#2ON = More Sensitive
#2Off = Less Sensitive
#1ON = Longer Detection Range
#1Off = Shorter Detection Range
1: Installing the Transmitter Mounting Bracket
Insert the 1” silver sheet metal screw, through the green Swivel Bushing (supplied in the
accessory bag), then through the Mounting Plate and the Transmitter Body. Tighten just
enough to allow the plate to be tilted with effort (See Below).
2: Insert Batteries in the Transmitter
Place four AA Alkaline batteries in the battery pack (Use only high quality batteries for
longest performance), the LED Light in the PIR window will flash several times to show a
successful systems test. The batteries should last for over Two years with average use. If
used in location that will be below -10°C (20°F) Lithium batteries are recommended.
Important: Set the battery pack into the transmitter body, so the plastic back is facing
the circuit board.
3: Set-up the Base Unit and Teach the Transmitter to it
Plug the supplied 9VDC transformer into the 9-12 volt DC connection on the Receiver and a
wall outlet (the POWER light will illuminate) and then If desired, a 9-volt battery may be
installed in the receiver, for uninterrupted operation in case of power failures. Before the
Reporter will operate, you have to teach the PIR Transmitter to the Receiver (Each PIR
Transmitter has its own unique ID, for a secure Radio Link).
A: Press and release the LEARN button on the receiver, the buzzer should sound.
B: Within 5 seconds, slowly wave your hand in front of the sensor window, so the
light flashes, the buzzer should sound again. After mating, the receiver will buzz
every time it sees you moving in front of the sensor.
4: Assemble the PIR Transmitter
A: Make sure the Battery Pack is installed, so you only see the black plastic back of
the battery pack.
B: Position the Face Plate Assembly so that the Black Antenna Wire will pass through
the Notch Marked “Antenna Here”.
C: Insert and tighten the 4 small case screws (supplied in the accessory bag), so the
Face Place is tight against the Transmitter Body.
D: If desired, place the optional sun/rain shield to the top of the transmitter by
clipping it onto the swivel.

Mounting the transmitter
Mount the PIR Transmitter onto a solid surface (Should not shake
with wind) 4-6 feet above the ground (depending on the height of
the object being detected). Swivelthe unit so it gets the best
possible view across the path of movement, keeping it as close to
horizontal as possible. To detect small animals, the sensor has to be
mounted low enough to see them, usually within a foot of the
ground.
Note:For cars, the best mounting position is at about 4’ high, between ten
and twenty feet back, and angled to see the back of the car after
passing the sensor.
Power/Mute Button
The black Base Unit has an inset Mute Button, just above the ALERT light. Tap the black button to put
the unit in Sleep Mode for one hour. After an hour, it will activate automatically.
To turn the Base Unit off, Hold Down the Mute Button for three seconds and it will power-down. Press
the button again to activate it.
Multiple transmitters or receivers
The Base Unit can learn the signals of up to four transmitters. The
Base Unit will give a single signal for the first transmitter that it
learns, a double signal for the second, and so-on for a third and fourth.
Additionally, multiple receivers can work with the same transmitter,
to sound the alarm in different places. Just teach each transmitter to
the Base Unit. If you need to clear the receiver’s memory, simply press
and hold the learn button, for 15 seconds. The receiver will give a
triple beep, when it has cleared its memory.
Battery Backup Inside the Base Unit
The Base Unit features an Internal Backup Battery Connection, simply take the screw out of the back
of the unit pry The Two Halves Of The Receiver Housing open and Install an Alkaline 9V Battery. When
the battery runslow, the Reporter will generate a Beep Every Few Minutes. If power fails, the Reporter
Receiver will function for several days.
Connecting the Receiver to external devices
The Base Unit has a built-in relay for activating accessories, such as doorbells, buzzers, lights, or gate
openers. The two flat metal contacts are the outputs for the relay. The Relay can handle up-to 120 volts,
10 amps going through it but has no power of its own. When the receiver signals, the relay makes a momentary
connection between the two relay contacts. Most any home, hardware, or electronics store should have a selection
to choose from. What you have that relay activate, just depends on what meets your needs .
For Example: If you need to hear a louder or different alarm sound, a doorbell is the easiest accessory to
connect. Simply have the two relay connectors take the place of the doorbell’s button. When
the Base Unit signals, the relay would activate the doorbell, as if its button where pressed.
