Safety
- Before installation or maintenance, ensure the mains supply to the PIR 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 PIR and installed in accordance with the current IEE Wiring and Building Regulations.
- Check that the total load on the circuit including when this PIR 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.

mount PIR. The flush and surface base plates are interchangeable. PDSMSB (Sold
Separately)
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 2m – 2.5m mounting height. Careful positioning of the luminaire 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 behavior if placed in sight of a window. 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 turned off.
-
An isolating switch should be installed to enable the power to be switched ON and OFF to the PIR. This allows the unit to be easily switched OFF for maintenance purposes.
-
Mark the position of the fitting holes using the base of the PIR as a template, taking care to avoid ceiling joists and other obstructions within the installation area. Take note of the hole centers of the base plate for reference.
-
Drill the holes and insert the rawl plugs into position.
-
Pass the 230V 50Hz mains supply and load cables through the hole and prepare for termination.
-
Knock out the most appropriate cable entry points on the base plate for the installation required.
-
Secure the base plate to the ceiling using the screws provided.
-
Locate the terminal connections and terminate the cables into the terminal block ensuring that the correct polarity is observed and that all bare conductors are sleeved.
(See Section 6. Connection Diagram) -
When wiring is complete, tighten the non-dropping screws shown in the above illustration to secure the PIR to the base plate and ensure not to over-tighten.

Commissioning and Operation
- Restore the power from the main supply breaker or isolating switch and test for the correct operation. Walk Test Procedure
- Adjust the time dial (fully anti-clockwise), and the Lux dial should be set to the sun symbol for daylight/night operation for the purpose of the walk test.
- Allow the PIR to settle down if the attached load is switched on, this is called warm-up mode and can take several minutes to switch off as long as there is nothing detected n the pickup area.
- Once the unit is in the OFF position walk across the detection area when the PIR is triggered and the load will turn ON for the minimum set amount of time.
- Once you are happy with the pickup area of the PIR you can set the Lux dial in the anticlockwise direction to trigger when dusk is approaching. (This may be best performed in real-time in the evening subject to the user’s preference).
- You can also adjust the time dial which will vary the timeout periods of the PIR once the pickup area is vacated of any movement.
Switching from Presence to Absence mode
- The PIR will come pre-set to presence mode as standard, if you require an absence detector continue following this section. Note that a IR10AB remote will be required to
change modes. Otherwise, you can skip to section 9.
Switching From Presence To Absence Mode:
- To switch the PIR from presence to absence mode, press the lock/unlock button and you will see 2 flashes from the LED receiver of the PIR, this indicates that the PIR is unlocked and ready to receive further instructions from the remote control. Next press the Semi-Auto button on the IR10AB remote control. The LED receiver light will flash once for up to 2 seconds and disappear, this indicates that the PIR is now in Semi-Auto (absence mode).
- When the PIR is set to absence mode, the unit will not switch on automatically when someone walks into the detection area.
- The person in the room must press the retractable push-button for the light to switch on. From this point onwards as long as detection in the area has constant movement, the PIR will continue to keep the luminaire or attached load switched on until the subject has moved out of the detection area and the time delay function takes over.
- For example, if set to 10 minutes the PIR will begin to countdown from this value once nothing is in the detection area. If a subject is detected the time delay will reset.
Switching From Absence To Presence Mode:
- To switch the PIR from absence to presence mode, press the lock/unlock button and you will see 2 flashes from the LED receiver of the PIR. Next press the Auto button on the IR10AB remote control. The LED receiver light will flash twice and disappear, this indicates that the PIR is now in Auto (presence mode). There will be up to a 1-minute delay in changing modes where the PIR will not switch.

The IR10AB is an optional remote control that is sold separately. If absence detection is required the IR10AB will be needed to change modes over.

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
|
Cause/Solution
---|---
The luminaire does
not switch on when
in the detection area
| Bulb faulty or 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.
Nearby electromagnetic disturbance from a neighboring circuit (CCTV
interference).
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 luminaire receives adequate daylight from all angles (not covered).
