Install: Motion sensor
Passive-infrared sensor. Covers up to 35 ft at ~90° when mounted in a room corner.
Tools needed
- • Screwdriver
- • Wall anchors (included)
Setup time
10 minutes
Step-by-step
- 1Pair the sensor from the panel's Add Device menu.
- 2Mount 7–8 ft high, angled into the room's main walking path.
- 3Avoid pointing at HVAC vents, fireplaces, or direct sunlight.
- 4Walk-test by triggering while a helper watches the panel.
Common mistakes
- • Aiming at a window that gets direct sun — heat spikes can trip it.
- • Mounting too low — pets under 40 lb should walk under, not through, the beam.
Troubleshooting
- • No trips during walk-test: confirm sensor LED blinks when you move.
- • Too many trips: lower sensitivity in Panel → Devices → Motion → Settings.
