Wolf Guard HW-GJ01A Wireless PIR Motion Sensor User Manual

1. Introduction

The Wolf Guard HW-GJ01A Wireless PIR Motion Sensor is designed to enhance the security of your home or property by detecting movement within its coverage area. This sensor utilizes passive infrared (PIR) technology to identify changes in infrared radiation caused by moving bodies, triggering an alarm when integrated with a compatible Wolf Guard alarm system. This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your HW-GJ01A sensor.

3. Setup & Installation

3.1 Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the sensor.
2. Insert the provided CR123A battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

3.2 Mounting Location Selection

• Choose a location that provides an unobstructed view of the area you wish to protect.
• Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or areas with strong air currents (e.g., near air conditioners or windows) to prevent false alarms.
• The optimal mounting height is typically between 1.8 to 2.4 meters (6 to 8 feet) from the floor.

3.3 Mounting the Sensor

1. Attach the mounting bracket to the desired wall location using the provided screws. Ensure the bracket is firmly secured.
2. Slide the PIR sensor onto the mounting bracket until it clicks into place.
3. Adjust the angle of the sensor to cover the desired detection area.

3.4 Pairing with Wolf Guard Alarm System

• Refer to your Wolf Guard alarm system's manual for specific instructions on how to add a new wireless PIR sensor.
• Typically, this involves putting the alarm panel into "learning" or "pairing" mode and then triggering the PIR sensor (e.g., by pressing a test button or walking in front of it).
• Confirm successful pairing on your alarm panel.

4. Operating Instructions

• Once installed and paired, the HW-GJ01A sensor will continuously monitor its detection area.
• When motion is detected within its range (up to 7 meters) and angle (horizontal 110°, vertical 60°), the sensor will transmit a signal to the connected Wolf Guard alarm panel.
• The alarm panel will then activate according to its programmed settings (e.g., siren, notification).
• The LED indicator may flash briefly upon detection or during low battery status.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Replacement

When the sensor's low power alarm function is activated (indicated by a specific LED pattern or alarm panel notification), replace the CR123A battery promptly.

1. Open the battery compartment.
2. Remove the old battery and dispose of it responsibly.
3. Insert a new CR123A battery, observing polarity.
4. Close the compartment.

5.2 Cleaning

Gently wipe the detection window and sensor body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

5.3 Regular Testing

Periodically test the sensor's functionality by walking through its detection area while the alarm system is armed (or in test mode) to ensure it is operating correctly.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 False Alarms

• Check for heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight) or strong air currents (fans, open windows) in the detection area.
• Ensure the sensor is mounted securely and not vibrating.
• Verify that pets or other moving objects are not triggering the sensor.
• Adjust the sensor's angle if necessary.

6.2 No Detection

• Check if the battery is correctly installed and not depleted. Replace if necessary.
• Ensure the sensor is properly paired with the alarm system.
• Verify that the detection window is clean and unobstructed.
• Confirm the sensor is within the transmission range of the alarm panel (up to 60 meters in open areas).

6.3 Low Battery Indication

Replace the CR123A battery as soon as possible when a low battery alert is received.
