Overview

The wireless Command Motion Detector works with your ADT Command Security System as an added layer of protection for your home and family—including your pets, up to 80 pounds. Simply mount it flat against a wall or in the corner of two adjoining walls, and when motion is detected, you will receive instant alerts with our Control mobile app. 

Setup

If your Virtual Appointment has not been scheduled, please call (800) 493-7807. This product requires an ADT Virtual Agent to complete the connection of the sensor to your equipment. Your virtual agent will walk you through setting up your sensor.

Pre-Setup for Virtual Appointment 

1. Verify that you have everything you need to mount the detector:
   • SiXPIRA Motion Sensor (included)
   • Backplate (included)
   • Four screws (included)
   • Battery (included)
     • Note: Do not remove the battery tab until you are told to do so by your ADT Virtual Agent.
   • Drill with drill bits for pilot holes (not included)
   • Phillips head screwdriver (not included)
2. Determine where you are going to place your Motion Detector. The image below provides examples of optimal mounting locations, as well as locations that should be avoided. 
   
   
3. Select how you would like to mount your detector, either in a corner or flat against a wall.  Keep in mind the backplate MUST be mounted to a stud, solid wood, or with a robust wall anchor. Your Virtual Agent will help you determine the best location.
   
   

Congratulations! You are ready for the next step. Our Virtual Agent will contact you at your appointment time to complete the installation. We will connect your sensor to your ADT Command System so that it can be monitored. The virtual agent will verify the following:

✔  All test signals have been received.
✔  Your new sensor is labeled correctly on your touchscreen and in your Control app.
✔  If desired, notification settings are enabled, and notifications are being received on your device.
✔  Teach you how to best use your new sensor.

Setting up your SiXPIRA Motion Detector

Your Virtual Agent will work with you to determine best placement for your device. Once you have determined this, follow the steps below to begin setting up your Motion Detector.

Connecting to the System

1. Your Virtual Agent will advise you to remove the battery tab from the device.
   • Detach the front cover of the Motion Detector from its backplate by pressing down on the Latch Button on top of the device and sliding it down as shown in the image below.
     
     
   • You will then remove the PULL TO CONNECT tab from the battery, which will trigger the process to link the sensor to your Command System.
     
     
2. The Virtual Agent will then connect your device to the system. The LED light will flash rapidly while it is connecting to the system.
3. The LED goes on for three seconds and then beeps when successfully connected.

Mounting the Detector

You may mount the detector flat against the wall or in a corner. See image for appropriate mounting holes.

Flat Mount

1. Hold the backplate flat against the wall and locate the two wall-mounting holes (W). Refer to image above. 
2. Using the provided screws, attach the backplate to the wall.
   • You may need to drill two 1/16” pilot holes for the screws.
3. Return the front cover to the backplate, sliding it in place in the same manner used when it was removed.

Corner Mount

1. Hold the backplate in the corner of two adjoining walls and locate the four corner-mounting holes (C). Refer to image above.
2. Using the provided screws, attach the backplate to the adjoining walls.
   • You may need to drill two 1/16” pilot holes for the screws.
3. Return the front cover to the backplate, sliding it in place in the same manner used when it was removed.
4. Your ADT Virtual Agent will now test the system and confirm all signals have been received by the ADT Central Station.

Troubleshooting

False Alarms

To prevent false alarms, check the area within range of the motion detector for items or situations that could trip a motion detector and remove or correct if necessary.

For example:

• Pets, including fish tanks
• Fans
• Balloons
• Decorations
• Insects or cobwebs moving on the device
• Curtains moving from blowing air from air conditioning, heating, or open windows/doors
• Movement outside a window that is within the motion detector's field of view
• Movement outside a window causing moving shadows inside the room

Low Battery

A low battery message for the door or window sensor can appear on the touchscreen or touchpad, and in the Control app.

1. If you have recently changed the battery, verify that it was installed correctly. Refer to the Battery Replacement instructions below.
2. If it has not been changed recently, it’s time to change the battery in the sensor. You will need one 3V CR123A battery. To obtain a new battery, you can do one of the following:
   • Log on to MyADT.com and select Orders to place an order or order a battery through chat with an agent.
   • Call (800) ADT-ASAP to order a battery.
   • Purchase the battery from an online or local retailer.
3. Follow the Battery Replacement instructions below. Once the battery has been replaced, the error message will no longer appear.

Battery Replacement
