Product Information

Full details

The CPVAN Motion Sensor Alarm is designed for homeowners and renters seeking a simple, effective way to secure secondary locations like sheds, garages, or vans. Its key benefit is providing immediate audible alerts upon detecting movement, acting as a deterrent. A potential limitation is its reliance on batteries or a separate power adapter for the main unit. This wireless PIR motion detector offers a loud 125db alarm or chime mode, remote control operation, and a detection range of up to 26ft, making it a user-friendly DIY security solution.

FAQs

How do I pair a new remote control?

Refer to your user manual for specific pairing instructions. Typically, this involves placing the alarm unit into pairing mode and then pressing a button on the remote control within a short timeframe.

Can I add more sensors to this system?

No, this specific CPVAN PIR motion sensor model cannot be expanded with additional sensors. It is a standalone unit that can be controlled by multiple remotes or control multiple units, but you cannot add more PIR sensors to a single system.

What is the difference between alarm mode and chime mode?

Alarm mode emits a loud 125db siren sound to deter intruders. Chime mode produces a less intrusive sound, often used as an alert when someone enters a protected area, like a shop door opening.

How long do the batteries typically last?

Battery life varies depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use high-quality alkaline batteries and replace them periodically, especially if the unit is frequently triggered or the remote is used often.

Can this alarm be used outdoors?

This alarm is primarily designed for indoor use in locations like sheds, garages, or vans. It is not rated for direct exposure to weather elements. For outdoor use, ensure it is placed in a sheltered location away from rain and direct moisture.

What is the detection range of the sensor?

The passive-infrared (PIR) sensor has a detection range of approximately 16 to 26 feet (5 to 8 meters).

What is the wireless communication range?

The communication range between the sensor and the remote control is up to 328 feet (100 meters) in open areas, free from significant obstructions.

Troubleshooting

Alarm does not sound when motion is detected

Ensure the unit is powered on and armed. Check if the correct mode (alarm or chime) is selected. Verify the sensor is clean and unobstructed, and that the detection range is not exceeded. Confirm the batteries are fresh or the power adapter is securely connected.

Remote control is not working

Check the battery in the remote control and replace if necessary. Ensure the remote is within communication range (up to 328ft) of the alarm unit. Re-pair the remote with the alarm unit following the pairing instructions in the user manual.

False alarms are triggered

Adjust the placement of the sensor to avoid direct sunlight, heat sources (like vents), or areas with frequent non-human movement (like curtains blowing). Ensure small pets are not within the direct detection path if sensitivity is an issue.

Low volume or weak signal

Adjust the volume settings on the main unit or remote. If the signal is weak, ensure there are no major obstructions between the sensor and the remote and that the distance is within the specified 328ft range. Replace batteries in both the main unit and the remote.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple and easy to set up and use with no complex wiring.
  • Provides a loud deterrent with its 125db alarm.
  • Remote control offers convenient operation and an SOS feature.
  • Adjustable volume levels allow for customization.
  • Versatile placement options with battery or adapter power.

Cons

  • Cannot expand the system with additional PIR motion sensors.
  • The main unit requires separate purchase of a power adapter if not using batteries.
  • The alarm is designed for specific areas like sheds and garages, not whole-home security.
  • Detection range is limited to 16-26 feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Powering the Unit: Insert 3 AA batteries (included) into the main alarm unit, or connect an optional power adapter.
  2. Mounting: Use the included adhesive to stick the sensor to a clean, flat surface, or attach the stent for angled placement. Position the sensor facing the area you wish to monitor (e.g., towards a door or window).
  3. Pairing Remote: Follow the instructions in the user manual to pair the remote control(s) with the alarm unit. Typically, this involves pressing specific buttons on both devices within a set timeframe.
  4. Mode Selection: Use the volume keys on the main unit or the remote to select either the alarm (125db) or chime mode, and adjust the volume.

Compatibility:

  • The system is designed for use with CPVAN remotes. Ensure you are using compatible accessories.
  • One remote can control multiple alarm units, and one alarm unit can be controlled by multiple remotes after successful pairing.
  • This PIR motion sensor cannot be expanded or interconnected with other CPVAN PIR motion sensors.

Care:

  • Keep the sensor clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the sensor lens is free from obstructions like cobwebs or dust to maintain optimal detection performance.
  • If using batteries, replace them when the power indicator shows low battery or performance degrades. Store spare batteries in a cool, dry place.
