Motion Sensor Installation Instructions
Step 1
Select the mounting location.
Mount at 7'6" / 2.3 m for optimal animal
immunity.
Step 5
Wire the sensor.
Observing the proper polarity, wire the unit as
shown (use 14-22 AWG). Push as much wire as
possible back into the wall when returning the PCB
to its housing.
Step 6
Walk-test the sensor.
Apply power to the sensor and let it warm up for
three minutes. Begin walk-test after the red LED
has stopped flashing.
Step 3
Remove the PCB.
Push down on the latch at the bottom of the
housing. Then gently pull the printed circuit board
(PCB) forward and up by the terminal strip.
Step 4
Mount the sensor.
Carefully break out appropriate mounting knock-
outs on the rear housing, and mount it in the
desired location.
Walk across the protected area at the ranges to
be covered. The red LED will indicate an alarm
condition after two to four normal steps. When
there is no motion in the protected area, the LED
will be off.

Summary

Installation Steps

Select the Mounting Location

Choose the optimal mounting height for animal immunity.

Separate Sensor Housings

Gently pull the sensor housings apart at the base.

Remove the PCB

Carefully remove the printed circuit board from the housing.

Mount the Sensor

Break out knock-outs and mount the rear housing.

Wire the Sensor

Wire the unit observing proper polarity, using 14-22 AWG wire.

Walk-Test the Sensor

Apply power, allow warm-up, then test the sensor's detection.

Sensor Operation and Supervision

Walk-Test Behavior

Sensor tracks motion; LED indicates alarm after 2-4 steps.

Supervision and Failure States

Red LED latches ON if microwave signals fail or system is not working.

Animal Immunity Guidelines

Mounting Height and Clearance

Mount at 7'6" and ensure animals stay 6' away.
