READ THIS FIRST:
Check the pack and make sure you have all of
the parts listed on the front of this booklet. If
not, contact the outlet where you bought this
product.
This product must be installed by a
competent person in accordance with the
current building and IEE wiring regulations.
As the buyer, installer and/or user of this
product it is your own responsibility to ensure
that this sensor unit is t for the purpose for
which you have intended it. Eterna Lighting
cannot accept any liability for loss, damage or
premature failure resulting from inappropriate
use.
Switch o the mains before commencing
installation and remove the appropriate circuit
fuse or lock o MCB.
This unit is suitable for outdoor use.
This product is designed for permanent
connection to xed wiring: this must be a
suitable circuit (protected with the appropriate
MCB or fuse).
Before making xing hole(s), check that there
are no obstructions hidden beneath the
mounting surface such as pipes or cables.
When making connections ensure that the
terminals are tightened securely and that
no strands of wire protrude. Check that
the terminals are tightened onto the bared
conductors and not onto any insulation.
This tting is double insulated and does not
require an earth (however there is an earth post
for earth continuity).
This product is not intended to be used by
children and persons with sensory, physical and/
or mental impairments that would prevent them
from using it safely.
You are advised at every stage of your
installation to double-check any electrical
connections you have made. After you have
completed your installation there are electrical
tests that should be carried out, these tests are
specied in the current IEE wiring and building
regulations.
INTRODUCTION:
The PIR (passive infra red) sensing device
continuously scans a preset operating zone and
immediately switches the load-light on when it
detects movement in that area.
This means that whenever movement is detected
within the range of the sensor the load-light will
switch on automatically to illuminate whatever
area you have selected to light. While there is
movement within range of the unit the load light
will remain on.
WHERE TO F IT YOUR PIR SENSOR:
To achieve best results we suggest you take the
following points into consideration:
Do not mount on a surface that has vibration.
Ideally the PIR sensor should be mounted 1.8 to
2.5 metres (6 to 8ft) above the area to be scanned
(refer to Fig.1 below).
To avoid damage to the unit do not aim sensor
towards sun.
Avoid positioning the sensor unit adjacent to a
bright light source which may prevent the unit
from operating when the lux control is set to
operate in dark conditions.
Avoid nuisance false triggering by directing
sensor away from:
Trees and shrubs
Reective surfaces such as smooth white walls
Swimming pools
Heat sources such as boiler ues
The PIR sensor scanning specications
(approximately 12 metres at 110°) may vary
slightly depending on the mounting height and
location. The detection range of the unit may also
alter with temperature change.
INSTALLATION:
When installing the PIR sensor please refer to Fig. 4 below.
1. Switch o the mains before commencing installation.
2. Unscrew and remove the junction box cover.
3. Fix the unit to the mounting surface with the screw supplied, we recommend the unit should be
xed a minimum distance of 2.5 metres above the ground, noting the mounting direction on the
plastic cover. (See Fig. 1 opposite).
4. Connect the power cable and load cable to the terminal block as show in Fig. 4 below. NOTE: 3 core
6A/230VAC cable, not less than 1.5mm
2
diameter not included. The cable must pass through the
rubber grommet.
5. Close the cover and tighten the screw.
6. Restore mains power adjusting the PIR Sensor to desired working requirements.

Before selecting a place to install your PIR
sensor you should note that movement across
the scan area is more eective than movement
directly towards or away from the sensor
(refer to Fig.2 opposite). If movement is made
walking directly towards or away from the
sensor and not across the sensor apparent
detection range will be substantially reduced
(refer to Fig. 3 opposite).

TROUBLESHOOTING AND USER HINTS:
Note: all passive infra red d etectors are more sensitive in cold a nd dry weather than warm and wet
weather.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY
Light does not switch
on when there is
movement in the
detection area.
