Tip-Walking Direction Matters
The sensor is more sensitive to movement across the sensing pattern, and less
sensitive to movement directly toward to sensor. Please plan the mounting
location wisely!
Installation and Wiring
Select a proper location
- The recommended mounting height to achieve the optimal detection range is 2.4 meters.
- Avoid objects that may be impacted by breeze and wind, typically but not limited to curtains, tall plants etc. in the sensor’s detection range.
- Avoid aiming the sensor toward objects high reflective surfaces like mirrors, monitors etc.
- Do not mount the sensor close to objects which can create rapid temperature changes, e.g. air conditioning vents, heaters, lights etc.
- Avoid mounting the sensor where condensation may form on the Fresnel lens
- Do not mount the sensor on any surfaces/objects that is subject to movement due to wind, vibration or other causes
All drawings shown are for illustration purpose only, actual product may vary
due to product enhancement.
The sensor Fresnel lens is specially designed to give optimum performance. Do
not apply any pressure on it, as this may damage the lens, and adversely
affect the performance of the sensor.
Installation
Surface mounting
- Fix the surface mounting box onto the ceiling
- Wire the sensor as per the wiring diagram
- Clip the sensor body into the surface mounting box
- Twist and fit the front cover
Recessed mounting
- Affix the two spring clips on to the sensor body
- Wire the sensor as per the wiring diagram
- Lift the spring clips straight up
- Push the sensor into the cut-out of the ceiling until the clips press the ceiling and hold the sensor tight
Wiring
The sensor is a 3-wire sensor that requires neutral wire, offering stable
performance.
Please wire as per the wiring diagram.
Operation and Function
LED indicator
- LED indicator is built in under the Fresnel lens, it lights up differently in response to different working status.
- There are three color LED indicators: white, blue, and green.
- LED indicator color is white when product is new or has been reset.
- LED indicator color can be blue or green after product is added to a network, depending on working status.
- The LED indicator can be turned off after the sensor being added to the App.
Key parameters: Brightness threshold and hold-time
The sensor has two key parameters that need to be set according to the
appilication requirements: Brightness threshold and hold-time. They can be
adjusted on the dials under the front cover: the dial with the word ‘LUX’ is
for brightness threshold, and the dial with the word ‘TIME’ is for hold-time.
They can also be adjusted in the App, after the sensor being added into the
App.
Important: Being able to adjust both on the phone and on the physical dials, a
new setup will overwrite the previous setup.
Brightness threshold
- The brightness threshold adjustment makes the sensor activate the load depending on the ambient brightness when there is movement detected in the detection range. The adjustment can be set to allow the sensor to activate the load all day (under full daylight) when movement is detected, or only to activate the load when the ambient brightness is below a certain level upon detection of movement. For example, the user can ensure the load is only activated when movement is detected at night time, while in the day time there is adequate natural daylight, the sensor does not respond to movements in the detection range to activate the load, as it is unlikely to be necessary for typical energy saving considerations.
- Rotate the dial clockwise toward “sun” to increase the brightness threshold, when the adjustment is fully clockwise and the arrow is pointing at the “sun”, the motion sensor will activate the load upon detection of movement all day regardless of ambient brightness. Rotate the dial anti-clockwise toward the “moon“ to decrease the brightness threshold, when the adjustment is fully anti-clockwise and the arrow is pointing at the “moon”, the motion sensor only activates the load upon detection of movement in the dark.
Hold-time
- The hold-time adjustment varies the time duration that the load will remain ON when it’s actived by movement detection. The load will automatically be switched off when the hold-time period elapse if there is no new movements detected prior; should a new movement be detected before the hold-time elapses, the load will remain ON, another duration of hold-time will be added from the time of detection.
- Rotate the dial anti-clockwise toward “+” to increase the hold-time, when the adjustment is fully anti-clockwise, the hold-time setting is 30 minutes. Rotate the dial clockwise toward “-“ to decrease the hold-time setting, when the adjustment is fully clockwise, the hold-time setting is 10 seconds.
Working modes
Three working modes are built in the sensor:
- Motion sensor mode (or namely Auto mode): When the ambient brightness corresponds to brightness threshold setting, the sensor is monitoring infrared source movements in the detection field. The load is turned on when movement is detected, and the load is turned off when there is no more movement detected within hold-time
- Override-On mode (or namely Always-On mode): The load is always kept ON regardless infrared movements in the detection range
- Override-Off mode (or namely Always-Off mode): The load is always kept OFF regardless infrared movements in the detection range
- Before being added to the App, the sensor works in Motion sensor mode by default.
- After being added into the App, the sensor can work in all 3 modes, see below for how to switch modes
| Option 1 | Option 2 | Option 3 |
|---|
How to switch to Override-On mode
| Via the App,
in the sensor control page
| Via a paired PIXIE secondary device, double press the button|
–
How to switch to Override-Off mode
| Via the App,
in the sensor control page
| Via a paired PIXIE secondary device, triple press the button|
–
How to return to Motion sensor mode
|
Via the App,
in the sensor control page
|
Via a paired PIXIE secondary device, single press the button
| Switch off the power to the sensor, wait for 10 seconds, then resupply power to the sensor
Together with schedule function in the App, switching modes in a routine help customize the sensor to users needs. For example, the sensor can be set to switch to Override-On mode at 6:00PM everyday for task purpose, and switch to Motion sensor mode at 11:00PM everyday for security purpose.
Warm-up
When power is supplied to the sensor, the LED indicator of the sensor will flash slowly for 20-30 seconds. During this period, the load is kept at ON status regardless of motion or ambient brightness. This is warm-up process of the sensor, to get ready for the functionalities. When the LED indicator stops flashing, and the load is turned OFF, the warm-up process is finished. After warm-up, the sensor will always enter Motion sensor mode as default setting.

Troubleshooting
The connected load does not operate
- Check if the connected power source and load is correct
- Check if the settings of connected load correspond to ambient light
The sensitivity is poor
- Please check if there is any hindrance in front of the sensor to affect it to receive the infrared signals
- Check if the ambient temperature is too high
- Check if the infrared source is in the desired detection field
- Check if the installation height corresponds to the height required in the instructions
- Check if the infrared source moving direction is crossing the sensing pattern, or toward the sensor
The sensor does not turn off the connected load automatically
- Check if there is continual infrared source moving in the detection field
- Check if the hold-time is set to the maximum
- Check if the sensor is set to work at Override-On mode
- Check the wiring if the load is connected to constant power
