green-i SPIR-F Product Manual

The SPIR-F series of presence detector switches are designed to provide automatic
control of lighting, heating or ventilation loads. They detect movement using a PIR
sensor and turn the load on. When an area is no longer occupied the load will
switch off after an adjustable time out period.

An optional internal light sensor provides additional energy saving in lighting appli­cations (SPIR-LSF). W hen an area is occupied lighting is only switched on when
the level of natural light is below a preset level.

When the unit is first powered up the PIR sensor will always detect immediately
regardless of whether the room is occupied. A selectable power up delay allows the
installer to choose whether the load comes on immediately when the unit is pow­ered up or is kept off for a small time (about 40 seconds) to allow the sensor to
settle.

Wiring

Warning. This device works at mains potential. Be sure to take care when working with electricity.

1. Make sure the load is connected and in working order.

2. Isolate the mains supply to the circuit at the main consumer unit.

3. Connect the controller via the terminal block. Live supply to the L terminal, Neutral to the N terminal and the load to the LIVE OUT terminal.

4. If fitted set the LUX level thumbwheel fully clockwise.

5. Set the time to minimum (fully anticlockwise) and set both switches to ON (0-1/2 hour range, no power up delay) according to the chart below.

6. Screw the unit to the wall and switch the mains supply back on at the distribution board.

7. The load should come on immediately.

8. Vacate the room or remain very still and wait for the load to switch off (should take no more than 2 minutes).

9. Check that the load switches on when movement is detected.

10. Now set the final LUX level and timing by isolating mains supply to the circuit at the main consumer unit.

11. To set the LUX level wait until the level of natural daylight is just enough that lighting is required. Starting with the LUX thumbwheel fully anti­clockwise. Very slowly turn the thumbwheel clockwise until the lights come on. Note that when the LUX thumbwheel is fully clockwise then the
lights will always come on with occupancy.

12. Select the time out range using the switch 1 according to the chart below. Set the time out period using the thumbwheel, fully clockwise is the
maximum (either 1/2 hour or 1 hour depending on the range).

13. If required, select the power up delay (to prevent the load coming on immediately on power up).

14. Screw the unit to the wall and switch the mains supply back on at the distribution board.

Installation

Wire the SPIR-F products as in the diagram.

To switch from more than one position simply wire two or more units
in parallel to achieve two way and intermediate switching.

The detector should be sited so that the occupants of the room fall
inside the detection pattern shown overleaf, at a recommended
height of 1.2m to 1.5m for wall sensors. Note that the higher the
sensor is installed the shorter the detection range will be.

 Avoid direct sunlight entering the sensor.
 Do not site within 1m of forced air heating

or ventilation.

 Do not site within 1m of any lighting.
 Do not fix to a vibrating surf ace.

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.

For LUX versions only, 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.

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
circulating air, heaters or lamps.
