Troubleshooting
1. Why can’t I receive the alarm message?
1. Ensure that alarm notification is turned on on the RF Bridge settings page.
2. Grant eWelink notification permission.
When eWelink applies for user permissions, it is recommended to grant “Allow” for all, otherwise some functions will not work normally. If it is disabled, please turn on the corresponding permission in the phone settings.
3. Check whether the PIR3-RF is powered.
1. When the PIR3-RF detcets someone moving, the red indicator blinks for one second.
2. When the battery power is low, PIR3-RF will still report the alarm when it detects someone moving, but the red indicator will not be on meanwhile it flashes twice every 30s to indicate that the battery is low in power and needs to be replaced in time.
4. Ensure the distance between RF Bridge and PIR3-RF is within the maximum working distance (30m without any obstacle). The communication distance will be shortened in a blocked environment.
5. Ensure that the RF Bridge is under a good WiFi network and stays online.
2. Why can’t I receive the push notification in time？
1. Please confirm that the phone can receive the push notification at the first point above.
2. If you cannot receive push notifications in time after killing the process, please keep eWelink running in the background.
3. Why does PIR3-RF always be triggered by mistake?
Our products adopt the principle of pyroelectric infrared sensor to detect whether someone moves, which is greatly affected by temperature. In order to reduce false triggering, we suggest that you:
1. In order to prevent false alarm caused by small animal interference, the recommended installation height is 2.0m-2.2m above the ground.
2. Keep away from air conditioner, refrigerator, stove and other temperature sensitive places.
3. No screen, furniture, large bonsai or other isolation objects are allowed within the detection range.
4. Do not face the window directly, otherwise the disturbance of hot air flow outside the window and personnel walking will cause false alarm.
5. Do not install in places with strong airflow.
