The system includes two motion sensors. Three types are available: flush-mounted (comes with a back box; install the back box with screws, then clip the sensor in), surface-mounted (small and light; attach using double-sided adhesive tape or glue), and baluster-mounted (designed to fit within a baluster; insert into a correctly sized recess and secure with adhesive tape, glue, or another preferred method). Position one motion sensor at the top of the stairs and the other at the bottom, ensuring that anyone entering the staircase will cross the sensor's detection beam. Each motion sensor is supplied with a 3-core cable, typically colored red, black, and green. For each sensor, insert each core wire into the corresponding color-coded terminal on the control unit. Pay close attention to which terminals are designated for the top sensor ('Góra') and which for the bottom sensor ('Dół'). Tighten the terminal screws firmly to ensure a secure connection for all wires.
