Introduction
The Motion Sensor is designed to be used indoors or
out. When mounted properly it can monitor large or
open areas such as entrances, living rooms, family
rooms, driveways, backyards, walkways, workshops,
etc. When the Sensor detects motion, it will transmit
a signal to the Control Center. The Zone selection and
settings on the Control Center determine if an alarm or
an alert sounds.

Preparing the Motion Sensor for Installation
The Motion Sensor consists of 2 parts – The Sensor
(Transmitter) and the wall mount. Before installing,
remove the screw from the battery door on the back
of the Sensor. You’ll need to attach the battery leads
to a “9V” battery (not included); Take care to note the
polarity markings. Replace the battery cover and
secure screw. An Alkaline “9V” battery in the Motion
Sensor can last up to 9 months,
Before mounting the Motion sensor, you’ll need to
assign the Sensor to a zone on the Control Center.
Follow these steps to assign a Sensor to a Zone.
Step 1 – Press and hold the Learn button on the
Control Center for three seconds. After the
Control Center sounds a long beep, release the
Learn button.
Step 2 – Press the Zone button (1, 2, 3 or 4) for the
Zone you want to assign to the Motion Sensor.
The LED indicator for that Zone will begin to flash.
Step 3 – Release the Zone button.
Note: Zone 4 is for dedicated alerts only. Sensors in this Zone
will not trigger an alarm or chime.
Step 4 – Activate the Motion Sensor

- To activate the Motion Sensor, press the Learn
button located inside the battery compartment,
or if mounted wave your hand in front of the
Sensor (the red LED indicator will flash inside lens
area in front of the Motion Sensor).

Ensure the Control Center can receive the signal
from the intended location of the Sensor before
permanently mounting a Sensor.
Step 1 - To place Control Center in Test mode
unplug AC adapter and remove batteries.
Step ꢀ - Press and hold the ‘Mute’ button and plug
the AC adapter back into the Control Center. When
all the LED indicators turn on, release the Mute
button. The Control Center is now in Test Mode and
any Sensor can now be tested in any Zone.

Step ꢁ - Set the Notification Mode to switch ‘Alert’
position and begin activating Sensors one at a time.
Note: The sensor has a LED that flashes to show when the
sensor has triggered and transmitted to the main unit.
Step 4 - When testing is complete, unplug the AC
adapter, then plug the AC adapter back in and
reinstall batteries. This returns the Control Center
to standard operation mode.
Note: The Control Center will automatically return to standard
operation mode after 5 hours.
Installing the Sensor
Use the ball-head mount to mount the Sensor. The
minimum spacing recommended is 5-6 ft, depending
on where you want to mount the Motion Sensor. Once
the location is selected, before mounting you should
perform a manual test to confirm the Motion Sensor
is within range of Control Center. Refer to the Testing
a Sensor section on pg 7. Mount the ball-head joint to
the location with screws provided. Once the ball-head
joint is mounted to the wall, slide the back of the
sensor onto the ball-head joint. The mounting angle
can be adjusted.

Erasing the Sensor from a Zone
Note: If you need to remove the Sensor from a Zone, the
system will erase the entire Zone, so any other Sensors will
need to be put back into that particular Zone.
Step 1 - To erase a Zone, press and hold the
Learn button on the Control Center. The unit will
beep once.
Step ꢀ - While holding the Learn button, press and
hold the Zone button to be erased. After five
seconds the Control Center will sound two beeps
and the Zone LED indicator will flash twice.
Step ꢁ - Release all buttons. The Zone has
been erased.
Note: The Zone/Motion Sensor cannot be erased if:
- The Zone has been triggered for an Alert or alarm. The
Sensor/Zone must be reset.
- There is loss of signal from the Sensor to the Control
Center (such as low battery, or Sensor is out of range).
- The system is armed.
The Control Center will sound three beeps to indicate it could
not erase the Zone.
Low Battery Indicator
The Control Center continuously monitors all the
Sensors. If the Control Center does not receive a signal
from any Sensor it will begin rapidly flashing the Zone
LED indicator . This indicates one or more Sensors in
the Zone may have low battery power and are unable
to transmit a signal the necessary distance. If all
batteries and/or Sensors are installed at the same
time into a Zone, it is recommended to replace the
batteries in all Sensors in the Zone.

