4. Selecting a Location
• The motion detector has a 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 3 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 IT (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 (fans, radiators, heaters etc.) including opposite any other light sources.
• Reflective surfaces (i.e. white painted walls, windows) may cause false activation.

• Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.
• 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 top cover of the sensor by twisting the top cover anticlockwise. The top cover can now be removed from the sensor body.

• Mark the position of the mounting holes on the ceiling using the sensor body (or ceiling mounting plate using the slots – if the mounting plate is required) 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.
• Cut out the knock out hole if necessary.
• Pass the 230V 50Hz mains supply and load cable through the cable entry point on the ceiling mounting plate (the 20mm centre blind hole needs to be drilled) and then the foam gasket, ensuring that the IP rating of the sensor is maintained.
• Terminate the 230V 50Hz mains supply and load cables into the terminal block, ensuring correct polarity is observed, and that all bare conductors are sleeved (see section 6. Connection Diagram).
• When wiring is complete, it is recommended that the ceiling mounting plate is fitted to the sensor body and fixed to the ceiling as follows;
1. Ceiling mounting plate
2. Foam gasket
3. Sensor body
• Insert fixing screws through the sensor body into the wall plugs and secure. Do not overtighten, if using a power screwdriver please ensure it is set to a low torque setting so as not to damage the unit. Ensure the sensor is set up as per section 7. Setting Up, before refitting the top cover.

7. Setting Up
Walk Test (Test Mode)
• The adjustment knobs located beneath the sensor head are factory set to “Test Mode”. Double check they are set as follows; Time Setting – fully anticlockwise Lux-Dusk/Dawn Setting – fully clockwise

• Turn the power to the unit ON. The lamp will immediately illuminate as the unit goes through its “warm-up” period. After approximately 45 seconds the lamp will extinguish. This indicates the unit is wired correctly and the unit is in Test Mode.
• Try to remain outside the detection area during the warm-up period.
• The unit will now operate during daytime as well as at night, illuminating the lamp for approx. 3 seconds each time. This allows testing to be carried out to establish whether the sensor is covering the required area.
• Walk around the sensor to establish the detection area. The sensor will detect within an approximate 8 metre diameter circle from the centre of the sensor location with a 3m ceiling. As you cross a detection “zone” the lamp will illuminate.
• Now stand still until the lamp extinguishes (this should take approx. 3 seconds). Start moving again after 2 seconds. As you cross each “zone” the lamp will illuminate.
• Repeat the above, walking at various distances and angles to the unit. This will help you confirm the detection pattern.

8. Setting Up for Automatic Operation
(Auto Mode)
• When the walk tests are complete, the unit can be adjusted for automatic operation.
• The Time Setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated following activation and after all motion ceases.
• The minimum time (fully anticlockwise) is approx. 3 seconds, whilst the maximum time (fully clockwise) is approx. 18 minutes. Set the control to the desired setting between these limits.
• The Lux-Dusk/Dawn Setting determines the level of darkness required for the unit to start operating. The setting is best achieved through the procedure below;
1. Turn the Lux-Dusk/Dawn Setting control knob fully anticlockwise.
2. When the ambient light level reaches the level of darkness at which you wish the lamp to become operational (i.e. at dusk) SLOWLY rotate the control in a clockwise direction until a point is reached where the lamp illuminates.

3. Leave the control set at this point.
• In this position the unit should become operative at approximately the same level of darkness each evening
• Observe the operation of the unit. If the unit is starting to operate too early (i.e. when it is quite light) adjust the control slightly anticlockwise. If the unit starts to operate too late (i.e. when it is very dark) adjust the control slightly clockwise.
• Continue to adjust until the unit operates as desired.
9. Manual Override Mode
The light can be switched ON for longer time periods through use of the Manual Override Mode. This can be activated at night by using the isolation switch.
• Switch the isolation switch once (OFF/ON) within 1.5 seconds.
• The unit will now illuminate continuously for 6 hours or until it is switched back to Auto Mode.
• To return to Auto Mode switch the isolation switch OFF and then back ON again within 1.5 seconds.

10. Troubleshooting
Problem
• The Lamp stays ON
all the time at night.
Solution
Cover the PIR lens with a thick cloth. If the light turns OFF, check the detection area for heat or a reflective source. If the light stays ON, check the wiring (See section 5. Installation and Connection).

• The PIR keeps
activating for no reason at random.
• PIR sensor will not
operate at all.
• PIR sensor will not
operate at night.
• PIR activates during
the daytime.
Turn OFF at the isolation switch. Turn back ON
again after 30 seconds. Leave for approximately 15 minutes. If the light activates, check for false activation from heat, wind or a reflective source.
Check that the power is switched ON at the
isolation switch. Turn OFF the power to the unit and check the wiring connections. Check the
lamp (if it’s changeable). If the lamp has failed,
replace. Ensure the lamp is seated correctly in
the lamp-holder. Note: the unit will not detect
through glass (e.g. in a glazed porch).
The level of ambient light in the area may be too
bright to allow operation at the current DUSK
setting. During the hours of darkness, adjust the
DUSK control slowly clockwise until the lamp
illuminates.
Adjust the DUSK control setting anticlockwise
to lower the level of ambient light required
for activation.

• PIR coverage is poor/sporadic
The PIR may be poorly located. See section 4.
Selecting a location and relocate the unit.
• The detection range varies from day to day.
The PIR detectors are influenced by climatic conditions. The colder the ambient temperature,
the more effective the sensor will be. You may
need to make seasonal adjustments to the
detector head position to ensure trouble-free operation all year round.
