It is NOT possible to have a wireless
intercom or monitoring system and a
MESSENGER HUB operating in the
same house.  It is possible that a
neighbor’s wireless intercom or
monitoring system could cause
unexpected operation, including failure to
operate, of your FREEWIRE system, or
that your FREEWIRE SYSTEM could
cause unexpected operation, including
failure to operate, of your neighbors
intercom or monitoring system.

KEY CHAIN REMOTE RANGE OF USE
Placing the MESSENGER HUB on the
inside wall closest to driveway or entry
way, will often maximize range of KEY
CHAIN REMOTE.

LIGHTS CONTROLLED BY HARDWIRE
SWITCH WILL NOT TURN ON
If your HARDWIRE SWITCH does not
turn on the light you have chosen it to
control it may be necessary to:

•Check to make sure that the HOUSE
CODE dial is set to the same HOUSE
CODE you have chosen for your
MESSENGER HUB.

WARNING: 

Disconnect the power at the

circuit breaker / fuse panel. To avoid fire
or electric shock turn OFF power at the
circuit breaker / fuse panel. Test that the
power is OFF before proceeding.

•Check to make sure that bulb changing
slide switch is in the ON (right) position.

“FALSE” TRIGGERING OF THE
MOTION DETECTOR
All motion detectors work by detecting a
change in temperature, for instance,
when a warm body passes by.  Therefore
they can be tripped by changes in
temperature, such as when clouds pass
over the sun on a sunny day.  MOTION
DETECTORS should not be installed in
direct sunlight or over heating or air
conditioning vents.  They can also be
inadvertently tripped by birds and
animals but will not likely be tripped by
moths or insects.

MOTION DETECTOR WILL NOT
TRANSMIT ON/OFF SIGNAL
If your MOTION DETECTOR does not
appear to be sending an ON/OFF signal
to your chosen device it may be
necessary to:

•Check the orientation of the installed
batteries.
•Check to make sure that the UNIT
CODE dial is set to the same UNIT
CODE as the device you have chosen
to control. For example, if the LAMP

RECEIVER controlling the lamp  that
you want the MOTION DETECTOR to
activate is set to Blue 12, the dial on
your MOTION DETECTOR must also
be set to Blue 12.
•Move the MOTION DETECTOR to a
different location. Motion can be
detected within 20 feet with the
MOTION DETECTOR mounted 6 feet
off the ground.

THE MOTION DETECTOR
CONTROLLED LIGHT, APPLIANCE OR
CAMERA DOES NOT STAY ON LONG
ENOUGH

The default time on your MOTION
DETECTOR is 1 minute but you can
change this time by turning the OFF
TIME DELAY dial.
