3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Initial Sensor Check and Charging

1. Confirm Sensor Power: Wave your hand slowly in front of the sensor eye. If a red light flashes, the sensor is powered on. If not, press and hold the POWER button for 3+ seconds to turn it on. (Note: The sensor eye will flash red 3 times when turning on, and once when turning off.)
2. Charge the Sensor: Sensors are typically shipped with about 20% charge. Fully charge the sensor before installation. A full charge can last up to 12 months.

3.2 Setting the Sensor Channel

The sensor has 8 channel settings, corresponding to 8 LED indicator lights on the receiver. To set the channel:

1. Open the sensor casing.
2. Locate the channel switch (DIP switches).
3. Adjust the switches to select your desired channel (1-8). Refer to the 'Channel Switch Chart' for specific configurations.

3.3 Pairing the Sensor and Receiver

If you purchased the sensor and receiver together, they are usually pre-paired. If you need to re-pair or pair additional sensors:

1. Ensure the sensor is powered on.
2. Connect the receiver to power.
3. On the receiver, press and hold the PAIRED button for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode.
4. Wave your hand slowly in front of the sensor eye. If pairing is successful, the receiver's corresponding channel indicator will flash, and a ring tone will sound. The screen will also display the channel number (e.g., CH08).

3.4 Sensor Installation

Install the sensor in a location that avoids direct sunlight from entering the sensor eye. For optimal performance, adjust the angle of the sensor using its ball joint after installation.

3. Press MENU a third time; the alarm setting (default OFF) will flash. Use UP/DOWN to change to ON. The screen will flash a logo when the alarm is ON.
4. Press MENU a fourth time; the hour indicator for the alarm will flash. Use UP/DOWN to set the alarm hour.
5. Press MENU a fifth time; the minute indicator for the alarm will flash. Use UP/DOWN to set the alarm minute.
6. Press MENU a sixth time to exit the time and alarm settings.

4.3 Melody Settings for Each Channel

You can assign a different melody (1-36) to each of the 8 channels to distinguish which sensor has detected movement.

1. In standby mode, press the PAIRED button. The screen will display a character sequence like "C101" (Channel 1, Melody 01).
2. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to choose the melody for the displayed channel.
3. To change melodies for other channels, press the PAIRED button to switch between channels (C1-C8).

4.5 Power ON/OFF Button

To turn off the receiver without losing time settings, press and hold the MENU button for 3 seconds. To mute the sound while keeping the system active, press and hold the MUTE button.

5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Wuloo Driveway Alarm System:

• Regularly check the sensor eye for any obstructions like dirt, spiderwebs, or debris. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• Ensure the sensor's rechargeable battery is adequately charged, especially after prolonged periods of inactivity or before winter months.
• Verify that the sensor is securely mounted and its angle is still optimal for detection, adjusting if necessary.
• Keep the receiver unit in a dry, indoor environment away from extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Wuloo Driveway Alarm System, consider the following:

• No Detection:
  • Check if the sensor is powered on and fully charged.
  • Verify the sensor's sensitivity setting; increase it if necessary.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions directly in front of the sensor eye.
  • Confirm the sensor and receiver are properly paired (refer to Section 3.3).
  • Check the distance between the sensor and receiver; ensure it's within the 1/3-mile range and minimize large obstacles.
• False Alarms:
  • Decrease the sensor's sensitivity setting.
  • Adjust the sensor's angle to avoid detecting small animals, blowing leaves, or direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the sensor is not pointed at heat sources or reflective surfaces.
• Receiver Not Responding:
  • Ensure the receiver is plugged into a power source or has fresh AA batteries (if applicable).
  • Check if the receiver is in mute mode.
  • Re-pair the sensor and receiver.
