SECTION ONE

GENERAL INFORMATION

The unit utilises passive infrared technology to detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.
Upon detection, the lamp will illuminate for a user-determined time period. An integral daylight
sensor ensures night-only operation. This unit has a dual light level operation. During darkness
the lamp will illuminate constantly at a user defined light level until it detects movement, then the
unit will switch to full brightness for a user defined time on period.

PARTS INCLUDED

- Luminaire PIR Sensor unit.

- Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future reference.

- Accessory Pack.

- Tungsten halogen bulb

TOOLS & PARTS NEEDED

- 3 core flexible rubber cable (1.0mm² or 1.5mm² "H05RN-F")

- Electric/hand-held drill & bits.

- Terminal or Electrician’s screwdriver

- Large slotted/philips screwdriver

- Wire cutters

Unit is for outdoor use only. Unit must be mounted on a non-flammable surface as a fixed
luminaire, and is not suitable for portable use.
The unit can get very hot during use. Ensure the unit has cooled before handling.
Ensure adequate ventilation space is allowed between the unit and any object above, in front or
to either side of the unit. Suggested space is 0.5m above, 0.3m to either side & 1.0m in front.
Do not attempt to install during wet weather, if you are suffering from nausea or dizzy spells or on
medication with similar side effects.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified tradesperson or electrician.

SECTION TWO

SELECTING THE LOCATION

The motion detector has a number of detection zones, at various vertical and horizontal angles
as shown (see diagram A).
A moving human body needs to cross/enter one of these zones to activate the sensor. The best
all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted at the optimum height of 2.5m.

Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum performance. See diagram A
detailing detection range and direction.

The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its field of vision than to movement directly
TOWARDS (see diagram B). Therefore position the unit so that the sensor looks ACROSS the
likely approach path.
Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any sources of heat in the detection area (extractor
fans, tumble dryer exhausts etc.) including any other light sources such as other security lighting.
Reflective surfaces (ie pools of water or white-painted walls) and overhanging branches may
cause false activation under extreme conditions.

During extreme weather conditions the motion sensor may exhibit unusual behaviour. This
does not indicate a fault with the sensor. Once normal weather conditions return, the sensor will
resume normal operation.

SECTION THREE

INSTALLATION

After choosing a suitable location (see previous section) install the unit as follows:

The unit is suitable for connection to a 240V 50Hz electricity supply. It is suggested that
3-core round flexible cable of 1mm² gauge is used. An internal switch should be installed to
switch the power to the unit ON & OFF. This allows the sensor to be easily switched off when not
required or for maintenance purposes.

Unfasten the clip on the top of the floodlight glass shield. Install the halogen bulb, making sure
not to touch the bulb with bare hands. It is suggested that the bulb is handled using a dry cloth.
Ensure the bulb is correctly fitted in the lampholder before use.
Re-attach the clip to secure the glass shield to the floodlight.

Remove the wall plate from the unit by inserting a terminal screwdriver into the slot at the top,
See diagram D.

Mark the position of the fitting holes.

Drill the holes. Insert wallplugs into the holes.

BEFORE SECURING THE WALLPLATE TO THE WALL PIERCE & PASS THE CABLE
THROUGH THE GROMMET.

Attach the wall plate to the wall. See Diagram E

CONNECTION

Connect the cable to the terminal block on the wallplate as follows (see connection diagram):

NEUTRAL (Blue) N
EARTH (Green/Yellow)
LIVE (Brown) L

Ensure that the connections are secure.

To reattach the unit to the wall plate line up the two pins at the top of the unit.

Push the unit against the wall plate and the unit will 'Click' into place. Ensure that the bottom clip
is fully closed to ensure a water proof seal.

See Diagram F.

SECTION FOUR

OPERATION AND TESTING

WALK TESTING PROCEDURE

The sensor will rotate from left to right. Adjust the sensor to point in the desired direction.

See diagram A & H for the different sensor patterns and lens masking.

See diagram C & I for the adjustment controls. Set the Time,Dusk and Dim control as follows :

TIME - Fully anti-clockwise
DUSK - Fully clockwise
Dim - Fully anti clockwise

The unit will now operate during daytime as well as at night, illuminating the lamp for approx.
5 seconds each time. This allows testing to be carried out to establish the best position for the
sensor.

Switch on the mains power. The lamp will immediately illuminate as the unit goes through its
"warm-up" period. After approximately 1 - 2 minutes the lamp will extinguish. Try to remain
outside the detection area during the warm-up period.

Walk across the detection area approx 5 metres from the unit. As you cross a detection "zone"
the lamp will illuminate. Now stand still until the lamp extinguishes (this should take approx. 5
seconds).

Start moving again. As you cross each "zone" the lamp will illuminate.

Repeat the above, walking at various distances and angles to the unit. This will help you to
establish the detection pattern.
