Overview

The Wireless Pet Immune Motion Detector—complete with pet-immunity technology that can distinguish between humans and pets weighing up to 85 pounds—is a smart dual-function indoor PIR motion detector that works with the Qolsys Security System. With both motion and temperature monitoring performance in one easy-to-install device, the detector offers reliable monitoring performance and instant alerts with our Control mobile app, giving you an added layer of protection for your home and family. 

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:
   • Qolsys Motion Sensor (included)
   • Mounting hardware (included)
   • Two 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 list below provides some examples of things to keep in mind when selecting an optimal location.
   • The optimal range is obtained at a mounting height of 7’6”.
   • For use in homes with pets:
     • Mount with the center of the device at 7’6”.
     • Mount where pet(s) cannot come within 6 feet of the sensor by climbing on furniture, stairs, boxes, or other objects.
   • Allow a clear, unobstructed field of view for all areas to be protected.
   • Do not directly face windows.
   • Avoid close proximity to moving machinery, fluorescent lights, and heating/cooling sources.
   • Do not expose to air drafts.
   • Do not install outdoors.
   • Avoid installation in direct sunshine.
   • Do not install behind partitions.
   • Mount on a solid stable surface.
     
     
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 Qolsys Motion Detector

Your ADT Virtual Agent will guide you through the process of connecting this device to your system by walking you through the pairing steps, and then you may mount the Motion Detector in its final location.

Connecting to the System

1. Your Virtual Agent will advise you to remove the battery tab from the device.
   1. First, open the sensor by detaching the front cover of the Motion Detector from its base. Grasp the detector in both hands, press lightly on the point marked C in the image below, and the cover will pop open. 
      
      
   2. Then, pull the battery tab to trigger the device.
      
      
2. The agent will then connect your device to the system. The LED light holds red while it is connecting to the system.
3. The LED blinks green three times 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 against the wall and locate the two mounting holes shown in the image.
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. To mount the detector on the bracket:
   1. Be sure to mount the detector right side up. The narrow end should be at the bottom.
   2. Align the slot on the back of the detector with the slot on the mounted bracket.
   3. Then slide the detector upwards until you hear a click.
      • Make sure the battery side is pointed up.
4. Your ADT Virtual Agent will now test the system and confirm all signals have been received by the ADT Central Station.

Corner Mount

1. Hold the backplate in the corner of two adjoining walls – decide whether to mount with the corner-mounting holes on the right or left.
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. To mount the detector on the bracket:
   1. Be sure to mount the detector right-side-up. The narrow end should be at the bottom.
   2. Align the slot on the back of the detector with the slot on the mounted bracket.
   3. Then slide the detector upwards until you hear a click.
      • Make sure the battery side is pointed up.
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 Qolsys panel, 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

Battery Required:  One 3V CR123A

To replace the battery:

1. Log into MyADT.com and place your system on Test, or contact (800) ADT-ASAP to have an agent place the system on test for you.
2. Open the sensor by detaching the front cover of the Motion Detector from its base. Grasp the detector in both hands, press lightly on the point marked C in the image, below, and the cover will pop open.
   • Your panel will show a tamper signal and beep; this is normal.
3. Remove the old battery.
   
   
   
   
4. Insert a new battery. Be sure to observe polarity.
   
   
   
   
5. Carefully realign the front and reattach to base.
6. After re-mounting the device, go to the panel. Then, tap the icon in lower right corner and enter your code (this process is done twice) to clear the tamper signal.
7. Remove your system from test mode.

NOTE: Constant exposure to high or low temperatures or high humidity may reduce battery life.

BATTERY CAUTION: Risk of fire, explosion and burns. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212° F (100° C) or incinerate. Dispose of used batteries properly. Keep away from children.
