Troubleshooting
● The PIR Motion Sensor operates, but the base station does not respond.
a.Check whether the BASE stations power supply is working properly. Are the base station and sensor paired? If not paired, pair the base station and sensor.
b.The distance between the sensor and the base station is too far, and the sensor signal may not be transmitted back to the base station (the working distance is 800 meters in an open environment and 400 meters in an obstructed environment)
● PIR Motion Sensor detects motion only part of the time.
Set the PIR Motion Sensor Switch #2 to the high sensitivity setting. The PIR sensor detects the movements of heat sources. Please adjust the sensor eye with a horizontal angle to the engine of the car.
● The system is giving false alarms.
Check for moving tree branches or insects in the sensor window and remove as necessary. PIR Motion Sensors can also be triggered by light shining directly (or reflected) into the sensor window. It is also possible that condensation has built up on the sensor. Wipe condensation from the PIR Motion sensor with a cotton swab. Detach the 4AA battery and let the sensor dry inside for a few hours, open to the air. The sensor should correct itself once dry. Check the Sensor Switches on the PIR Motion Sensor (see Switch settings.)
● The system is not getting expected transmission range.
Ensure that the PIR Motion Sensors are vertically aligned, not attached to the far side of a tree, and away from metal objects. Ensure that the Base Station antenna is vertical and has the clearest possible line of site to the sensors. The fewer objects between the devices, the longer the range.
