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 employed
for the installation of this PIR sensor and that it is installed in accordance
with the current IEE wiring and Building Regulations.

4. Selecting a Location

• Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum
performance.

• The best all-around coverage is achieved with the unit mounted
at the optimum height of 2.5 metres.

• The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its field of vision than to
movement directly TOWARDS it. Therefore position the unit so that the sensor
looks ACROSS the likely approach path.

• Reflective surfaces (i.e. white-painted walls) may cause false activation
under extreme conditions.

• 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.

• Install the sensor at least 3' away from fluorescent and HVAC ducts,
and at least 4' away from incandescent fixtures and HVAC diffusers.

5. Installation

5.1 Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses

are removed or the circuit breaker is turned off.

5.2 Make sure the power wiring comes from an external miniature circuit breaker

for short circuit operation.

5.3 Remove the top cover of the sensor by twisting the top cover anti-clockwise,

and then lift off the sensor.

5.4 Remove the back plate from the back of the sensor using the pull tab

labelled ‘open’.

5.5 Mark the position of the mounting holes using the back plate as a template.

Drill 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.

5.6 Pass the 230V 50Hz mains

supply and load cable through
the cable entry point on the
foam gasket and then the back
plate, ensuring the grommet is
used to maintain the IP rating
of the PIR sensor.

5.7 Secure the foam gasket and back

plate to the ceiling, using the
correct mounting screws for the
rawl plugs installed.

5.8 Terminate the cable into the

terminal block ensuring correct
polarity is observed and that all
bare conductors are sleeved (see
section 6. Connection Diagram).

5.9 It is recommended that the

sensor body is fitted to the
back plate and fixed to
the ceiling as follows;

7. Adjustments

• The adjustments can be found beneath the top cover of the sensor. Check that
the sensor is set to factory defaults, with the adjustments set as follows;

TIME ON setting: 10 seconds
CONSTANT LUX setting: 1000 Lux
STDBY TIME: OFF
DALI Group: F

• LUX: Used to set the threshold light level to activate the sensor when
it changes from day to night.

• CONSTANT LUX: At the selected threshold light level the sensor will be
activated. The sensor will automatically regulate the load to keep the light level
at the selected threshold until it moves from day and over the threshold.

• TIME: Used to select the desired time ON delay for when the sensor
is activated.

• STDBY (Standby) TIME: Used to select the time delay for standby
(fixed at 20% of the brightness of the load).

• DALI Group: Used to select the channel 0 to E for grouping 0-14 of the
connected load, or Channel F to broadcast to all of the connected loads.

• Push Button Function (S Terminal): An external push button can be
installed for manual light control (see section 6. Connection Diagram).
Press the button once to turn the load ON, the time ON delay will be adjusting
to the TIME adjustment. Press the button once again to turn the load OFF, the
time OFF delay will also activate according to the TIME adjustment. Hold the
button down to dim (up or down) the load, and release the button and the
current brightness value will be retained. Hold the button down a second time
to dim the load the reverse way.

8. Initial Set-up and Operation

• Switch the power to the detector on, the sensor LED indicator and load
will turn ON for a warm-up period of approximately 60 seconds.

• Once the warm-up period is complete, walk in front of the
detector until the load turns ON. This checks the operation of the
detector and field of view.

• When in Test Mode (when using the Timeguard IRRDALI remote control), the
sensor LED indicator and load will turn ON for 3 seconds when each movement
is detected. Without the IRRDALI remote control, the sensor LED indicator will
turn on the load for the duration as set on the TIME setting
(minimum is 10 seconds).

• Walk around the sensor to establish the detection area.

• Turn the TIME and LUX control settings to the desired positions.

• The detector is now in Auto Mode and will operate according to the pre-set
TIME and LUX light level adjustments. Once activated, the sensor
LED indicator and load will remain ON until it times out.

9. Lens Mask

• The supplied lens mask can be used to reduce the sensor coverage, preventing
detection in unwanted areas.

• Cut the lens mask either horizontally or vertically until the desired area of
detection is obtained.

• For your information, the centre section of the lens mask covers short range
detection, and the outer edge of the lens mask covers long range.

• Push the lens mask into the slot around the sensor head. The position can be
adjusted by sliding it around the slot as follows;

10. Troubleshooting

Problem

The sensor will not
function at all/Load
will not come ON

Solution

Check the wiring to make sure that you have the correct
AC power and DALI power at the sensor.

Check the wiring from the sensor to the source of power
to make sure you have wired the sensor correctly.

Check the LUX adjustment to see if it is set at your
desired level.

Detector clicks but
does not work

Check the load is operational.

Load goes ON
and OFF too quickly

Ensure light and heat are not being deflected onto the
detector. Check for white or reflective surfaces that may
be causing the problem.

Note the detector is more sensitive in cold weather.

Make sure the sensor isn’t installed close to an
air conditioner.

Load stays ON Check the wiring to ensure the load isn’t wired directly

to the supply.

Adjust the time to minimum, and ensure the sensor is
firmly fixed to a fixed solid object with no moving objects
in the field of view.

Ensure the detector is not being activated by stray
moving heat sources such as heating outlets.
