About this document
Please read carefully and keep in a safe place.

General Safety Notification

Disconnect the power supply before attempting any work on the unit.

During installation, the electric power cable to be connected must not be live. Therefore, switch off the power ﬁrst and use a voltage tester to make sure the wiring is off-circuit.
Installing the sensor involves work on the mains power supply.
This work must therefore be carried out professionally in accordance with national wiring regulations and electrical operating conditions.
Only use genuine replacement parts.
Repairs may only be made by specialist workshops.

iHF 3D

Proper use
The iHF 3D sensor is an active motion detector for wall mounting outdoors.

The iHF 3D sensor emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves (5.8 GHz) and receives their echo. Any movement by persons in the detection zone is noticed by the sensor as a change in echo and triggers a switching signal. Analysing the signal, the iHF 3D sensor distinguishes between moving persons and moving objects, such as bushes or small animals (animals up to the size of a cat). The 3D antenna system permits precision adjustment in any way in three directions. This rules out any inadvertent triggering by small animals as well as interference from extreme temperatures.

Note: The high-frequency output of the iHF-sensor is approx.1 mW – that’s 1000 times less than the transmission power of a mobile phone or the output of a microwave oven.

steinel iHF 3D Motion Detector 5

The mains supply lead is a 3-core cable (max. lead diameter 19 mm):

L = phase conductor (usually black, brown or grey)
N = neutral conductor (usually blue)
L’ = live conductor (usually black or brown)

If you are in any doubt, identify the conductors using a voltage tester; then disconnect from the power supply again. Connect phase (L) and neutral conductor (N) to the terminal block.

Please note that the electric circuit must be protected by a 16A circuit breaker.

Important: Incorrectly wired connections will produce a short circuit later on in the product or your fuse box. In this case, you must identify the individual conductors once again and re-connect them. A mains power switch for turning the unit ON and OFF may of course be installed in the mains supply lead.

Mounting

Check all components for damage.
Do not use the product if it is damaged.

Mounting procedure

Operation

Operation/function legend (Fig. 6.1)
Note: After connecting to the mains power supply, the white Status-LED ﬂashes for 10 s. The sensor is then ready for operation.

Factory settings
Time setting: Install (pos. 8)
Reach setting: 3x MAX
Light-level setting 1000 lux (pos. 7)

Functions

Time setting
The time you wish the connected load to stay ON for can be adjusted to any of six settings: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes to 30 minutes.

Pulse mode
If you set the control dial to (pos. 1), the unit is in pulse mode, i.e. the output is switched ON for approx. 2 sec. (e.g. for staircase lighting timer). Afterwards, the sensor does not react to movement for approx. 8 s.

Install mode
Install mode has the purpose of checking for proper working order as well for testing the detection zone. Irrespective of light level, the light connected switches ON for 10 seconds (status LED ﬂashes; see “LED Status” table in Section 7). Install mode has priority over all other settings.
Change control dial setting to quit Install mode.

Reach setting (Fig. 6.2 / E 1-3)
Reach can be inﬁnitely adjusted in three direc-tions via three control dials from 1-5 m (max. approx. 7 m) independently of each other. The maximum detection reach is selected via the control dials.

Detection diagram (Fig. 6.3)
Note: if the distance to a wall or similar structure is less than 7 m in any of these directions, the reach in that direction must still be set to maximum reach or detection errors may be made. The reach settings should only be used to mask out areas in which you do not want movement to result in light being switched ON. Performance of the iHF 3D may also be impaired by installing it in corners or on metal building exteriors.

Light-level setting (Response threshold)
The sensor’s chosen response threshold can be inﬁnitely varied from approximately 2 to 1000 lux.

Teach mode
Teach mode saves the current ambient light level below which you do not want the sensor to respond to movement from now on.

SMART REMOTE Bluetooth function

STEINEL Smart Remote app
To conﬁgure the light via smartphone or tablet, you must download the STEINEL Smart Remote app from your app store. You will need a Bluetooth-capable smartphone or tablet.
