The Perimeter Detection System consists of two pieces, the Transmitter and the Receiver.  
Theory of Operation
The Transmitter houses a motion detector, an infra-red light ring, and an antenna (transceiver).  When motion is detected, the infra-red light ring will flash three times to illuminate the area.  At the same time a wireless signal will be sent to the Receiver.  
The Receiver houses an antenna, an LCD display, a switch, and two indicator LEDs (infra-red and red).  When the wireless signal is received and the switch is in the right position, the LCD display backlight will flash and display “MOTION” and the red LED will flash.  If the switch is in the left position, the LCD display will show “MOTION” and the infra-red LED will flash.  When the Receiver is no longer receiving a motion detected signal the LCD display will show “ACTIVE”.    
Important: The infra-red light will be barely visible with the naked eye and is intended for viewing with night vision goggles or security cameras.  
Getting Started
Initial Set Up and Test
1.	Power on both units by plugging them into a standard wall outlet using the provided power sources.  

2.	The Transmitter will begin detecting motion within 15 seconds.  

3.	When motion is detected the LED light ring on the Transmitter will flash three times.  

4.	The Receiver will display “PERIMETER DETECT” on the top line and “CALIBRATING” on the bottom line.  

5.	The Receiver will calibrate for 10 seconds and then display “Active”.

6.	Place the switch in the right position.  

7.	Provide movement within 8 feet of the Transmitter and the Receiver display will flash three times and display “MOTION”.  The red LED will also flash.  

8.	When motion is no longer detected, the display will change back to “ACTIVE”.

9.	Place the switch in the left position.

10.	Provide movement within 8 feet of the Transmitter and the Receiver display will change to “MOTION” and the infra-red LED will flash.  

11.	When motion is no longer detected, the display will change back to “ACTIVE”.

Normal Usage
1.	Provide power to the units using the provided power sources or an alternate power source or battery pack that provides between 6 and 20 volts. 

2.	Hang the Transmitter by the attached rope or place it in a steady position.  

3.	Test the Transmitter by moving in front of the sensor within 8 feet.  

4.	Ensure that the infra-red light flashes (it will only flash during low light conditions).

5.	Ensure the Receiver displays “MOTION” and that the screen or appropriate LED flashes.

6.	Test the Transmitter and Receiver at the distance and under the conditions you anticipate normally using the device to ensure that nothing blocks or interferes with the signal.  

Range Considerations

The wireless signal will travel through
walls, ceilings, and floors although dense 
material, such as concrete, may block the 
signal.
The signal has tested reliably through up to 
five walls.  

The signal has significant range with a clear line of sight.  It has tested reliably out to 300 yards.  
Blocking the line of sight may cause signal loss.
