2.3 Pairing Sensors with Receiver

Follow these steps to pair your sensors with the receiver:

1. Plug in the receiver unit.

4. Trigger the sensor by passing your hand in front of it. The receiver will confirm successful pairing.

3. Operating the System

3.1 Detection Range and Sensitivity

The system offers a super long receiving range of up to 1500 feet in most conditions. Sensors have adjustable detection distances: High (30ft) and Low (20ft). Adjust the sensitivity switch on the sensor to minimize false alarms from small animals or environmental factors.

3.2 Chime Selection

The receiver offers 4 unique chimes. You can assign different chimes to different sensors to identify the location of detected movement.

1. Ensure the sensor and receiver are successfully paired.
2. Short press the music button on the receiver to cycle through and select your desired ringtone.
3. Trigger the sensor you wish to assign this ringtone to. The receiver will confirm the change.

3.3 Real-World Application

The eMACROS system provides early detection of activity around your property, whether it's a delivery person, a vehicle, or even wildlife. This allows you to be aware of visitors or potential intruders without needing to constantly monitor your surroundings.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Weather Resistance

The outdoor sensors are built with 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. They are designed to work normally from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).

4.2 Battery and Charging

The sensors are solar rechargeable and internally equipped with a rechargeable battery, designed for approximately 1 year of battery life. They charge even on cloudy or rainy days. For optimal performance, use the original data cable for the receiver. Using cables from other brands or models may cause damage.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Minimizing False Alarms

False alarms can be minimized by adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor using the switch (Hi = 30ft, Low = 20ft). Additionally, ensure the sensor's swivel mount is adjusted to refine the focus and detection angle, avoiding areas with frequent non-target movement.

5.2 Clearing Pairings

If you experience issues with pairing or wish to reset the receiver's pairings, follow these steps:

1. Plug in the receiver unit.
2. Press and hold the Pairing button on the receiver for approximately 5 seconds.
3. The four indicator lights on the receiver will turn off one by one, indicating that the pairing is cleared successfully.
