3. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions:

  • Do not exceed the maximum load rating of 15A/1875W for the receiver.
  • Ensure the receiver is plugged into a properly grounded outlet.
  • Keep the receiver away from water sources if used outdoors, despite its IP44 rating, to prevent electrical hazards.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device.
  • Replace batteries in the motion sensor with the correct type (3 AAA batteries, not included) and dispose of old batteries responsibly.
  • Avoid pointing the motion sensor directly at heat sources, reflective surfaces, or areas with constant air movement (e.g., vents) to prevent false triggers.

4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation (Motion Sensor)

The motion sensor requires 3 AAA batteries (not included) for operation.

  1. Rotate the battery cover at the bottom of the sensor to the "unlock" position and remove it.
  2. Take out the black battery holder.
  3. Insert 3 AAA batteries into the holder, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
  4. Insert the loaded battery holder back into the battery box.
  5. Insert the battery cover and rotate it to the "lock" position to secure it.

4.2 Mounting the Motion Sensor

The motion sensor can be surface-mounted using the included bracket.

  1. Use the included screws to secure the mounting bracket to the desired location.
  2. Install the motion sensor onto the fixed bracket.
  3. Adjust the sensor's angle vertically (160°) and horizontally (180°) to cover the desired detection area.

4.3 Pairing the Sensor and Receiver

The sensor and receiver are typically pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed:

  1. Plug the receiver into a power outlet.
  2. Press and hold the pairing button on the receiver until its indicator light flashes.
  3. Trigger the motion sensor by waving your hand in front of it. The receiver's indicator light should stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.

5. Operating Instructions

The motion sensor features three adjustable knobs: Function, Delay, and Sensitivity.

5.1 Function Knob: Selecting Operating Modes

Rotate the Function knob to select one of the four operating modes:

  • PIR Mode (Motion Detection): The sensor detects motion both day and night, activating the connected device.
  • NTM Mode (Night Time Motion): The sensor detects motion only when the ambient light reaches a low activation brightness (dusk/night), activating the connected device.
  • D2D Mode (Dusk to Dawn): The connected device turns on at dusk and stays on until dawn, regardless of motion.
  • RND Mode (Random): The connected device turns on and off randomly during nighttime hours, simulating occupancy for security purposes.

5.2 Delay Knob: Adjusting Auto-Off Time

In PIR and NTM modes, the Delay knob adjusts how long the connected device remains on after motion is last detected. The adjustable range is from 10 seconds to 30 minutes.

  • Rotate clockwise for longer delay.
  • Rotate counter-clockwise for shorter delay.

5.3 Sensitivity Knob: Adjusting Detection Range

The Sensitivity knob adjusts the motion detection range from approximately 10 feet to 50 feet.

  • Rotate clockwise for maximum detection range (up to 50ft).
  • Rotate counter-clockwise for minimum detection range (down to 10ft).

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the sensor and receiver with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace the 3 AAA batteries in the motion sensor when the detection range or responsiveness decreases. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 4.1.
  • Inspection: Periodically check the device for any signs of damage, especially if used outdoors.

7. Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Device does not turn on with motion.
  • Low or dead batteries in sensor.
  • Sensor out of range of receiver.
  • Incorrect mode selected (e.g., D2D or RND instead of PIR/NTM).
  • Sensitivity set too low.
  • Obstruction in detection path.
  • Replace sensor batteries.
  • Move sensor closer to receiver (within 100ft).
  • Select PIR or NTM mode.
  • Increase sensitivity.
  • Clear obstructions and adjust sensor angle.
Device turns on too frequently or falsely.
  • Sensitivity set too high.
  • Sensor pointed at heat sources, reflective surfaces, or moving objects (e.g., trees, traffic).
  • Interference from other RF devices.
  • Decrease sensitivity.
  • Adjust sensor angle or relocate to avoid false triggers.
  • Move sensor/receiver away from other wireless devices.
Device does not turn off.
  • Constant motion in detection area.
  • Delay time set too long.
  • Sensor malfunction.
  • Ensure no continuous motion is detected.
  • Adjust delay knob to a shorter time.
  • Try re-pairing the sensor and receiver. If issue persists, contact support.
Short detection range.
  • Sensitivity set too low.
  • Low batteries.
  • Environmental factors (temperature, humidity).
  • Increase sensitivity.
  • Replace batteries.
  • Consider environmental conditions; performance may vary.
