Sensor Placement and Coverage

Before mounting the sensor, please note the following:

• If you cannot see the sensor, it cannot see you. The sensor cannot see through glass.
• The sensor should be mounted at eye level. Recommended placement 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.4 m).
• DO NOT place the sensor within 4 ft (1.2 m) of moving air currents (ie: HVAC vents), heat sources (ie: light bulbs, or microwave / standard ovens), or within 6 in (15 cm) of other RF devices.
• If there is a line of sight from the sensor to the paired devices (no obstructions) sensor can be located within 60 ft (18.3 m). Otherwise, the sensor must be within 30 ft (9.1 m).
• Whenever possible, avoid placing the sensor in a location where it has a broad view outside the intended space.

Sensor Coverage

Minor Motion Coverage- (small movement, i.e., turning a page) 15 X 2 X 35 = 1050 ft 2 (97.5 m 2 )
Major Motion Coverage- (large movement, i.e., walking) 20 X 2 X 45 = 1800 ft 2 (167.2 m 2 )

Temporary Mounting

To test sensor coverage, a 3MT CommandT adhesive strip is provided for temporarily mounting the sensor. The strip is not reusable and should not be used for permanently mounting the sensor.

Testing Sensor Coverage

1. Press and release the “Test” button on the top of the sensor. The lens will glow briefly, indicating the test mode has been entered.
   

2. With the sensor temporarily mounted in the intended location, walk around the space while observing the lens. If the lens glows, motion is detected. If you are not satisfied with the sensor’s performance, relocate the sensor and repeat the test.
   Press and release the “Test” button again to exit test mode.

Testing Wireless Communication

Press and release the button to toggle the lights on and off, while the sensor is in its intended mounting location.
If the lights do not respond properly, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Removing Temporary Mounting Strip

Pull down very slowly. DO NOT pull at an angle.

Permanent Mounting

The sensor is designed to be free-standing or for installation on drywall or plaster surfaces.

Flat Wall-Mount
The flat wall-mount bracket is designed to mount flat against a wall.
Use the provided screws and drywall anchors.

1. Mark wall
   

2. Drill holes
   

3. Push anchors into wall and mount bracket
   

Corner-Mount
The corner-mount bracket can be used to mount in a corner or angled on a wall away from a corner.

• Mounting directly in a corner

Use the mounting bracket side “A” and the provided screws.

• Mounting angled on a wall away from corner Use the mounting bracket side “B”. Use provided screws and drywall anchors.

Advanced Sensor Features

The sensor has three adjustable advanced set-up modes. For most installations, the default settings will provide the best performance. If you determine the default settings require adjustment, refer to the back of the sensor. For additional information, visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures
Timeout: The sensor will turn off if no motion occurs for the duration of the timeout period. The available timeout settings are: 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes.
(Default: 15 minutes)
Activity: The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted based on the expected level of activity within the room. There are three available activity settings: Low Activity, Medium Activity, and High Activity. (Default: Low Activity)
Auto-On: (PD-OSENS model only) When Enabled, lights will turn on automatically when the room is entered and turn off when vacant. When Disabled, lights will need to be manually turned on but will turn off automatically when the room becomes vacant. (Default: Enabled) Recommendation: For applications in bedrooms or when pets are in the space, it’s suggested to change Auto-on setting to Disabled.
