AL101-TX 3 FEATURES30ft Detection Zone NoticationThe adjustable sensor can detect movement close up and even as far as 30ft away. With no wires involved, set up is simple and you can rest assured that the signal between your receiver and motion sensor will remain strong up to 500ft away.1Weather Resistant for Outdoor Use Feel free to place the motion sensor outside in your driveway or in a restricted parking lot all year round as the motion sensor is made out of weather resistant material that can withstand wind, rain and even snow.2Adjustable SensitivitySelect your sensitivity level based on where your motion sensor is located. Choose to be alerted only by approaching automobiles or increase the sensitivity to include approaching pedestrians. Go Completely Wireless with BatteriesConveniently, this wireless driveway alert was designed to conserve battery life–in some cases you won’t have to replace batteries for over 6 months.3 When the motion sensor battery is low, the hand held receiver will alert you so you will always be protected. Expandable Up to 3 SensorsEnsure that all areas of your property are secure by adding additional motion sensors. The receiver will notify you when motion is detected for up to three entrances or areas, and indicates which sensor is in alarm.424/7 Lifetime Live Customer SupportOur customer support team can be reached by phone 24/7 or by email and live web chat services, so you always have access to an expert.Disclaimers1. Optimum range is 250ft when signal is passing through walls or oors. Microwave ovens (when in use) may cause signal disruption at close range. Buildings with metal frames may also cause signal disruption. Maximum transmission range is 500ft. Motion sensor has multiple detection settings that aect the maximum distance and sensitivity of the unit.2. Although the motion sensor is weather resistant, please note that it is not weather proof – Do not install in areas that receive a lot of direct rain and/or snow. 3. Battery life of motion sensor is 6-12 months based on tests of daily moderate use (10 times/day). Battery life may vary depending on usage. 4.

AL101-TX 5 Powering On the Motion SensorThe motion sensor requires 4 AA batteries to operate. Please see instructions on how to install batteries and mountyour motion sensor properly.• Once you have successfully installed the batteries in the motion sensor, the sensor will start up automatically, please allow 60 seconds for the unit to initialize before it will begin sensing motion and sending signals• It will be necessary to pair the motion sensor and the receiver before any alarms are received (see Pairing the Devices below) Installing Batteries in the Sensor UnitThis unit requires 4 AA batteries to operate. The unit is designed to operate on batteries for 6 months or longer before they will need to be replaced. This length of time could be shortened somewhat if you have a larger than average amount of alarms set o every day.1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the sensor unit using a small phillips head screwdriver.2. Install 4 AA batteries.3. While you have the compartment cover o, you should adjust the sensitivity to your needs, (see Setting the Sensor Sensitivity on Page 6) and pair the sensor to the proper zone, if you have not already done so (see Pairing the Devices below).4. Replace the battery compartment cover.Pairing the DevicesThe sensor must be paired with a receiver before the sensor can send alerts.1. Power on both units, press the pair button on the right side of the receiver.2. The receiver will beep once and the rst zone LED will blink. Choose which sensor you would like to monitor zone 1, and press the pair button inside the battery compartment of that sensor unit.3. The receiver unit will beep twice and the chosen zone LED will stop ashing when the units have been paired.4. To connect additional sensors, press the pair button on the receiver and choose a zone by pressing one of the zone buttons. The zone button will begin blinking. Press the pair button inside the battery compartment of the sensor you wish to pair.5. The receiver unit will beep twice and the chosen zone LED will stop ashing when the units have been paired.6. If you are nished pairing the devices you can press the power button on the receiver to exit pair mode.7. Always test that the system will receive alerts before installing the sensor unit by waving your hand or walking past it until you receive an alert.Pair ButtonsSensor Receiver (Not Included)OPERATIONAL101-TX manual.indd 5 13/12/2010 3:11:58 PM
AL101-TX 6 Setting the Sensor SensitivityAdjusting the sensor’s sensitivity will be necessary depending on how far you are mounting the unit from the areabeing monitored. You will also need to adjust the sensitivity if you are getting false alarms, or missing alarms. 1. Remove the battery compartment cover. The sensitivity control is the black switch on the top right side of the inside of the compartment.2. Flip the switch to the left to adjust the sensitivity to the low (15ft) setting.3. Flip the switch to the right to adjust the sensitivity to the high (30ft) setting.4. Replace the battery compartment cover. Installation RecommendationsBefore installing the sensor unit there are several things you should consider:• This system is water resistant, not waterproof. Installing it in an area where it is under an awning or covering is necessary• Choosing the sensitivity level, either 15 feet or 30 feet, depending on where the sensor will be mounted, the sensor will detect objects within a 30° angle • Where the sensor will be placed; must be within a 500 foot line of sight range from the receiverHanging the Sensor UnitYou will need an object such as a post or tree to screw the hanging clip to.1. Screw the hanging clip to the post using 3 screws.2. Once you have the hanging clip secured to the post, hang the sensor unit by rst placing the at edge under the plastic loop on the battery compartment cover. Then clip the bottom of the hanging clip around the bottom of the sensor unit.3. Fasten the sensor to the bottom of the hanging clip using the included screw and a phillips head screwdriver.4. Once you have hung the sensor it is important to test its location to ensure you have the proper sensitivity set.INSTALLATIONPlastic LoopHanging ClipOPERATIONAL101-TX manual.indd 6 13/12/2010 3:12:00 PM
