3. Button Description
The sensor's functions are controlled via its buttons and battery insertion/removal:
Function | Action |
---|---|
Power On/Off | Install the batteries to power on; remove batteries to power off. |
Reboot | Remove the batteries. |
Reset to Factory Default | Press and hold the reset button for over 10 seconds. |
Note on Reboot: The provided table lists 'Remove the batteries' as the action for 'Reboot'. This is an unusual instruction for rebooting a device; typically, a short press of a reset button is used. The document explicitly states this action for reboot in this section.
4. Power Supply
The sensor is powered by two ER14505 Li-SOCl₂ batteries. The diagram illustrates the correct method for inserting these batteries into the compartment, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are aligned correctly.

6. Installation
Location: The sensor should be mounted on a wall at a height between 2.5 and 2.9 meters. Ceiling installation is not supported.
Installation Steps:
- Step 1: Prepare the mounting surface and attach the bracket.
- Step 2: Mount the sensor onto the bracket.
- Step 3: Adjust the sensor's tilt angle to optimize detection coverage.
- Step 4: Ensure the sensor is securely installed and positioned correctly.
Installation Notes:
- For optimal performance, install the device at a higher position and tilt it downwards. Adjust the tilt angle according to the specific environment to ensure the target is within the detection range.
- To avoid interference from reflections, do not point the device directly at smooth surfaces such as walls, metal, or glass at close range.
- To prevent potential interference between devices, avoid placing multiple sensors too close to each other, which could lead to overlapping detection zones.
