BDH Elkay 570A-1 Manual

The Outdoor Illuminated PIR Timer
(3 wire) is part of the Elkay family of
switches, timers and detectors
which save energy and increase
convenience in and around your
home, garden or premises.
Rating at 240V ac
• All load types 16A
• Time Delay: 2 min - 2 hrs
• Lux Level setting
• Blue Locator ring
• Last minute indicator
• IP66
Usage
The outdoor PIR timer has been designed
tocontrol lighting, heating and ventilation.
The unit is switched on by the detection
of moving body heat within a specifi ed
range. When body heat is no longer
detected, the unit will switch o after
the adjustable time period has elapsed.
If moving body heat is detected again
during the timing period, the timing
sequence will restart. The unit has a lux
level adjustment, which measures the
ambient light levels and prevents
lighting being switched on when there
is su cient light in the room.
Your Elkay PIR timer has the added benefi t
of a manual override facility. This allows
the lights to be turned on for the set
period of time when the ambient light
level is such that the lights would not
usually come on. In dark conditions the
manual override disables the PIR
allowing the lights to be turned o
indefi nitely or when the override switch
is re-pressed.

Positioning
Use the detection range to determine a
suitable location for the sensor.
When locating the position of the unit
avoid subjecting the sensor to
direct sunlight. Ensure that the sensor
is not adjacent to the load. Do not site the
unit on a vibrating surface, or near a forced
air heating or ventilation (see diagram 2).

Mounting and Installation
IMPORTANT Please note that it is essential
that the Live In wire and switch Live Out
is identifi ed prior to commencing
installation. Turn o mains supply for
installation. Your Elkay unit is compatible
with a single gang, 25mm deep, British
Standard accessory plate. Please ensure
that the top and bottom lugs are removed,
if fi tted, from metal wall boxes prior to
fi tting. Ensure that there is adequate
space for wiring.

Step 1
Place the Live In wire into the left hand
position of the connector, the switched
Live Out wire into the second from
left position of the connector and neutral
into right hand position of connector.
(see diagram 1).
Step 2
Set the timing as per timing table
(see diagram 3). The black square illustrates
where the dip switch should be situated.
For example:
10min 1 = OFF, 2 = ON, 3 = OFF, 4 = OFF
Step 3
To adjust lux level (i.e. the ambient light
level at which you would like your lights to
be activated via the PIR timer) please
refer to the lux level rotary adjuster
diagram. Rotate the lux level adjustment
clockwise to decrease the level of light
required to turn the lights on and
anticlockwise to increase the level of light
required to turn the lights on. See diagram
1 for position of lux level adjustment.
Step 4
Re-apply mains supply. The blue locator
ring will light up around the PIR button.
Your light or appliance, will now be
switched o. Please refer to operation
section.
Step 5
Reduce lux level to sucient level by
rotating clockwise towards (–) if required.
(–) represents 0 lux level.
Installation Notes
N.B. After installation the PIR will require
approximately 5 minutes to initialise.
Outdoor Installation
Outdoor Unit can only be used in conjunction
with the surface mount box supplied.
Take the surface mount box and remove
the knock out section. It is recommend the
hole is cut with a 20mm hole saw for
cleanest eect. If required and to ensure
IP66 waterproof rating, please use a suitable
M20 cable gland use appropriate sealing
washers. Mount the surface mount box on a
secure surface using the mounting pack
supplied. Place screw cover seals over the
mounting screws. It is essential that the
correct IP 66 rated connections are made to
keep the integrity of the IP rated back
box maintained. Mount timer unit onto
surface mount box using the four screws at
all four corners ensuring even connection
with the seal-Place screw cover seals
over left and right screw cavities. Clip on
front fascia plate.
Flexible Cable – It is always better to use
cable glands with exible cable, with the
gland connected at the bottom, rather than
through the top. Ensure sealing washers
are used with all connections and all glands
and connections are done up tightly with
a spanner to ensure water tightness.
SWA Glands – SWA glands can be used
but must be IP rated. The IP rating for the
SWA gland guarantees only the
connections to the SWA cable. You will still
need a nylon sealing washer to maintain
the IP rating from the gland to the switch
housing back box. As a general rule,
nylon washers work best with this type of
application. Rubber washers can deform
when used with metal glands. Connections
must be done up tightly with a spanner
to ensure water tightness.

Operation of the Unit
1. In standard operation, the PIR will
now sense body heat when passing
through the detection zone. Each time
the PIR is triggered the red LED will
light and reset the timer back to the start
of the timing period. The unit will then
wait 20 seconds approximately
before allowing the PIR unit to sense
and re-trigger the timing period again.
2. If no one is present in the room or the
detection zone is not passed through,
during its set time period the timer
will time out, turning o the lights or
appliance and the blue indicator/locator
ring will light up.
3. The PIR unit will only trigger the lights or
appliance if the ambient light level is
below that set on the lux level adjustment.
4. When the ambient light level is light
enough so the lights would not normally
come on with PIR use, the override switch
can be used turn on the lights for the set
period time. This can be used in times
where addional light is required in a room.
To operate press the PIR lens, the red
indicator LED will light to show it has
been pressed and the timing will begin,
in the last minute of timing the red
LED will  ash.
5. When the ambient light level is dark
enough that the PIR is in normal
operation, the override switch can be
used to disable the PIR and the lights
turned o indefi nitely or until the
override switch is pressed. This can be
done by pressing the PIR lens, the red LED
will  ash rapidly to indicate the PIR has
been disabled and can be re-enabled
simply by pressing the lens again.
N.B. The PIR will require approximately
1 minute to initialise.
