3.3 Pairing with Home Unit

Follow the instructions provided with your Panasonic Smart Home System Home Unit and the 'Home Network' application to pair the KX-HJS200-W sensor. Up to 50 sensors (including door/window sensors) can be registered to a single home unit.

3.4 Mounting the Sensor

The sensor can be wall-mounted using the included wall mount adapter and screws. Choose a location where the sensor has an unobstructed view of the area you wish to monitor. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources that may cause false detections.

4. Operating the Sensor

4.1 Sensitivity Adjustment

The sensor features a sensitivity switch on its side, allowing you to adjust its detection range. Set it to 'High Sensitivity' for broader detection or 'Low Sensitivity' to reduce false alarms in busy areas.
