Registering the
motion sensor
This procedure is not required for
devices that were included as part of
a bundle.
Before you can use the motion sensor,
it must be registered to the hub.
If you purchased devices separately
(i.e., not as part of a bundle), you must
register each device to the hub.
You can register each device by using
the registration buttons or the [Home
Network] app.

Press and hold M OTHER
DEVICEN until the LED indicator
blinks slowly in green.
2Motion sensor:
Press and hold MN until the
LED indicator blinks slowly in
green (page 7).
RWhen registration is complete,
the hub sounds one long beep.
Note:
RTo cancel without registering the
sensor, press MN on the hub and
on the sensor again.
RIf registration fails, the hub sounds
several short beeps.
Using the app
When you register the motion sensor
by using the [Home Network] app, you
can assign a name to your devices and
group them by location. For more
information, refer to the User’s Guide
(page 14).
Information about
sensor features
The motion sensor utilises an infrared
sensor (i.e., heat sensor).
Please read the following information
before deciding where to install the
motion sensor.
Note:
RThe motion sensor’s sensor features
are not designed to be used in
situations that require high reliability.
We do not recommend use of the
motion sensor’s sensor features in
these situations.
RPanasonic takes no responsibility for
any injury or damage caused by the
use of the motion sensor.
Using heat to detect motion
The motion sensor’s infrared sensor
can detect motion by recognizing
temperature differences that occur
within the range of the sensor. It does
this by detecting the infrared rays that
are emitted naturally by people,
animals, etc., which correlate to the
object’s temperature. The detection
range is indicated in the illustration by
the grey area in front of the motion
sensor.

Distance of detectable motion:

Note:
RDetection becomes difficult when
there is little difference between the
temperatures of objects and the
surrounding environment, such as
during summer. Conversely,
detection becomes easier when
there is a large difference between
the temperatures of objects and the
surrounding environment, such as
during winter or at night.
RDetection does not occur when there
are obstacles in front of the infrared
sensor. Remove the obstacles or
change the installation location.
Direction of motion
It is easier to detect objects that move
sideways in front of the motion sensor,
and more difficult to detect objects that
move directly toward the front of the
motion sensor.

Confirming the
usage area
Wireless communication
range
The wireless communication range of
each device in the system from the hub
is approximately 50 m indoors and
approximately 300 m outdoors.
Wireless communication may be
unreliable when the following obstacles
are located between the hub and other
devices.
RMetal doors or screens
RWalls containing aluminium-sheet
insulation
RWalls made of concrete or
corrugated iron
RDouble-pane glass windows
RMultiple walls
RWhen using each device on
separate floors or in different
buildings
Note:
RYou can check the motion sensor’s
communication status by pressing
MN. If the LED indicator is lit in
green or red, the sensor is
communicating properly with the
hub. If the LED indicator blinks in
red, it is out of range of the hub.
Usage area cautions
Using the motion sensor in the
following areas may cause
deformation, malfunction, or
operational failure.
RIn direct sunlight
RAreas exposed to grease or steam,
such as kitchens
RNear fire or heating devices
RNear magnetic fields (such as near
microwaves and magnets)
RAreas subject to extreme
temperature changes, such as next
to air conditioners
RAreas with reflective objects, such
as glass, that can interfere with
detection of temperature variation
RAreas where the temperature is
affected by strong illuminating
objects (such as fluorescent lights)
RNear devices that emit strong radio
waves, such as mobile phones

Wall mounting
There are two methods for wall
mounting the motion sensor. To mount
the sensor flat against the wall, use the
rear cover. To mount the sensor so that
it faces 45° to the left or right, use the
wall mounting adaptor.

Note:
RMount the motion sensor on the
stable location where the motion
sensor can be adequately supported
when mounting.
RDo not mount motion sensor on a
soft material. It may fall down, break
or cause injury.
RDo not mount the motion sensor on
the following places: gypsum board,
ALC (autoclaved lightweight cellular
concrete), concrete block, plywood
less than 25.4 mm thick, etc.

Testing the motion
sensor
You can observe the motion sensor’s
LED indicator and test the performance
of the motion sensor.
1Press M N.
2Move to an area near the motion
sensor.
3While moving near the motion
sensor, observe the LED indicator.
RWhen motion is detected, the
LED indicator lights in red.
4Note the areas where movement
is detected.
5Press MN again.
Adjusting the sensor
sensitivity
You can use the MHIGHN/MLOWN switch
(page 7) to adjust the sensor’s
sensitivity. If the sensor often makes
incorrect detections, such as in areas
with frequent and substantial
temperature fluctuations, set the switch
to the MLOWN position.
Note:
RWhen the switch is in the MLOWN
position, the sensor detection range
is reduced by about half (compared
to when the switch is in the MHIGHN
position).
Features available
