The unit utilises passive infrared technology to detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.
Upon detection, the lamp will illuminate for a user-determined time period.
An integral daylight sensor ensures night-only operation.
PARTS INCLUDED
- Luminaire PIR Sensor unit.
- Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future reference.
- 2 x Accessory Packs including two rubber gaskets.
- 2 x 230V 120W PAR 38 ES reflector lamp.
TOOLS & PARTS NEEDED
- 3 core flexible cable
- Electric/hand-held drill & bits.
- Terminal or Electrician’s screwdriver
- Large slotted/philips screwdriver
- Wire cutters
Unit is for outdoor use only. Unit must be mounted on a non-flammable surface as a fixed
luminaire, and is not suitable for portable use.
The unit can get very hot during use. Ensure the unit has cooled before handling.
Ensure adequate ventilation space is allowed between the unit and any object above, in front or
to either side of the unit. Suggested space is 0.5m above, 0.3m to either side & 1.0m in front.
Do not attempt to install during wet weather, if you are suffering from nausea or dizzy spells or on
medication with similar side effects.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified tradesperson or electrician.
SECTION ONE
The motion detector has a number of detection zones, at various vertical and horizontal angles
as shown (see diagram A).
A moving human body needs to cross/enter one of these zones to activate the sensor. The best
all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted at the optimum height of 2.5m.
Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum performance. See diagram A
detailing detection range and direction.
The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its field of vision than to movement directly
TOWARDS (see diagram B). Therefore position the unit so that the sensor looks ACROSS the
likely approach path.
Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any sources of heat in the detection area (extractor
fans, tumble dryer exhausts etc.).
Reflective surfaces (ie pools of water or white-painted walls) and overhanging branches may
cause false activation under extreme conditions.
During extreme weather conditions the motion sensor may exhibit unusual behaviour. This does
not indicate a fault with the sensor. Once normal weather conditions return, the sensor will
resume normal operation.

SELECTING THE LOCATION
SF-ATS-PAR38S-B.qxd 16/05/2005 11:23 Page 4

SECTION THREE
INSTALLATION
After choosing a suitable location (see previous section) install the unit as follows:
The unit is suitable for connection to a 240V 50Hz electricity supply. It is suggested that
2-core round flexible cable of 1mm² gauge is used. An internal switch should be installed to
switch the power to the unit ON & OFF. This allows the sensor to be easily switched off when not
required or for maintenance purposes.
Mark the position of the fitting holes.
Drill the holes. Insert wallplugs into the holes.
When installing the PAR 38 lamps, ensure the rubber gasket is securely fitted to cover the metal
rim of the lamp and the lampholder.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Switch off the electricity at the fuse box by removing the relevant fuse or switching off
the circuit breaker before proceeding with the installation.
CONNECTION
This product can be wired in one of two ways:
Method 1
The unit comes pre-wired with approximately
1 metre of cable. Connect as follows:
o Drill a hole through the wall at the mounting
position.
o Pass the pre-wired cable through the hole.
o Connect this cable into the household mains
supply using an internal junction box (not
supplied) as follows.
NEUTRAL = Blue
LIVE = Brown
Method 2
Wiring connections can be made directly into
the unit’s wiring box using alternative cable.
o Remove the backplate by unscrewing the
four retaining screws.
o Remove the existing cable from the
terminals.
o Pass the new cable through the entry
grommet and secure under the cable clamp.
o Connect the cable to the terminals :
NEUTRAL = Blue
LIVE = Brown
o Re-fit the backplate, ensuring the foam
gasket is correctly in place.

SECTION FOUR
OPERATION AND TESTING
WALK TESTING PROCEDURE
The sensor will rotate from left to right, and tilt forward or backward. Adjust the sensor to point in
the desired direction.
Set the two adjustment controls on the underside of the unit (diagram C) to the following
positions: TIME - Fully anti-clockwise
DUSK - Fully clockwise
The unit will now operate during daytime as well as at night, illuminating the lamp for approx. 5
seconds each time. This allows testing to be carried out to establish the best position for the
sensor.
Switch on the mains power. The lamp will immediately illuminate as the unit goes through its
"warm-up" period. After approximately 1 - 2 minutes the lamp will extinguish. Try to remain
outside the detection area during the warm-up period. Walk across the detection area approx 5
metres from the unit. As you cross a detection "zone" the lamp will illuminate. Now stand still until
the lamp extinguishes (this should take approx. 5 seconds).
Start moving again. As you cross each "zone" the lamp will illuminate.
Repeat the above, walking at various distances and angles to the unit. This will help you to
establish the detection pattern.
If the detection area is too small for your requirements, try angling the sensor head up. This will
increase the coverage distance. Angling the head downwards will reduce the range should a
smaller coverage area be required.
SETTING UP FOR AUTOMATIC OPERATION.
When walk tests are complete, the unit can be switched to automatic operation :
The TIME setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated following activation & after all
motion ceases. The minimum time (fully anti-clockwise) is approx. 5 seconds, whilst the
maximum time (fully clockwise) is approx. 5 minutes. Set the control to the desired setting.
The DUSK control determines the level of darkness required for the unit to start operating. The
setting is best achieved by the procedure below:
Set the DUSK control knob fully anti-clockwise. The unit will now start operating at dusk.
If you require the light to activate earlier, wait until the ambient light level reaches the level of
darkness at which you wish the lamp to become operative, SLOWLY rotate the control in a
clockwise direction until a point is reached where the lamp illuminates. Leave the control set at
this point.
Fix the mounting plate to the wall. Take care not to overtighten the screws to prevent damage to
the mounting plate. If using a power screwdriver, use the lowest torque setting.

