Sensor Overview
Motion & Occupancy
The Motion Detection Sensor detects motion and movement using a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensing element. The element detects relative changes in temperature caused by people or animals moving through the viewing area. Once the sensor detects movement, it communicates with the Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System. The cloud platform stores all data where it can be reviewed and exported as a data sheet or graph.
Installation Steps
Step 1.
Remove the sensor from the package.
Step 2.
Register the sensor in viewmysensors. Do not install the batteries until told to do so in viewmysensors.
Step 3.
Determine the sensor’s installation location. See the image below to understand the sensors viewing angle to help determine where to place the sensor.
We recommend placing the sensor in the location and making sure it reports to the gateway before final installation.
Note: If you are installing a Motion+ Sensor, mount the sensor in a location that will not block or impede air flow to the holes the sides and bottom of the sensor.
Step 4.
After ensuring that the sensor is communicating with the gateway, mount the sensor using the supplied screws or double-sided tape.
