Walk across

(Typical) 1.1m

0.85m

Mounting height

• For indoor use only i.e.: hallways, dining-room, basement, utility
rooms and garages, etc. To replace existing one or two way light
switches.

• Since the ZV810N is sensitive to temperature changes.
Avoid mounting directly above heat sources or exposed
to direct sunlight.

• Avoid mounting the motion sensor switch where it can come
into contact with water or rain.

• For best results mount the sensor switch to detect objects
moving across it.

Coverage

• The ZV810N can be mounted at heights between 0.85m to 1.5m.

The optimum height for detection is 1.1m, which we recommend
to achieve the 8m range. Please note that that mounting it any
higher will not give the same performance.

5. Installation

Note: The installation of this light switch should be protected

by suitable circuit protection of up to 10A rating.

5.1 Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply
fused are removed or the circuit breaker is turned off, until you
have completed the installation.

5.2 Loosen the retaining screw located on the bottom of the light

switch, and open the hinged front cover that conceals the

battery holder and On-time/Lux adjusters.

5.4 Remove the existing light switch, and transfer the wires to the

ZV810N (See section 6.Connection Diagram).

5.5 Secure the unit to the back box with the fixing screws provided,
forming the cables during installation to avoid any entrapment

and cable damage.

7. DIP Switch and Slide Switch

Note: The DIP Switch located on the back of the light switch can be
used to enable or disable the Manual ON/OFF function, when using
the Slide Switch. By default this will be set ON.

• If the DIP Switch is set to the ON (upwards) position, the Slide

6

Switch can be used to turn your lights ON/OFF manually, or can

be set to AUTO for motion control only.

• If the DIP Switch is set to the opposite (downwards) position,
the Slide Switch will be disabled and your lights will turn
ON using motion only.

8. Walk Test

Note: If the DIP Switch is set to the ON position, also make sure the
Slide Switch is set to the AUTO (middle) position.

• Set the On-time adjuster fully anticlockwise to the min

10s position.

• Set the Lux adjuster fully clockwise to the SUN symbol.

• The light switch will now operate during the day time as well
as at night, illuminating your lights for approx. 10 seconds each
time. This allows testing to be carried out to establish whether
the sensor is covering the required area.

• Walk in front and around the sensor to establish the detection
area. The sensor will detect motion within an 8m diameter
(walking across), and within a 3m range (walking towards)
with the sensor mounted at 1.1m.

• As you cross the detection ‘zone’ your lights will illuminate.
Now stand still until your lights extinguish (this should take
approx. 10 seconds).

• Start moving again after 2 seconds until your lights turn ON.

• Repeat the above, walking at various distances and angles from
the light switch. This will help you confirm the detection pattern.

9. Setting up for Automatic Operation

• Turn the Lux Adjustment fully anti-clockwise to the Moon symbol.

• Turn the On-time Adjustment to the desired setting (10 seconds
Minimum to 15 minutes Maximum).

• When the ambient light level reaches the level of darkness at
which you wish the lamp to become operative once motion is
detected (i.e. at dusk) SLOWLY rotate the control in an clockwise
direction, whilst moving (e.g. your hand) in front of the sensor,
until a point is reached where the lamp illuminates.

• Leave the Lux Adjustment set at this point.

• At this position, the unit should become operative at
approximately the same level of darkness each evening each
time motion is detected.

Adjustments

• If you find that your lights switch on when it is too dark,
turn the Lux Adjustment clockwise towards the Sun symbol.

• If the light is in operation when it is too light, turn the Lux
Adjustment towards the Moon symbol.

10. Low Battery Warning

• When the 9V battery is running low, the Motion Indication
Red LED will pulse 1 second ON, 8 seconds OFF, as warning
to change it (See section 5. Installation, step 5.2 & 5.3 for
how to access the battery compartment).
