Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ASD NLS Microwave Motion Sensor, consider the following common solutions:
- Sensor Not Detecting Motion:
- Check the detection range setting on the remote or app; increase if necessary.
- Ensure there are no physical obstructions blocking the sensor's field of view.
- Verify the power supply to the sensor and connected fixture.
- Lights Not Turning Off:
- Review the hold time and standby period settings; adjust to shorter durations if needed.
- Check for continuous motion within the detection area.
- Lights Not Dimming Correctly:
- Verify the dimming level settings in the app or via remote.
- Ensure the connected fixture is compatible with 0-10V dimming.
- False Triggers:
- Decrease the detection range or sensitivity setting.
- Ensure the sensor is not exposed to vibrations or rapid temperature changes that could cause false readings.
