and persons with sensory, physical and/or mental
impairments that would prevent them from using
it safely.
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.
INTRODUCTION:
The PIR (passive infra red) sensing device
continuously scans a preset operating zone and
immediately switches the load-light on when it
detects movement in that area.
This means that whenever movement is detected
within the range of the sensor the load-light will
switch on automatically to illuminate whatever area
you have selected to light. While there is movement
within range of the unit the load light will remain on.
Where to fit your PIR sensor
To achieve best results we suggest you take the
following points into consideration:
General Information and Introduction: Installation and Setting the Controls:
INSTALLATION:
When installing the PIR sensor please refer to Fig.3
below.
1. Switch off the mains before commencing
installation.
2. Unscrew the junction box cover, screw and remove
cover taking care not to lose the rubber gasket.
(See Fig. 3 above).
3. Fix the unit to the mounting surface with the
screw supplied, we recommend the unit should
be fixed a minimum distance of 2.5 metres above
the ground, noting the mounting direction on the
plastic cover.
4. Connect the power cable and load cable to the
terminal block as show in Fig.3.
Note: 3 core 6A/230VAC cable, not less than
1.5mm2 diameter not included. The cable must
pass through the rubber gasket.
5. Close the cover and tighten the screw, not
forgetting to replace the rubber gasket.
6. Restore mains power adjusting the PIR Sensor to
desired working requirements.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROLS:
(Referring to Fig.4 below)
ADJUSTING THE DURATION TIME: the length of
time that remains switched on after activation can
be adjusted from (10±5) seconds to (4±1) minutes;
rotating the TIME knob from (+) to (-) will reduce the
duration time.
Note: Once the load-light has been triggered by the
PIR sensor any subsequent detection will start the
timed period again from the beginning.
ADJUSTING THE LUX CONTROL LEVEL: the
lux control module has a built-in sensing device
(photocell) that detects daylight and darkness.
Rotating the LUX knob clockwise from light (Ô) to
dark (Ç):
The (Ô) position denotes that the unit can work at
day and night.
The (Ç) position denotes that the unit only works
at night.
You can set the PIR to operate the unit at the desired
level by adjusting the LUX knob.
SETTING THE CONTROLS:
1) Put the LUX control knob to light (Ô) position,
turn the power on and wait half a minute for the
control circuit to stabilize. At this stage ensure that
the TIME control knob is set at minimum duration
time (-) position (rotating the TIME knob clockwise
to stop-position). The load-light will now switch on
and remain on for about 30 seconds.
2) Direct the sensor toward the desired area to be
scanned by adjusting the swivel joint on the sensor
arm.
3) Have another person move across the centre of the
area to be scanned and slowly adjust the angle of
the sensor arm until the unit senses the presence
of the moving person, causing the load-light to
switch on (refer to Fig.2A opposite).
4) Adjust time control to required setting.
5) To set the light level at which the load-light will
automatically switch “on” at night, turn the LUX
control knob from daylight (Ô) to night (Ç). If
the load-light is required to switch on earlier, e.g.
dusk, wait for the desired light level, then slowly
turn the LUX control knob towards daylight while
someone walks across the centre of the area to be
detected. When the load-light switches on, release
the LUX control knob. You may need to make
further adjustments to achieve your ideal light level
setting.
Important: To avoid dust build-up and ensure
proper functioning of the PIR Sensor, please wipe
the sensor lens lightly with a dry cloth every 3
months.
Do not mount on a surface that has vibration
Ideally the PIR sensor should be mounted 1.8 to 2.5
metres (6 to 8ft) above the area to be scanned (refer
to Fig.1 below).
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
12 metres at 110°) may vary slightly depending on the
mounting height and location. The detection range of
the unit may also alter with temperature change.
Before selecting a place to install your PIR sensor
you should note that movement across the scan area
is more effective than movement directly towards
or away from the sensor (refer to Fig.2A below). If
movement is made walking directly towards or away
from the sensor and not across the sensor apparent
detection range will be substantially reduced (refer to
Fig.2B below).

Troubleshooting & User Hints:
TROUBLESHOOTING AND USER HINTS:
Note: all passive infra red detectors are more sensitive in cold and dry weather than warm and wet
weather.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY
Light does not switch
on when there is
movement in the
detection area.
1. No mains voltage Check all connections, and MCB Fuses /
switches
2. Nearby lighting is too bright Redirect sensor or relocate the unit
3. Controls set incorrectly Readjust sensor angle or control knob
4. Lamp blown Check lamp functions and replace if necessary
5. Lamp not fitted correctly Make sure the lamp is correctly seated in the
lampholder
6. Wired incorrectly Check wiring and confirm its wired as per the
wiring diagram
7. Sensor positioned in wrong direction Adjust angle and direction of PIR for best
results walk across beam
Light switches on for
no apparent reason
(false trigger)
1. Heat from lamp body activating sensor Adjust PIR sensor or floodlight to allow a
minimum gap of 40mm between floodlight
body and sensor head
2. Heat sources such as air-con, vents, heaters,
flues, other outside lighting, moving cars trees
or shrubs are activating sensor
Adjust direction of sensor head away from
these sources
3. Animals / birds activating sensor Redirecting sensor head may help
4. Interference from on/off switching of electric
fans or lights on the same circuit as your
security floodlight.
(This problem does not always occur but a faulty
switch or noisy fluorescent light may cause the
security floodlight to switch on)
Should the false triggering become,
troublesome, consider:
(a) Replacing a faulty switch
(b) Replacing noisy fluorescent tubes and/or
starters
(c) Connecting the floodlight to a separate
circuit (in most cases where one or more
of the above suggestions have been
carried out, false triggering has been
reduced)
5. Reflection from swimming pool, or reflective
surface such as smooth white walls Redirect sensor
Light remains on 1. Continuously false triggered Redirecting sensor head may help
2. Time is set to long Reduce time
Light remains on at
nighttime Possible heat source in detection zone Cover PIR sensor lens with a thick cloth, if the
light turns off check detection area for heat or
reflective source, reposition head
Light switches on
during daylight hours LUX control knob is set to daylight position Turn the LUX control knob to desired light
level setting
When setting the lux
controls in daylight
the detection distance
becomes shorter
Interference by sunlight Re-test at night
