DESCRIPTION

The MPC-50H 360 ° occupancy sensor uses advanced PIR technology to turn on the lights when motion is detected and keep the lights on when movement is present. The sensor will automatically turn off the lights if no movement is detected within the amount of time selected in the time delay.  The MPC-50H is specially designed for use in areas with high ceilings such as warehouses, distribution centers, and gymnasiums. Be sure to attach the appropriate lens based on the ceiling height. There are two lens choices available, lens 1 and lens 2. Lens 1 is an extended range lens that provides up to 2800 sq. ft. of coverage at a maximum installation height of 50 ft. Lens 2 is a high-density lens that provides up to 1200 sq. ft. of coverage at a recommended installation height of 8-10 ft.

COVERAGE

Lens choices:
The coverage area is determined by the type of lens attached to the MPC-50H. (See Figure 1).

WARNING
Turn the POWER OFF at the circuit breaker before installing the sensor.

Read and understand these instructions before installing. This device is intended for installation by the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform this installation. Make sure to turn off the circuit breaker or fuse(s) and make sure the power is off before wiring the device. Use copper wire only, or equivalent.

WIRING DIRECTIONS
Refer to the wiring diagram of the sensor (See Figure 2)

1. Connect the hot wire to the black wire on the sensor
2. Connect the neutral wire to the white wire on the sensor
3. Connect the load wire to the red wire on the sensor
4. If using provided Housing, attach by aligning the arrow on the MPC-50H with the Open arrow on the Housing, then twist the device counterclockwise until the Close arrows align.
5. Turn on the Circuit Breaker

LIGHT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

The sensor may be adjusted to operate at the desired level of light under normal lighting conditions in the immediate area. To do so, turn the dial to point the arrow toward the “-” sign for the sensor to detect motion and operate during low light or no light. Point the arrow toward the “+” sign for the sensor to operate when there’s more light in the area or even during daylight.

NOTE : The light level is adjustable only when the time dalavie eats at or above 5 Minutes

SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

Note : The LED indicator flashes during the 60-second warm-up period when power is first applied

• If the sensor detects occupancy during the warm-up, the time delay will increase.
• If no occupancy is detected during the warm-up, the light turns OFF after the initial 60-second warm-up period.

INSTALLATION

The MPC-50H can be directly attached to the fixture or ceiling (See Figure 3 below), or attached to the fixture or junction box with the provided housing (See Figure 4 below)

Mounting the Housing

• The Housing comes ready to install on the side of a fixture or junction box.
• To mount the Housing on the surface of the fixture or ceiling, twist off the lock nut on the connector and remove the connector. Then install it on the back of the Housing and cover the side knockout with the knockout cover.

TESTING OCCUPANCY SENSOR

Note: There is a 40-second warm-up period when power is first applied. Use a small screwdriver to open the front cover and make changes to the settings. The pre-set time delay is Test mode and the light level is set at maximum Refer to Figure 3 on the previous page.

1. Ensure the PIR Activity is enabled, green LED flashes and PIR Sensitivity is set to 100% (DIP switch 1 ON).
2. Ensure the Time Delay is set for Test Mode.
3. Ensure that the Light Level is at the maximum position. (see” LIGHT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT”).
4. Remain still. The green LED should not flash. The lights should turn off after 15 seconds. (If not, see “TROUBLESHOOTING.”)
5. Move in the front of the coverage area. The lights should turn on automatically. When the functional test is complete, set DIP Switches, Time Delay, and Light Level to the desired settings, and put the front cover back on the sensor.

DIP SWITCH SETTING
The MPC-50H has 4 DIP switches under the lens cover. They are used to set the sensitivity and time delay. This device is factory preset for quick installation and is ready to test once installed. After testing, adjust the DIP switches and Light dial to the desired levels.

Sensitivity setting: DIP switch 1
50% -This setting will decrease the amount of area the sensor will cover to half the range of the installed lens. 100% – This setting will allow the sensor to utilize the maximum range the installed lens can cover. The maximum range of MPC-50H-L1 coverage is 2800 square feet. The maximum range of MPC- 50H-L2 coverage is 1200 sq. ft.

Time delay: DIP switch 2,3,4
The time delay is set with Dip switches 2, ,3 and 4, from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. When there is no movement detected by the sensor, the lights will automatically turn off after the selected time delay has expired.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Warning : Turn the POWER OFF at the circuit breaker before installing.

LED does not blink:

1. Make sure the sensor has power.
2. Check the location of the sensor and verify that the sensor can detect motion from the human body. If not, the LED will not blink.
3. Check the wire connections and verify that the wires are secured with wire caps.

LED blinks but lights do not turn ON:

1. Check the “Light” setting. If the arrow is pointed to the ” position, the area needs to be dark enough for the sensor to operate. Cover the light sensor lens to simulate darkness. If the light turns ON, the light level setting needs to be adjusted.
2. Make sure the wires are connected and the bulbs are working.
3. Check for obstructions in the lens cover.
4. Make sure that power to the sensor has been ON continuously for at least one minute. Wait for the warm-up period to end, and if the LED flashes, the load has not turned on, then go to the next step.

Lights do not turn OFF automatically:

1. If there is no motion from people or equipment in the sensor’s view but the LED blinks, look for any nearby source of infrared energy (heat) in motion, such as turbulent air from a heating or cooling supply.
   • Mount the sensor so that its lens is below the edge of the fixture and does not directly view the lamps.
   • Move the air supply away from the sensor, or move the sensor.
2. Verify the time delay settings in switches 2-4. The time delay can be set from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. Ensure that the time delay is set to the desired delay and that there is no movement within the sensor’s view for that period.
3. Check sensor wire connections, and verify load and neutral wires are secure.
