Precautions and Warranty
2-wire wall mounted PIR occupancy switch
WAPIR WAPIRX
DANLERS 2-wire wall mounted passive infra-red occupancy switch
(WAPIR) does not require a neutral connection and can be used as a
simplereplacementforanexistingone-waywallswitch.
TheWAPIRincorporatesapassiveinfra-redquadsensortodetectmovement
ofawarmbodywithinthedetectionzone(diagramA)andaphotocellto
monitortheambientlightlevel.
Upondetectingmovement,iftheambientlightisdarkenough,theWAPIR
switch will turn the load on. The ambient threshold can be set by the user
tobetweenapproximately100luxandinnitelux(photocellinactive)via
theLUXadjuster(diagramB).
Ifno moremovement isdetected withinapre-selectedtime,thenthe
WAPIRswitchwillturntheloadoff.ThistimelagcanbesetviatheTIME
adjuster to 10 seconds, 20s, 40s, 1 minute 15 seconds, 2m30s, 5m, 10m,
20mor40minutes(diagramB).
TheWAPIRalsoincorporatesasensitivityadjuster.
Turnfullyclockwise
formaximumrangeandsensitivityofthepersondetector.
The WAPIR has a manual switch on the front plate to select between
‘override off’ (button out) or ‘automatic mode’ (button in). The button
on the WAPIRXisaccessedthroughasmallholeinthefrontoftheunit
andfunctionsinthesameway.
SeveralWAPIRunitscanbewiredinparallel,usingre-functioned2-way
lighting wiring, to allow multiple PIR detection (diagram C).
Loading limits
TheWAPIRshouldonlybeconnectedtoa230V50HzACsupply.
DANLERSWAPIRunitscanswitchupto6amps(1500W)of:
• Fluorescentlamps,eitherhighfrequencyofswitchstart
• Incandescentormainshalogenlamps(recommendedwithintegralsafetyfuse)
• Electronicorwirewoundtransformers.
They can also switch up to:
• 2amps(500W)ofcompactuorescentorLEDlamps(typically50lamps)
• 1amp(250W)ofFans.
Largerloadscanbeswitchedviaacontactor(seeover).

Lux and Time set-up
Forconvenience,ensurethattheTIMEissettotheminimumandthe
buttoninwhensettinguptheLUXlevel.AfterwardssettheTIMEand
SENStovaluessuitablefortheapplication.
The LUX is best set up when the local ambient light is close to the
minimumdesiredlightlevel.WiththeLUXsetfullyclockwisewaitforthe
WAPIRtoswitchoff.RotatetheLUXadjusterslowlyanticlockwise(-to
+),whilstwavingyourhandapproximately1minfrontoftheWAPIR,
until the load switches on.
Fault nding
The load will not switch on:
• Theoverrideswitchisinthe‘out’position.
Theloadstayspermanentlyonoroff,possiblyafterafewweeks.
• Theloadislessthan40WRESISTIVEperswitchandthe 
rechargeable battery has not been able to recharge.
  Addonepowerfactorcorrectioncapacitor,atalighttting,for
  eachWAPIRinthecircuit.Ordercode:CAPLOAD.
Replace battery with a similar, recharged, rechargeable battery.
  Alternatively,putthebuttonout(overrideoff)andwiththe
  productlooseonthewall,tapitwithascrewdriverhandle,the
  lampswillswitchoffandthebatterywillcharge.

Minimum Load
Because there is no neutral connection, there is a minimum load
requirement of 40W RESISTIVE for each WAPIR in circuit. If the
load is less than this or is not totally resistive (contactor, CFL,
LED or 2D lamps) then one power factor correction capacitor,
CAPLOAD, needs to be added across the load for each
WAPIR in circuit (diagram C).
TheWAPIRcontainsa9v,PP3(150mAhr),re-chargeablenickelmetal
hydridebatterywhichtricklechargeswhentheloadisswitchedoff.
Do not allow the battery connector terminals to touch any of the
‘mains’ electrical wires, including earth.Theswitchmustreceivea
permanentlivesupplyandshouldbeusedinapplicationswherethe
loadwillbeonforlessthan12hoursperday.
NOTE:Ifthedatestampismorethan3monthsoutofdate,theproductneedstobeleft
inthe‘off’statefornotlessthan12hourstochargethebatterybeforenormaloperation.
1.Pleasereadthesenotescarefullybeforecommencing work.
Incaseofdoubtpleaseconsultaqualiedelectrician.
Makesurethepowerisisolatedfromthecircuit.
2.Theswitchshouldbeplacedfacingtheareawhereactivityisexpected,
mounted between 1 and 1.8m high (diagramA). If the photocell
overridefacilityisrequired,theswitchmustbesitedinaposition
wherethedaylightcangive greaterilluminationthanthearticial
light.TheWAPIRissuitableforwallmountingonly.
3.ConnecttheWAPIRas: L Livein
SL Switched line out
As shown in the wiring diagrams opposite.
4.AfewWAPIRcanbewiredinparalleltocontrolthesameload.
5.Therearethreeadjustmentsontheundersideedgeoftheswitch:
TIME,LUXandSENS(sensitivity)(diagramB)
6.Whenthewiringhasbeencompletedandveried,ensurethebutton
is pressed in, switch on the supply and test operation.
7.The lights will switch on for 1 minute before the unit will go into
automatic mode.
