1 Description

The ESYLUX wall-mounted motion detector is a passive infrared presence detector
which responds to moving heat sources, such as people walking.
The motion detector is designed for areas with low levels of natural light, such as
hallways, cellars, staircases, changing rooms, toilets, garages etc.
Parameters can be configured using the ESYLUX Mobil-PDi/MDi and Mobil-PDi/MDi­universal remote controls.

Note: Use this product only as intended (as described in the user instructions).
The device must not be changed, modified or painted – doing so will void any warranty
claims. You must check the device for damage immediately after unpacking it. If there
is any damage, you should not install the device under any circumstances.
If you suspect that safe operation of the device cannot be guaranteed, you should turn
the device off immediately and make sure that it cannot be operated unintentionally.

2 Safety instructions

• Work on the 230-V power system must be carried out by authorised personnel only,
with due regard to the applicable installation regulations / standards

• Switch off the power supply before installing the system

• On the input side, the device is to be protected against short circuits with a 10-A circuit
breaker

• Protection type IP 40 for interior use

3 Operation / functionality

• The ESYLUX wall-mounted motion detector, which has a 180° field of detection,
is only suitable for wall mounting

• The range is up to 16 m in diameter at a recommended installation height
of 1.10 - 2.20 m

• The motion detector has one channel (C1), which is used for presence-dependent
lighting control

• The setting options can vary depending on the remote control used; please see
“Configuring parameters via remote control”

3.1 Conditions in which the lighting is switched on

The lighting is switched on if the target brightness value is below the preset lux
value and movement is detected in the field of detection. Further movement is
acknowledged by the sensor with two short flashes of the red LED (the LED can be
switched off; see “Configuring parameters via remote control”). Once the lighting has
been switched on, the sensor deactivates light measurement for this period.

3.2 Conditions in which the lighting is switched off

The lighting is switched off if no movement is detected in the field of detection and
the preset switch-off delay time has elapsed.

3.3 Switching delay – not in pulse mode

When persons are present, in order to avoid sudden changes in brightness caused by
undesired switching on / off of the lighting, the detector will only be triggered after a
time delay.

Example: a passing cloud could potentially cause unnecessary switching.

Time delay from light to dark: 30 sec. = red LED lights up during this period.
Time delay from dark to light: 5 min. = red LED flashes slowly during this period

4 Installation / connection

Note: Switch off the power supply before installing the system.

• The detector is designed to be installed in European flush-mounted boxes

• Specifications regarding the range of the detector relate to an ambient temperature
of approx. 20 °C

• Movement crossways to the detector is optimal for triggering the detector; head-on
approaches to the detector are more difficult to detect and therefore the range of
the detector is significantly reduced

• The detector should be positioned depending on the available space and usage
requirements

• Make sure that the detector has a clear line of sight, as infrared beams cannot
penetrate solid objects

• Connect the detector in accordance with the circuit diagram

4.1 Masking the field of detection

Part of the field of detection can be specifically masked off using the lens mask to
avoid false alarms being caused by e.g. pets.

5 Activation

Connect the power supply.

A warm-up phase of 25 seconds is initiated. The red LED (for C1) and the blue LED
flash alternately: 2 x red and 1 x blue. During this time, the lighting is switched on.

6.1 Control via external “S” button

The wall-mounted motion detector is equipped with a connection for an external
button (S terminal). This can be used to switch the lighting on and off manually.

Modes activated by pressing the external button:

Press button for approx. 1 second: The lighting is switched on or off.
Acknowledgement: green LED
Press button for approx. 3 second: The lighting is switched on or off continuously for

4 hours

Acknowledgement: red LED
Press button for approx. 5 second: The lighting is switched on or off continuously for

12 hours

Acknowledgement: blue LED

The LED feedback can be used to determine the mode that the wall-mounted motion
detector is currently switched to.
Example: Please release the button after approx. 3 seconds – the red LED lights up and
the “4 h ON / OFF” mode is activated.
Further parameters can be configured via remote control. Remote controls can be
purchased as accessories.

6.2 Configuring parameters via remote control

Note: For optimum reception, when programming the settings, point the remote

control at the detector. Please note that if the sensor is exposed to direct sunlight, the
standard detection range of approx. 8 m may be dramatically reduced due to the sun's
infrared rays.

Note: The “ON / OFF” mode can be cancelled by pressing the “Reset” button.
“ON” acknowledgement: Movement detected in the field of detection is
acknowledged with two short flashes of the red LED.
“OFF” acknowledgement: Movement detected in the field of detection is
acknowledged with one short flash of the red LED.

Reset / settings

Temporarily set values are cleared and the detector returns to the manually

8 Troubleshooting

Fault Cause

Lighting does not switch on. - Ambient light level is above the preset target brightness value

- Lighting has been switched off manually

- There are people in the field of detection

- There are sources of thermal interference in the field of detection, such as
heating, air-conditioning or moving objects (e.g. curtains by open windows)

- The switch-off delay time has been set too short

Lighting is switched off during the hours of
darkness despite the presence of persons

- Ambient light level is above the preset target brightness value

- Lighting has been switched off manually

Lighting does not switch off or lighting
switches on spontaneously when no
persons are present.

- The switch-off delay time has not yet elapsed

- There are sources of thermal interference in the field of detection, such as
heating, air-conditioning or moving objects (e.g. curtains by open windows)

Button does not work. - Device is still in the start-up phase

- Illuminated button has been used without a neutral wire connection

- Button is not routed to the “S terminal”

Lighting switches on and off in warm-up
phase.

- Detector exposed to too much artificial light

Detector does not respond. - Check the power supply

8.1 Maintenance

The wall-mounted motion detector does not contain any components that require
maintenance. The device can only be replaced as a complete unit.

Note: This device must not be disposed of as unsorted household waste. Used

devices must be disposed of correctly. Contact your local town council for more
information.

guarantee against manufacturing/material defects in ESYLUX devices for a period of
three years from the date of manufacture.
This guarantee is independent of your legal rights with respect to the seller of the
device.
The guarantee does not apply to natural wear and tear, changes/interference caused
by environmental factors or damage in transit, nor to damage caused as a result of
failure to follow the user or maintenance instructions and/or as a result of improper

The guarantee can only be honoured if the device is sent back with the invoice/
receipt, unchanged, packed and with sufficient postage to the guarantor, along with a
brief description of the fault, as soon as a defect has been identified.
If the guarantee claim proves justified, the guarantor will, within a reasonable period,
either repair the device or replace it. The guarantee does not cover further claims;
in particular, the guarantor will not be liable for damages resulting from the device’s
defectiveness. If the claim is unfounded (e.g. because the guarantee has expired or
the fault is not covered by the guarantee), then the guarantor may attempt to repair
the device for you for a fee, keeping costs to a minimum.
