A Wattz Electronics C-U model motion sensor. Detects the movement of biological material over a distance of meters using a tuned radar device.
”A Wattz Electronics C-U model motion sensor, or simply motion sensor is a miscellaneous item in Fallout and Fallout 2.
Characteristics
The motion sensor is a computer auxiliary that detects the movement of biological material over a distance of meters using a tuned radar device.[1]
If placed in an active item slot, the motion sensor can be used in conjunction with the Pip-Boy 2000 AutoMap feature. The motion sensor will display all living and moving beings on the map - represented as red dots - if the "Scanner" button under the AutoMap is clicked.[2][3] The C-U model is only compatible to the PIP-Boy 2000 or earlier models; the PIP-Boys Vault City is equipped with are too advanced to use this auxiliary.[2]
In Fallout 2, carrying a motion sensor in your inventory gives you a 20% bonus to the Outdoorsman skill when traveling on the world map. It's battery life is displayed in the Interface bar's ammo meter.
Locations

Notes
- The AutoMap Scanner feature can be used to scan the area ahead and to plan accordingly, despite its need of an active item slot.
