Description

The Magnum Innovations Motion and Lux sensor (Mx-ML2) is a wireless, self- powered, passive infrared sensor that ensures reliable detection of occupant presence. The Mx-ML2 is ideally suited for occupancy-based lighting control and also provides for indoor daylight harvesting functionality, with a light range of 0-1020lx. When paired with a relay (Mx-USR-L1) and a wireless rocker switch (Mx-ESRP), the sensor creates an out-of-the-box, cost-effective, lighting control system. When combined with a Magnum gateway (Mx-EBOX), the Mx-ML2 can be integrated into an existing BACnet-compatible building automation system.

Operation

Built-in solar cells draw and store energy from available ambient light to power the device and keep it operational during periods of darkness. The device must be placed at the location where sensing is required and this location is dependent on individual application (refer to Sensor Placement Tips below). An optional battery backup is available for locations with low or no ambient light. The Mx-ML2 must be paired with a receiver (refer to the Compatible Devices section). The device can be paired manually to compatible devices by pressing the LRN button while following the pairing instructions for the receiver. For more sophisticated configuration, please refer to the MES AirConfig tool (email support@magnumfirst.com for download instructions) .The sensor can be mounted using screws or simply placed in a selected location with double-stick tape. It is recommended that the pairing of this device be done prior to installing the ceiling sensor.

Mounting

Ceiling Mount (With Screws):

Mount the backplate to the ceiling with the four provided screws (see Image 1)
Attach the body of the sensor to the backplate by rotating until locked into place (see Images 2-4)

Ceiling Mount (With Tape:

Peel the layer off double stick tape and place one side onto the back of the sensor housing.
When ready to place, peel another layer off the tape and firmly push the motion sensor onto the surface, and hold for 30-60 seconds.

Coverage

Sensor Placement

Sensor Placement Tips:

Do not mount the sensor near obstacles that could potentially block the sensor’s line of sight.
Keep sensors 10-15ft away from heating vents and radiators. If a sensor detects a rapid change in heat, it could inaccurately detect occupancy.
If mounting on a wall or in a corner (anywhere other than the ceiling) aim the sensor towards the likely entry point.
If the sensor is to be used to control lights based on occupancy and perform daylighting controls, and there is a question related to appropriate placement, please refer to the guidance herein or call tech support at 330.656.9365.

NOTE:
Remember this device is charged and operates using the light in the room, if there are several mounting location choices, choose the brightest option.

Troubleshooting

Verify the LED flashes when the LRN button is pressed and released
If the LED light does not blink, check to see if the device is equipped with a backup battery
If the device has no backup battery, place the sensor under light, allowing it to charge
If the LED still does not flash after the LRN button is pressed and released, the sensor could be defective.
If the device includes a backup battery, then the battery might need to be replaced.
