3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Charging the Sensor

Before initial installation, fully charge the sensor. The sensor can operate for up to 12 months on a full charge. Sensors are typically charged to about 20% power when leaving the factory, so a full charge is recommended before use. Connect the charging cable to the sensor's charge port and a power source. The sensor eye will illuminate red during charging and turn green when fully charged.

3.2 Testing the Connection

After charging and setting the desired sensitivity level, wave your hand slowly in front of the sensor. The sensor will detect the movement, a red light will illuminate, and the receiver will ring to indicate successful pairing and connection.

3.3 Installing the Sensor

Install the sensor in your desired location using the provided screwdriver and mounting hardware. The sensor's ball joint allows for angle adjustment to optimize detection coverage. Ensure the solar panel faces an area with adequate sunlight.

3.4 Pairing Additional Units

Video tutorial on how to pair additional sensors or receivers to your existing Chtoocy driveway alarm system. This process involves turning on the receiver, entering pairing mode, selecting a channel, and waving your hand in front of the sensor to confirm pairing.

To add more sensors or receivers to your system:

1. Ensure both the new unit and the existing receiver are powered on.
2. Press and hold the 'PAIRED' button on the receiver for three seconds to enter pairing mode. The 'PAIRED' channel indicator will light up, and the 'start to pair' channel indicator will flash.
3. Continue pressing the 'PAIRED' button to select the desired channel number for the new unit.
4. Wave your hand in front of the new sensor. The channel indicator on the receiver will move to the next indicator and flash, signifying successful pairing.
5. Press the 'RESET' button again to exit pairing mode.
6. Test the pairing by waving your hand in front of the sensor again. The corresponding channel indicator will flash and ring if successful.

The system can expand to include up to 8 sensors and more receivers. The system automatically detects the expansion range.

4. Operation

4.1 Adjusting Sensitivity Levels

Video explaining the three sensitivity levels (Low, Medium, High) of the sensor and their corresponding detection ranges for different objects like people, dogs, cats, and cars.

The sensor offers three sensitivity levels (L, M, H) to detect motion at varying distances. This allows you to customize detection based on your environment and specific needs, reducing unwanted alerts.

• L (Low): Detection range 0-15 ft. Ideal for detecting cars only.
• M (Middle): Detection range 0-25 ft. Suitable for detecting people and cars.
• H (High): Detection range 0-33 ft. Detects small animals, people, and cars.

4.2 Volume Levels and Chimes

The receiver features 4 adjustable volume levels, including a mute mode, and 12 distinct chimes. Use the volume buttons on the receiver to cycle through the levels and the music note button to select your preferred chime.

4.3 Turning Detection Light On/Off

The red light that flashes when the sensor detects motion can be turned off to increase discretion. This feature is useful in situations where you prefer not to have a visible indicator of detection.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Solar Charging

The sensor's integrated solar panel continuously recharges the internal battery. For optimal charging, ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive direct sunlight throughout the day. Regular exposure to sunlight will maximize battery life and minimize the need for manual charging.

5.2 Weatherproof Design

The sensor is designed to be weatherproof, functioning reliably in various outdoor conditions including rain, snow, lightning, and thunderstorms. It operates effectively within a wide temperature range of -4℉ to 140℉. While robust, avoid submerging the sensor in water or exposing it to extreme physical impact.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with installation or operation, please refer to the troubleshooting steps below or contact customer support.

• False Alarms: Ensure the sensor is positioned to detect only vehicles and large metal objects, avoiding animals and leaves. Adjust the sensitivity level to 'L' (Low) if frequent false alarms occur due to smaller objects.
• No Detection: Verify the sensor is charged and properly positioned. Check the sensitivity settings; a lower sensitivity might miss distant objects. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's detection path.
• Pairing Issues: If the sensor and receiver are not pairing, ensure both units are powered on. Try resetting the pairing history on the receiver by pressing and holding the 'RESET' button for three seconds until all channel indicators flash. Then, attempt the pairing process again.
• Low Battery: If the receiver indicates a low battery for the sensor, recharge the sensor fully.
