Re: Problem with Visonic K9-80

Sounds like it's working fine.

Leave the room empty for 5 or so minutes (no people, no animals) then walk
test it.
PIRs are generally less sensitive when you move directly towards it, rather
than across the detection fields.

| Hello,
|
| I purchased and installed the Visonic K9-80 based on recommendations
| that I found in this forum. However, I am having problems with it in
| that it appears to not go off when it should. I can often walk right
| down the middle of the room right across it's field of view and it
| will not go off. Other times it will. Once, I had a person and 2 dogs
| walk in front of the detector and it didn't go off. I can not find any
| pattern for when it detects me and when it does not. I believe the
| coverage left to right is fine because when I'm higher up on the
| stairs all the way to the side of the room it always picks me up. The
| detector is mounted 8 feet off the ground (floor to bottom of
| detector) in the corner of the room. The sensitivity is set to 2
| (middle). I have the vertical adjustment set to 8 feet. The only thing
| that comes to mind is that somehow the verticle adjustment is wrong
| and it thinks that I am below 3 feet and is ignoring me. But I did
| adjust the verticle adjustment as outlined in the manual. Any
| suggestions or could this just be a dud?

| Thanks!
