GeoMD Product Description:
The GeoMD is a wireless 433 MHz encrypted PIR motion detector with adjustable 33 to 55 lbs. pet immunity, that is designed to fit seamlessly in the corner of any room. When the passive-infrared sensor detects movement, the GeoMD then transmits an alarm notification signal to the GeoAlarm control panel (GeoCP), end-user, and/or GeoArm central monitoring station informing everyone selected of an alarm initiating event.
We recommend using the provided screws for the GeoMD installation. This method is more secure than using the adhesive alone. Select the desired position for the sensor. Keep in mind, that the sensor detects motion within 3.28 ft (1m) in front of it installed at 6.88 ft (2.1m) having a range of 32.80 ft (10m). We recommend mounting the detector between 7.5 to 9.5 feet above the ground, and aiming it at a highly trafficked area. The GeoMD detects motion from 19.68 (6m) to 32.80 (10m) feet using an 90 degree detection angle.
The GeoMD requires a CR123A battery, that provides approximately 6 years of life (with average use x100 per day). Once the battery is low, the GeoAlarm GeoCP panel displays a low battery icon next to the sensor in the devices list. The battery must be replaced within 7 days of the first low battery notification. If the battery is not replaced within 7 days, the sensor may not function properly.

- Encrypted 433 MHz Wireless Sensor
- Adjustable Pet Immunity from 33 to 55 lbs.
- Transmits Tamper and Low Battery Alarms
- 8 years of battery life (using CR123A battery)

GeoMD Product Installation:
The GeoMD motion sensor can be installed using the provided adhesive and/or screws. We recommend using the provided screws for installation. This method is more secure than using adhseive alone.
Please Note Add the motion detector to the GeoCP panel before installation.
Important Safety Instructions:
- Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
- When there is a low battery, replace with a compatible lithium ion battery.
To install the motion detector:
1. Select the desired position for the sensor. The sensor detects motion within 3.28 ft (1m) in front of it installed at 6.88 ft (2.1m) having a range of 32.80 ft (10m).2. Remove the sensor's battery pull tab.
3. Adhere the sensor to the wall using the provided screws and/or adhesive. We recommend using the provided screws for installation. This method is more secure than using adhesive.
Using Screws
a. Locate the bottom of the sensor (the slotted short end), and then use a screwdriver to remove the casing's screw.
b. Gently slide a fingernail/fingertip into the slot and push the top casing of the sensor upward. (You can see the FCC label on the inside of sensor casing.)
c. Remove the adhesive film cover and then place the back plate against the wall, making sure that the orientation is correct for the desired position. Note, once placed the sensor cannot be moved without damaging the adhesive. (Optional)
d. Insert the included mounting screw into the screw breakaway screw hole, using a screwdriver to fully secure the backplate to the wall.
e. Before finishing installation, set the PINs and jumpers to the desired position.
f. Once the sensor is configured as desired, press the sensor cover against the base, until there is an audible snap.
g. Use the sensor's casing screw to secure the cover.
Using Adhesive
a. Locate the bottom of the sensor (the slotted flat end), and then use a screwdriver to remove the casing's screw.
b. Gently slide a fingernail/fingertip into the slot and push the top casing of the sensor upward.
c. Set the PINs and jumpers to the desired position.
d. Once the sensor is configured as desired, press the sensor cover against the base, until there is an audible snap.
e. Use the sensor's casing screw to secure the cover.
f. Peel the film cover off the adhesive, and then firmly press the sensor back plate against the wall. Once placed the sensor cannot be moved without damaging the adhesive.
h. Remove the adhesive film cover, and then place the back plate against the wall, making sure that the orientation is correct for the desired position. Note, once placed the sensor cannot be moved without damaging the adhesive.
i. Insert the included mounting screw into the screw breakaway screw hole, using a screwdriver to fully secure the backplate to the wall.
j. Before finishing installation, set the PINs and jumpers to the desired position.
k. Once the sensor is configured as desired, press the sensor cover against the base, until there is an audible snap.
l. Use the sensor's casing screw to secure the cover.
4. Add the sensor to the panel, by putting the GeoCP panel in learning mode, then pressing the button on the side of the sensor to pair the sensor to the panel. 5. Once added, test the sensor. Look at the GeoCP panel, and then open the door/window. Notice that the added sensor displays faulted.
Note: Testing all sensors to the GeoArm alarm monitoring station is strongly advised.
GeoMD Battery Replacement:
The GeoMD motion detector requires a CR123A battery. Once the battery is low, the GeoCP panel displays a low battery icon next to the sensor in the devices list. The battery must be replaced within 7 days of the first low battery notification. If the battery is not replaced within 7 days, the sensor may not function property.
To Replace the Battery:
1. Locate the bottom of the sensor (the slotted flat end), and then use a screwdriver to remove the casing's screw.2. Gently slide a fingernail/fingertip into the slot and push the top casing of the sensor outward, away from the wall.
3. Use a fingernail/fingertip to push the battery out of the casing, noting the polarity of the battery.
4. Insert a new CR123A battery into the battery casing, making sure that the polarity is correct.
5. Press the sensor cover back onto its back plate. There will be an audible snap.
6. Use the sensor's casing screw to secure the cover.
7. Test the sensor.
Warning: If an incompatible replacement battery is used, or the battery is installed incorrectly explosion or damages may occur.
GeoMD Pin Function:
The PIR Motion Sensor has 2 sets of adjustable pins. The pins adjust the Pet Immunity setting and the Sensivity level. Each set of pins has 2 settings that can be selected.
Pin Configuration:

This motion detectors compact size is a major plus, as it blends seamlessly around my home without being obtrusive. Despite its small size, it doesn't compromise on performance. The sensitivity and range of detection I find to be remarkable, providing me a great sense of security. And, the price point is the cherry on top, as other wireless motion detectors, from other brands, are far more expensive.
