By default and under proper circumstances, Motion Sensors will not detect a body under 30 lbs.

Motion sensors have a 90º field of view and detect motion up to 45 feet away. They detect movement across a room or hallway and should be used to secure high traffic areas. To preserve battery life, Motion sensors will become inactive for 3  being triggered and during that time will not trigger again.

Adjusting Settings for Pets

To change the setting:

  • Open the back of the Motion sensor
  • Remove the PET pin covering the 55 lbs jumper
  • Place the PET pin on the 33 lbs jumper
     

 

Understanding Your Motion Sensors Sensitivity

By default, Motion Sensors are set to a HIGH sensitivity, so it will be triggered more easily than if set to LOW sensitivity. To change this setting:

  • Open the back of the Motion Sensor
  • Remove the SENS pin covering the HIGH jumper
  • Place the SENS pin on the LOW jumper

It is important to keep in mind, a 10 lb cat 40 feet away from the sensor will not set off the sensor, however, that same cat 10 feet from the sensor will cause the sensor to go off.
