Can I make a different recording
for every transmitter?
The receiver can only handle 3 different recordings. That means if you
had more than 3 transmitters, the others would have to have one of the same
recordings. If you put one in your garage and one in your backyard, the
recording for the garage transmitter could be something like, "There's someone
in the garage." and the back yard could say, "There's someone in the backyard."
This is how you would be notified if someone trespassed into those areas.
-
Is the Sensor/Transmitter
waterproof?
The Sensor/Transmitters can be used indoors and outside.
They are designed to withstand weather including rain and snow but are not
designed to be submerged in water. When installed outside the
Sensor/Transmitters do best when in a covered area and not in direct
sunlight.
-
How does the Sensor/Transmitter
work?
The Sensor/Transmitter is a passive infrared receiver (PIR). It
detects movement by the change it causes in background temperature and then
transmits a radio signal to the Receiver/Speaker that movement has been
detected.
-
How far will the
Sensor/Transmitter send a signal to the Receiver/Speaker?
The
Sensor/Transmitters will transmit a signal in anarea up to 1000 feet to
the Receiver/Speaker. Through walls the Sensor/Transmitters will transmit a
signal to the Receiver/Speaker up to 300 feet.
-
Will tree branches trigger a
false signal?
It is possible for branches to cause a false trigger. The
best location to install the Sensor/Transmitter in an area where tree branches
and bushes will not be blown by a wind in the detection zone of the
Sensor/Transmitters.
-
Will birds or dogs or cats
trigger a false signal?
The Sensor/Transmitters are designed to ignore
small animals under 40 Lbs. To reduce the possibility for a false trigger
caused by movement of a small animal it is recommended that the
Sensor/Transmitters be mounted at a height of 7 1/2 feet above the ground. The
lower the Sensor/Transmitters are mounted the higher the chance of picking up a
small animal.
-
How often will the
Sensor/Transmitter send a signal?
The Sensor/Transmitter has two modes
for sensing movement and sending a signal. The (setup) mode that is set at the
factory identifies all movement and transmits each detected movement to the
Receiver/Speaker. The battery saver mode will detect movement every 3 minutes
and then transmit to the Receiver/Speaker. Removing the jumper in the
Sensor/Transmitter will setup this mode.
-
Will the system work through
walls of my home?
The system is designed to function through the
interior walls of a home and exterior walls of a home. The Sensor/Transmitters
have difficulty transmitting a signal through aluminum siding or metal surfaces
and are best located on a window in that situation.
-
How many
Sensor/Transmitters will the system
recognize?
There is no limit to the number of Sensor/Transmitters that
can be installed with a system. There are 3 voice messages that are available
for the Sensor/Transmitters to activate.
-
How long will the
Receiver/Speaker work off the battery?
The Receiver/Speaker is designed
to function as a power back up in the event of a power outage. The
Receiver/Speaker battery will function for up to 2 hours depending on the
amount of speaker activity.
-
Can a Sensor/Transmitter be
recognized by more than one Receiver/Speaker?
The Sensor/Transmitter can
be set to activate an unlimited number of
Receiver/Speakers.
-
Will the Sensor/Transmitter
recognize a small child?
The Sensor/Transmitter is intended to identify
children of about 40 Lbs or larger when the Sensor/Transmitter is installed at
a height of 7 1/2 feet above the ground. If it is desired to identify smaller
children then the Sensor/Transmitter will need to be installed lower to the
ground. When animals are present they may create a false
trigger.
-
Will the Sensor/Transmitter
work in the dark?
Yes, the Sensor/Transmitter will work in the dark or
in full light.
-
How long will the battery last
in the Sensor/Transmitter?
The battery in the Sensor/Transmitter can
last up to 1 year depending on if the Sensor/Transmitter is set to battery
saver mode. Temperature can also affect the life of any battery. Operating a
battery at cold temperature will reduce its life.
-
How large of an area do the
Sensor/Transmitters monitor?
The Sensor/Transmitters are designed to
monitor a 40-foot by 40-foot area when they are installed at 7 1/2 feet above
the ground and there are no obstructions.
-
Where can I get additional
Sensor/Transmitters?
Additional Sensor/Transmitters are available on
this web site.
