MS14A EAGLEEYE INSTRUCTIONS

CONTENTS
 

Introduction The following instructions cover the configuration of the EagleEye (MS14A) Motion Sensor. At a minimum, a Transceiver (TM751 or RR501) is required to test the EagleEye. The EagleEye is a weatherproofed version of the MS13A HawkEye II.

Setup When batteries are installed in the EagleEye, you need to wait 30 seconds before it will see any motion.

After a transmission, you need to wait 10 seconds before the EagleEye will see you.

The default House/Unit code is A1.

The default for motion detection is at all times (day and night).

The default time out after no motion is detected is 1 minute.

Testing The EagleEye

  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 EagleEye'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 EagleEye flashes (pulsates). This indicates that the EagleEye 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 EagleEye 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 EagleEye 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 EagleEye 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 EagleEye will timeout. The EagleEye will indicate this to you by displaying a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks).

  6. Once the EagleEye 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 EagleEye 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 EagleEye will report its current Unit code setting. The total number of blinks equals the unit number.

  4. When the EagleEye 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 EagleEye will timeout. The EagleEye will indicate this to you by displaying a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks).

  6. Once the EagleEye 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 EagleEye 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.

Setting The Motion Detection Mode

This configures the EagleEye to detect motion at all times or only at night. The default setting is to detect motion at all times.

  1. Press the UNIT/OFF button once.

  2. The red LED flashes.

  3. Press and hold the HOUSE/ON button.

  4. The green LED (located behind the sensor window) turns on.

  5. A few seconds later, the EagleEye reports its current setting. Release the button. One blink represents detect motion at all times. Two blinks represents detect motion only at night.

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

  7. To change the current setting, press the HOUSE/ON button once to detect motion at all times and twice to detect motion only at night. Hold the button down on the last press.

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

  9. 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 2 times, or you press the UNIT/OFF button. If the programming procedure fails, you must start the procedure over.

Setting The No Motion Delay

When no motion is detected, the default amount of time that will pass before the OFF command is transmitted is 1 minute. The following procedure allows you to alter this setting.

  1. Press the HOUSE/ON button once.

  2. The red LED flashes.

  3. Press and hold the UNIT/OFF button.

  4. The green LED (located behind the sensor window) turns on.

  5. A few seconds later, the EagleEye reports its current setting. Release the button.

    The total number of blinks represent the following delay times:

    Blinks Minutes
    1 1
    2 2
    3 4
    4 8
    5 16
    6 32
    7 64
    8 128
    9 256

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

  7. To change the current setting, first select the delay time you wish to use from the chart above and remember the blink value listed to the left of it (i.e. for 64 minutes there are 7 blinks). Determine the time you wish to use before starting the programming procedure because the EagleEye will only wait a few seconds after it has finished reporting its current setting for you to begin entering the new setting.

  8. Press the UNIT/OFF button the number of times equal to the blink value in the chart above. Hold the button down on the last press (i.e. for a setting of 64 minutes, press the UNIT/OFF button 7 times and hold on the last press).

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

  10. 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 2 times, or you press the HOUSE/ON button. If the programming procedure fails, you must start the procedure over.
Behind The Scenes Motion Detection
The EagleEye "sees motion" using passive infrared (PIR) detection. Passive infrared detection refers to the detection of a change in heat in an area or emitted by an object (i.e. body heat). The EagleEye is triggered when the level of heat detected changes from the ambient temperature to a higher or lower temperature.


Sensor Detection vs. Motion Direction

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


Sensor's fields of view and detection range

Dawn/Dusk Detection
When the EagleEye 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 an EagleEye is set to A1, it will transmit A2 ON or OFF when dawn or dusk is detected. If the EagleEye 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 EagleEye. If the lamp is too close, the light generated will cause the EagleEye 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 EagleEye will then "think" it is dusk and send the ON command. The cycle repeats.
