Installation Guide
The angle of the Wireless Motion Sensor may be adjusted, in order to control
how far the Motion Sensor can “see”. To reduce the detection range, simply tilt
the sensor downward. To increase the range, tilt the sensor upward. Range is
maximized when the sensor is tilted to 12 degrees. (It is recommended that you
do NOT adjust the Motion Sensor to less than a 12 degree angle). Maximum
range may not be desired if the Motion Sensor is placed outdoors, since a false
trigger may occur if the Motion Sensor is set to detect motion in the distance.
Motion sensitivity is also adjustable on the Properties page in Composer (see
Advanced Settings below for information on adjusting the sensitivity).
You should walk in the area that you would like the Motion Sensor to monitor
to validate functionality. While in Walk Test mode, the unit’s red LED (visible
through the Motion Sensor window) will illuminate if the Motion Sensor detects
your movement. If the Motion Sensor does not cover the desired detection
area, adjust the mounting angle and sensitivity accordingly.
You should also perform the walk test in the undesired detection area to
ensure movement is not detected.
You may use two or more InHome Wireless Motion Sensors to improve detection
coverage in an area. Multiple motion sensors can cascade (or link) to act together
as a single motion sensing device, thus increasing the detection coverage. The
“motion detected” event will happen when any of the cascaded/linked Motion
Sensors detect motion, and the “No motion detected” event will be sent when all of
the cascaded/linked Motion Sensor Occupancy Hold Times have expired. This cas-
cading process is done within the Composer software from the connections tab and
is recommended if more than one Motion Sensor is used in the same general area.
7. Motion Sensor Sensitivity Adjustment
The sensitivity of the Motion Sensor is adjustable via the Properties page in
Composer. Change the setting by moving the sensitivity slider higher (to the
right) or lower (to the left). When the sensitivity is set lower, more movement is
required to trigger the Motion Sensor. It is recommended to set the sensitivity
to a middle value and perform a “Walk Test” (Described in Section 6 - “Walk
Test and Adjustment”). If the walk test result is satisfactory, the sensitivity
does not require further adjustment.
8. Advanced Settings
The Composer Properties Page allows for advanced configuration of Motion
Sensor and Light Sensor properties.
Several characteristics of the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor can be pro-
grammed and are described in the following diagram:

9. Troubleshooting
If the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor is not working:
• Reset the Wireless Motion Sensor by disconnecting the battery from the
unit, waiting ten (10) seconds, and then reconnecting power.
To check for proper radio operation, do the following:
• Ensure that the motion sensor is in the desired location and has been added
to a Composer Project.
• Press and hold the button (located under the battery cover) for at least 3
seconds. This will put the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor into “Radio Test
Mode” for the next 3 minutes allowing for radio performance observation.
This mode can only be used after you have registered the unit into the
Composer Project. The test repeatedly sends a signal to the controller, waits
for a response, and indicates success (green) or failure (red) by LED. The
indicating LED will remain lit for approximately 3 seconds before repeating
the test. An occasional red LED is normal. Excessive red LEDs may indicate
RF interference or a range problem. If this is the case you may need to
move the unit to achieve improved performance.

The Card Access InHome Wireless Motion Sensor complies with standards established by the fol-
lowing regulatory bodies: Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Conformité Européene
(CE), and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
FCC
FCC ID: MHIWMS
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two con-
ditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follow-
ing measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
IMPORTANT! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
