2. Description and Operation
The MWS3A-PRM-L3 (microwave) detector provides automatic control of lighting loads with optional
manual control. It can be used on incandescent, fluorescent and compact fluorescent lighting, and has the
added benefit of being able to connect an external switch. The MWS3A-PRM-L3 detects movement using
a highly sensitive microwave detector. This works by emitting low power microwave signals and measuring
the reflections as the signals bounce off moving objects. The MWS3A-PRM-L3 has a unique adjustable
sensor head that allows the area of detection to be optimised for the application.
When movement is detected the load will automatically turn on. When the area is no longer occupied the
load will automatically switch off after an adjustable time period. An integral adjustable photocell allows the
lights to be kept off if there is sufficient ambient light.
An integral infra-red sensor in the unit allows the unit to be programmed using the optional DD-LCDHS
programming handset. This gives complete flexibility over many of the operating parameters. Without the
handset, manual adjustments can be made to the sensitivity, lux and time settings using controls
accessible behind the lens.
The UHS user handset can be used to change output lux levels and override the lights on or off.
This product is supplied complete with a 3m lead.

3. Wiring & Installation
1. Wire the products using the diagram opposite.
2. To switch from more than one position simply wire two or more units in parallel using the Live,
Neutral and Switched Live wires only.
3. The detector should be sited so that the occupants of the room fall inside the detection pattern
shown in section 9.
4. Corridors or aisles: the unit should be placed at the end of the corridor or aisle and the sensor
head should be angled to look down the corridor or aisle.
5. Open plan areas and offices: the unit can be mounted in a corner looking outwards in which
case the sensor head should be angled . Or the unit can be mounted in the centre of the area
with the sensor head flat.
Note that the higher the sensor is installed the shorter the detection range will be.
Sites as far away as possible from any lighting or ventilation equipment.
Do not fix to a vibrating surface.
Do not fix to a suspended luminaire.
Site as far away as possible from the surface of metal objects.
7. Mount using one of the two options overleaf.
8. Connect the sensor via the prewired lead. Live supply to the Brown core; Load to the Black core;
Neutral to the Blue core.
9. Use a small screwdriver to set the LUX level adjuster fully clockwise, the time to minimum (fully
anticlockwise) and the sensitivity to maximum (fully clockwise) using the diagram in section 7.
10. Power the unit up—the load should come on immediately.
11. Vacate the room or remain very still and wait for the load to switch off (should take no more than 2
minutes).
12. Check that the load switches on when movement is detected.
13. The LUX thumbwheel determines the ambient light level at which the lights turn on.
14. Select the time using the adjuster, fully clockwise is the maximum.
15. The area of detection can be varied by altering the angle of the sensor head and the sensitivity
adjuster. Note: on maximum sensitivity this unit is extremely sensitive to movement and may
detect through glass, thin walls or partitions. If this causes a problem reduce the sensitivity by
turning the adjuster anticlockwise.
16. Using the UHS or UHS3 infra-red handset: the override on button turns the unit on permanently;
the override off button turns the unit off permanently; the cancel button cancels the overrides.
When an override is selected an LED will flash inside the unit. The UHS handset can also be used
to set the lux levels—see Section 8.3
Note: the above adjustments can also be made using the DD-LCDHS handset instead of the manual
adjusters or external switches. See section 8.

LOAD DOES NOT COME ON
Check to see if the live supply to the circuit is
good. Strap across the L and LIVE OUT terminal
to turn the load on.
If the supply and wiring are good, check the LUX
level setting. Increase the LUX level setting to
allow the controller to turn on at higher ambient
natural light level.
10. Fault Finding
LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF
Ensure that the area is left unoccupied for a
greater time period than the time out period set
using the switch.
Make sure that the sensor is not adjacent to
vibrating surfaces or objects (e.g. ventilation
equipment).
The unit may pick up movement through thin
partitions or walls. Reduce the sensitivity by
turning the adjuster anticlockwise.
