The MS-12TE / MS-12FE Dual Zone Outdoor PIR Motion Detector is an outdoor detector that features dual zone detection, allowing it to detect two areas simultaneously. It is also weatherproof, allowing it to be used in harsh weather conditions.
This instruction manual describes the MS-12TE and MS-12FE dual zone outdoor PIR motion detectors. It covers parts description, precautions, detection area patterns and coverage, horizontal and wall detection, detection distance adjustment, area masking, and mode settings. It explains installation precautions such as maintaining an install height of 2.6' to 4.0' (0.8 to 1.2 m), avoiding exhaust vents, strong light, and electrical noise.
The adjustment sections cover sensitivity adjustment from 30% to 170%, delay time from about 2 sec to 5 min, selectable N.O./N.C. contact output, LED ON/OFF, and pulse count. The MS-12FE has two sets of switches for the upper and lower sensor and a selectable AND or OR detection mode.

Keep the install height from 2.6' to 4.0' (0.8 to 1.2 m).
The Operation LED blinks for about 1 minute after power is supplied, and the unit does not operate during this sensor stabilizing period.
The detection distance is set by adjusting the angle of the downward zone, with an adjustable range of 6.6' (2 m) to 40' (12 m) in 10 ranges.
An alarm signal is issued only when both the upper and lower sensors detect objects simultaneously.
