4. Selecting a Location
The motion detector has a number of detection zones, at various vertical and
horizontal angles as shown (see diagram A).
A moving human body needs to cross/enter one of these zones to activate the
sensor. The best all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted at the
optimum height of 3m.
Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum performance.
See diagram A detailing detection range and direction.
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.
