PIR INTRODUCTION:
The bulkhead light incorporates a PIR (passive Infra red) sensing device which continuously scans a preset operating zone and immediately switches the light on when it detects movement in that area. This means that whenever movement is detected within the range of the sensor the light will switch on automatically to illuminate the area you have selected to light. While there is movement within range of the unit the light will remain on.

-
The lamp must be positioned so that there is at least 0.5m (500mm) between the bulb and any illuminated surface.
-
When making connections ensure that the terminals are tightened securely and that no strands of wire protrude. Check that the terminals are tightened onto the bared conductors and not onto any insulation.
-
This product is not intended to be used by children and persons with sensory, physical and/or mental impairments that would prevent them from using it safely.
-
You are advised at every stage of your installation to double-check any electrical connections you have made. After you have completed your installation there are electrical tests that should be carried out, these tests are specified in the current IEE wiring and building regulations.
WHERE TO FIT YOUR PIR BULKHEAD:
- To achieve the best results we suggest you take the following points into consideration:
- Do not mount on a surface that has a vibration.
- Ideally, the PIR bulkhead light should be mounted 1.8 to 2.5 meters (6 to 8ft) above the area to be scanned (refer to Fig. 1 below).|
- To avoid damage to the unit do not aim the sensor towards the sun.
- Avoid positioning the sensor unit adjacent to a bright light source which may prevent the unit from operating when the lux control is set to operate in dark conditions.
- Avoid nuisance false triggering by directing the sensor away from:
- Trees and shrubs
- Reflective surfaces such as smooth white walls Swimming pools
- Heat sources such as boiler flues
- The PIR sensor scanning specifications (approximately 8-10 meters at 120°) may vary slightly depending on the mounting height and location.
- The detection range of the unit may also alter with temperature change. Before selecting a place to install your PIR bulkhead you should note that movement across the scan area is more effective than movement directly towards or away from the sensor. (refer to Fig. 2 below).
- If movement is made walking directly towards or away from the sensor and not across, the apparent detection range will be substantially reduced (refer to Fig. 3 below).
PIR SPECIFICATIONS
- Detection area: 120° Detection range:
- Max. 8-10m
- Time adjustable: 10 seconds to 5 minutes
- LUX adjustable: 20 to 2000lux
LAMP REPLACEMENT
This luminaire has an LED array and is maintenance-free. No replacement is required.
INSTALLATION
- Switch off the mains’ power before commencing installation.
- Remove the trim and diffuser using a screwdriver.
- Position the fitting on the surface where it’s to be installed and mark the mounting hole positions. Drill and plug the wall at the marked positions and pass cable wire through the rubber grommet. Screw and fix body to the wall with suitable mounting screws (not supplied).
- Connect the main power wires to the terminal block (see the relative symbols below):
- Set PIR controls to desired Lux and Time settings (See next page on understanding the PIR controls).
- Refit the diffuser and trim.
- Restore power.
UNDERSTANDING THE PIR CONTROLS
(Referring to Fig. 5 below)
ADJUSTING THE DURATION TIME:
The length of time that the light remains switched on after activation can be
adjusted from (10±5) seconds to (5±1) minutes. Rotating the TIME control from
(+) to (-) (clockwise) will reduce the time duration.
Note: Once the light has been triggered by the PIR sensor any subsequent
detection will start the timed period again from the beginning.
ADJUSTING THE LUX CONTROL LEVEL:
The lux control module has a built-in sensing device (photocell) that detects
daylight and darkness. The (R) position denotes that the bulkhead light can
work at day and night, and the () position will only work at night. You can
set to operate the light at the desired level by adjusting the LUX dial.
SETTING THE CONTROLS
- Turn the LUX control to light (R) position, at this stage ensure that the time control is set at the minimum duration time (-) position. The bulkhead light will now switch on and remain on for about 10±5 seconds.
- When the fitting is mounted, the sensor will detect in the area infront of the fitting. Have another person move across the center of the area to be scanned and slowly adjust the PIR sensor until the unit senses the presence of the moving person, causing the lamp to switch on.
- Adjust time control to the required setting.
- To set the lux level at which the lamp will automatically switch “on” at night, turn the LUX control from daylight to night
- If the lamp is required to switch on earlier, e. g. dusk, wait for the desired environment light level, then slowly turn the LUX control towards daylight (R) while someone walks across the center of the area to be detected. When the lamp switches on, release the lux control. You may need to make further adjustments to achieve your ideal light level setting.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND USER HINTS
Note: all passive infrared detectors are more sensitive in cold and dry weather than warm and wet weather.
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SUGGESTED REMEDY |
|---|
Light does not switch on when there is movement in the detection area.
| 1. No mains voltage| Check all connections, and MCB Fuses / switches
2. Nearby lighting is too bright| Relocate the unit
3. Controls set incorrectly| Readjust control knob
4. Wired incorrectly| Check wiring and confirm its wired as per the wiring
diagram
Light switches on for no apparent reason (false trigger)
|
1. Interference from on/off switching of electric fans or lights on the same circuit as your security floodlight.
(This problem does not always occur but a faulty switch may cause the security floodlight to switch on)
| Should the false triggering become, troublesome, consider:
(a) Replacing a faulty switch
(b) Connecting the floodlight to a separate circuit (in most cases where one or more of the above suggestions have been carried out, false triggering has been reduced)
2. Reflection from swimming pool, or reflective surface such as smooth white walls| Relocate sensor
Light remains on
| 1. Continuously false triggered| Relocating fitting may help
2. Time is set too long| Reduce time
Light remains on at nighttime
|
Possible heat source in detection zone
| Cover PIR sensor lens with a thick cloth, if the light turns off check
detection area for heat or reflective source, reposition head and decrease the
sensitivity setting if this control is available
Light switches on during daylight hours| LUX control knob is set to daylight
position| Turn the LUX control knob to desired light level setting
When setting the lux controls in daylight the detection distance becomes
shorter|
Interference by sunlight
