Avoid nuisance / false t riggering by directing s ensor
away from:

• Trees and shrubs

• Reective su rfaces such as smooth white w alls

• Swimming pools

• Heat sources such as b oiler ues

The PIR sensor sc anning specications
(approximately 12 metres at 180°) may v ary slightly
depending on the mounting height and location.

The detecti on range of the unit may also alter w ith
temperature cha nge. Before selectin g a place to
install your PIR o odlight you should note that
movement across the s can area is more eective
than movement dire ctly towards or away from the
sensor. (Refer g.2).

If movement is made w alking directly towards o r
away from the senso r and not across the sensor
the apparent dete ction range will be subs tantially
reduced (refer g . 3).

INTRODUCTION:

The oodlight i ncorporates a PIR (Passive Infra R ed)
sensing device wh ich continuously scans a prese t
operating zon e and immediately switches th e light
on when it detec ts movement in that area.

This means that whe never movement is detecte d
within the range o f the sensor the light will switch
on automaticall y to illuminate the area you have
selected to l ight. While there is movement wi thin
range of the unit th e light will remain on.

• Disconnect the po wer and clean the exterior o nly of
this tting wit h a moist (not wet) cloth.

• Do not use any chemic al or abrasive cleaners.

WHERE TO F IT YOUR PIR FLOODLIGHT:

To achieve best results we su ggest you take the
following points into consideration:

Do not mount on a sur face that has vibration.

Ideally the PIR o od light should be mounted 1.8 to

2.5 metres (6 to 8f t) above the area to be scanned

(refer to g.1 below).

To avoid damage to the unit do not ai m sensor

UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROLS:

(Referring to Fig.5 above)

ADJUSTING TH E DURATION TIME:
The length of tim e that unit remains switched on
after acti vation can be adjusted fro m (5±1) seconds
to (8±1) minutes app roximately. Rotating the TIME
knob from (+) to (-) will reduce the dur ation time.

Note: Once the light has be en triggered by the PIR
sensor any subseq uent detection will sta rt the timed
period again from the beginning.

ADJUSTING TH E LUX CONTROL LEVEL:
The Lux control mo dule has a built-in sensing device
(photocell) that d etects daylight and dark ness. The
(R) position denotes that th e oodlights can work
at day and night, and the () p osition only work at
night. You can set to oper ate the unit at the desired
level by adjusting t he LUX knob.

ADJUSTING TH E SENSITIVITY:
The sensitivi ty means the maximum dist ance which
PIR sensor can be tr iggered by movement - turning
the SENS knob fro m (+) to (-) will decrease th e
sensitivity.

SETTING THE CONTROLS:
WALK TEST

Turn the Lux control knob to li ght (R) ensure that the
TIME control kn ob is set at minimum duration time
(-) position (rotating th e TIME knob anti-cloc kwise
to stop-po sition). The oodlight will now sw itch on
and remain on for ab out 5-15 seconds af ter each
detection.

01) Direct the se nsor toward the desired area to be
scanned by adjus ting the swivel joint on the
sensor arm.

Important: loosen the lock nuts and screws
on sensor and oodlight before making any
adjustments.

02) Have anoth er person move across the center
of the area to be scan ned and slowly adjust the
angle of the senso r arm until the unit senses
the presence of th e moving person, causing th e
oodlight to swi tch on (refer to Fig. 2).

03) Adjust time control to required setting.

04) To set the lig ht level at which the oodlight wi ll
automatically s witch “on” at night, turn the LUX
control knob fr om daylight (R) to night (). If the
oodlight is req uired to switch on earlier, e.g.
dusk, wait for th e desired light level, then slow ly
turn the LUX control kn ob towards daylight while
someone walk s across the center of the area to
be detecte d. When the oodlight switc hes on,
release the LUX contro l knob. You may need to
make further a djustments to achieve your ide al
light level set ting.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND USER HINTS:

Note: all passive infra re d detectors are more se nsitive in cold and dry weather th an 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 conrm 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. Reduce sensitivity (if available)

3. Animals / birds activating sensor

Redirecting sensor head may help (Reduce
sensitvity settings)

4. I nterference 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. Reec tion from swimming pool, or reective
surface such as smooth white walls

Redirect sensor

Light remains on

1. Continuously false triggered Redirecting sensor head may help

2. Time is set too 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
reective source, reposition head and decrease
the sensitivity setting if this control is available

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
