Batten mount PIR detector
Overview
The GIMB miniature PIR (passive infrared) presence
detector provides automatic control of lighting loads. It is
specifically designed for mounting onto a batten style
luminaire.
The detector will switch incandescent, fluorescent, compact
fluorescent and LED lighting.
The unit detects movement using a PIR sensor and turns
the load on. When an area is no longer occupied the load
will switch off after a 10 minute time out period.
A selection of fixing washers are supplied to aid fixing to a
variety of luminaires.

Important
Ensure that the Silicone washer and/or the IP spacer are used to ensure IP rating.
Installation
The product is designed to be mounted directly to the outside of a luminaire. The detector should be sited so that the
occupants of the room fall inside the detection pattern (shown opposite), at a recommended ceiling height of 2.8m. Note
that the lower the sensor is installed the smaller the detection range will be, subject to the parameters shown on the
detection diagram.
Do not site within 1m of forced air heating or ventilation..
Do not fix to a vibrating surface.

Power-up test procedure
When power is applied to the unit, the load will turn on immediately.
For the first 5 minutes of operation the time out period is 10 seconds to aid commissioning.
Vacate the room or remain very still for more than 10 seconds and wait for the load to switch off.
Check that the load switches on when movement is detected.
When the 5 minutes have elapsed the time out will be 10 minutes.
Fault finding
What if the load does not turn ON?
Check that the live supply to the circuit is good.
Check that the load is functioning by bypassing the sensor (e.g. link L and L/ Out).
What if the load does not turn OFF?
Ensure that the area is left unoccupied for longer than the 10 minute time out period.
