Installation & Operating Instructions
1. General Information
These instructions should be read carefully and retained for further reference
and maintenance.
2. Safety
• Before installation or maintenance, ensure the mains supply to the PIR sensor
is switched off and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit breaker
turned off.
• It is recommended that a qualified electrician is consulted or used for
the installation of this PIR sensor and install in accordance with the
current IEE wiring and Building Regulations.
• Check that the total load on the circuit including when this PIR sensor
is fitted does not exceed the rating of the circuit cable, fuse or circuit breaker.
3. Technical Specifications
• 230V AC 50 Hz
• This PIR is of Class ll Construction and must not be earthed

• The motion detector has number of detection zones, at various vertical
and horizontal angles as shown (see diagram “A”).
• The best all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted
at the optimum height of 2.5 metres.
• Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum
performance (see diagram “A” & “B” 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 (i.e. pools of water or white painted walls) may cause
false activation under extreme conditions.

• An isolating switch should be installed to enable the power to be switched
ON & OFF for maintenance purposes and to activate the manual/auto
override function.
• Remove the wall plate by unscrewing the retaining screw (See diagram “F”)
and with a screwdriver gently push down and ease out the wall plate.
• Mark the position of the fitting holes using the wall plate as a template.
Drill out the mounting holes taking care to avoid any joists, electrical cables
or water/gas pipes that may be hidden beneath the surface. Insert the
rawl plugs into the holes.
