Motion Sensor  (490-0550)     Testing the Sensor        Faxback Doc. # 6171

After you make all connections and double-check them, you are ready to test
the sensor.  This section describes two tests.  One test lets you see if
the sensor is registering movement, and the other test lets you see if the
sensor triggers your alarm system.

TESTING THE DETECTION AREA

To test the sensor's detection area, do the following:

1.  Disarm your alarm system.

2.  Confirm that the area protected by the sensor is clear of all people,
    pets, and potential problems.

3.  Turn the LED control to ON.

4.  Take at least five steps, across the protected area.  Repeat this for
    four different directions.

5.  While walking, see if the sensor's Red indicator lights within four
    steps.  The sensor should detect movement in at least three out of the
    four directions you walked.  If the sensor does not detect movement
    during this test, aim or move the sensor again, or set GAIN or PULSE
    to a more sensitive setting.

6.  Stand clear of the protected area, but where you can see the sensor
    to see if the indicator lights.  It should not light.  If it does
    light, check the covered area to see what is causing the false alarm.
    Then, remove the item, angle or move the sensor so it does not cover
    that area, reduce the sensitivity with GAIN or PULSE, or mask the
    zone(s).
