Safety

• Before installation or maintenance, ensure the mains supply to the luminaire is switched off and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.
• It is recommended that a qualified electrician is consulted or used for the installation of this luminaire and install in accordance with the current IEE wiring and Building Regulations.
• Check that the total load on the circuit including when this luminaire is fitted does not exceed the rating of the circuit cable, fuse or circuit breaker.
• To clean use a clean dry cloth only. Do not use liquid cleaners.

Selecting a location

• The PIR has a number of detection zones at various horizontal and vertical angles as shown below.
• A moving human body or object needs to cross one of these zones to activate the sensor. The optimum height for this is between 1.5m – 2m mounting height. Careful positioning of the PIR is required to ensure the best performance from the PIR and the appointed approach path.
• Avoid positioning the PIR near any sources of heat in and around the detection area such as extractor fans, tumble dryers or boiler exhausts etc. This would also include other light sources such as security lights.
• Reflective surfaces (i.e. pools of water, white-painted walls, overhanging branches and other types of foliage) may cause false activation under heightened weather conditions
• During extreme weather conditions, the PIR may exhibit unusual behaviour. Once normal weather resumes, the PIR will carry out normal operations.

Installation

• Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit breaker is turned off.
• An isolating switch should be installed to enable the power to be switched ON and OFF to the luminaire. This allows the unit to be easily switched OFF for maintenance purposes.
• Remove the wall plate from the PIR sensor as shown on the diagram.
• If the PIR is going to be used for horizontal and vertical surface mounting, use the wall plate as a template to mark the position of the fitting holes. Drill the holes. Then, insert the rawl plugs into the holes. For corner mounting please follow the next bullet point
• If the PIR is going to be used on a internal or external corner mounting position use the appropriate knockouts to line up the wall plate to be used as a template to mark the position of the fitting holes. Drill the holes. Then, insert the rawl plugs into the holes
• Pass the supply cable through the cable entry point on the wall plate, ensuring the grommet(s) are used to maintain the IP rating of the PIR sensor.
• Fix the wall plate to the wall. Take care not to over-tighten the screws to prevent damage to the wall plate. If using a power screwdriver, use the lowest torque setting.
• Terminate the cable into the terminal block ensuring the correct polarity is observed and that all bare conductors are sleeved see section 6 ( Connection Diagram).
• After the cables have been terminated reconnect the PIR main body to the wall plate

Walk Test & Automatic Operation

• Restore the power from the mains supply breaker or isolating switch and test for the correct operation.
• Once the PIR’s pan and tilt angles have been set, adjust the time dial (fully clockwise), to test mode. This should bypass the photocell so the walk test can commence at day or night periods.
• The PIR should now switch on the luminaire at anytime where movement is detected. If the PIR fails to switch ON set the lux dial to 1000 lux.
• Once the unit times out to the OFF position walk across the detection area, when the PIR is triggered and the load will turn ON briefly for a set amount of time.
• Once satisfied with the pickup area of the PIR twist the lux dial in the anti-clockwise direction to trigger when dusk is approaching, then set the time delay to your preference. (Best performed in real time conditions). It is worth noting that the sensitivity dial can alter how sensitive the PIR is to movement if this is a requirement

Masking the Sensor Lens

• To restrict the sensor coverage, and prevent detection in unwanted areas, mask the sensor lens using the masks provided in the accessory pack (see diagram below).
• The top section of the lens covers long-range detection, the bottom covers short range. Similarly the left and right lens sections cover the left and right detection areas respectively

Manual Override Operation

• Flick the isolation switch, OFF/ON twice within 2.5 seconds. The PIR will then switch on for up to 6 hours and then revert back to Auto Mode.
• The unit will illuminate continuously until dawn, or until the unit is switched back into auto mode.
• To switch off the manual override early, flick the isolation switch OFF/ON once to return to Auto Mode

Dusk To Dawn Mode

• To enable dusk to dawn mode, twist the arrow head on the time delay dial to point to “D”.
• When in dusk-to-dawn mode the lux level you set will determine when the PIR enters and exits dusk-to-dawn mode.
• The PIR will now switch on each evening once the lux level threshold set has been reached i.e. if the lux is set to the value of 50 and the lux level is below this, the PIR will then switch on. As the sun rises an the lux level increases above the value 50, the PIR will then switch off. This process will then repeat daily.

Pulse Mode

• To enable pulse mode, twist the arrow head on the time delay dial to point to “ ”.
• When the sensor is triggered, the load will now switch on for 1 second and off for 9 seconds as a complete cycle before next detection. This mode is only applicable for use with staircase timer switches.

Learn Mode (Teach)

• To enable learn mode, twist the arrow head on the lux delay dial to point to “ ”.
• The sensor will memorize the ambient light level, within the range 10 lux to 1000 lux as the on/off threshold.

Troubleshooting

missing.     Nearby light sources cause interference. Redirect the PIR or light source if possible.
False activation. (Luminaire switches on for no apparent reason)| __Heat sources as described in section 4. Reflective surfaces are described in section 4.
Moving pedestrians, cars or animals in

the area. Check the detection area.

Luminaire remains switched on| Continuous false activation resetting the delay time when an object is detected.
Luminaire switches on during daylight hours| Shadow casting over the PIR sensor
Clouds create a dark presence.
Ensure the PIR receives adequate

daylight from all angles (not covered).
