NOTICE: To comply with FCC and or Industry Canada rules (IC), adjustment or modifications of this
receiver and/or transmitter are prohibited, except for changing the code setting or replacing the battery.
THERE ARE NO OTHER USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
Tested to Comply with FCC Standards FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The PIR Motion Sensor lights up, but the Base
Station does not respond.
The PIR Motion Sensor must be programmed to Base
Station (See Step 6).
Ensure Base Station is on and is not muted.
If the green power light is not lit or is flashing, press
the Mute Button on the top of the Base Station to wake
it up.
If the green power is illuminated, look at the two small
white Base Station switches next to the Learn Button.
The #1 Dip Switch should be down, towards the circuit
board. If it is up, the Base Station has been muted. If the
Base Station signals when you press the Learn Button,
it is not muted.
The Alert is not getting expected transmission
range.
Keep both antennas vertical and keep PIR Motion
Sensor antenna away from trees and metal objects.
Ensure Base Station is in clearest possible sight of the
PIR Motion Sensor. The less objects between the
devices, the longer the range.
PIR Motion Sensor is detecting motion only part of
the time.
To detect cars, it is best to mount PIR Motion Sensor at
height of car’s motor and have it between ten and
twenty feet from the road. Swivel sensor as needed.
Troubleshooting
The Alert is giving false alarms.
Check for moving tree branches or insects in sensor
window. PIR sensor can also be triggered by light
shining directly in sensor window, such as reflected
sunlight, or motion in front of a light source.
It is possible that condensation has built up on the
sensor. Wipe condensation from PIR Motion Sensor with
cotton swab. Let it sit inside for a few hours, open to the
air, without the batteries and it should correct itself.
Check Sensor Switches on PIR Motion Sensor. See
Switch Settings.
Base Station beeps every ten minutes.
The battery in the Base Station is low. Replace with
9-Volt battery or operate it using AC Adapter.
Base Station is not very loud.
Adjust the volume of speaker. An accessory such as a
low voltage doorbell, buzzer or light can be attached to
the relay switch. The accessory device will need a
separate power supply.
NOTE: Output switching capacity is low voltage
(24V max, ac or dc).
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio
or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications
to this equipment. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
