at a maximum distance from the receiver of 1000 (300m).
To insert baeries into the PIR sensor:
●
Remove the screw on the baery compartment cover at the
black of the sensor. This screw is very small, so be careful not
to lose it.

C. Wave your hand before the PIR sensors to acve the PIR
sensor. You will hear an alarm/melody sound if pairing is
successful.
Wave hand in in front of the PIR sensor to acvate it, the
working indicator will turns on meaning the PIR sensor
was acvated.
A alarm/melody sound will play indicator that pairing is
successful.
You also can acvate the PIR sensor again to confirm it has
been added to the receiver already.
Same steps to add more sensors to the alarm receiver. The
driveway alarm receiver can support up to 4 sensors per zone,
for a total of 16 sensors per receiver.
Note:
Pairing mode will stay acve for 15 seconds aer the
sound of the ‘Beep’. If you don’t hear an alarm/melody sound,
repeat the pairing process and make sure that the selected
zone number is on when you acvate the sensor.
Note that only one solar LED light or PIR sensor for one zone
can be paired at a me.
3.4 Choose an Alarm Melody for the Sensors
The alarm melody for Zone 1 can be customized, while melodies
for Zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4 are fixed and cannot be changed.
Zone 1: Press the Melody buon to cycle through the available
melodies and stop on the desired.
melody to select it.
Zone 2: DingDong melody. As the “dingdong” sound is similar
to a doorbell melody, we suggest the Zone 2 sensor be
placed in a low security area such as the entrance of
the garden.
Zone 3: Dripping melody. This also is a nice melody for a
low security area, such as the driveway.
Zone 4: Alarm melody. This sound is tailored for high security
areas. We suggest the sensor for Zone 4 be placed in
areas where trespassing is a possibility.
3.5 Installing the PIR sensor
It is recommended to mount the PIR sensor at least 3-4
(1m) above the ground on a sturdy, non-metal surface
(i.e. a wall, wooden post, or tree near your door/driveway)
with the PIR sensor detect area pointed straight out over
the area you wish to cover (such as up your driveway
looking towards your house). Mounng at this height and
direcon will decrease or eliminate false alarms from small
animals, enable sensing of a larger area, and avoid
unwanted alarms caused by nearby lawns / roads.
The PIR sensor can be placed with e to fix it on a the
wanted place and also can installed with the supplied
screws.
Install the PIR sensor using the supplied screws:
●
Use a pencil to mark the locaon of the two mounng
holes on the surface where the PIR sensor base will be
installed.
●
If installing on a wooden surface, only the included screws
need to be used. Drill out pilot holes to help prevent
stripping of the screws and hold the sensor more securely.

●
If installing on any other surface, such as brick or stone,
use the included wall plugs with the screws. To do this,
drill out pilot holes, then gently tap the wall plugs into the
pilot holes using a hammer unl the wall plug are flush
with the mounng surface.
●
Push the screws into the wall plugs, then hang PIR sensors
on the screws.

When you do not want to be disturbed or the user has a
hearing problem, we suggest seng the alarm receiver’s
Alert Mode to “Flash” mode.
●
When one PIR sensor is triggered, the LED indicator will
display the zone number and the alarm melody will sound.
When more than one sensor from 2 different zones is
triggered at the same me, the receiver’s LED indicator will
display both zone numbers alternavely for about 20 seconds,
while the alarm melody of the more recent triggered zone
will play. During this 20 seconds, if other PIR sensors triggered,
the receiver will not alarm.
3.8 Manufacture Default Sengs
If the receiver rings but the PIR sensor has not been triggered,
or the PIR sensor interferes with another receiver, it may be
necessary to wipe the current pairings and pair again.
To return the receiver back to default seng, press and hold
the pairing buon 3 seconds unl a ‘BEEP’ is hear. The receiver
will BEEP five mes and the LED indicator will display “8” to
indicate all pairings have been removed from the receiver.
Aer unpairing, the receiver can be paired again to a PIR
sensor.
Note:
The working distance for the receiver and PIR sensor is
300m (1000) without obstacle, Always test the working
distance between the PIR sensor and receiver before
installing these units.
3.7 Selecng the Alert Mode for the Receiver
When the PIR sensors are triggered, the alarm receiver can
alert you with an auditory sound, a flashing zone LED
indicator, or sound and flashing zone LED indicator together.
These are referred to as Sound, Flash, and Sound +Flash

5. Troubleshoong:
Most issues that arise can easily be resolved by changing
sengs or reseng the driveway alarms. Use the table
below to find your exact issue and possible soluon for it.
SoluonIssue Cause
Confirm that the receiver/sensors
are on. The receiver should play a
melody when the melody buon
is pressed.
The LED indicator on the sensor
will turn on when it is acvated.

SoluonIssue Cause
Inconsistent
alarms
The PIR sensor on which
transming frequency is 433MHz
and its range can be affected by
metal, concrete, and other
interfering signals from electronic
appliances with the same frequency.
Receivers or sensors mounted close
to siding or stucco may have
inconsistent signal recepon.
Avoid placing the PIR sensor and
receiver near the above menoned
materials and electronics.

Low baeries can reduce a PIR
sensor’s working range. Replace
the sensor’s baeries.

properly
The working distance between
sensor and receiver is about
1000 (300m). If the PIR sensor
acvated, but no alarm plays on
the receiver, then the PIR sensor
is out of range. If there is heavy
interference between PIR sensor
and receiver, if using in a heavily
wooded area, or signal passes
through mulple buildings, the
maximum effecve range will be
reduced.
Move the PIR sensor and receiver
closer together unl alerts are
received consistently.
