SET THE DETECTION LENGTH 
Note: The length of the lower detection area determines the detection length. 
The upper detection area stays parallel to the ground at all times.  The lower detection area can be adjusted by the Detection Length 
Adjustment Switch as shown below. 
Detection length is therefore limited by the length of the lower detection area since both upper and lower areas have to be blocked at the same 
time to activate the sensor.  
IMPORTANT: 
  This sensor detects temperature differences between the moving object and the background temperature in the detection area to produce a 
valid detection.  
  If the object does not move, the sensor will not detect it. 
  If there is traffic near the detection area, adjust the detection area length 1.5 to 2.0m (5 to 7ft) back from traffic.

NOTES: 
•  This table is based on a motion sensor 
height of 1m (3.3ft) 
•  The height of the motion sensor will 
effect the detection length.  In addition, 
the detection length may vary due to 
environmental conditions.
