Operating Manual 7
The BL4 is a motion detector for ceiling mounting having a circular detection area.
The BL4-C is a ceiling-mounted motion detector with a narrow, elongated detection range especially
for corridors.
Settings can be made with the IR-BL infrared remote control.
3.2 Functions
The general operation of the motion detector is described in the short operating instructions
supplied with the device.
Passive infrared motion detectors register movements of heat sources and convert them into
signals that are evaluated by a processor.
The device is a switching detector. The brightness value below which the illumination is to be
switched on can be freely selected (switch-on threshold).
If the value measured by the light sensor is below the set switch-on threshold, a detected move-
ment causes the connected illumination to switch on. The follow-up time also restarts with each
newly detected movement. After the follow-up time has elapsed, the illumination is switched off.
The illumination can be switched on or off manually by remote control at any time. The device then
remains switched on or off as long as movement is detected plus the set follow-up time.
The follow-up time is restarted by each movement detected. If no movement is detected during a
follow-up time, the detector returns to normal operation (light is switched on during movement and
remains on until no movement is detected for a follow-up time).

4 Mounting
4.1 Choice of mounting location
The most important aspect of motion detection is the correct choice of mounting location.
➜Mount the detector so that the main direction of movement is always tangential (transverse to
the device).
➜Always mount the detector at the location with the lowest amount of daylight.
4.1.1 Mounting location BL4
If the smallest movements are to be detected (e.g. working with the PC keyboard), we recommend
selecting the mounting location directly above the desk. This ensures that the detection can be guar-
anteed.
4.1.2 Mounting location BL4-C
The BL4-C motion detector has a narrow detection range especially for corridors.
➜Mount the corridor/ceiling motion detector so that the red marker arrow labels or Fresnel lens
areas in the detector's lens point in the direction along the corridor.
➜Remove the red marking arrow stickers from the lens after you have connected and installed the
detector and checked that it is working properly.
NOTICE
Observe mounting height!
The Fresnel lens areas, which increase the detection range of the motion sensor in the
longitudinal direction of the corridor, are designed for a mounting height of 2.50 m.
➜It is essential to maintain a mounting height of 2.4 – 2.6 m!
A lower mounting height can significantly reduce the detection range.
A greater mounting height can lead to blind areas where no movement is detected.

4.1.3 Sources of interference
The following sources of interference can lead to faulty switching because they also generate
temperature differences:
￭Radiant heaters
￭Ventilation systems that emit warm or cold air
￭Luminaires in the direct detection area
The detector must be installed at an appropriate distance from these sources.
4.1.4 Range
INFO
With a switch-on threshold greater than 1000 lux (day mode, "sun" setting), the light
evaluation is inactive, i.e. the detector operates independently of brightness.
INFO
Observe mounting height!
Please be sure to observe the mounting height indicated for the devices.
￭The range is reduced by a lower mounting height.
￭With a higher mounting height, the range increases, but the detection sensitivity
decreases.

DANGER
Danger of death due to electrical shock!
Work on electrical equipment may only be carried out by certified electricians or by
instructed persons under the direction and supervision of a certified electrician in accord-
ance with the electrical engineering regulations.
➜Disconnect supply before installing!
➜This device is not to be used to isolate other equipment from the mains supply.
WARNING
Observe inrush currents!
Due to the high inrush currents of electronic ballasts and LED drivers, the maximum num-
ber of switchable luminaires is limited.
➜Use an external contactor for a large number of loads.
