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 opposite any other light sources such as other
security lights.
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.

LIGHT POLLUTION

To reduce the risk of light pollution, consider the following when installing the any lights controlled
by this unit.
Position the light to ensure that the light emitted does not encroach onto neighbouring properties.
Angle the floodlight downward to focus the illumination onto the ground, not into the sky.
Consider using a lower wattage bulb to save energy and reduce high light output if not required.
