User Manual

OverviewThe Wireless Motion Alert uses a Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensor to detect movement of people and vehicles, while allowing small animals to pass through undetected. The base station can be powered by 4 AA batteries for hours of continuous, wire-free operation or plugged in using the AC adapter.Model CWA2000Wireless Motion Alert1Base Station Passive Infra-Red (PIR) Motion SensorSwivel BushingMounting PlateAC AdapterRubber PadsSun/Rain Shield®Operation & FeaturesBatteries: The AA batteries (not provided) in the base station should last up to one month. If the base station batteries are low, it will beep every few minutes. The AA batteries (not included) in the PIR motion sensor will last up to 2 years depending on use (lithium batteries are recommended for colder environments). For peak performance, inspect batteries annually and replace as needed.Programming Additional PIR Motion Sensors: The Base Station can learn the code of up to 3 additional PIR Motion Sensors, responding with unique buzzes. To program additional PIR Motion Sensors see Step 6. To order additional PIR Motion Sensors call 1-800-528-9131.Clear Memory: Press and hold the Learn Button on the Base Station until 3 beeps are heard.On/Off: To turn the base station on and off, hold down the power button until you hear the on/off tone.Volume: The base station is equipped with adjustable volume controls. The lowest volume setting is the mute feature.To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution, outputs are suitable ONLY for controlling low voltage devices, 24V max, ac or dc.Carton InventoryAntennaOn/Off ButtonVolumeBase Station
2Test PIR Motion Sensor by waving hand in front of sensor. Test light should flash. Secure cover with the smallest screws.Insert battery pack facing away from circuit board and attach cover.NOTE: Ensure the batteries do not touch the circuit board and the antenna and battery wires are not pinched.PIR SensorAntennaSwitch #1:.Switch #2: ONOFF12Step 4Switch SettingsSwitch #1Switch #2Test ButtonOFF Low SensitivityON High Sensitivity (Default)OFF 15' Detection RangeON 30' Detection Range (Default)NOTE: To avoid unwanted detection of small animals move Switch #2 to OFF.Step 3PIR Motion Sensor Assembly & TestAttach PIR Motion Sensor box to mounting plate with large silver screw. Tighten screw until PIR Motion Sensor stays in place when repositioned.Install 4 AA Alkaline batteries (not provided). (Lithium batteries recommended for colder environments.) Test light will flash.Step 1Step 2
3Mount PIR Motion Sensor horizontally on solid surface a few feet off the ground and within 1/2 mile of Base Station (rotate sensor to access screw holes). Unit should be able to swivel as needed. Attach sun/rain shield.NOTE: Keep PIR Motion Sensor antenna away from metal objects. Do not mount PIR Motion Sensor in direct sunlight, near moving tree branches, or in the path of a sprinkler system.PIR Motion Sensor Installation3' - 5'10' - 20'Vehicle Alert Installation: For cars, the best mounting position is about 4' high, between 10-20' back, and angled to see the back of car after passing the sensor.Step 7Step 5Plug in Base Station. Adhere rubber pads to the bottom of the base. 4 AA batteries (not provided) are optional in case of a power failure.OPTIONALABProgramming PIR Motion Sensor to Base StationB Within 5 seconds, wave hand in front of PIR Motion Sensor. Test light will illuminate and Base Station will buzz.ABA Ensure Base Station and PIR Motion Sensor are in close proximity to each other. Press and release learn button on Base Station. Buzzer will sound.Step 6Learn ButtonAC Adapter Input

THERE ARE NO OTHER USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.Tested to Comply with FCC Standards FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.The PIR Motion Sensor lights up, but the Base Station does not respond.The PIR Motion Sensor must be programmed to Base Station (See Step 6). Ensure Base Station is on and is not muted.If the green power light is not lit or is flashing, press the Mute Button on the top of the Base Station to wake it up.If the green power is illuminated, look at the two small white Base Station switches next to the Learn Button. The #1 Dip Switch should be down, towards the circuit board. If it is up, the Base Station has been muted. If the Base Station signals when you press the Learn Button, it is not muted.The Alert is not getting expected transmission range.Keep both antennas vertical and keep PIR Motion Sensor antenna away from trees and metal objects. Ensure Base Station is in clearest possible sight of the PIR Motion Sensor. The less objects between the devices, the longer the range.PIR Motion Sensor is detecting motion only part of the time.To detect cars, it is best to mount PIR Motion Sensor at height of car’s motor and have it between ten and twenty feet from the road. Swivel sensor as needed.TroubleshootingThe Alert is giving false alarms.Check for moving tree branches or insects in sensor window. PIR sensor can also be triggered by light shining directly in sensor window, such as reflected sunlight, or motion in front of a light source.It is possible that condensation has built up on the sensor. Wipe condensation from PIR Motion Sensor with cotton swab. Let it sit inside for a few hours, open to the air, without the batteries and it should correct itself.Check Sensor Switches on PIR Motion Sensor. See Switch Settings.Base Station beeps every ten minutes.The battery in the Base Station is low. Replace with 4 AA batteries or operate it using AC Adapter.NOTE: Output switching capacity is low voltage (24V max, ac or dc).NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
