Description of Microwave Sensor
- The microwave sensor option offers presence detection to provide automatic control of lighting loads. It is installed inside the luminaire so does not affect external aesthetics or the IP Rating. Manual adjustments on the sensor allow it to be individually tailored to suit your application.
Safety
- This is a mains powered product. It is designed to be installed by a qualified electrician and in accordance with the applicable building and electrical regulations. Before installation or maintenance the electrical supply to the product must be isolated.
Installation Instructions
-
Remove the diffuser & trim from the base by rotating anti- clockwise to unlatch then pull away.
-
Loosen the three gear tray retaining screws, rotate the gear tray anti-clockwise to align the screw heads with the large aperture of the keyhole slots & remove the gear tray away from the base. There is a retaining strap to assist with installation.
-
Prepare the mains supply cable & fixing points on the chosen mounting surface ensuring it is able to retain the weight of the luminaire.
-
Pass the mains supply cable through the hole & grommet provided in the base, position the base to the mounting surface & secure using the screws provided.
-
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the fixing points & cable entry point are appropriately sealed to maintain the IP54 rating. Silicone bathroom sealant or equivalent is recommended.
-
Route the mains supply cable to the terminal block on the gear tray & terminate ensuring correct polarity is observed.
WARNING : THIS LUMINAIRE MUST BE EARTHED.
It is important that supply cables fitted to luminaires with an electronic ballast do not run adjacent to leads connected to the ballast output terminals so as not to affect radio frequency interference suppression. -
Secure the supply cable using the clamp provided in the base.
-
Refit the gear tray & secure by retightening the screws.
-
Refit the diffuser & trim by placing over the base & rotating clockwise until it locks into position.
-
Reconnect power supply & check for correct operation.
Luminaires fitted with electronic ballasts are exempt from insulation resistance tests as this may cause damage to the ballast.
Further Instructions for Emergency version
- In addition to the above instructions, a secondary “un- switched” live supply should be fed to the luminaire, in line with the “switched” mains supply. This “un-switched” supply MUST be taken from the same phase as the “switched” supply & MUST be wired at the switchboard so that upon test, it is isolated at the same time as the “switched” supply.
- Route to the terminal block & terminate, ensuring correct polarity is observed.
- Connect the battery supply to the module by joining the connectors, ensuring correct polarity is observed.
- When power supply is reconnected, check the green LED fitted to the luminaire illuminates. This indicates that the batteries are charging.
- The batteries should be allowed to charge for at least 24 hours before carrying out a full discharge test to check batteries are charging correctly & maintained duration is being achieved.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
- Cleaning should be carried out at regular intervals so as not to impair photometric performance or thermal safety of the luminaire.
- Excessive & prolonged operation in emergency mode (working from battery supply) will result in lamp ends blackening & reduction of life.
- Average battery life is four years, after which time they should be replaced with a suitable equivalent.
- This luminaire MUST be disconnected before the circuit it is installed on is subjected to any high voltage or insulation resistance testing, otherwise irreparable damage will occur to luminaire components.
- When the lamp operates from the battery supply it will be at a reduced light level, so ensure cleanliness of luminaires is maintained so as not to affect performance.
- To maintain full operational status, spare lamps should be held for immediate changing in case of failure.
TESTING FOR EMERGENCY LUMINAIRES
- Recommended routine test procedures in line with BS 5266 & BS EN 50172:
Monthly Functional Test
- Simulate a mains supply failure by isolating the circuit (ensuring if it is safe to do so) or by way of a test key switch if fitted into the circuit.
- Do this for a period of time sufficient to check that the maintained lamp illuminates.
- Once complete, ensure the normal supply is restored & that the LED charge indicator illuminates.
- Log result / comments in the Testing Log Book (see next page).
Annual Discharge Test
- Simulate a mains supply failure by isolating the circuit (ensuring if it is safe to do so) or by way of a test key switch if fitted into the circuit.
- This should be for the full testing duration period for the luminaire (the reference M3 = Maintained for 3 hours & M1 = Maintained for 1 hour).
- Check that the maintained lamp illuminates & remains illuminated for the full testing duration period.
- Once complete, ensure the normal supply is restored & that the LED charge indicator illuminates.
- Log result / comments on the Testing Log Book (see next page).
Note : BS5266 allows a 1 hour test to be performed as an alternative every 6 months for the first 3 years of the system, but the guidance document to the Fire Precaution Regulations calls for the annual test at all stages of equipment life.
TESTING LOG BOOK
Positioning
-
The luminaire with detector should be sited so that the occupants of the room fall inside the detection patterns shown in the appropriate diagram below.
-
The diagram is based on a ceiling mounting height of two and a half metres. Note that the lower the sensor is installed, the smaller the detection range will be.
-
If wall mounted, the detection zone will vary depending on the surroundings but perpendicular reach will be at least ten metres.
-
The area closest to the sensor & also the area more perpendicular to the sensor will have higher sensitivity.
-
The distance quoted are approximate & may vary depending on surroundings.
-
Avoid direct sunlight entering the sensor.
-
Do not site within one metre of forced air heating or ventilation.
-
Do not fix to a vibrating surface.
-
Avoid metallic objects directly in front of the sensor head.
-
These sensor kits are capable of switching/ controlling more than one luminaire in a ‘master & slave’ set up. This is done by linking non-sensored fittings (slaves) to the one with the sensor fitted (master) using the live output from the sensor.
NOTE! DO NOT link other fittings containing MW sensors together in this way, as it can cause false triggering of the sensors.
Settings
- The following adjustments can be made using the three dials located on the sensor unit. DISTANCE, TIME and LUX are adjustable via three rotatable dials.
-
DISTANCE
Rotate the dial to control the diameter of the detection pattern, from one metre minimum (fully anti-clockwise) to ten metres maximum (fully clockwise). The LED setting indicator will flash to indicate the setting selected, e.g. ten flashes = ten metres diameter. -
TIME
Rotate the dial to control the length of time the luminaire will stay on after occupancy has ceased. From ten seconds minimum (fully anti-clockwise) to 30 minutes maximum (fully clockwise).
The LED setting indicator will flash to indicate the setting selected as follows:
3. LUX
Rotate the dial to control the ambient light level at which the sensor will
allow the lamps to switch on. This range from two lux minimum (fully anti-
clockwise) to only switch on when very dark, through to 2000 lux maximum
(fully clockwise) to always switch on regardless of ambient light. Note that
the fully clockwise setting should be used to check functionality on initial
installation.

Fault Finding
If you are experiencing a problem please check through the following before making contact with our Customer Services Department:
Fault – Load does not come on
• Check to see if the live supply to the circuit is working.
• If the supply & wiring are good, check the LUX setting. Increase the LUX
level setting to allow the sensor to turn on at a higher ambient light level
(rotate dial clockwise).
Fault – Load does not go off
• Ensure that the area is left unoccupied for longer than the selected timer
setting.
• Make sure that the sensor is not adjacent to circulating air, heaters or
lamps.
• If the unit “false triggers” reduce the DISTANCE level to narrow the area of
detection (rotate dial anti clockwise).
• Ensure luminaire is not connected in parallel with other luminaires containing MW sensors.
MAINTENANCE
- Cleaning should be carried out at regular intervals so as not to impair photometric performance or thermal safety of the luminaire.
