SET UP AND OPERATION SET UP AND OPERAT
The outdoor sensor is equipped with a highly sensitive PIR (Passive Infrared)
motion detector. A multi-cell technology fresnel lens is used to divide the
sensor's basic detection range into multiple separate segments or zones. The
sensor automatically scans for movement between zones.
The outdoor sensor will provide optimal performance and range when installed
in a vertical position approximately 2.5m above the ground; as is shown in the
diagrams in FIGURE 3 below. The sensor head can be adjusted to allow optimal
coverage of the detection area. The horizontal coverage zone can reach up to
15m with an angle of 110°.
To adjust sensor head refer to FIGURE 4.
Simply loosen the two ball joint locking nuts (A), located at either end of the
sensor arm (B), adjust sensor head (C) and tighten nuts (A).
NOTE: Always loosen locking nuts on the sensor before adjusting. Failure to do
so can damage the sensor or crack the lock nut.

Time Duration:
The length of time the sensor will activate a load after detection can be adjusted
from 10 seconds to 10 minutes. Rotating the time knob (marked with the clock)
anti-clockwise will reduce the duration time.
Lux Level:
The sensor has a built in photoelectric cell that automatically detects daylight
and darkness levels. Rotating the lux control knob anti-clockwise (marked with
the day/night image), will ensure that the sensor only works at night. By rotating
the lux control knob clockwise, the sensor will work in both daylight and at night
depending on the application - this setting is primarily used for testing the
sensor after installation.
Sensitivity:
The sensitivity control (marked with the sensor symbol) allows you to adjust
the sensitivity of the sensor. This adjustment is useful to adjust the sensitivity
of the PIR to prevent false triggering and to adjust the detection range. Unless
required, the sensitivity adjustment should be operated with the knob turned
fully clockwise.

SET UP AND OPERATION SET UP AND OPERATI
Walk Test
1) Rotate the lux knob fully clockwise for daylight operation, set the time
control to min (Anti-clockwise) and the sensitivity to maximum (clockwise).
2) Turn on the power at the isolating switch. The load should turn on for a
short period of time.
3) Wait 30 seconds for the circuit to stabilise.
4) If not already adjusted, direct the sensor toward the desired area, adjusting
the elbow joint on the sensor arm. Loosen all nuts on the sensor before
adjusting.
5) Have another person move across the centre of the detection area and
slowly adjust the angle of the sensor arm until the load switches on. Your
sensor is now aimed at your selected area.
6) Adjust the time control to the desired level.
7) Adjust the sensitivity (if required) to limit detection range. This can be tested
via walk testing.
8) Adjust the lux control by rotating anti-clockwise to revert to night time
operation. If the load is required to switch on earlier, e.g. dusk; wait for the
desired light level, and slowly turn the lux knob clockwise while someone
walks across the centre of the detection area. When the load switches on,
release the lux control knob.
Manual Override Feature
When the power is initially turned ON, the sensor operates in AUTO mode. In
this mode, the sensor turns the load ON and OFF automatically.
The manual override function means that the sensor can be put permanently
“ON”. In this mode the PIR sensor is disabled.

Wall switch action: OFF > ON.
10) Wait for 3 seconds and the light will turn “ON” permanently and the sensor
will be in the “manual mode”.
Note: If the wall switch action is done more than twice, the sensor may not
enter into “manual mode”.
Setting the Sensor into “Auto Mode”
1) To change back to “auto mode”, turn the power “OFF” and wait for about
10 seconds, then turn it back “ON” again turning the switch “ON” once only.
2) Wall switch action: OFF, wait 10 seconds > ON
3) The PIR sensor will enter into the “warm-up” mode and the load will stay
“ON” for 10 seconds, then will turn “OFF”.
The sensitivity control (marked with the sensor symbol) allows you to adjust
the sensitivity of the sensor. This adjustment is useful to adjust the sensitivity
of the PIR to prevent false triggering.
4) Now wait for about 10 seconds for the circuit to stabilise and the sensor
will operate now in “auto mode”.
