This image illustrates the internal layout of the sensor, including battery placement, and a diagram showing the 110-degree detection angle and range up to 12 meters.
4.2. General Installation Guidelines
- The motion sensor is designed for indoor use only. Do not install outdoors.
- Avoid installing the sensor near heat sources (e.g., radiators, air conditioners, windows with direct sunlight) or in areas with strong air currents, as these can cause false alarms.
- Ensure the detection area is clear of obstructions.
- The recommended installation height for the motion sensor is 1.8 to 2.2 meters (approximately 5.9 to 7.2 feet) from the floor.
- For wide-angle infrared detection, the sensor has a 110° detection angle and a range of 12 meters. It is typically installed in living rooms or areas requiring broad coverage.
- For vertical curtain infrared detection, the detection angle is about 15° with a detection distance of 8 meters. This is generally installed above doors and windows.

This video provides a visual guide on installing the main alarm host, motion detectors, magnetic door sensors, SOS buttons, and smoke detectors. It demonstrates the physical mounting process for each component.
4.4. Pairing with Alarm Host
The motion sensor must be paired with a compatible PGST alarm host to function. Refer to your specific PGST alarm host's user manual for detailed pairing instructions. Generally, this involves putting the alarm host into pairing mode and then triggering the motion sensor to register it with the system.
Figure 4.5: Wireless Signal Transmission
This image depicts how the motion sensor wirelessly communicates with the alarm host, which then sends notifications to your mobile phone.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and paired, the motion sensor operates automatically. When an intruder passes through its detection area, the sensor will automatically detect human activities and transmit wireless signals to the alarm host.
- Arming/Disarming: The motion sensor's detection status is controlled by the arming/disarming state of your PGST alarm host. Refer to your alarm host's manual for instructions on how to arm and disarm the system.
- Alarm Notification: Upon detection of movement while the system is armed, the alarm host will trigger an alarm (siren, phone call, SMS, or app notification) based on your system's configuration.
- LED Indicator: The LED indicator on the sensor will briefly light up upon detection.

6. Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: The sensor is powered by 2x AAA alkaline batteries. When the low voltage alert function is triggered, replace the batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation.
Figure 6.1: Battery Compartment
The sensor uses two AAA batteries for power, designed for ultra-low power consumption. - Cleaning: Gently wipe the sensor's detection window and body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Regular Testing: It is recommended to test the motion sensor periodically (e.g., monthly) to ensure it is functioning correctly and communicating with the alarm host.