1. No mains voltage
Check all connections, and MCB Fuses /
switches
2. Nearby lighting is too bright Redirect sensor or relocate the unit
3. Controls set incorrectly Readjust sensor angle or control knob
4. Lamp blown
Check lamp functions and replace if
necessary
5. Lamp not tted correctly
Make sure the lamp is correctly seated in
the lampholder
6. Wired incorrectly
Check wiring and conrm its wired as per
the wiring diagram
7. Sensor positioned in wrong direction
Adjust angle and direction of PIR for best
results walk across beam
Light switches on for
no apparent reason
(false trigger)
1. Heat from lamp body activating sensor
Adjust PIR sensor or oodlight to allow
a minimum gap of 40mm between
oodlight body and sensor head
2. Heat sources such as air-con, vents, heaters,
ues, other outside lighting, moving cars
trees or shrubs are activating sensor
Adjust direction of sensor head away from
these sources
3. Animals / birds activating sensor Redirecting sensor head may help
4. Interference from on/o switching of
electric fans or lights on the same circuit as
your security oodlight.
(This problem does not always occur but a
faulty switch or noisy uorescent light may
cause the security oodlight to switch on)
Should the false triggering become,
troublesome, consider:
(a) Replacing a faulty switch
(b) Replacing noisy uorescent tubes and/
or starters
(c) Connecting the oodlight to a separate
circuit (in most cases where one or
more of the above suggestions have
been carried out, false triggering has
been reduced)
5. Reection from swimming pool, or
reective surface such as smooth white
walls
Redirect sensor
Light remains on
1. Continuously false triggered Redirecting sensor head may help
2. Time is set to long Reduce time
Light remains on at
nighttime
Possible heat source in detection zone
Cover PIR sensor lens with a thick cloth, if
the light turns o check detection area for
heat or reective source, reposition head
Light switches on
during daylight hours
LUX control knob is set to daylight position
Turn the LUX control knob to desired light
level setting
When setting the lux
controls in daylight
the detection
distance becomes
shorter
Interference by sunlight Re-test at night
UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROLS:
(Referring to Fig. 5 below)
ADJUSTING THE DURATION TIME: the length of
time that remains switched on after activation can
be adjusted from (10±5) seconds to (4±1) minutes;
rotating the TIME knob from (+) to (-) will reduce
the duration time.
NOTE: Once the load-light has been triggered by
the PIR sensor any subsequent detection will start
the timed period again from the beginning.
ADJUSTING THE LUX CONTROL LEVEL: the
lux control module has a built-in sensing device
(photocell) that detects daylight and darkness.
Rotating the LUX knob clockwise from light () to
dark ():
The () position denotes that the unit can work
at day and night.
The () position denotes that the unit only works
at night.
You can set the PIR to operate the unit at the
desired level by adjusting the LUX knob.
SETTING THE CONTROLS:
1) Put the LUX control knob to light () position,
turn the power on and wait half a minute for the
control circuit to stabilize. At this stage ensure
that the TIME control knob is set at minimum
duration time (-) position (rotating the TIME
knob clockwise to stop-position). The load-light
will now switch on and remain on for about 30
seconds.
2) Direct the sensor toward the desired area to be
scanned by adjusting the swivel joint on the
sensor arm.
3) Have another person move across the centre
of the area to be scanned and slowly adjust the
angle of the sensor arm until the unit senses
the presence of the moving person, causing the
load-light to switch on (refer to Fig. 2).
4) Adjust time control to required setting.
5) To set the light level at which the load-light
will automatically switch “on” at night, turn the
LUX control knob from daylight () to night
(). If the load-light is required to switch on
earlier, e.g. dusk, wait for the desired light level,
then slowly turn the LUX control knob towards
daylight while someone walks across the centre
of the area to be detected. When the load-light
switches on, release the LUX control knob.
You may need to make further adjustments to
achieve your ideal light level setting.
Important: To avoid dust build-up and ensure
proper functioning of the PIR Sensor, please
wipe the sensor lens lightly with a dry cloth
every 3 months.
