SET UP AND OPERATION SET UP AND OPERAT
The indoor sensor is equipped with a highly sensitive PIR (Passive Infrared)
motion detector. It utilises the infrared energy from the human body as the
control signal source to switch the load on once it enters the detection field.
The sensor automatically scans for movement between zones.
The indoor sensor will provide optimal performance and range when installed
in a vertical position approximately 2.2 to 4m above the ground; as is shown in
the diagrams in FIGURE 3 below. The horizontal coverage zone can reach up to
6m with an angle of 360°.

Time Duration:
The length of time the sensor will activate a load after detection can be adjusted
from 10 seconds to 7 minutes ±2 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 - the daylight setting is primarily used for
testing the sensor after installation.

SET UP AND OPERATION SET UP AND OPERAT
Walk Test
1) Rotate the Lux knob fully clockwise for daylight operation, set the time
control to minimum (anti-clockwise).
2) Turn on the power at the isolating switch. The load should turn on for a
short period of time (warm up 30 seconds).
3) Wait another 10 seconds for the circuit to stabilise.
4) Walk across the centre of the detection area until the load switches on. Your
sensor is now ready for final adjusting.
5) Adjust the time control to the desired level.
6) Adjust the Lux control 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.
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.

9) To bypass the “AUTO mode” and set the sensor into “MANUAL mode”, turn
the wall switch “OFF” and “ON” twice within 2 seconds.
Wall switch action: OFF > ON > OFF > ON.
10) Wait for 3 seconds and the light will turn “ON” permanently and the sensor
will be in the “MANUAL mode”.
Note: The maximum manual override time is 8 hours, after this time the
sensor will automatically enter AUTO 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”.
4) Now wait for about 10 seconds for the circuit to stabilise and the sensor
will operate now in “AUTO mode”.

Nuisance
triggered
Possible Cause
1) Auto off time is set
too long
2) Sensor is nuisance
triggered
3) Incorrect wiring
1) Exceeding the
detection range
2) No power is supplied
3) Incorrect wiring
There are heat sources,
highly reflective objects
or any objects which
may be swayed in the
wind within the
detection coverage
Suggested Solution
1) Set auto off time to a
shorter time and check if
the load switches off
2) Keep away from detection
coverage to avoid
activating sensor while
doing the test
3) Refer to wiring diagrams
for correct connection
1) Walk in the effective
detection range
2) Switch on the power
3) Refer to wiring diagrams
for correct connection
Avoid aiming the sensor
towards heat sources, such
as air conditionings, electric
fans, heaters or any highly
reflective surfaces. Make
sure there are no swaying
objects within the detection
coverage.
