Description

Function and application

The “SOLAR” presence sensor detects the presence of people
and measures the intensity of ambient light. The energy supply
for the presence sensor is provided by solar cells or, if daylight
or articial light is insufcient, by batteries.

The radio control system is primarily used to extend existing
electrical installations without additional cabling.

Function

The values measured by the presence sensor (motion, light
value) are transmitted to the “Switch RC” radio receiver via a ra­dio signal. The measured light value depends on the incidence
of daylight, the articial lighting and the properties of the surface
(light/dark).

The presence sensor is only ensured to function in combination
with the radio receiver. All switching functions and parameter
settings of the presence sensor are executed via the radio

receiver.

The following parameters can be set for every presence sensor
programmed for the radio receiver:

• Delay (switch-off delay time if no motion is detected)

• Light value

• Mode

Note:

More information on the parameter settings can be found in the
separate instructions for the „Switch RC“ radio receiver.

Energy supply from solar cells/batteries

If daylight or articial light is sufcient, the sensor is powered

by solar cells.

For immediate operation, the energy storage unit must rst be
charged for approx. 5 minutes at a minimum of 50 – 100 lux.
For light value measurement to function properly, the energy
storage unit must be charged for several days at a minimum of
50 – 100 lux.

The “Test” button can be used to check the operational readi­ness of the presence sensor; see “Testing the operational
readiness”.

The presence sensor can optionally be operated with batteries
if, for example, the sensor is located in a room with a very low
light value (< 50 lux).

Construction

The presence sensor is made up of the following components:

• “LRN” button (A) for programming the presence sensor for
the radio receiver

• “Test” button (B) for sending a test signal

• Light sensor (C)

• Motion sensor (D)

• Solar cells (E)

• “Test” LED (F) for monitoring the operational readiness

• Housing (G) with battery compartment

Operation

Note

The presence sensor cannot be used to manually switch
the lighting on and off. Because all switching functions and
parameter settings of the presence sensor are executed via the
“Switch RC” radio receiver, the function of the presence sensor
is only ensured in combination with the radio receiver.

Programming the sensor for the radio
receiver

The presence sensor can be programmed for a radio receiver

and can be deleted again.

Proceed as follows:



Activate the programming mode of the radio receiver; see

the separate instructions of the “Switch RC” radio receiver.



Press the “LRN” button.

Then proceed as follows if persons were located within the de­tection area when the presence sensor was being programmed:



Ensure that all persons leave the detection area of the pres-

ence sensor.



Enter the detection area again after at least 2 minutes

elapse.

Result: The presence sensor sends an ON signal and functions

properly.

Operation (cont.)

Testing the operational readiness

For solar operation, the energy storage unit must be sufciently
charged; see “Energy supply via solar cells/batteries”.

To check the operational readiness, proceed as follows:



Press the “Test” button.

The presence sensor sends a test signal.



Check whether the “Test” LED is lit up.

• LED is lit: the presence sensor is operational.

• LED is not lit: the presence sensor is not operational.



Continue charging the energy storage unit if the presence

sensor is not yet operational.

Replacing the batteries

The batteries need to be replaced every 5 – 7 years.

Proceed as follows:



Open the battery compartment on the back of the presence

sensor.



Remove the old batteries.



Insert the new batteries (1.5 V Micro AAA), ensuring that the

polarity is correct.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot remedy the fault, please contact the customer
service department of the manufacturer.

The device is not functional.

Is the energy storage unit sufciently charged?

The device is functional, but the switching functions are
not being carried out.

• Is the device correctly programmed for the radio receiver?
Note: See the separate instructions for the “Switch RC” radio

receiver.

• Is the radio receiver switched off?

• Has the functional range been exceeded?

• Are the radio signals being disturbed by metal objects?

The device is carrying out an undesired functional mode.

Is the “Mode” parameter on the radio receiver set correctly?
Note: See the separate instructions for the “Switch RC” radio

receiver.

The setpoints of the functions are not being reached.

Are the “Time” and “Light value” parameters on the radio
receiver set correctly?
Note: See the separate instructions for the “Switch RC” radio

receiver.
