General Information & Where To Fit Your PIR Floodlight: Diagrams & Installation:
Fig 1
INSTALLATION:
Choose the location for your floodlight taking
care to comply with the conditions listed above
and when installing the PIR flood light refer to
fig. 2 & fig 4 opposite.
01) Switch off the mains before commencing
installation.
02) Remove the wall bracket from the fitting by
removing the two bolts and washers from
each side, take care not to lose any of these
parts —see fig. 4 opposite.
03) Using the bracket as a template mark and
then drill the appropriate fixing holes.
04) Secure the bracket with suitable fixings (not
supplied).
05) Make the connections to the mains supply.
If you are making your connection outdoors,
you will need to use a watertight connection
box (not supplied).
06) Fix housing back into wall mounting
bracket; adjust the direction of the floodlight
and secure with bolts and washers each end
of the bracket and tighten securely.
07) Restore mains power.
08) Have another person move across the
centre of the area to be scanned and slowly
adjust the angle of the sensor arm vertically
until the unit senses the presence of the
moving person, causing the floodlight to
switch on (refer to fig. 2 & fig. 3 opposite).
NOTE: Fixed head with vertical movement only.
IMPORTANT:
The lux levels and the duration time are preset
by the factory and are not adjustable.
The length of time set for activation is 6
minutes.
Once the light has been triggered by the PIR
sensor any subsequent detection will be 6
minutes from the last detection.
INTRODUCTION:
The floodlight 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.

environments may result in a shortened working
life.
Switch off the mains before commencing
installation and remove the appropriate circuit
fuse or lock off MCB.
This unit is suitable for outdoor use.
This product is designed for permanent
connection to fixed wiring: this must be a
suitable circuit (protected with the appropriate
MCB or fuse).
Before making fixing hole(s), check that
there are no obstructions hidden beneath the
mounting surface such as pipes or cables.
Make sure that the fixings are strong enough to
support the considerable weight of the fitting
and hold it rigidly.
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 must be connected to earth.
WARNING: This product becomes hot!
IMPORTANT:
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.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
WHERE TO FIT YOUR PIR FLOODLIGHT:
To achieve best results we suggest you take the
following points into consideration:
Do not mount on a surface that has vibration.
Ideally the PIR flood light should be mounted
1.8 to 2.5 metres (6 to 8ft) above the area to be
scanned (refer to fig.1 opposite).
To avoid damage to the unit do not aim sensor
towards 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
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 7 metres at 120°) may vary
slightly depending on the mounting height and
location.
The detection range of the unit may also alter
with temperature changes. Before selecting a
place to install your PIR floodlight you should
note that the movement across the scan area
is more effective than the movement directly
towards or away from the sensor. (Refer to fig. 2
opposite).
If movement is made walking directly towards
or away from the sensor and not across the
apparent detection range will be substantially
reduced (refer fig. 3 opposite).
