UsingGrooveJointPliers:
 If you are having difficulty removing or replacing the sensor from the bracket
using your hands, you may use 8 or 10 inch groove joint pliers to remove and
replace the sensor.
 With the wrench properly adjusted to the diameter of the sensor, grip the
sensor above the lens, being careful not to scratch or damage the lens.
 Firmly grip the bottom bracket, then carefully turn the sensor clockwise1/16th
of a turn, and pull the sensor out of the bottom bracket
Positioning
When replacing a sensor, place it back in the same position as the defective or missing sensor. The angle of
the sensor in the bracket is critical as described in the guidelines below.
GeneralRules
To ensure reliable performance, it’s important that the positioning of the sensors follows these rules:
 The senior should have to pass 2 sensors between exiting a bathroom or bedroom, and exiting the
home.
 No sensor should be able to detect motion outside of the residence if the doorway is open.
 Mount sensors on walls or other stationary, solid surfaces—to prevent the sensor from picking up false
motion if the surface vibrates or moves.
 As much as possible, install sensors in corners of rooms (at least 2 inches away), or near door frames
(at least 2 inches away), for functional and aesthetic purposes.
 Mount sensors at a height of 5.5 feet—both to catch motion and to discourage clients or visitors from
handling the sensors.
 Do not place sensors behind potential obstacles, such as doors or towel racks.
 Try to place sensors away from light switches or towel bars if possible.
