5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Modes of Operation

The sensor can operate in various modes, providing alerts for different scenarios:

• Anti-Theft Alarm: When motion is detected, the sensor will activate its loud siren and strobe light, and send an immediate push notification to your smartphone. This mode is ideal for securing restricted areas or detecting intruders.
• Dangerous Area Alarm: Similar to the anti-theft alarm, this mode triggers a siren and notification when motion is detected in a designated dangerous zone, such as near flammable materials or machinery.
• Visitor Chime/Doorbell: In this mode, when motion is detected, the sensor plays a selected chime sound (like a doorbell) and sends a notification, indicating a visitor's arrival. This is suitable for entrances to homes or shops.

6. Maintenance

• Charging the Battery: The sensor is equipped with a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery. When the battery level is low, connect the device to a power source using the provided Type-C USB cable.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the PIR sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth to ensure optimal detection performance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Firmware Updates: Check the Tuya Smart Life app regularly for any available firmware updates for your device. Updates can improve performance and add new features.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device Not Pairing:
  • Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz. The sensor does not support 5GHz networks.
  • Verify the device is in pairing mode (usually indicated by a blinking LED).
  • Move the sensor closer to your WiFi router during the pairing process.
  • Restart your router and the sensor, then try pairing again.
• No Motion Detection:
  • Check if the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed.
  • Ensure the sensor is powered on and the battery is charged.
  • Verify the detection range and angle are appropriate for the area you wish to monitor.
  • Avoid placing the sensor near heat sources or direct sunlight, which can cause false triggers or reduce sensitivity.
• No App Notifications:
  • Check your smartphone's notification settings to ensure the Tuya Smart Life app has permission to send notifications.
  • Verify your phone has an active internet connection.
  • Ensure the sensor is connected to WiFi and online in the app.
