Power
The Motion Sens or detects moti on
with one-m inute cool of f time.
Once motion i s detected, the
sensor will on ly start to dete ct
motion again af ter one minute.
The Motion Sen sor is more
sensitive in de tecting motio ns
crossing th e space in front of th e
sensor than th at moving towards
the sensor.
The Motion Sen sor can detect
motion occ urring at distan ces up
to 40 feet (12 meters) when it is
mounted at a heigh t of 7.9 feet
(2.4 meter s).
It is recomme nded to mount the
sensor at the height between
6.2 feet (1.9 meters) and 7.5 feet
(2.3 meters) for optimal dete ction
coverage.
For motion de tection of ba bies
or pets:
If you use the Moti on Sensor only
to detect the mot ion of babies or
pets, you can moun t the sensor
at a lower positio n to shorten
the minimum di stance before
reaching the d etection area . It is
recommend ed to mount it at the
height 3.3 feet (1 meter) for optimal
detection of b abies or pets.

We recommend you mo unt the magnet uni t on a
door, window, or medic ine cabinet, an d mount the
sensor unit on i ts respecti ve frame.
You can use the spacers pr ovided if there i s a
differenc e in level between th e door and the
frame. The space r will help to align yo ur sensor
to the correc t height. You can also use a s pacer
if the frame is too n arrow or has some de corative
molding.
NOTES
You can mount the sen sor unit with mounting t ape first,
and then use s crews later if you decide to mo unt it at
that locat ion for long term.
Make sure the mo unting surface is cle an. A textured
surface or any im perfections to a smoot h surface can
keep the mounti ng tape from making a strong bo nd.
Align the mag net unit with sensor uni t when mounting.
The distan ce between the sensor un it and magnet unit
must be less t han 1 cm (0.4 inch).
