SKYLINK HA-318T Indoor Outdoor Motion Sensor

Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor

Model: HA-318T

Introduction
The Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor is designed to monitor movement around your house. The motion sensor can be placed either indoor or outdoor. Once motion is detected, the receiver will beep & flash. In this package, you should find an Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor, ballhead joint, screws and a clip.

Set Up Code Connectors and Zone Connectors

Code Connectors
The motion sensor comes with code connectors 0′ and+’. A connector - can be removed with the clip, as shown in the manual.

Power Up the Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor

After setting up all the connectors properly, the sensor is now ready to be powered up. Insert a 9V alkaline battery (not included) to the motion sensor and its LED will be on for 2 seconds. The receiver will beep and red LED flash. The sensor requires a warm up time of approx. 45 seconds before it can function properly. After powering up the sensor, face it to the wall where no motion will be detected. After 45 seconds, the sensor is ready. Wave your hand in front of the sensor, the receiver will beep and red LED will flash for approx. 15 seconds.

Sensor Sensitivity
The motion sensor has sensitivity connectors that can be used to adjust its sensitivity.

Mounting
A ball-head joint is necessary to mount the sensor at a desire location. A height of 5-6 ft is recommended, depending on your application. Once a location is selected, mount the ball-head joint to this location by screws provided. Once the ball-head joint is mounted to the wall, slide the back of the sensor into the ball-head joint. The mounting angle can be adjusted. Please refer to Section 4 Walk Test to determine the best mounting angle.

Walk Test
After mounting the sensor at the desired location, it is important to perform a walk test in order to determine if the sensor is detecting the things you want to detect. In order to
control how far the sensor can see, this can be done by adjusting the angle of the sensor. To reduce the detection range, simply move the sensor downward. To increase the range, move the sensor up to around 12 degrees. This will give the maximum range.

Zone Connectors

Each receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors (to represent 4 different zones on the receiver). There are 2 connectors that determine the zone number 1, 2, 3 and 4. These 2 connectors can be found by opening the battery cover.
Please follow table 1 to set the zone.

INTRODUCTION

The Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor is designed to monitor movement around your house. The motion sensor can be placed either indoor or outdoor. Once motion is detected, the receiver will beep & flash.

Please follow the instructions below to setup your Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor.

SET UP CODE CONNECTORS AND ZONE CONNECTORS

CODE CONNECTORS
In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the sensor’s code must match with the receiver’s code. Code connectors 1 to 6 can be found by opening the battery cover and the back cover of the receiver. User is required to set these code connectors randomly and the code settings on the sensor and receiver must be the same. Each position of the code connector can be set to “+”, “-” or “0” position. Refer to the diagram below to set the code connectors properly. If the connector is placed on the top and middle posts, that column is set on “ + ”. If the connector is placed on the middle and bottom posts, that column is set on “ – ”. If the connector is removed completely, (not placed on any posts), it is set to “ 0 ”. (see diagram for examples of how to set a column to the three different positions).

Note: If you experience interference from a nearby system, which could accidentally trigger your system, please change the code settings on the sensor and receiver. The code setting on the sensor and receiver should still match after changing the code setting.

ZONE CONNECTORS
Each receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors (to represent 4 different zones on the receiver). There are 2 connectors that determine the zone number 1, 2, 3 and 4. These 2 connectors can be found by opening the battery cover. Please follow table 1 to set the zone.

“+” in the table means the connector for that position should be placed on the posts.
“-“ in the table means the connector for that position should be removed.

POWER UP THE INDOOR/OUTDOOR MOTION SENSOR

POWER UP
After setting up all the connectors properly, the sensor is now ready to be powered up.

Insert a 9V alkaline battery (not included) to the motion sensor and its LED will be on for 2 seconds. The receiver will beep and red LED flash. The sensor requires a warm up time of approx. 45 seconds before it can function properly. After powering up the sensor, face it to the wall where no motion will be detected. After 45 seconds, the sensor is ready. Wave your hand in front of the sensor, the receiver will beep and red LED will flash for approx. 15 seconds.

SENSOR SENSITIVITY
The sensitivity of the motion sensor is adjustable. Change the setting by placing the connector on either the ”High” or “Low” position. When the sensitivity is set to “Low”, more movement is required to trigger the sensor. It is recommended to set the sensitivity to “Low” and perform a “Walk Test” (Described in Section 4 – “Walk Test”). If the walk test result is satisfied, the sensitivity does not require to be adjusted further. If the walk test result shows the sensitivity is too low, then you can change the sensitivity setting to “High”. Please perform the walk test after changing the sensitivity setting.

MOUNTING
A ball-head joint is necessary to mount the sensor at a desire location. A height of 5-6 ft is recommended, depending on your application. Once a location is selected, mount the ball-head joint to this location by screws provided, (see diagram 1). Once the ball-head joint is mounted to the wall, slide the back of the sensor into the ball-head joint (see diagram 2). The mounting angle can be adjusted. Please refer to Section 4 “Walk Test” to determine the best mounting angle.

WALK TEST
After mounting the sensor at the desired location, it is important to perform a walk test in order to determine if the sensor is detecting the things you want to detect.
In order to control how far the sensor can “see”, this can be done by adjusting the angle of the sensor. To reduce the detection range, simply move the sensor downward. To increase the range, move the sensor up to around 12 degrees. This will give the maximum range. However, this may not be desired if the sensor is placed outdoors, since a false trigger may occur if the sensor is set to detect motion in a distance. You should walk in the area that you would like the sensor to monitor. The receiver will beep if the sensor detects your movement. If the receiver does not respond, adjust the mounting angle accordingly. Perform the walk test again after 30 seconds. Repeat this procedure until your motion is detected. There should be no movement in the detected area during the 30 seconds.

POWER UP THE HOUSEHOLD ALERT® RECEIVER ANDINDOOR/OUTDOOR MOTION SENSOR (CONT)

Perform walk test in the undesired area to ensure movement cannot be detected.
Tips: The sensor should not face towards direct sunlight, placing near heat or cold-producing devices (i.e. A/C or furnance vents, fans, ovens, heaters etc.) that may cause false triggers.

OPERATION

When motion is detected in the monitored area, the sensor will send a signal to the receiver. It will beep and the corresponding zone red LED will flash for 15 seconds.
If the sensor is set to zone 1, zone 1 red LED on the receiver will flash, and the receiver will emit a continuous “single beep”, i.e. “beep” pause,“beep”, pause….. etc.

If the sensor is set to zone 4, zone 4 red LED will flash, and the receiver will emit a continuous “4 beeps”, i.e. “beep beep beep beep” pause“beep beep beep beep” pause ……etc.
By the number of beeps emitted by the receiver, user can identify which zone is triggered.

LOSS OF SIGNAL INDICATION

When the battery level on the sensor drops to a certain level, or the sensor is out of the operating range, the receiver will show a “loss of signal” indication. The red LED representing that zone will flash rapidly, i.e. if zone 1 sensor is lost, the zone 1 red LED will flash rapidly.
When the loss of signal indication occurs, move the receiver closer to the corresponding sensor and trigger that sensor. If the red LED stops flash-ing rapidly, that means the receiver or sensor needs to be relocated. If the “loss of signal” indication persists, replace the battery of that sensor.

OTHER HOUSEHOLD ALERT ® SENSORS

The Household Alert® receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors: garage door monitor sensors, door / window sensors, water sensors, indoor/outdoor motion sensors, etc. Please visit www.skylinkhome.com or contact us at support@skylinkhome.com for more information of how to fully utilize your Indoor/Outdoor Motion Sensor.
