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.

PARTS INCLUDED

- PIR Sensor unit.

- Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future reference.

- Accessory Pack.

TOOLS & PARTS NEEDED

- Electric/hand-held drill & bits.

- Terminal or Electricians screwdriver

- Large slotted/philips screwdriver

- Wire cutters

This product is suitable for wall or ceiling mount.
Lighting loads connected must not exceed maximum 3000W filament/incandescent,
500W fluorescent/low energy.

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.).
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:

Switch off the electricity at the fuse box by removing the relevant fuse or

switching off the circuit breaker before proceeding with the installation.

Remove the wiring box cover by unscrewing the retaining screw (fig F) and with a
screwdriver gently push down and ease out.
The unit is suitable for connection to a 230 V ac 50Hz electricity supply. It is suggested that
3-core round flexible cable of 1mm2 gauge is used. A isolating 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.

Mark the position of the fitting holes.
Drill the holes. Insert the rawl plugs into the holes.

PIERCE & PASS THE CABLE(S) THROUGH THE GROMMET(S) BEFORE PROCEEDING.

Fix the mounting plate to the wall. Take care not to overtighten the screws to prevent
damage to the mounting plate. If using a power screwdriver, use the lowest torque setting.

CONNECTION

This unit is supplied with a hanging attachment (tether) to aid installation.
If it is not required, simply remove from the unit and discard.

Place the round end of the tether into the keyhole shape location hole on the wall bracket.
Ensure the tether is securely fixed into the slot before releasing the weight of the unit.

The unit can now be suspended below the wall bracket. (Fig D)

Connect the mains supply cable to the terminal block as follows (see connection diagram):

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

Connect the cable from the lighting load to the terminal block on the unit as follows: (see
connection diagram)

NEUTRAL (Blue) N
EARTH (Green/Yellow)
LIVE (White) L1

Ensure the connections are secure.
Place terminal block onto its securing pillar on the wall bracket (Fig E)
Remove and discard the tether.
Fit control to wall bracket and secure by fixing screw (Fig F)
