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 switch 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 switch and install in accordance with
the current IEE wiring and Building Regulations.

Check that the total load on the circuit including when this
PIR switch is fitted does not exceed the rating of the circuit cable,
fuse or circuit breaker.

5 Product Description

5.1 Features

The PDSM361 controller is a ceiling surface mount presence detector for
indoor applications in commercial and domestic locations. The PDSM361
covers lighting applications only.

Adjustment of Time and LUX values can be made either by the dial
controls on the sensor body or by the IR10 Infrared remote control.

• The sensor has a very high density of sensitive beams covering the
detection area. These are evenly distributed ensuring no dead spots
and detection of the smallest movements.

• Either side or bottom cable entry.

• Built-in red LED in sensor giving confirmation of remote control
settings and easy test operation.

If the METER control is turned to – the coverage diameter is
substantially reduced.

We do not recommend the use of these units with heights
greater than 4.5m.

6.1.2 Helpful tips for installation
As the sensor responds to temperature change or moving heat sources,

please avoid the following conditions:

• Avoid highly reflective surfaces within the detection range.

• Avoid movable objects e.g. curtains and plants in the detection range.
(these may cause erroneous detections when moved by air flow from
fans or air conditioner).

• Avoid heat sources (e.g. heating vents, radiators, air conditioners
and filament lamps) in detection range.

• Avoid fans drawing air across the sensor lens.

6.2 Wiring diagrams

Lighting is controlled by a PDSM361 (see Fig. 3).

2. To Separate bottom case from lens body force a small flat blade
screwdriver into the hidden gap shown partially exposed in Fig. 5
then push the screwdriver in towards the centre and lever the
bottom case assembly away from the lens body pins.

3. Remove cardboard and screws used to assemble and fix the sensor
(see Fig. 6).

4. There are two methods of cable entry into the unit. One feeds into
the bottom case (Fig. 7-A), another feeds into the side of the bottom
case and outer cover (Fig. 7-B). Select your preferred cable entry and
score round the appropriate knock-out pattern in the outer cover
will need to be scored as well. Push out the chosen knock-outs and
feed the wires through, then connect the wires to the corresponding
terminal blocks.

5. Insert the lens body pins into the bottom case contacts,
fasten it with screws firmly and snap on the outer cover the
outer cover (see Fig. 6).

6. Recheck and wipe slightly with a clean dry cloth if the sensor
surface is dirty.

7. There is a pattern of slots on the bottom case that should enable
the fixing holes of the previous unit to be used. Fasten bottom case
onto the ceiling with wood screws (see Fig. 8).

If you experience problems, do not immediately return the unit

8 Troubleshooting

the troubleshooting guide below.

Problem Possible Suggested

Cause Solution

7.2. TIME control adjustment

These are delay times between the sensor being triggered and the
controller switching off assuming no further detections are made.

If there are additional detections the time delay applies from the
latest detection.

TIME: Adjustable from 5 sec. to 20 min. (lighting). (Extendable to
30 min. and 60 min. when in use with the IR10 remote controller).

2.1 LUX control adjustment

The LUX level below which the sensor will operate is adjustable from 10
LUX (operation only after dusk) to 2000 LUX (operation at any light level).

2.2 METER control adjustment

This control sets the diameter of detection coverage at floor level.
Assuming a ceiling height of 2.5m at the + end of the scale the coverage
diameter will be 7m, at the – end of the scale the coverage diameter will
be 1m.

The effect of METER control at other ceiling heights is shown in section 6.1.

3 Test Mode

3.1 Sensor warm up

The detector will take a minimum of 60 seconds to warm up when
the power is connected to it for the first time or if the power is being
re-connected after being turned off.

During this period load I and the sensor LED will both be on. After the
warm up is finished the sensor will revert to operation according to
the settings of the controls on the sensor body.

3.2 LED Function

There is a red LED (see Fig. 10) built into the sensor and visible through
the PIR lens that shows the status of the loads and enables testing to be
carried out without the loads being connected.

If the IR10 remote controller is in use the LED will flash to give
confirmation of the commands and adjustments made by the IR10.

9 Optional Remote Control – IR10

The unit can also be controlled by the infrared remote controller IR10.
As well as allowing remote setting of times and light level the IR10 also
enables continuous operation for 8 hours in ON or OFF modes as well
as continuously in detection mode controlled by or independent of light
level.

The IR10 is invaluable during commissioning enabling changes to be
made without resorting to ladders.

Further to this the IR10 can download stored settings from one sensor
to additional sensors in the same area.

2. Incorrect wiring.

1. Out of detection range.

2. Power supply not on.

3. ‘TIME’ knob setting

isn’t on ‘Test’.

4. Incorrect wiring.

There are heat sources,
HVAC vents/fans,
highly reflective surfaces
or anything which may
be swayed by air
movement within the
detection coverage.

1. Switch on the power.

2. Check if control dials are
set to the correct position,
then supply the power to
check if the LED will turn on.

3. Refer to wiring diagrams

(Fig. 3 to Fig. 5)

4. Replace the faulty load.

Check that the correct

1.
delay time is set on either
TIME 1 or TIME 2 control
dial. Then determine if
nuisance triggering is
keeping the unit turned on.

2. Make sure supply
and load wires are
connected correctly.

1. Walk within the effective
detection range.

2. Switch the power on.

3. Turn the control position
to ‘Test’.

4. Refer to wiring diagrams
(Fig. 3 to Fig. 5).

Avoid aiming the sensor
toward any heat sources,
such as air conditioners,
electric fans, heaters or any
highly reflective surfaces.
Make sure there are no
swaying objects within the
detection coverage.

3.2 Walk Test
Turn supply on and wait at least 60 seconds for the system to

settle down. Turn Time 1 control to the Test position. This means that
the sensor LED and load I will turn on for 2 seconds after triggering and
then be off for 3 seconds after which the sensor can be re-triggered.
The triggering is independent of light level.

The installer should move around in the detection area to establish that
it is all covered. If necessary the tilt and rotation of the sensor should be
adjusted, after which the area should be walk tested again to confirm
coverage is as required.
