6. Solució De Problemes

Aquí teniu solucions a problemes comuns que podeu trobar:

  • Sensor not working: If the PIR sensor does not work, adjust the sensing distance by rotating the potentiometer on the PIR sensor first. The sensing distance is approximately 1-5 meters.
  • Module not recognized by computer: Ensure the Micro USB cable you are using is a data cable. Some cables are only capable of charging and will not allow data transfer.
  • Endless loop on the unit: If there is only one piece of music that comes with it, it will be played repeatedly. The music needs to be copied to the TF card, and it will be played first after inserting the TF card. TF card supports up to 8GB.
  • Sensor triggers without anyone passing by: If there is sun around, especially if there is wind, it will trigger. The wind can stir the air to form convection, which affects infrared detection. As long as the sensor head detects infrared changes, it will trigger.
  • Long pressing the button does not stop it: Long press is for loop play mode. Short press the button to stop playback.
  • Product appears defective: If the sensor is unplugged and the module continues to work, the product may be defective.
  • Aquest producte es pot utilitzar a l'aire lliure? This infrared human body sensor will be a little sensitive to the environment outdoors, and it is recommended to use it indoors.
  • Will this play 5 sounds randomly when the sensor is tripped? If there are many stored music files, the first song will be played when the power is turned on, and the following will be played in order.
