1. DESCRIPTION OF THE INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL
•Open the battery
compartment at the
back of the remote
control;
•Insert two AAA batteries
supplied with the remote
control as shown beside;
•Close the batteries
compartment.
Remark: For optimum results point the remote control at the sensor before
pressing its buttons.
2. CONFIGURATION OF THE SENSOR
Each setting change using the infrared remote control must start with an unlocking and end with a locking
of the sensor. It is important to point out that any parameters changed using the remote control
supersede any previous setting.
The table below lists all the parameters, which can be adjusted with the remote control as well as the
operations, required to adjust them.
PARAMETER
KEY USER'S ACTIONS FACTORY SETTING LED SIGNAL
UNLOCK
Press the UNLOCK Key (3).
Enter your four-digit access code using NUMBER Keys 0-9 (1).
During the first sensor adjustment or if the access code is reset
to the ‘0000’ value (factory setting) or during the first minute
after the power-on, press only the UNLOCK Key (3) (no code
required).
UNLOCK with code UNLOCK without code
0000 The red LED flashes quickly waiting
for the access code.
After entering the correct code or if
no code is required, the red LED
flashes slowly to indicate that the
unlock is successful and the
adjustment session has begun.
NOTE: = Adjustment session ON
LOCK
When all the parameters have been set, press
the LOCK Key (10).
If you wish to enter a new access code, use NUMBER Keys
0-9 (1) to enter the new four-figure code within 20 seconds.
If no access code is entered or if you want to keep the current
access code, press the LOCK Key (10) once more.
If no remote control key is pressed within 1 minute, the
adjustment session is automatically locked.
Pressing the LOCK Key (10) twice within the first minute after
the power-on reset automatically the access code to 0000
value.
LOCK with code change LOCK without code or

KEY USER'S ACTIONS
CHECK
VALUES
Press the Key (5,6,7,8,11) corresponding to the parameter to be checked and then press the CHECK VALUES Key
(9).
Count the number of times the green LED flashes, which correspond to the value of the checked parameter. No
green LED flash corresponds to the value 0.
Repeat this operation to check the value of the other parameters if required.
Example: SENSITIVITY Key (6) – 7 flashes of the green LED: the sensitivity is set at the value 7.
CHECK VALUES:
PLUS
Press the Key (5 or 6) corresponding to the hold time or sensitivity parameter to be modified
and then press the PLUS Key (2) to increase the value by 1 unit.
PLUS:
MINUS
Press the Key (5 or 6) corresponding to the hold time or sensitivity parameter to be modified.
and then press the MINUS Key (4) to reduce the value by 1 unit.
MINUS:
During a sensor adjustment session all the parameters may be reset to their factory values in the following way:
