SELECTING A
1LOCATION
Your PIR Detector has a number of
detection zones at various horizontal and
vertical angles, as shown. A moving
human body crossing or entering one of
the zones activates the Detector. Mount the
Detector at a height of 2.5m for the best
all-round coverage [Fig. 1]- it may be
positioned up to 4m high for a greater
detection range, but the detection pattern
will be less effective.
Careful positioning of the tilt and swivel
Detector head is needed to ensure optimum
performance. When performing the WALK
TEST [Section 4], the angle of the head
may require slight adjustment, particularly
when mounting your PIR Detector higher
than the recommended 2.5m.
Also note that the PIR Detector is much
more sensitive to movement ACROSS
its field of vision, [Fig. 2], rather than
movement directly toward it [Fig. 3]. So if
possible, mount the PIR facing ACROSS
the approach to your property.

Fig. 2
Fig. 3
False activation reduction technology
makes your PIR Detector less prone to
activation by wind, rain, moving branches,
etc, but care should be taken to avoid
siting near sources of heat - central heating
outlets, tumble dryer exhausts and extractor
fans, for instance. Under extreme conditions
branches and reflective surfaces such as
pools of water or white painted walls can
also be a problem. Wherever possible,
mount the PIR away from such sources of
interference [Fig. 4].
If an object such as a moving branch
repeatedly activates the Detector in normal
operation, masking the lens of the Detector
with the blanking strip provided or electrical
tape is a simple solution [Fig. 5]. By trial
and error, you will discover how much of
the lens to mask to blank out the problem -
note that the top half of the lens corresponds
to long range detection, the bottom half to
short range.

WIRING &
3CONNECTION
The unit requires connection to a 240Vac
50Hz mains electricity supply. This is best
achieved by connecting the unit to the
domestic lighting circuit. It is suggested that
3-core round flexible cable of at least
1mm2gauge is used. It is also allowable
for the unit to be connected to the
domestic socket ring main, though it
is suggested that a 5 amp fused spur is
used in this case.
NOTE: when connecting to METAL LIGHT
FITTINGS ensure an earth conductor is
connected to provide earth continuity to
the metal fitting.
IMPORTANT
ALWAYS switch OFF the mains power
BEFORE attempting to install or maintain
the PIR. If in doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
All installations shall comply with
National Wiring Regulations.

4TESTING
Walk Testing
When the installation procedure is complete,
the unit is ready for testing.
The Walk Test procedure is as follows:
Step 1
Set the two adjustment controls on the
underside of the PIR to the following
positions:
TIME - Fully anti-clockwise
LUX-Fully clockwise
With these settings, the unit will operate
during daytime as well as at night,
illuminating the floodlight for approx.
5 seconds each time movement is
detected. This allows testing to be carried
out following installation in order to establish
the best position for the sensor head,
ensuring optimum performance.

Step 2
Apply the power by switching on the circuit
breaker/internal wall switch. The lamp will
immediately illuminate as the system
goes through its ‘warm-up’ period. After
approximately 1-2 minutes the lamp
will
extinguish. Please try to remain outside
the
detection area during the warm-up period.
Step 3
Walk across the detection area approx. 5
metres from the unit. As you cross the first
detection ‘zone’ the lamp should illuminate.
Now stand still until the lamp extinguishes
(this should take approx. 5 seconds).
Step 4
Start moving again. As you cross each
‘zone’ the lamp should illuminate as in
step 3.
Step 5
Repeat Steps 3 & 4, walking at various
distances and angles to the unit (see
Fig.14). This will help you to establish
the detection pattern.
Step 6
If the detection area is too small for your
requirements, try angling the sensor head
up. This should increase the coverage
distance. Similarly, angling the head
downwards will reduce the range should
a smaller coverage area be required.
For more unusual requirements (i.e. very
short range), it may be necessary to ‘mask’
an area of the sensor lens to achieve the
desired coverage.
Please refer to Section 1 for details.
Step 7
Carry out Walk Tests and adjustments until
you are happy with the coverage area.
NOTE: Passive Infra Red sensors are less
effective at detecting the movement of
vehicles, e.g. on driveways. If this is a
feature you require, some further
adjustment of the sensor head may be
required. Test by driving the vehicle in and
back out of the detection zone when the
engine is at its normal temperature.

Setting up for automatic
operation
When Walk Tests are complete, the unit can
be set for automatic operation as follows:
Step 1
The TIME setting controls how long the
lamp load remains illuminated following
activation and after no further movement is
detected. The minimum time (TIME control
fully anti-clockwise) is approx. 5 seconds,
whilst the maximum time (TIME control
fully clockwise) is approx. 15 minutes.
Set the control to the desired setting
between these limits.
NB: It is important to understand that the
time setting determines how long the lamp
will remain illuminated after all motion
ceases. For example, say the time is set at
1 minute, someone then activates the
sensor and remains in the detection area
for 2 minutes before leaving.
The lamp will remain illuminated for the 2
minutes whilst the intruder is present and a
further 1 minute after he/she leaves, giving
a total ON time of 3 minutes (all timings
are approximate).
Step 2
The LUX control determines the level of
darkness required for the unit to start
operating each evening. The setting is
best achieved by the following procedure:
- Set the LUX control knob fully anti-clockwise.
Wait until evening.
- When the ambient light level reaches the
level of darkness at which you wish the
lamp to become operative (i.e. at dusk),
slowly rotate the control in a clockwise
direction until a point is reached where the
lamp illuminates. Leave the control set at
this point.
At this position, the unit should become
operative at approximately the same level
of darkness each evening. Observe the
operation of the unit over a period of a few
days. If you find that the unit is starting to
operate too early (i.e. when it is quite light),
adjust the control slightly anti-clockwise. If
the unit starts to operate too late (i.e. only
when it is very dark), adjust the control
slightly clockwise.
Continue to adjust until the unit operates
as desired.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
5
Cover the Detector lens completely with thick cloth or a piece of cardboard to
prevent it ‘seeing’. If the unit now switches off after the set time duration,
there has been interference from some source within range. Adjust the tilt and
swivel head or mask off the required area of lens [see Section 1] to avoid the
interference. Sometimes strong winds, passers-by, road traffic, small animals
or pets can trigger the PIR. Mask or reposition the unit if necessary.
Thoroughly check that your wiring is correct according to the wiring diagram.
Be sure you allow the unit to complete its warm-up period - stay well out of the
detection area and wait [warm-up should never take longer than 5 minutes].
Check power is ON. If so, turn power OFF and check wiring is correct, and that
no connections are loose. Check that lamps in the system have not failed, and
that they are properly seated in their holders.
Ambient light level may be too high in operational area. Adjust the LUX control
slowly clockwise until lamp illuminates [See Section 4 for details].
Ambient light level may be too low in operational area. During daylight, turn the
LUX control slightly anti-clockwise. When lamp extinguishes, enter detection
area, if PIR still activates, adjust LUX further in anti-clockwise direction and
enter the detection zone again. Repeat procedure until PIR does not activate
[See Section 4 for details].
Check suitability of location - see Section 1 for advice, and reposition PIR if
necessary.
The PIR Detector operates by sensing body heat. On cold evenings, the Detector
more easily ‘sees’ body heat; in warm weather, the opposite is true. For this
reason, in some cases it may be necessary to make small seasonal adjustments
to the Detector’s head position, for trouble-free year round operation.
REMEMBER Always ensure the mains supply to the unit is isolated before
removing covers which allow access to live parts.
