2.3 Product Appearance and Dimensions
3. Setup
3.1 Battery Installation
- Gently open the back cover of the motion sensor.
- Insert the two 1.5V AA LR6 AM3 batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the back cover securely.
3.2 Mounting the Sensor
The sensor can be mounted on a wall or in a corner. Choose a location that provides optimal coverage of the area you wish to monitor, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources that could cause false alarms.
- Attach the mounting bracket to the desired location using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly secured.
- Slide the motion sensor onto the mounting bracket. The bracket allows for adjustment of the sensor's angle.
- Adjust the sensor's angle to cover the detection area effectively. For pet immunity, ensure the sensor is mounted at a height where small pets (under 25 kg) are below the detection zone's lower beam.
3.3 Pairing with Wolf Guard Alarm System
The HW-06B sensor is designed for wireless integration with compatible Wolf Guard alarm systems (e.g., W4Q, WT4F, WT4R). Refer to your specific alarm system's manual for detailed pairing instructions. Generally, the process involves:
- Put your Wolf Guard alarm panel into pairing mode (often labeled 'Add Device' or 'Enroll').
- Trigger the motion sensor by waving your hand in front of it or by walking through its detection zone.
- The alarm panel should recognize the sensor and display a unique code or confirmation.
- Confirm the pairing on the alarm panel.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Motion Detection
Once installed and paired, the sensor continuously monitors its detection area. When it detects motion from a human or an object exceeding the pet immunity threshold (25 kg), it sends a signal to the connected Wolf Guard alarm system.
4.2 Pet Immunity Function
The HW-06B sensor features pet immunity, meaning it is designed to differentiate between human movement and the movement of small pets. For optimal pet immunity, ensure pets weighing less than 25 kg are positioned below the sensor's main detection zone. Proper mounting height and angle are crucial for this feature to work effectively.
4.3 Alarm Notification
Upon detection of unauthorized motion, the alarm system will trigger its siren and send notifications (e.g., SMS, app alerts) to your registered contacts, depending on your alarm system's configuration.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Battery Replacement
The sensor's batteries have an average lifespan of 2 years. When the batteries are low, your alarm system may indicate a low battery warning for the sensor. To replace the batteries:
- Open the back cover of the sensor.
- Remove the old batteries.
- Insert two new 1.5V AA LR6 AM3 batteries, observing correct polarity.
- Close the back cover.
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
5.2 Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance, periodically clean the sensor's lens with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the sensor.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not detecting motion | Low batteries Incorrect sensor placement Sensor not paired with alarm system Obstruction in detection zone | Replace batteries Adjust sensor position and angle Re-pair sensor with alarm system (refer to section 3.3) Remove any obstructions |
| False alarms | Incorrect pet immunity setup Sensor exposed to direct sunlight or heat sources Movement of curtains or objects Strong air currents | Adjust mounting height/angle for pet immunity Relocate sensor away from heat/sunlight Ensure detection zone is clear of moving objects Avoid placing near vents or open windows |
| Sensor not pairing | Alarm system not in pairing mode Sensor out of range Low sensor battery | Ensure alarm system is in pairing mode Move sensor closer to the alarm panel Replace sensor batteries |
