Hpm Mpes181bp User manual

Introduction

This ﬂoodlight incorporates an automatic PIR sensor with two PAR38

lamps. The sensor continuously scans a preset operating zone and

immediately switches the ﬂoodlight on when it detects movement

from people and animals. It can be used to illuminate pathways, steps,

patios, porches or other areas that require lighting for reasons of safety,

convenience or security. Whilst there is movement within the scanning

area the ﬂoodlight will remain on.

Where to ﬁt your ﬂoodlight

Before selecting a place to install your ﬂoodlight you should note that

movement across the scan area is more effective than movement directly

toward or away from the sensor (refer FIG. 1B). 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. 1A).

Always mount the MPES181BP sensor light in a sheltered position, i.e.

under the eaves of the house.

Ideally the ﬂoodlight should be mounted 1.8-2.5m above the area to be

scanned (refer to Fig. 3).

Installation

For installation of the ﬂoodlight, please refer to Fig. 2.

1. This product must be installed by a licensed electrician according to

AS/NZS 3000.

2. Switch power off at the meter box to isolate circuit.

3. Unscrew the Fixing Cover Screws then remove the cover and

Cable Gasket.

4. Remove the Cable Anchorage and Terminal Block.

5. Use the plastic back plate to mark the position of screw holes onto

mounting surface. Drill the wall to depth of about 4cm and ﬁt the

wall plugs (supplied). Be aware of drilling or screwing into concealed

electrical wiring.

6. Ensure the cable passes through the Cable Gasket and connect cable

to Terminal Block.

7. Afﬁx the back plate to the mounting surface with Mounting Wall

Screws (supplied).

8. Re-ﬁt the Terminal Block and Cable Anchorage.

9. Re-ﬁt the cover.

10.Insert the PAR38 lamps (supplied). Please ensure the sealing rubber

(supplied), is placed on the lamp holder prior to installation of

PAR38 lamps.

Important: loosen all lock nuts and screws on sensor and lamp holders

before making any adjustments.

DO NOT MEGGER TEST.

Understanding the controls

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

anticlockwise from (+) to(-) reduces the duration time. Note: Once the 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. Rotate the LUX knob anticlockwise from

light ( ) to dark ( ). The ( ) position will allow the ﬂoodlight to work day

and night, and the ( ) position works only at night. You can set the unit to

operate at the desired level by adjusting the LUX knob.

Setting the controls

With sensor fully installed by electrician and

power on

1. Turn the LUX control knob to light ( ) position, turn the wall switch

on and wait 30 seconds for the control circuit to stabilise. Ensure the

TIME control knob is set at minimum (-) and lux control set to daylight

setting.The ﬂoodlights on the sensor light will now switch on and will

remain on for about 10sec.

2. Direct the sensor toward the desired scanning area by adjusting

the elbow joint and swivel joint on the sensor arm. Important:

loosen all lock nuts and screws on sensor arm and lamp holders

before making any adjustments.

3. Have someone move across the centre of the area to be scanned and

slowly adjust the angle of the sensor arm until the unit senses the

moving person, causing the ﬂoodlights to switch on. (Refer Fig.1 B)

4. Adjust time control to required setting.

5. To set the light level at which the ﬂoodlights will automatically

switch “On”, turn the LUX control knob from daylight to night. If

the ﬂoodlights are 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 ﬂoodlights switch on, release the

LUX knob. You may need to make further adjustments to achieve

your ideal light level setting.

Important: when adjusting lamp holders, ensure that the PAR38

lamps are not touching or in close proximity to sensor head, heat

from the PAR38 lamps may distort the unit. To avoid dust build-up

and ensure proper functioning of the sensor light, wipe the sensor

lens lightly with a damp cloth every 3 months. Never modify the

unit, there are no user serviceable parts inside.

TEST MODE

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 fuses/switches.

2. Lamps faulty or missing. Check. Replace.

3. Nearby lighting is too bright. Redirect sensor or relocate the unit.

4. Controls set incorrectly. Readjust sensor angle or control knob.

5. Sensor positioned in wrong direction. Redirect sensor and/or adjust.

Light switches on for no apparent

reason. (False triggering)

1. Heat from lamp activating sensor. Adjust lamp holders to allow a minimum gap of 40mm

between PAR38 lamp and sensor head.

2. Heat sources such as air con, vents, heater

ﬂues, barbecues, other outside lighting,

moving cars are activating sensor.

Adjust direction of sensor head away from these sources.

3. Animals/birds e.g. possums or domestic

animals.

Redirecting sensor head may help.

4. Interference from on/off switching of electric

fans or lights on the same circuit as your

ﬂoodlight. (This problem does not always

occur but a faulty switch or noisy ﬂuorescent

light may cause the ﬂoodlight to switch on.)

Should the false triggering become troublesome, consider:

(a) Replacing a faulty switch.

(b) Replacing noisy ﬂuorescent tubes or starters.

(In most cases where one or more of the above suggestions

have been carried out, false triggering has been reduced).

5. From swimming pool reﬂection or reﬂective

surface.

Redirect sensor.

6. Unit is more sensitive during colder months.

Unit is sensing moving trees, etc.

Turn sensitivity dial anti clockwise to reduce sensitivity.

Light remains on. 1. Continuously false triggered. Redirecting sensor head may help.

2. Time is set too long. Reduce time.

3. Unit is more sensitive during colder months.

Unit is sensing moving trees, etc.

Turn sensitivity dial anti clockwise to reduce sensitivity.

Light switches on during daylight. 1. LUX control knob is set to daylight position. Turn the LUX control knob to desired light setting.

When setting controls in daylight

the detection distance becomes

shorter.

1. Interference by sunlight. Re-test at night.
