3. Installation

3.1 Installation de la batterie

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the PIR Alert Sensor.
2. Ouvrez le couvercle du compartiment à piles.
3. Insérez 3 piles AAA en veillant à respecter la polarité (+/-). Les piles ne sont pas incluses.
4. Fermez soigneusement le couvercle du compartiment à piles.

3.2 Montage du capteur

The sensor is designed for wall mounting. Choose a location that provides optimal motion detection coverage and is within the wireless range of your Receiver Unit.

1. Select a suitable mounting location. Consider the desired detection area and potential obstructions.
2. Utilisez le support de fixation comme gabarit pour marquer l'emplacement des trous de vis sur le mur.
3. Drill pilot holes if necessary and insert wall plugs for drywall or masonry.
4. Fixez le support de montage au mur à l'aide des vis fournies.
5. Attach the PIR Alert Sensor to the mounting bracket. The adjustable angle pivot joints allow you to direct the sensor for optimal coverage.
6. Ensure the sensor is firmly attached and positioned correctly.

3.3 Pairing with a Receiver Unit

This Add-On Sensor must be paired with a compatible Swann Receiver Unit (e.g., from a Swann Home Doorbell Kit, Home Doorway Alert Kit, Gate Alert Kit, or Driveway Alert Kit).

1. Refer to the instruction manual of your specific Swann Receiver Unit for detailed pairing instructions.
2. Typically, this involves putting the Receiver Unit into a pairing mode.
3. Once the Receiver Unit is in pairing mode, activate the PIR Alert Sensor (often by pressing a button or triggering motion).
4. The Receiver Unit should indicate successful pairing (e.g., with a sound or light indicator).
5. Test the sensor by walking through its detection zone to confirm it triggers the Receiver Unit.

4. Mode d'emploi

4.1 Détection de mouvement

The PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor detects changes in infrared radiation, which is emitted by moving objects such as people or large animals. The sensor has a detection range of up to 40 ft (12m).

• When motion is detected within its field of view, the sensor will send a wireless signal to the paired Receiver Unit.
• The Receiver Unit will then alert you according to its settings (e.g., sound an alarm, flash lights).

4.2 Communications sans fil

The sensor communicates wirelessly with the Receiver Unit over a distance of up to 200 ft (60m) in open areas. Environmental factors such as walls, large metal objects, and other wireless devices can reduce this range.

4.3 Considérations relatives au placement

• Angle optimal : Position the sensor to detect motion across its field of view rather than directly towards it for best results.
• Évitez les obstacles : Ensure there are no large objects, trees, or bushes that could block the sensor's view or cause false alarms due to movement.
• Facteurs environnementaux : While weatherproof, avoid direct exposure to extreme weather conditions if possible to prolong product life. Do not aim directly at heat sources or reflective surfaces.
• Ingérence: Keep the sensor away from strong electromagnetic fields or other wireless devices that might cause interference.

5. Entretien

5.1 Remplacement de la batterie

When the batteries are low, the sensor's performance may degrade, or the Receiver Unit may indicate a low battery status. Replace batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation.

1. Ouvrez le compartiment de la batterie comme décrit dans la section 3.1.
2. Retirez les piles AAA usagées.
3. Insérez 3 piles AAA neuves en respectant la polarité.
4. Fermez le couvercle du compartiment à piles.
5. Jetez les piles usagées conformément à la réglementation locale.

5.2 Nettoyage

Un nettoyage régulier permet de maintenir des performances optimales.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the sensor.
• N’utilisez pas de produits chimiques agressifs, de nettoyants abrasifs ni de solvants.
• Ensure the PIR lens is clean and free from dust or smudges.

6. Dépannage

6.1 Le capteur ne détecte aucun mouvement

• Vérifiez les piles : Vérifiez que les piles sont correctement installées et non déchargées. Remplacez-les si nécessaire.
• Vérifier l'appairage : Confirm the sensor is properly paired with your Receiver Unit. Re-pair if needed (refer to Section 3.3).
• Obstructions: Check for any objects blocking the sensor's field of view.
• Placement: Adjust the sensor's angle and position to ensure motion crosses its detection zone.
• Gamme: Ensure the sensor is within the effective wireless range of the Receiver Unit.

6.2 Fausses alarmes

• Facteurs environnementaux : Wind blowing trees, bushes, or other objects can trigger the sensor. Reposition the sensor to avoid such areas.
• Sources de chaleur : Direct sunlight, heating vents, or other heat sources can cause false triggers.
• Petits animaux: While designed for larger motion, very close proximity of small animals might trigger the sensor. Adjust placement or angle.
• Ingérence: Other wireless devices or strong electromagnetic fields might cause false triggers. Move the sensor or interfering devices.

6.3 Poor Wireless Range

• Obstructions: Walls (especially thick or metal-reinforced), large appliances, or other structures can reduce wireless range.
• Ingérence: Other wireless devices (Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) operating on similar frequencies can cause interference.
• Déménager : Try moving the sensor or the Receiver Unit closer to each other, or to a location with fewer obstructions.
• Niveau de batterie : Low batteries can affect transmission strength. Replace batteries if necessary.
