Installation

Ceiling/Wall Mount Without Switch Box

  1. Install a retaining spring on both sides of the detector as per the illustrated steps.
  2. Insert the detector into the hole ensuring the retaining springs go in first.
  3. For ceiling mounts, ensure a downward slope of wires to prevent water ingress.

Ceiling/Wall Mount With 86-Type Box

  1. Prepare an 86-type box on the ceiling or wall and install the mounting bezel.
  2. Align and install the detector into the 86-type box, securing it with screws and caps.
  3. Arrange wires with a downward slope to prevent water ingress.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Q: What should I do if the detector is not detecting motion?
    A: Check the jumper pin settings for PIR sensitivity (JP2) and adjust them accordingly. Also, ensure that the detector is mounted within the recommended height range for optimal performance.

  • Q: Can I install this detector outdoors?
    A: No, outdoor installation is not recommended as it may lead to partial or complete obscuration of the detection area due to environmental factors.
