Operation and Modes

The Sabre Motion Sensor Alarm offers two distinct modes of operation, each designed to provide tailored security for your home or workspace⁚

Troubleshooting

While the Sabre Motion Sensor Alarm is designed for reliable operation, occasional issues may arise. This section provides solutions for common problems you might encounter⁚
