Model PIR2300R
Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Sensor
Overview
Step 2
The Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Sensor is a
Passive Infra-Red sensor that detects movement of
people and vehicles, while allowing small animals to
pass through undetected. Each PIR Motion Sensor
has its own unique ID, for a secure radio link.
Base Station (not provided) can learn the signals of
up to four PIR Motion Sensors. The Base Station will
give a single beep for the first Sensor that it learns, a
double beep for the second, and so forth. Additionally,
multiple Base Stations can work with the same PIR
Motion Sensor to sound in different places.
Carton Inventory
Install 4 AA Alkaline batteries (not provided). (Lithium
batteries recommended for colder environments.)
LED light will flash.

Attach PIR Motion Sensor box to mounting plate with
large silver screw. Tighten screw until PIR Motion
Sensor stays in place when repositioned.
NOTE: To avoid unwanted detection of small animals
move Switch #2 to OFF.

Vehicle Alert Installation: For cars, the best
mounting position is about 4' high, between 10-20'
back, and angled to see the back of car after passing
the sensor.
10' - 20'

Troubleshooting
The PIR Motion Sensor lights up, but the Base
Station does not respond.
The PIR Motion Sensor must be programmed to Base
Base Station beeps every ten minutes.
The battery in the Base Station is low. Replace with
9-Volt battery or operate it using AC Adapter.
Station (See Step 5).
Ensure Base Station is on and is not muted.
If the green power light is not lit or is flashing, press
the Mute Button on the top of the Base Station to
wake it up.
If the green power is illuminated, look at the two small
white Base Station switches next to the Learn Button.
The #1 Dip Switch should be down, towards the
circuit board. If it is up, the Base Station has been
muted. If the Base Station signals when you press the
Learn Button, it is not muted.
The Alert is not getting expected transmission
range.
Keep both antennas vertical and keep PIR Motion
Sensor antenna away from trees and metal objects.
Ensure Base Station is in clearest possible sight of
the PIR Motion Sensor. The less objects between the
devices, the longer the range.
Base Station is not very loud.
An accessory such as a bell, buzzer, or light can be
attached to the relay switch. The relay switch can
handle up to 120 AC volts at 10 amps. The accessory
device will need a separate power supply.
The accessories can be purchased at any electronics
store.
PIR Motion Sensor is detecting motion only part
of the time.
To detect cars, it is best to mount PIR Motion Sensor
at height of car’s motor and have it between ten and
twenty feet from the road. Swivel sensor as needed.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any
radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized
modifications to this equipment. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
The Alert is giving false alarms.
Check for moving tree branches or insects in sensor
window. PIR sensor can also be triggered by light
shining directly in sensor window, such as reflected
sunlight, or motion in front of a light source.
It is possible that condensation has built up on the
sensor. Wipe condensation from PIR Motion Sensor
with cotton swab. Let it sit inside for a few hours,
open to the air, without the batteries and it should
correct itself.
Check Sensor Switches on PIR Motion Sensor. See
Switch Settings.
