SETTING UP THE REPORTER 

When the PIR Sensor has detected 

motion, the Base Unit will allow you to 
listen through the wireless microphone 
that is built in to the PIR Unit, for 10 
seconds. If you wish to talk with a person 
on the other end, hold down the TALK 

button and speak, releasing it to hear. 

Patent Pending 

If you wish to turn the Base Unit off for 

a while, hold down the Volume button 
for three seconds, until a beep is heard 
and the power light goes out. The unit 
can be turned back on, by pressing the 
Talk button.  

Insert the 1” screw (The single larger screws provided in the kit) through the Swivel Bushing 

(supplied in the plastic bag), then through the Plate and the back of the PIR body. Tighten 
just enough to allow the plate to be adjusted, but it should not hang loosely.

from the ground 

 

Pull the two halves of the PIR apart and remove the black 

battery pack from the back half of the PIR. Place four AA Alkaline 
batteries in the battery pack (Use only high quality batteries for 
longest performance), after five seconds, the test LED will 
illuminate for ten seconds when it detects motion.  The batteries 
should last for over a year with average use.  

The volume of the Base Unit’s speaker 

can be adjusted by pressing the Volume 
button. Pressing the button repeatedly 
will cycle through volume levels.  

The Base Unit can be muted temporarily, 

by holding the Volume and Talk buttons 
down for three seconds. The unit will re-

activate automatically after one hour, or 
by pressing the Talk button. 

Patent Pending 

 

With the batteries installed, set the battery pack in the PIR Unit 

back, as shown below. 

The alarm buzzer can be muted or set 

to an alternate buzz tone by changing 
the switch settings. 

 

  

If there is an accessory device (like a 

gate opener, camera, or yard light) 
connected to the relay on the PIR unit, it 

can be activated by pressing the Remote 
button within 30 seconds of the signal of 
the alert buzzer.  

• Mount the plate to the back

using the swivel and long
screw provided. 

•  Tighten enough to remove

any slop in the assembly and
yet allow for some
movement of the plate when
installed. 

• 

After installing the

batteries, insert the battery
pack with the batteries facing
the back.

 

(Important

 Set the battery pack 

into the battery slot, so the 

batteries are facing away from the 
electronics. 

Switch #1 (closest to the LEARN 

button) will mute the built-in alert 
buzzer. 

 

Switch #2 will set the buzzer to signal 

with an alternate tone.  

 

Fit the PIR front on to the 

back and place the 2 screws 
provided into front holes and 
tighten securely.  

 

Plug the supplied 12VDC transformer into the power connection on the Base unit and a wall 

outlet (the POWER light will illuminate) and then If desired, 4 AA batteries may be installed 
in the Base unit, for uninterrupted operation in case of power failure or a remote location.  
The Base Unit can operate for several months on battery power alone.   

Before the Reporter will operate, you have to teach the PIR Unit to the Base Unit (Each PIR 

Unit has its own unique ID, for a Secure Radio Link).   For best results, raise the Base Unit’s 

antennal to stand strait up.  

 

 

Press and release the LEARN button on the Base unit, causing the alert buzzer to sound. 

Then, Within 5 seconds, wave your hand in front of the detection window of the PIR, causing 
the test light to illuminate. The Base Unit will activate with static and feedback, due to the 

close proximity of the PIR. Move the PIR at least ten feet away for normal operation.  If it 
does not, repeat the learning process. After learning the transmitter’s code, the Base Unit 
should respond to motion detected by the sensor, by beeping, flashing it’s ALERT light, and 
letting you hear through the PIR’s microphone.  

Each Base Unit can learn the codes of up to eight PIR transmitters, responding with multiple 

buzzes, depending on how many transmitters it has learned. Just teach each additional PIR 

Unit to the Base unit, as with the first one. If you need to clear the Base unit’s memory, 
simply press and hold the LEARN button, for 10 seconds. The Base unit will give a triple 
beep, when it has cleared its memory.  

 

 

Mount the PIR Unit onto a solid surface (it should not move 

with wind) 3-5 feet above the ground  so  it  can  see  the 
center of the expected target, moving past the sensor. Swivel 
the unit so it gets the best possible view across the path of 
movement, angled slightly downwards if necessary.

A low battery warning will signal when it is time to change the batteries in the PIR or 

Base unit.  

If PIR’s batteries are low, the Base unit will emit three high-pitch beeps, every ten 

minutes. If the Base Unit’s batteries are low, it will have two high-pitch beeps.  

 The AA batteries will last up to a year, depending on use.  

 

Both the PIR and Base units have relays, which can activate other 

electrical devices. The relays are switches that can handle up to 120 
volts at 10 amps. Accessory devices will need their own power supply, 
since the relay is just a switch and has no power of its own.  

Relay  
Contacts 

The Base Unit’s relay automatically closes when the alarm buzzer 

sounds and can be used to activate louder alarm bells, lights, 
cameras, or other accessories.  

The two stainless steel screws on the back of the PIR connect to its 

relay, which will only activate when the Remote button is pressed (on 
the base unit). If you wish, you can flush mount the unit so that the 

access to these connections by visitors is prevented.
