The motion sensors can be mounted using the provided adhesive pads or screws. For long-term stability and to prevent accidental falls, especially with batteries installed, using screws for mounting is highly recommended.

  • Sensor Placement: Position the motion sensor in an area where it can effectively detect movement, such as near doorways, windows, or hallways. Ensure the infrared induction window has a clear line of sight to the detection area.
  • Indoor Use Only: These sensors are designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like wind, rain, or direct sunlight can lead to false alarms or damage the device.
  • Receiver Placement: Place the receiver unit in a central location within the wireless range of the sensors (up to 280 meters in open areas). It can be placed on a desk using its stand or mounted on a wall.
