CP electronics PDS-PRM Wall Mounted PIR Sensors and Dimmers
Product Information
- Product Name: PDS-PRM
- Product Type: Wall Mounted PIR Presence Detector
- Model Number: No Neutral
- Ref: #WD298 Issue 7
Overview: The PDS-PRM presence detector switches are designed to provide automatic control of lighting, heating, or ventilation loads. They detect movement using a PIR sensor and turn the load on. When an area is no longer occupied, the load will switch off after an adjustable time-out period. An internal light sensor provides additional energy saving in lighting applications. When an area is occupied, lighting is only switched on when the level of natural light is below a preset level.
Ratings:
- Supply Voltage: 220-240 VAC
- Power: 10A
- Time out period: Adjustable from 1 minute to 30 minutes
- Light level: Optional adjustment by thumbwheel from light to dark
- Terminal Capacity: 2.5mm2
- Material Type: Flame retardant ABS
- Temperature: Not specified
- Conformity: EMC-2014/30/EU, LVD-2014/35/EU
Installation and Wiring
- Compatible with all BS4662 dimensions back boxes.
- Remove top and bottom lugs if fitted.
- Do not over tighten.
- IMPORTANT NOTICE! This device should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the latest edition of the IET wiring regulations.
- Use the extender if there is less than 25mm of free space. Remember to put the wires through the extender before connecting.
- The detector should be sited so that the occupants of the room fall inside the detection pattern shown below, at a recommended height of 1.2m to 1.5m for wall sensors. Note that the higher the sensor is installed, the shorter the detection range will be.
- Avoid direct sunlight entering the sensor.
- Do not site within 1m of forced air heating or ventilation.
- Do not site within 1m of any lighting.
- Do not fix to a vibrating surface.
Product Usage Instructions
- Activate the unit by setting DIL switch 1 on.
- Allow about 60 seconds for the unit to settle.
- Set the LUX level thumbwheel fully clockwise and the time setting to minimum (fully anticlockwise).
- Check that the load switches on when movement is detected and turns off again about 1 minute after the area has been vacated.
- To set the final LUX level, wait until the level of natural daylight is just enough that lighting is required. Starting with the LUX thumbwheel fully anticlockwise, very slowly turn the thumbwheel clockwise until the lights come on. Note that when the LUX thumbwheel is fully clockwise, the lights will always come on with occupancy.
- If the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time, deactivate it by setting DIL switch 1 off. This will preserve battery life.
Battery:
- Unit deactivated: Battery life is preserved.
- Unit activated: Battery usage is active.
Fault Finding:
No specific fault finding instructions are provided in the user manual.

Overview
The PDS-PRM presence detector switches are designed to provide automatic control of lighting, heating or ventilation loads. They detect movement using a PIR sensor and turn the load on. When an area is no longer occupied the load will switch off after an adjustable time out period. An internal light sensor provides additional energy saving in lighting applications. When an area is occupied lighting is only switched on when the level of natural light is below a preset level.
Installation and wiring
- Compatible with all BS4662 dimensions back boxes.
- Remove top and bottom lugs if fitted.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
This device should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with
the latest edition of the IET wiring regulations.
Do not overtighten
The detector should be sited so that the occupants of the room fall inside the detection pattern shown below, at a recommended height of 1.2m to 1.5m for wall sensors. Note that the higher the sensor is installed the shorter the detection range will be.
- Avoid direct sunlight entering the sensor.
- Do not site within 1m of forced air heating or ventilation.
- Do not site within 1m of any lighting.
- Do not fix to a vibrating surface.
-
Way switching If the lights are controlled from one location only, wired as in the diagram.
KEY LEGEND:- L1 — LIVE IN

Way switching
If more than one detector is required to switch the lighting (e.g. at the top and bottom of a staircase) they can be wired in parallel, as in the diagram.
Setup
- Activate the unit by setting DIL switch 1 on.
- Allow about 60 seconds for the unit to settle.
- Set the LUX level thumbwheel fully clockwise, and the time setting to minimum (fully anticlockwise).
- Check that the load switches on when movement is detected, and turns off again about 1 minute after the area has been vacated.
- To set the final LUX level wait until the level of natural daylight is just enough that lighting is re-quired. Starting with the LUX thumbwheel fully anti – clockwise. Very slowly turn the thumbwheel clock-wise until the lights come on. Note that when the LUX thumbwheel is fully clockwise then the lights will always come on with occupancy.
- If the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time, deactivate by setting DIL switch 1 off. This will preserve battery life.
Batteries
- The internal battery should last in excess of 3 years, dependent on usage.
- When it needs replacing, a red LED will flash on the front of the unit.
- Follow the steps below to replace the battery.
- Remove front cover
- Lever out battery
- Replace battery
- Push into holder
- Replace front cover
- Use only good quality, 9V alkaline batteries type PP3.
Fault finding
LOAD DOES NOT COME ON
- Check to see if the live supply to the circuit is good. Strap across the L and LIVE OUT terminal to turn the load on.
- If the supply and wiring are good, check the LUX level setting. Increase the LUX level setting to allow the controller to turn on at a higher ambient natural light level.
LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF
- Ensure that the area is left unoccupied for a greater time period than the time-out period set using the switch.
- Make sure that the sensor is not adjacent to circulating air, heaters or lamps.
