Introduction
Your Motion Detector can operate with Decor and Premium portable chimes with E
compatibility to provide an audible warning when movement is detected. Alternatively
it can contol lighting in conjuction with a wireless switching receiver; may not be
available in all markets. A built in Dusk/Dawn sensor can be adjusted to prevent
movement from activating light during daylight or alternatively if working with a Chime
it will prevent movement activating the Chime during the night. The Motion Detector
is suitable for mounting outdoors.

Installation Instructions
69-2157EFS—05 2
No Wires! There is no physical wiring connection between the Motion Detector and
Receiver or Chime. Instead, the system uses radio technology to provide the link
which makes installation even quicker and allows the Motion Detector to be located
remotely at the most appropriate position for the area being monitored. To prevent
interference from other devices the Motion Detector is coded with a unique identifica-
tion code that can be easily learned by the receiver or Chime.
The Motion Detector is compatible with Decor and premium portable chimes, with
compatibility symbol ‘E’. It is also compatible with the wireless switching receiver for
lighting control, available in certain markets.

ladders etc. and wear suitable protec-
tiveequipment(e.g.safetygoggles)
when drilling holes etc.

Device Range
Thequotedrangeofthesystemismeasuredinidealconditions.Anybarrier(e.g.
walls/ceilingsaluminiumreinforcedUPVCwindowsandmetallicpartsofhousestruc-
turesetc)betweenthedetectorandreceiverwillreducetheeffectiveradiorangeby
an amount dependant upon the construction of and number of barriers between the
detector and receiver.
In extreme cases where metal barriers are involved then it is possible for the signal to
be blocked out completely.
While the majority of installations are not adversely affected, you may have to experi-
ment a little to discover the best location for your detector and Receiver Unit.

Installing the Motion Detector
Positioning the Motion Detector
• PlacethedetectorwithinrangeoftheReceiver,takingintoconsiderationany
reductioninthemaximumrange(rangedependsontypesofreceiversused)
caused by any objects in between. Avoid mounting the unit on or near large
metal objects.
• Therecommendedmountingheightforthedetectoris8ft.Atthisheight,the
motion detector will have a range of approximately 40 ft. Mounting the detector
higher will increase the detection range but it will be less sensitive to movement
at the extreme range and also may not be able to detect movement very close to
it. Tilting the detector head up and down will have the same effect.
• Mountthedetectoronafirmstablesurfacewherethelogicalpathofaperson
would cut across the detection pattern. The detector is more sensitive to
movement across its detection pattern than to movement directly towards it.

• Avoidpositioningthedetectorwherethereareanyheatsourcesinthedetection
area(e.g.heatingortumbledrierexhaustventsetc.).Alsoavoidhighlyreflective
surfaces or hanging branches in the detection area as these can cause false
activation in some weather conditions.

Installing the Motion Detector
NOTE:Beforefixingthemotiondetectorunittothemountingsurface,itisadvisable
tocheckthatthesystemworkscorrectly(i.e.thatthedetectorandreceiverarewithin
radiorangeofeachother)bytemporarilyoperatingthemotiondetectorinthechosen
location.
• Openthedetectorbyinsertingaflatbladed
screwdriver into the slot at the base of the unit
and pushing gently to release the catch and to
allow the front cover to be opened.
• SettheDay/Nightoperationswitchaccordingto
whether you wish the detector to work with chime
or switching receiver. To work with chime, set the
switch to Day, to work with switching receiver, set
theswitchtoNight.

NOTE: When the battery is connected the LED behind the detector lens will continu-
ouslyflashorstayONwhilethedetectorgoesthroughits
warm up cycle. The unit will not operate normally until the
LED stops flashing.
• Fixtheunitinplaceonthewallandthenclosethe

Motion Detector Walk Test
IMPORTANT:BeforecommencingwalktestensuretheLEDindicatorbehindthe
detector lens is not flashing continuously. If it is wait until the detector has completed
its warm-up cycle and the flashing stops.
ConfigurethedetectorforwalktestingaccordingtotheselectedDayorNightoperat-
ing mode as follows:
1) SettheTIMEcontrolfullycounter-clockwisetoitsminimumsetting.
2) IfthedetectorissettoDAYoperation(forusewithachime),adjusttheDUSK
control fully counter-clockwise to its minimum setting. If the detector is set to
NIGHToperation(forusewithlighting)adjusttheDUSKcontrolfullyclockwiseto
its maximum setting.

Slowly walk across the detection area approximately 15 ft. from the unit. As you cross
a detection zone and your movement is detected a small red indicator behind the
lens will illuminate for a few seconds. Stand still until the indicator goes out after a
few seconds. Continue moving around at various distances and angles to the unit,
stopping each time the indicator illuminates, until you have established the detec-
tion area. If the detector has already been linked to the Switching Receiver or Chime
when the Walk test is performed then the lights will illuminate
for approximately 5 seconds or the Chime will sound each time
movement is detected.
Adjust the position of the detector head to obtain approxi-
mately the desired detection area as required. Angling the
detector head downwards will reduce the range and produce a
smaller coverage area. Angling the head upwards will increase
the range and produce a larger coverage area. If necessary the
detection area can also be reduced by masking the detection
window(seepage13).

Linking the Detector to a Chime or Switching Receiver
The detector has a unique identification code that prevents inadvertent and unwanted
interference from other products operating in the area. In order for movement detect-
ed by the detector to trigger the lights or Chime this code needs to be learned by
either the Switching Receiver or Chime Unit.
Learn Mode Motion Detector
To enable your chime to learn the identity of your detector:
• Pressthelprogramming button and keep it pressed. Each Icon will light in
turn. When the Icon you want is lit, release the button.
• WhiletheIconyouhaveselectedislit,operateyourDetector.Thechimewill
sound. The Icon will flash.

Unlearn Procedure
If you want to remove a detector from the chime’s memory:
• Pressthelprogramming button and keep it pressed. Each Icon will light in
turn. When the Icon associated with the detector to be unlearned is lit, release
the button.
• Pressandholddownbothland buttons until a ‘beep’ sound is heard.
Please refer to your instruction manual supplied with the Switching Receiver or Chime
for the procedure to do this. At the appropriate point you will have to trigger the
detector by walking in front of it so that it detects your movement.

Masking the Motion Detector Window
To prevent movement detection in unwanted areas or to shield off shrubs etc. which
can cause false activation in the wind, the detection area may be reduced by masking
off sections of the lens using either the window mask curtain provided or electrical
insulation tape. To discover how much screening is needed, first obscure the detec-
tor’s lens with insulation tape, progressively covering more of
the lens until the required detection area is achieved. The top
half of the motion detector lens deals with long-range detec-
tion, the bottom half is for short range. Then simply cut a piece
of the plastic window masking curtain to cover the same area
asthetape.Removethetapefromthelens(ensuringthatany
adhesiveresidueisremoved)andclipthecutmaskingcurtain
into the window recess.
Alternatively, the motion detector can be re-positioned in a
more suitable location.

Motion Detector Low Battery Indication
The9Vbatteryshouldoperatethedetectorforapproximately12monthsdepend-
ing on the number of activations each day and the effect of low temperatures. When
thebatteryisnearingtheendofitslife(about30daysbeforefailure),thelowbattery
status will be indicated by the red LED behind the detector lens flashing 5 times after
movement is detected. You should change the battery in the detector as soon as you
notice the low battery signal or if the detector stops working altogether.
Testing:
ThesystemmaybetestedbyplacingthedetectorintoWalkTest,(see“Motion
DetectorWalkTest”).
