9. Tests There are also two extremely important environmental issues that must be considered First as with all passive infra red devices certain conditions and acts of nature may cause false alarms or reduced sensitivity Reflective objects directing sunlight at the Sensor Transmitter Lens can cause false alarms Certain weather conditions such as heavy fog rain or snow can diffuse an object s infra red energy enough so that the object can not be detected Second and most important many household appliances induce noise into the household electrical lines and outlets In order to maximize the range between the Receiver and Transmitter our Receives are highly tuned and very sensitive When possible isolate the Receiver on its own circuit or a circuit that has minimal use by other devices LED Lighting and LED TVs induce a tremendous amount of electrical noise into household circuits Computers and motors also create a high level of electrical noise Other wireless electronic devices such as garage door openers and Wi Fi networks can transmit wireless signals that interfere or create false alarms in your Driveway Alert System PROBLEM My Receiver will not activate when objects pass through the sensor detection zone CORRECT THE ADVERSE CONDITIONS THAT EXIST The Battery in the Sensor Transmitter is not a new high quality alkaline battery The Battery in the Sensor Transmitter is depleted below the voltage required to sense and transmit The
