Setting up for Initial Operation
The simplest mode in which to use the module is “Hardware Mode”. In this mode the sensitivity, ambient light
level and LED ‘On” time are all adjusted using the controls on the Base Board. There are a few simple steps
needed to start using the kit in Hardware Mode:
Step 1: Unpack the hardware components
Step 2: Insert the ZMOTION Detection Module into the Base Board
Step 3: Install the correct AC adapter into the universal supply
Step 4: Ensure the jumpers, switches and potentiometers on the base board are in the correct positions
Step 5: Apply power
Step 6: Demonstrate - Wait about 30 seconds (possibly less), generate motion in front of the module
and look for the blue LED to turn on

Step 1: Unpacking the Hardware
Remove the ZMOTION Base Board, ZMOTION Module and Power Supply from their protective bags. ESD
precautions must be used when handling the ZMOTION Base Board and the ZMOTION Module.
Step 2: Insert ZMOTION Detection Module into Base Board
The ZMOTION Detection Module should be inserted into J4 of the Base Board ensuring pin 1 is aligned
correctly (indicated by a square silkscreen on the J4 connector).

Step 3: Install the AC Plug Adapter
The universal power supply kit features four different plug adapters in one box and the power supply by itself
in another. The power supply ships with a slide-out plate that must be removed to insert the location-specific
plug adapter.
Follow the steps below to install the location specific adapter.
1. Remove the slide-out plate.
2. Select the appropriate AC plug adapter and insert it into the slot that remains after removing the slide-out
plate.
3. Slide the new plug adapter into the slot until it snaps into place.
You may also leave the adapter slot cover in place and plug in a standard computer equipment AC power cord
(purchased separately) between the AC cord receptacle on the end of the power supply and an electrical outlet.

Step 4: Ensure Jumpers, Switches and Pot’s are Configured Correctly
Ensure that the base board is configured as shown in the following table.
H/W Mode Demonstration Settings:
Component Status
SW1 Hardware
J7 – PA1/ANA3 AMBIENT (ON on shunted)
J11 – STATE RUN (OFF or un-shunted)
R3 – SENS Set mid-way
R4 – DELAY Turned all the way to “-“
R6 – AMBIENT Turned all the way to “-“ or “Light”
Step 5: Apply Power
Connect the power supply to the evaluation board at P2, then to an electrical outlet. Ensure that the green LED
(D2) comes on.
Step 6: Demonstrate
After no more than about 30 seconds, generate motion in front of ZMOTIONTM Detection Module and notice
the blue LED D1 to flash ON for about 2 seconds.
Adjust R3 (Sense) to change the sensitivity to motion
Adjust R4 (Delay) to change the time that the LED stays on
Adjust R6 (Ambient) to change the amount of ambient light allowed to stop the LED from turning on
