Sun on PR511 Motion Sensor
« on: September 12, 2007, 09:27:22 PM »

When I position my motion sensor horizontal as the instruction say I should do the sun shines on it in the late afternoon. If I aim it downward it doesn't work well. Has anyone had this problem and will it damage my sensor.

Thanks for any help you may have.

Had the same issue when mounting mine.  Finally just positioned it so it worked best for motion detection and let 'er ride.  Still working fine after a couple years!   8)

In the real world, the only constant is change.
