Light Patrol
Cat. 630/3, 630/3A and 630/3ABL
Instruction Manual
2 Introduction
The Light Patrol Security Sensor incorporates a
passive infrared detector that reacts instantly to body
heat and movement. When it senses a person (at a
distance of up to 12 metres) it acts as a switch to turn
the lights on to which it is connected. When body heat
and movement are no longer detected, the lights
switch off after a period of time (adjustable). A builtin photocell deactivates the motion sensor during
daylight hours if required.
The Light Patrol provides convenience, security and safety.
Convenience for family and friends, lighting their way and
making keys easier to locate. Security from intruders who
are unexpectedly blasted by light, which usually has the
effect of scaring them off. Safety by avoiding accidents
caused by unseen obstacles.
1. Do not install when it is raining.
2. Be sure to switch off power source before installing.
3. Make sure the power wiring comes from a circuit
protected by a suitable fuse or circuit breaker.
4. For outdoor installation, a location under eaves is
preferable.
5. This unit must be installed by a licensed electrician
according to local codes and regulations.

• Directed at swimming pools and ponds. The movement
and reflections are likely to create nuisance switching.
• Avoid, if possible, areas which are accessible to animals.
• A position which is subject to drastic changesin
temperature.
• In proximity of air conditioner, dryer or heater.
• In direct sunlight.

1 Specifications
1. Thought should be given to exactly what you would
like the Light Patrol to do. This may influence your
decision as to where to place it. If for instance you
simply wish the lights to turn on when someone
approaches your front door, the sensor should
monitor the pathway leading to the front door. If
however, you have a particular problem area where
intruders can enter silently and undetected, you need
the Light Patrol to monitor this area.
Added security can be achieved by linking the unit
to both outdoor lights and lights or buzzer inside
the house.
The Light Patrol monitors a 180° field of view. In
practice, however, that scanning width may be toowide.
If for instance, the neighbour’s driveway is creating
nuisance switching (your unit is triggered by cars and
people next door) the field of view may need to be
restricted.
Four plastic blinkers are supplied. These can be
inserted into the corner/s of the lens and will blind
the sensor by approx. 13° for each blinker used. All
four blinkers will reduce field of view to approx. 130°.
These may be inserted one side or the other or shared
– depending on the problem that you are attempting to
overcome. (see figure 1)
2. Before installation make sure that the power is off
on that particular circuit. Remove the fuse or turn off
the circuit breaker at the switchboard.
3. Choose a mounting position approximately 2 metres
above the area that you wish to monitor. (The unit may
be mounted to a height of 4 metres.)
4. Remove the base cover and screw it to the wall or
eave through the two screw holes. If brick or concrete,
wall plugs may be needed. Note: ‘Bottom’ is downward.
Or, in the case of eave mounting, ‘bottom’ is closest to
the wall (facing away from monitoring area).
5. Connect the Light Patrol to the power source
according to the ‘wiring instructions'. Then screw the
main unit to the base cover.
6. Turn the power on. Start ‘walk test’(see TEST
MODE on page 3).
Note: Up and down direction of the Light Patrol is
called the ‘tilting angle’. The bigger the tilting angle
the shorter the detection distance – the most ideal tilt
angle is between 0° and 10° (see figure 2.)
Variable field of view
Avoid straight-on monitoring as a person
may not be detected walking straight
‘into’ the sensingarea.
Better to mount obliquely to the expected
direction of approach so that the person
walks ‘through’ the sensing area.

Walk Test
Turn the wall switch on. The light/s should turn on
immediately and will remain on while the detection unit
warms up, for approximately 40 seconds. It will then
turn off. Do a walk test and the light should turn on.
This confirms that the wiring is correct and that the
light is operational. Walk through the coverage area and
adjust the Light Patrol according to your needs. Wait for
about 5 seconds between each walk test. You may need to
insert plastic blinkers (see page 2).
Time adjustment
The time adjustment controls how long the light/s will
stay on after movement is detected. This time varies
between approximately 7 minutes (extreme clockwise) to
approximately 8 seconds (extreme anti-clockwise).
Light adjustment
The light or lux adjustment controls the light level at which
the Light Patrol will switch onwhenin Auto Mode. At the
fully clockwise position the unit will operateand sense
movement 24 hours aday. At thefully anti-clockwise setting
the unit will operate only at night. To obtain the correct
setting turn knob clockwiseuntil the light comes on at the
desiredlux level.
Manual override (Cat 630/3 only)
There will be times when you wish the light to stay on
regardless of motion. This may easily be achieved by
turning the light off and on again within 1 -2 seconds. The
light/s will now remain on until manually switched off.
To return the Light Patrol to the Auto Mode turn the
power ‘off’ for longer than 10 seconds and then switch
back on. Cat 630/3A and 630/3ABL requires special wiring
for manual override (see figure 5).
