Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for quick and easy setup of your eMACROS Driveway Alarm System:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove the receiver, motion sensor, charging cables, and adapters from the packaging.
- Receiver Power: Connect the receiver to a power source using the provided charging cable and adapter. Ensure to use only the original adapter for optimal performance and to prevent damage. Note that this receiver is not compatible with versions prior to 2021.
- Sensor Placement: Install the solar-powered motion sensor in your desired outdoor location, such as a driveway, garden, or entrance. The sensor is designed to be weather-resistant and charges even on cloudy or rainy days.
- Adjust Sensor Angle: Use the swivel mount to refine the focus and detection angle of the sensor. This helps in minimizing false alarms and optimizing detection.
- Sensitivity Adjustment: Adjust the sensor's sensitivity using the internal switch. High sensitivity (Hi) detects up to 30 feet, while low sensitivity (Low) detects up to 20 feet. Refer to the Owner's Instruction Manual (PDF) for detailed instructions.
- System Expansion: The system can be expanded with up to 4 sensors and an unlimited number of receivers for comprehensive property coverage.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, your eMACROS Driveway Alarm System will reliably alert you to activity:
- Motion Detection: The wireless motion sensor detects movement from various sources including humans, cars, and large animals within its detection range.
- Alert Chimes: The receiver offers 4 unique chime options. You can assign different chimes to different sensors placed around your property. This allows you to quickly identify the specific area where motion is being detected.
- False Alarm Minimization: The sensor's sensitivity can be adjusted (Hi = 30ft, Low = 20ft) to reduce false alarms caused by small animals or environmental factors.

Maintenance
The eMACROS Driveway Alarm System is designed for durability and minimal maintenance:
- Weather Resistance: The outdoor sensor features industrial-grade PVC housing and a rubberized weather/water-resistant seal, ensuring reliable operation in various weather conditions, including hail storms, gusty winds, heavy rains, scorching heat, and snow. It is IP65 waterproof.
- Solar Charging: The sensor is solar rechargeable, eliminating the need for battery replacement. It continues to charge even on cloudy or rainy days.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel and sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal performance and clear detection.

Troubleshooting
While the eMACROS system is designed for reliability, here are some common issues and solutions:
- Frequent False Alarms:
Adjust the sensor's sensitivity switch to "Low" (20ft detection) if it's currently on "Hi" (30ft). Ensure the sensor is not pointed directly at moving foliage, reflective surfaces, or areas with frequent small animal activity. Re-adjust the swivel mount to optimize the detection angle.
- No Detection:
Verify the sensor is properly powered and its solar panel is clean and receiving adequate sunlight. Check the sensor's sensitivity setting; if it's too low for the desired detection range, switch it to "Hi". Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's line of sight to the detection area. Confirm the receiver is powered on and within range (up to 1500 feet in most conditions).
- Receiver Not Responding:
Ensure the receiver is properly plugged in using the original adapter. Check if the receiver's volume is turned up. If multiple sensors are paired, ensure the correct chime is selected for the activated sensor.
