When the PIR senses motion it transmits an alarm notification to the GeoAlarm control panel user (GEO-CP) and GeoArm central monitoring station informing everyone designated of an alarm-initiating event. We recommend using the provided screws for the GEO-MD installation. This method is more secure than using the adhesive alone. Select the desired position for the sensor. Keep in mind, that the sensor detects motion within 3.28 ft (1m) in front of it installed at 6.88 ft (2.1m) having a range of 32.80 ft (10m). We recommend mounting the detector between 7.5 to 9.5 feet above the ground and aiming it at a highly trafficked area. The GEO-MD detects motion from 19.68 (6m) to 32.80 (10m) feet using a 90-degree detection angle. The GEO-MD requires a CR123A battery, that provides approximately 6 years of life (with average use x100 per day). Once the battery is low, the GeoAlarm GEO-CP panel displays a low battery icon next to the sensor in the devices list. The battery must be replaced within 7 days of the first low battery notification. If the battery is not replaced within 7 days, the sensor may not function properly. Product Features:
