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.

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.
(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. 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.
