Techman Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Is there a way to remotely adjust the detection sensitivity (2842-222 v.41)? The unit is installed outside and I'm getting phantom triggers due to temperature changes. If not, can the senistivity still be adjusted locally if the pin 5 jumper (remote management) is set to on or do I have to remove the pin 5 jumper and leave it off in order to reduce the detection range by placing a jumper on pin 1?
LeeG Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Sensitivity cannot be adjusted programmatically. I believe the sensitivity jumper is independent of Jumper 5. In other words the sensitivity should be reduced when Jumper 1 is installed regardless of whether Jumper 5 is in place or not. Be sure to follow the instructions regarding Set button tap and 10 second Wait before generating motion detection. I have found it better to adjust the field of view of the motion sensor rather than reducing the sensitivity. Provide some feedback on reducing sensitivity.
Techman Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks Lee. I decided to put the jumper on pin 1 and left the jumper on pin 5. There's no way to really tell if the senistivity is reduced. I'll give it a few days to see if I get any false outs.
LeeG Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I have not played with sensitivity for a few years but from what I remember it was a noticeable reduction inside in a controlled environment. Be sure to follow the user guide instructions about tapping Set button and waiting 10 seconds. As I remember just putting jumper 1 in place did not change the sensitivity.
