4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance of the motion sensor.
4.1. Location Selection
- Install the motion sensor in a corner of the room for maximum coverage.
- Position the sensor at least 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) off the ground. This height helps ensure effective detection and minimizes false alarms from pets or small objects.
- Avoid placing the sensor directly facing windows, heat sources (e.g., radiators, vents), or areas with direct sunlight, as these can interfere with detection.
4.2. Mounting the Sensor
- Identify the desired mounting location based on the guidelines above.
- Use the supplied mounting bracket as a template to mark the screw holes on the wall.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, and insert wall plugs if mounting into drywall or masonry.
- Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using the provided screws.
- Attach the motion sensor to the mounted bracket, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
4.3. Battery Installation (if not pre-installed)
The sensor requires one Lithium Ion battery (included).
- Open the battery compartment cover, usually located on the back or side of the sensor.
- Insert the Lithium Ion battery, observing the correct polarity (+ and -).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
4.4. Pairing with PGST Alarm Host
This motion sensor must be paired with a compatible PGST alarm host. Refer to your PGST alarm host's user manual for specific instructions on how to add new wireless sensors. Generally, this involves putting the alarm host into pairing mode and then triggering the motion sensor to register it with the system.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and paired, the motion sensor operates automatically as part of your PGST alarm system.
- Detection: When the alarm system is armed, the motion sensor will detect movement within its 25-foot range and 110-degree field of view.
- Alarm Trigger: Upon detecting motion, the sensor will transmit a signal to the PGST alarm host, which will then trigger the alarm according to your system's settings (e.g., sounding a siren, sending notifications).
- Indicator Light: The sensor may have an indicator light that flashes briefly upon detection or during pairing mode. Refer to your alarm host manual for specific sensor indicator behaviors.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your motion sensor.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor's lens and casing with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: The sensor is powered by a Lithium Ion battery. When the battery level is low, your PGST alarm host may indicate a low battery warning for the sensor. Replace the battery promptly to ensure continuous protection. Use only the specified battery type.
- Testing: Regularly test the motion sensor by arming your system and walking into the sensor's detection area to confirm it triggers the alarm.
