Mounting Instructions

Observe the following mounting guidelines:

• Mount the Motion Detector at a height between 2.20 m and 2.70 m.
• The product has a detection range of 90° and 12 m.
• The sneak-by guard can be activated additionally.

Detection Range Diagram Description: A visual representation showing the detection area with a 90° angle and a maximum range of 12 meters, with recommended mounting heights between 2.20 m and 2.70 m.

Installation Restrictions:

• [Cross Symbol] There must not be any windows in the detection area.
• [Sun Symbol] Avoid direct or indirect sunlight in the detection area.
• [Object Symbol] Do not block the detection area with objects.
• [Rotating Object Symbol] Do not install near rotating objects (e.g., fans) or independently moving objects.
• [Heat/Cold Symbol] Do not install near sources of heat or cold.
• [Pet Climbing Symbol] Do not place objects on which pets can climb in the detection area.

Place the Motion Detector in the part of the room most frequently walked through (e.g., near the door).

Before mounting, take the Motion Detector to your chosen location and use the app to perform a communication test to check the signal strength.

[Info] The connection with the Bosch Smart Home Controller needs to be sufficiently strong. You can perform a communication test using the app.

6.2 Choosing the type of fixing

The Motion Detector can be mounted in a corner or on a straight wall, using either screws or adhesive tape.

[Info] The device's theft protection function can only be guaranteed if the Motion Detector is installed with screws. If the Motion Detector is forcibly removed, the theft protection remains on the wall and emits a signal.

6.3 Corner fixing with screws

Steps:

1. Punch through the four pre-punched screw holes in the Motion Detector's mounting bracket.
2. Hold the mounting bracket against the desired position on the wall and mark the drill holes.
3. [Warning] When choosing a fixing location and drilling, pay attention to potential electrical lines and/or supply lines that could be behind the wall.
4. Mount the Motion Detector with screws and plugs.

6.4 Corner fixing with adhesive tape

[Info] When fixing the Motion Detector with adhesive strips, the theft protection function cannot be guaranteed.

Steps:

1. Attach the adhesive tapes to the beveled surfaces of the Motion Detector's mounting bracket and peel off the second protective film.
2. Place the Motion Detector in the desired position and press it down firmly for 10 seconds.

6.5 Wall fixing with screws

Steps:

1. Punch through the three pre-punched screw holes in the Motion Detector's mounting bracket.
2. Hold the mounting bracket against the desired position on the wall and mark the drill holes.
3. [Warning] When choosing a fixing location and drilling, pay attention to potential electrical lines and/or supply lines that could be behind the wall.
4. Fix the Motion Detector using screws and plugs.

6.6 Wall fixing with adhesive tape

[Info] When attaching the Motion Detector with adhesive strips, the theft protection function cannot be guaranteed.

Steps:

1. Attach the adhesive tapes to the back of the Motion Detector's mounting bracket and peel off the second protective film.
2. Place the Motion Detector in the desired position and press it down firmly for 10 seconds.

6.7 Selecting pet immunity or sneak-by guard

Set the desired sensitivity level on the Motion Detector. You can choose between pet immunity and sneak-by guard functions. By default, the product is set to pet immunity (rotary switch on the rear side turned to the left). Turn the rotary switch to the right for the sneak-by guard.

• Pet Immunity: Small animals (under 25 kg) are ignored by the front sensor. The sensor directed downwards is deactivated. When pet immunity is activated, sneak-by guard is deactivated.
• Sneak-by Guard: When pet immunity is switched off, sneak-by guard is activated, allowing detection of people beneath the Motion Detector. This may increase the risk of false alarms if you have pets.

6.8 Inserting the Motion Detector into the mounting bracket

Insert the Motion Detector into the mounting bracket from the bottom up until it clicks into place.

7.0 Functional Test

After installation, check the product's functionality by starting the test via the app. Cross the room to test the detection range. The Motion Detector will flash red each time it detects movement.

[Info] When crossing the room, consider the most likely routes a trespasser would take.

8.0 Product Details

8.1 Technical Data