However, you can check the Motion Sensor status
independently by placing the Control Center in Test
mode (see Testing a Sensor on page 7) and trigger
the Sensor separately. If mounted, wave hand in front
of Sensor, or press activation button for two seconds
inside battery compartment. If the Sensor does
not trigger an alert then replace the battery with a
new one.
Note: The Sensor detection system is ‘range dependant’,
which means Sensors located closer to the Control Center
may seem to have batteries that last longer than those
Sensors at a greater distance. Also, keep in mind, because the
Motion Sensor is continually checking for activity the battery
life is less than the lithium cell batteries in the other Sensors.

Motion Sensor F.A.Q.’S
Q. I bought a new Sensor and the Control Center will
not recognize it. Why?
A. First, make sure that the battery is new and has
been correctly attached to the terminals. Confirm that
the Sensor has been correctly assigned to a Zone.
Q. I put the Sensor on Zone 4 and it will not set off the
alarm. Why?
A. Zone 4 is a Dedicated Alert Zone and is designed
to monitor Sensors in this Zone. It will only issue an
alert (LED will flash, continuous beeping will be heard).
Sensors in Zone 4 will not set off the alarm. Use Zone
4 for water Sensors, garage doors, gates, sheds or
other areas you want to monitor (i.e. areas you want
to be alerted if there is a problem, but do not want the
alarm to sound).
Q. I erased a Sensor from a Zone and now all of my
other Sensors in that Zone will not work. Why?
A. The system can only erase entire Zones. You will
need to add the other Sensors back in that Zone to the
Control Center again.
Q. I put the Sensor in a Zone (1, 2, 3) and it will not
sound in any Alert modes. Why?
A. The Motion Sensor only functions as an Alarm
Sensor in Zones 1, 2, 3. It will not activate a chime,
visual or audio alert. An Alert in Zone 4 only, but will
not activate the alarm.
Q. How can I tell if the Sensor is working?
A. Each Sensor has an LED that indicates the Sensor
is operating (flashes when triggered). However if
the battery is to weak, the signal may not reach the
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl
1ꢀ
Sensor.This will cause low battery indication on the
Control Center (See pg 10).
Q. Why does one of my Zones continually flash?
A. This can be caused by 1 of 2 conditions. First
condition, if it is a rapid flash it means a Sensor in the
Zone has a low battery. If more than one Sensor is in a
Zone, you will need to test each Sensor by putting the
unit into test mode (see pg. 9 of this manual). It may
also be that a Sensor is out of range and cannot make
contact with the Control Center. If this is the case, you
may need to move the Control Center closer or use a
Signal Repeater. The second condition, if it is a slow
flash, one of the Sensors is triggered. Check to ensure
the Sensors in the Zone are closed/reset (i.e. close door,
window, etc).
Q. If one Sensor has a low battery, should I replace all
of the batteries?
A. If Sensors were added at the same time, chances
are good all the batteries will need to be replaced.
Motion Sensors battery life is less than the other
Sensors, try replacing the Sensors battery first.
Q. How do I know if any Sensors have low batteries?
A. The Control Center will indicate if any Sensor does
not have sufficient power to transmit a status signal
(battery is low). You can also check each Sensor
independently by using the Test Mode (see pg.9 in manual).
Q. If one Sensor has a low battery, will the other
Sensors in the Zone (or other Zones) continue to
operate?
A. Yes, as long as the other Sensors have sufficient
battery power, they will continue to transmit
information to the Control Center and the system will
operate normally.
