4. Selecting a Location
Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum performance.
See diagram A detailing detection range and direction.
Mounting height should be between 1m and 1.8m.
The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its field of vision than to
movement directly TOWARDS (see diagram B). Therefore position the unit so that
the sensor looks ACROSS the likely approach path.
Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any sources of heat in the detection
area (extractor fans, tumble dryer exhausts etc.) including opposite any other light
sources such as other security lights.
Reflective surfaces (ie pools of water or white-painted walls) and overhanging
branches may cause false activation under extreme conditions.
During extreme weather conditions the motion sensor may exhibit unusual
behaviour. This does not indicate a fault with the sensor. Once normal weather
conditions return, the sensor will resume normal operation.