At this position, the unit should become operative at approximately the same level of darkness
each evening. Observe the operation of the unit. If the unit is starting to operate too early (ie. when
it is quite light), adjust the control slightly anti-clockwise. If the unit starts to operate too late (ie.
dusk), adjust the control slightly clockwise.
Continue to adjust until the unit operates as desired.
MASKING THE SENSOR LENS
To reduce the sensor coverage, preventing detection in unwanted areas, mask the sensor lens
using electrician’s tape or similar (see diagram D). For your information, the top section of the lens
covers long range detection, the bottom covers short range. Similarly, the left and right lens
sections cover the left and right detection areas respectively.
If you experience problems refer to Troubleshooting Guide.
If problems still exist, do not immediately return the unit to store.

SECTION SIX
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
oLamp stays ON all the time at
night.
oPIR keeps activating for no
reason / at random.
oPIR sensor will not operate at
all.
oThe PIR sensor will not
operate at night.
oUnit activates during the
daytime.
oPIR coverage is
poor/sporadic.
o Detection range varies from
day to day.
o Lamps flashing on and off
SOLUTION
The unit may be suffering from false activation. Cover the
sensor lens completely with a thick cloth. This will prevent the
sensor from "seeing" anything. If the unit now switches off
after the set time duration and does not re-activate, this
indicates that the problem was caused by false activation. The
problem may be solved by slightly adjusting the direction
/angle of the sensor head (see previous section).
You may not be allowing the unit time to complete it's
warm-up period. Stand well out of the detection range and
wait (the warm-up period should never exceed 5 minutes).
Occasionally, winds may activate the sensor. Sometimes
passages between buildings etc. can cause a "wind tunnel"
effect. Ensure the unit is not positioned so as to allow
detection of cars/people using public thoroughfares adjacent
to your property.
Check that the power is switched ON at the circuit
breaker/internal wall switch.
Turn OFF the power to the unit and check the wiring
connections as per the diagram (see previous section 3).
Ensure no connections are loose.
Check the lamp. If the lamp has failed, replace. Ensure that
the lamp is seated correctly in the lampholder.
The level of ambient light in the area may be too bright to
allow operation at the current DUSK setting. During the hours
of darkness, adjust the DUSK control slowly clockwise until
the lamp illuminates. Refer to previous section for more
details.
The level of ambient light in the area may be too dark for the
current DUSK setting. During daylight, adjust the DUSK
control slightly anti-clockwise. When the lamp extinguishes,
enter the detection area. If the PIR still activates, the setting is
still too high. Repeat the above procedure until the PIR does
not activate when you enter the detection area. Refer to
previous section for more details.
Unit may be poorly located. See previous section - ‘Selecting
The Location’ and re-locate the unit.
PIR sensors are influenced by climatic conditions. The colder
the ambient temperature, the more effective the sensor will
be. You may need to make seasonal adjustments to the
sensor head position to ensure trouble-free operation all year
round.Avoid installing the unit too near (0.5 m) to the corner of
walls where reflection may occur resulting in the lamps
flashing. Re-adjust the lampholders upward slightly until
flashing stops.

LIGHT POLLUTION & CONSIDERATE LIGHTING
Please be aware of the annoyance over-lighting an area
can cause to your immediate neighbours.
Light pollution caused by incorrectly installing a unit or
over-lighting an area can be limited by carefully considering
the location and position of your unit before installation. The
light spread on all halogen floodlights can be reduced by
angling the floodlight downwards on the mounting bracket.
This will also concentrate the light on your property and
limit the potential inconvenience of the light shining into
your neighbours windows etc.
Please see Selecting a Location for information on
choosing the optimum location for your security light.
