That makes no sense at all. The sensor requires power to operate. Why wouldn't you want to do that? It sounds like you are just making up the connections and not reading the directions.
So you didn't read the manual (or you still don't understand what it says). And you didn't contacted someone with same basic eletrics/electronics background to assist you.
I suggested both last year…
