Roomba set off alarm

My Roomba set the alarm off this morning. We have just switched from the older generation to the newer generation with the new sensors. I think maybe the light on the Roomba hit the motion sensor and set it off. If I turn the sensor upside down, will this possibly solve the issue? What else can I do?

@debotto The Motion Sensor looks for sources of heat moving throughout a room. If your Roomba was able to get close enough to the Motion Sensor, it could have tripped the device. 

 

It can help to mount the sensor 4 feet off the ground, with its Test Button on the bottom. The way, the Motion Sensor will look up and out - not at the floor.
