User Manual

Carton InventoryOverviewThe Wireless Alert Sensor is a Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensor that detects movement of people and vehicles, while allowing small animals to pass through undetected. Each sensor has its own unique ID, for a secure radio link. The base station (not provided) can learn the signals of up to 4 sensors. The base station gives a single beep for the first sensor that is programmed, a double beep for the second, and so on. Additionally, multiple base stations can work with the same sensor to sound in different places.PIR Motion Sensor Assembly & TestStep 1Attach PIR Motion Sensor box to mounting plate with large silver screw. Tighten screw until PIR Motion Sensor stays in place when repositioned.Model CWPIRWireless Motion Alert SensorPassive Infra-Red (PIR) Motion Sensor1Swivel BushingMounting PlateSun/Rain Shield®PIR SensorAntennaSwitch SettingsStep 2Install 4 AA Alkaline batteries (not provided).

2Step 5Programming PIR Motion Sensor to Base StationTest 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.Step 4B Within 5 seconds, wave hand in front of PIR Motion Sensor. Test light will illuminate and Base Station will buzz.A 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 6PIR Motion Sensor InstallationMount PIR Motion Sensor horizontally on solid surface a few feet off the ground and within 900' 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.Step 3ABLearn Button
TroubleshootingThe PIR Motion Sensor lights up, but the Base Station does not respond.The PIR Motion Sensor must be programmed to Base Station (See Step 5). 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.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.The 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.3Base Station beeps every ten minutes.The batteries in the Base Station are low. Replace with 4 AA batteries or operate it using AC Adapter.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.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.3' - 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.
