ball-head joint, screws and a

clip.

Please follow the instructions below to setup your motion sensor and
the receiver.

Code Connectors on Motion Sensor

Each receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors (to represent 4
different zones on the receiver). There are 2 connectors that determine
the zone number 1, 2, 3 and 4. These 2 connectors can be found by
opening the battery cover. Please follow table 1 to set the zone.

2. ZONE CONNECTORS

After setting up all the connectors properly, both units are now ready to be
powered up.

Insert a 9V alkaline battery (not included) to the motion sensor and its
LED will be on for 2 seconds. The receiver will beep and red LED flash.
The sensor requires a warm up time of approx. 45 seconds before it
can function properly. After powering up the sensor, face it to the wall
where no motion will be detected. After 45 seconds, the sensor is
ready. Wave your hand in front of the sensor, the receiver will beep and
red LED will flash for approx. 15 seconds.

Plug in the adapter to the receiver, the green LED will start flashing
indicating the receiver unit is powered up but no sensor is detected.

The sensitivity of the motion sensor is adjustable. Change the setting by
placing the connector on either the ”High” or “Low” position. When the
sensitivity is set to “Low”, more movement is required to trigger the
sensor. It is recommended to set the sensitivity to “Low” and perform a
“Walk Test” (Read below - “Walk Test”). If the walk test result is satisfied,
the sensitivity does not require to be
adjusted further. If the walk test result
shows the sensitivity is too low, then
you can change the sensitivity setting
to “High”. Please perform the walk test
after changing the sensitivity setting.

“+” in the table means the connec tor for that position should be placed on
the posts.
“-“ in the table means the connector for that position should be removed.

A ball-head joint is necessary to mount the sensor at a desire location.
A height of 5-6 ft is recommended, depending on your application. Once
a location is selected, mount the ball-head joint to this location by screws
provided, (see diagram 1). Once the ball-head joint is mounted to the
wall, slide the back of the sensor into the ball-head joint (see diagram 2).
The mounting angle can be adjusted. Please read below - “Walk Test” to
determine the best mounting angle.

3. MOUNTING

Diagram 1

Diagram 2

After mounting the sensor at the desired location, it is
important to perform a walk test in order to determine
if the sensor is detecting the things you want to detect.

In order to control how far the sensor can “see”, this can be done by
adjusting the angle of the sensor. To reduce the detection range, simply
move the sensor downward. To increase the range, move the sensor
up to around 12 degrees. This will give the maximum range. However,
this may not be desired if the sensor is placed outdoors, since

a false

trigger may occur if the sensor is set to detect motion in a distance.
