Testing The HawkEye

1. Set the Transceiver's House code dial to A.

2. Temporarily plug an incandescent lamp into the outlet on the bottom of the Transceiver (first make sure the lamp's power switch is ON).

3. Plug the Transceiver into an AC outlet.

4. Press the ON/OFF button on the face of the Transceiver. You should hear the relay inside click, and the lamp will turn on or off. This verifies that the Transceiver is connected to power and is ready to send and receive commands.

5. Press the ON/OFF button again until the relay (and the lamp) is off.

6. Extend the Transceiver's antenna.

7. Remove the HawkEye's battery cover.

8. Install two AAA batteries (match the polarity as displayed in the battery compartment).

9. Press the HOUSE/ON button located in the battery compartment.

10. The red LED at the top of the HawkEye flashes (pulsates). This indicates that the HawkEye is transmitting.

11. A moment later the relay in the Transceiver should click and the lamp turns on.

12. If the lamp is currently on, press the UNIT/OFF button in the battery compartment.

13. The red LED at the top of the HawkEye flashes.

14. A moment later the relay in the Transceiver should click and the lamp turns off.

Setting The House Code

1. Press and hold the HOUSE/ON button (located in the battery compartment).

2. The red LED flashes.

3. A few seconds later, the HawkEye will report its current House code setting. 1 blink for A, 2 for B, 3 for C all the way to 16 for P.

4. When the HawkEye starts to report its current setting, release the button.

5. If you do not wish to change the current setting, take no further action at this point. A few seconds later, the HawkEye will timeout. The HawkEye will indicate this to you by displaying a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks).

6. Once the HawkEye has finished reporting its current setting, press the button the number of times equal to the House code you wish to set (Once for A, twice for B, thrice for C, etc.) and hold the button down on the last press. Determine the code you wish to use before starting the programming procedure because the HawkEye will only wait a few seconds after it has finished reporting its current setting for you to begin entering the new code.

7. A few seconds later, the red LED will blink the new setting.

8. If the programming fails, the red LED will display a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks). This can occur if you wait too long to start your programming, you press the button more than 16 times, or you press the UNIT/OFF button. If the programming procedure fails, you must start the procedure over.

Setting The Unit Code

1. Press and hold the UNIT/OFF button (located in the battery compartment).

2. The red LED flashes.

3. A few seconds later, the HawkEye will report its current Unit code setting. The total number of blinks equals the unit number.

4. When the HawkEye starts to report its current setting, release the button.

5. If you do not wish to change the current setting, take no further action at this point. A few seconds later, the HawkEye will timeout. The HawkEye will indicate this to you by displaying a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks).

6. Once the HawkEye has finished reporting its current setting, press the button the number of times equal to the Unit code you wish to set and hold the button down on the last press. Determine the code you wish to use before starting the programming procedure because the HawkEye will only wait a few seconds after it has finished reporting its current setting for you to begin entering the new code.

7. A few seconds later, the red LED will blink the new setting.

8. If the programming fails, the red LED will display a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks). This can occur if you wait too long to start your programming, you press the button more than 16 times, or you press the HOUSE/ON button. If the programming procedure fails, you must start the procedure over.

Sensor Detection vs. Motion Direction

For best detection results, mount the HawkEye so the person entering the area will cut across the HawkEye's field of view. Do not mount the HawkEye near hot or cold sources (i.e. heat vents, air conditioners, direct or reflected sunlight) as this may cause false triggering of the HawkEye.

Sensor's fields of view and detection range

Dawn/Dusk Detection
When the HawkEye detects no light (dusk), it will transmit the ON command for the unit number one higher than its current setting. When it detects light (dawn), it will transmit the OFF command for the unit number one higher than its current setting. For example, if a HawkEye is set to A1, it will transmit A2 ON or OFF when dawn or dusk is detected. If the HawkEye is set to unit 16, its dawn/dusk code will be 1.

The lamp that will be controlled by this feature should not be located near the HawkEye. If the lamp is too close, the light generated will cause the HawkEye to "think" it is now dawn; therefore, it will send the OFF command. The light turns off and the light level in the room drops. The HawkEye will then "think" it is dusk and send the ON command. The cycle repeats.
