Maintenance / care
The motion sensor is suitable for
automatic switching of lights or
alarms. The unit is not suitable for
special burglary alarm systems, since
it lacks the sabotage protection pre-
scribed for this purpose. Weather can
affect operation of the sensor.
Cause
Wind is moving trees
and bushes in the
detection zone
Cars in the street
are detected
Sudden temperature
changes due to
weather (wind, rain,
snow) or exhaust air
from fans or open
windows
Position Wi-Fi device
very close to the
sensor
Strong gusts of wind, snow, rain and
hail can cause switching errors, since
the sudden temperature changes can-
not be distinguished from heat
sources. The detection lens
cleaned with a damp cloth (without
detergents) if dirty.
