1. Features and Introduction
The Motion Sensor 869 is a passive infrared (PIR) based sensor which is designed to
detect movement in a room and transmit a radio signal to a Lifeline home unit or
other Tunstall Telecare enabled systems.
It has been specifically designed for care applications where it is important to avoid
detecting a user who may be on the floor following a fall (‘fall zone’ feature). This
means that, in the event of a fall, any small movements from the person who has
fallen on the floor are not picked up by the sensor, ensuring that an inactivity alarm
can be generated by the Lifeline home unit or other Tunstall Telecare enabled
system.
The device’s features include:
•‘Walk test’ mode
•‘Auto low battery’ mode
•‘Auto presence’ mode
•Low current consumption
•‘Fall zone’ feature as standard
•5.0m range
•Easily changeable battery

Your Motion Sensor 869
The Motion Sensor 869 can be used to alert a 24 hour monitoring centre if it detects
activity when no activity is expected, or if no activity is detected for a period of time,
when used in conjunction with a Lifeline home unit or other Tunstall Telecare
enabled systems.

2 x Hook and Loop Pads
How to Install
The Motion Sensor 869 can be fixed to one flat wall or into the corner of two
adjoining walls at a mounting height of 1.0m to 1.5m (dependent on the height of
the user). The sensor should be positioned so that the beam is pointing at the user’s
chest as shown in Fig.1. The fixing height is important for the ‘fall zone’ functionality
described on page 3, and this should be tested using the ‘walk test’ function detailed
on page 8 to ensure that the user’s movement is detected.
The sensor should be positioned to ensure that the beam is not impeded by any
furniture in the room as shown in Fig.2. Depending upon the construction of the
wall, the sensor can be fitted using either hook and loop pads or screws and wall
plugs. For the latter method, take into consideration any pipes that may be installed
within the walls (screws and wall plugs are not supplied).
1. Remove the front cover from the Motion Sensor 869.
2. Choose the most appropriate method of installation for the proposed location of
the sensor. If mounting in a corner position, screws and wall plugs should be
used.
3. Fix the sensor to the wall. If using screws, ensure that the appropriate holes are
used.
4. Fit the battery into the sensor, carefully observing the correct polarity.
5. Carry out a walk test (see page 8) to ensure that the sensor has been installed in
the optimum position to detect the desired movement whilst minimising false
activations.
6. Replace the front cover.

7. After three minutes have passed, the sensor will exit ‘walk test’ mode. Once the
sensor has returned to normal operation, the red LED will no longer illuminate
upon detection of movement.
Tunstall recommend that the Motion Sensor 869 is installed in a position which is
away from:
•Direct sunlight
•Fans or air conditioning units
•Vapour or high humidity which may cause condensation
•Curtains, blinds or screens
•Fluorescent lights
•Unstable locations prone to vibrations or shocks
•Heat sources such as radiators
•Any furniture which may block the sensor detection beam.
The sensor should be installed in an indoor location and should not be aimed
towards equipment or outside areas where frequent movement could be detected.

3. Connecting the Motion Sensor 869 to the Tunstall Home
Unit
The Motion Sensor 869 can be assigned using ‘plug and play’ programming. This is
achieved by placing the Tunstall home unit in ‘radio trigger assign’ mode and then
generating a radio transmission from the Motion Sensor.
1. Press and hold the ‘cancel’ button on the Tunstall home unit until it beeps (some
units will announce ‘programming mode’), then release the ‘cancel’ button.
2. Press and hold the ‘cancel’ button again until the Tunstall home unit beeps, then
release the ‘cancel’ button.
3. Remove the front cover and press and hold the ‘function’ button on the Motion
Sensor until a solid red LED is displayed. Continue to press the ‘function’ button
for approximately three seconds until the red LED turns off, and then release the
button.
4. Activate the Motion Sensor by moving in front of the lens. When in ‘walk test’
mode, the red LED on the sensor will flash to confirm that movement has been
detected and a radio transmission has been sent to the Tunstall home unit.
5. The Tunstall home unit should beep to confirm that the Motion Sensor has been
programmed to the unit (some units will announce ‘PIR’ verbally to confirm the
programming was successful).
The Motion Sensor will remain in ‘walk test’ mode for three minutes after powering
up. To restart ‘walk test’ mode, follow the instructions detailed on page 8.

4. Modes of Use
Walk Test Mode
In order to ensure that the Motion Sensor 869 has been mounted in the optimum
position to detect movement whilst minimising false activations, it is recommended
that a walk test is undertaken. This is achieved by placing the sensor in ‘walk test’
mode and then asking the end user to move in front of the lens, to ensure that they
are detected. The red LED will illuminate upon detection of movement.
To activate ‘walk test’ mode:
1. Press and hold the ‘function’ button until a solid red LED is displayed.
2. Continue to press the ‘function’ button for approximately three seconds until the
red LED turns off.
3. Release the ‘function’ button. The Motion Sensor 869 is now in ‘walk test’ mode,
which will be active for three minutes. The timer will not be reset if the sensor
detects movement during this time.
4. Ask the user to walk in front of the sensor. The detection beam should be
pointing at the chest area for optimal detection.
5. Once the user’s movement has been detected, they should move away from the
sensor for three minutes so that the sensor will revert to its normal operation
mode.
Fall Zone
The ‘fall zone’ feature is designed to ignore activity if the user has fallen on the floor
and is moving around, therefore disregarding any activity that might suggest that all
is well in the user’s home and ensuring that alarm calls are raised.
To achieve this, the sensor must be positioned at a minimum of 1.0m high from the
floor.
The ‘fall zone’ feature also reduces the likelihood of pets generating false alarms
when being used in wellbeing scenarios for activity monitoring.

Auto Low Battery (ALB) and Auto Presence (AP) Mode Overview
Auto Low Battery Mode
When the battery is low, the monitoring centre will be automatically notified of this
by the Motion Sensor 869. The battery should be replaced within two weeks of
receiving an ‘ALB’ warning. The warning will be issued every seven days until the
battery has run out.
Auto Presence Mode (Heartbeat)
On supporting Tunstall systems, this mode carries out additional checks to provide
reassurance that the Motion Sensor 869 is functioning correctly. When ‘AP’ mode is
active, the Motion Sensor sends a signal to the Tunstall unit every four hours,
effectively acting as a heartbeat. An ‘AP failure’ message will be raised to the
monitoring centre if the Tunstall unit has not seen eighteen consecutive ‘AP’
messages. ‘AP failure’ alarms will be continually generated if sensors are removed
from the property when in ‘AP’ mode and are not deleted.
Note: The default setting for the Motion Sensor 869 is ‘ALB’ mode.
Auto Low Battery (ALB) and Auto Presence (AP) Configuration Mode
1. Ensure that the Motion Sensor 869 is not in ‘walk test’ mode.
2. Press and hold the ‘function’ button until a solid red LED is displayed.
3. Continue to press the ‘function’ button until the LED flashes to indicate the
current ‘AP’/‘ALB’ state. A fast red LED flash rate indicates ‘AP’ mode, and a slow
red LED flash rate indicates ‘ALB’ mode.
4. Briefly press the ‘function’ button whilst the red LED is flashing to toggle the
‘AP’/‘ALB’ state.
5. To save the new ‘AP’/‘ALB’ state, do not press the ‘function’ button for ten
seconds.
