General

A passive infra-red Multi Sensor Switch and 180° sensor-detector, providing security
lighting control in either 1 or 2 zones. The wall switch is designed to be sited internally
on new or existing installations and operates in conjunction with low-voltage SL099
sensor detectors, mounted externally. Each zone is fully independent and can control
up to 4 sensor-detectors and up to 1500W of lighting. Simple slide-switch controls
allow automatic passive infra-red security or manual ON/OFF operation in both
individual zones. An audible alarm (optional setting) with LED indication sounds on
detection. Light-on-times are adjustable from 5 seconds to 5 minutes in each zone and
a light level control allows dusk till dawn and daylight operation.

INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT DIY PERSON. IF
IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. PLEASE READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE COMMENCING WORK.

SAFETY The electricity supply must be disconnected whilst carrying out the installation.

Light ON Time Adjuster

Sets the length of time the light(s) remain on after detection by a Wall Sensor
Detector

Turn adjuster arrow anti-clockwise for minimum on time.

Turn adjuster arrow clockwise for a longer time on period.

Timing is adjustable from approx 5 seconds to 5 minutes.

Zone Link

Both zones can be linked via a removable selector link on the back of the
switch.

ZONE LINK OFF - Light on times operate independently of
each other.

ZONE LINK ON - Light on times are governed by the zone set
with the longest light on time period. All Wall Sensor Detectors
in either zone will operate the system with this link

Light Level Adjuster

The adjustable light level control (100 Lux – 5 Lux determines at what part of
the day the system operates when set in AUTO (PIR) operating mode

Turn adjuster arrow fully clockwise for the day and night
operation.

Turn adjuster arrow anti-clockwise for a darker start operation.

NOTE: There is only one light level adjuster controlling both zones. The wall sensor
detector connected to zone 1 within the darkest lit area sets the light level.

Audible Alarm Selector - OFF/

(Independent to each zone)

Internal buzzer alarm permanently OFF

The internal buzzer alarm will sound for approx.
1 second each time movement is detected by a Wall
Sensor Detector. NOTE: This facility operates over a
24hr period and can function independently of the
operating mode selections (OFF/AUTO/ON) above.

To help distinguish in what zone an intrusion has
occurred. ZONE 1 buzzer sounds a Continuous
bleep – bleeeeeep ZONE 2 buzzer sounds a fast
intermittent bleep – bleepbleepbleepbleep

LED Indicator

(Independent to each zone)

OFF – LED does not show

AUTO – Led shows on detection of movement
detected by the Wall Sensor Detector. The indicator
will remain on for the same period as the light on
time selector. (see light on time adjuster.)

ON – LED remains permanently ON.

Wall Mounting

The Multi Sensor Switch is for internal siting only and can be either flush
mounted or surface mounted onto an interior wall.

Surface Mounted

Wiring

INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT DIY
PERSON. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

THE MAINS SUPPLY TO THE UNIT SHOULD BE FUSED AT:
3 AMPS - Light loads up to 500W
13 AMPS - Light loads between 500-1500W

AND ALSO INCORPORATE AN ON/OFF SWITCH
It must be possible to isolate the supply completely for

installation/maintenance purposes. This can be done by an isolating switch or
at the mains supply switch to the premises.

BEFORE WIRING THE MULTI SENSOR SWITCH ENSURE THAT THE
MAINS IS DISCONNECTED AT SOURCE.

Cable Plan

For mains IN and switched mains OUT (to lights) – use PVC insulated twin and
earth cable 1.5mm

2

. For Wall Sensor Detector connection (zone 1 and zone 2) –
use low voltage 2 core cable (bell wire). IMPORTANT: Use the two strips of
sleeving supplied to insulate the low voltage cable run inside the switch.

Flush Mounted

Max 1500W of

lighting each zone

Installing the Wall Sensor Detector

A maximum of 8 detectors – 4 each zone can be installed using low voltage 2
core cable (bell wire).

Siting

The Wall Sensor Detector should be mounted
at a height of 2.5 metres. At this height the
sensor can be adjusted within minimum and
maximum settings. Refer to adjusting
detection range.

Maximum sensitivity is achieved when
movement of people is past the detector rather than movement directly
towards or away from it.

False Alarms

It may also respond to cars, anumals, central heating flues, cold moving objects
against a warmer background (e.g. swaying trees in front of a warm wall).

Fixing Sensor Detector
to the Wall

i. Unscrew and pull off front cover
ii. Mark fixing holes A & B and drill holes
iii. Fix unit to the wall using 2 x No 8 1

1

⁄2"
(40mm) screws and wallplugs (not
supplied)

iv. Replace front cover on completion

of Wiring and walk testing.

Adjusting Detection Range

i. Unscrew and pull off front cover
ii. Loosen field adjustment screw
iii. Using terminal block slide up or down into position Up=Minimum setting

at 2.5 metres 180° Down=Maximum setting at 15 metres 180° (Refer to
detection range).

iv. Once the range is established lock the terminal block into position by

tightening the field adjustment screw.

v. Replace front cover and secure with cover screw.

Wiring

All Wall Sensor Detectors should be wired in parallel back to the Multi Sensor
Switch terminals zone 1 and 2 (refer to Multi Sensor Switch cable plan).
A low voltage 2 core cable (bell wire) should be used. For convenience wiring
may be looped from one detector to the next. Alternatively a junction box may
be used.

5 Year Guarantee

We shall repair or at our option replace this product if it becomes defective
within 5 years of the date of purchase, provided that you return it to us with
proof of purchase. A product becomes defective where it fails due to fault in
the material or workmanship, but not where the failure is caused by an

Points to Remember

• Installation should be carried out by a competent DIY person. If in doubt
consult a qualified electrician.

• The electricity supply must be disconnected whist carrying out the
installation.

• An earth connection must be made for safety.

• The Multi Sensor Switch is for internal siting only. Wall Sensor Detectors
are mounted externally.

• Use the 2 strips of insulating sleeve (supplied) to insulate the 2 core low
voltage cable run inside the Multi Sensor Switch.

• Wall Sensor Detectors should be mounted at a height of 2

.

5 metres. At this
height the detector can be adjusted within minimum and maximum
settings. Refer to adjust detection range setting.

• Set light level/time on controls as shown under section heading.

• In normal use a built-in light sensor prevents daylight operation unless
light adjuster is set to day and night operation.

• False alarms may occur (see siting).

• The Sensor detector is more sensitive to movement across the detector
rather than directly towards or away from it.

• To help distinguish in what zone an intrusion has occurred:
ZONE 1 buzzer sounds a continuous bleep – bleeeeeep ZONE 2 buzzer
sounds a fast Intermittent bleep –bleepbleepbleepbleep

Walk Testing

Before commencing the walk test turn the Light level adjuster on the Multi
Sensor Switch to the day and night setting and both zone 1 and 2 light
on time adjusters to the minimum light on time setting.

Switch on the mains electricity supply to the Multi Sensor Switch and wait 20
seconds for the switch to stablilise.

Starting at a distance greater than 15 meters from the Wall Sensor Detector
walk across the front of the unit gradually
moving closer. Note the position where
detection occurs. The light will remain on for
approximately 3 seconds. Continue this
pattern to establish the full extent of coverage.

Reset the light level and light on time controls
on the controlling switch. Commissioning is
now complete.
