SECTION ONE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The unit utilises passive infrared technology to detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.
This transmitter must be used in conjunction with suitable receivers in the IQ Wirefree range.
Upon detection, the transmitter will send a signal to its intended receiver (bought separately) and
the receiver will react as programmed. An integral daylight sensor ensures night-only operation of
the floodlight.
PLEASE NOTE:- PLEASE SEE THE SEPERATE INSTRUCTION MANUALS FOR THE
RECEIVER PRODUCTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO PROGRAM AND ADJUST THAT
SPECIFIC RECEIVER.
THIS MANUAL COVERS THE INSTALLATION OF THIS SPECIFIC PIR TRANSMITTER ONLY
PARTS INCLUDED
- Luminaire c/w PIR Sensor unit.
- Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future reference.
- Accessory Pack.
- Tungsten halogen bulb
TOOLS & PARTS NEEDED
- Electric/hand-held drill & bits.
- Terminal or Electricians screwdriver
- Large slotted/philips screwdriver
- Wire cutters
The Floodlight transmitter 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.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified tradesperson or electrician.
SECTION TWO
FLOODLIGHT TRANSMITTER:-SELECTING THE LOCATION
For optimum performance, mount at 2.5m (8ft) high. The sensor can be pointed in any direction
as long as it is within 100m of the receivers it is to be used with. The sensor can detect motion
up to 12m within a 180 degree radius.
Avoid areas where pets or traffic may trigger the sensor. Avoid mounting where the
Sensor aims at objects that change temperature rapidly, such as central heating vents, air
conditioners or waving branches. Avoid reflective surfaces like conservatories or pools of
water.
Avoid any metal obstructions (support beams, chain link fences etc) that could block the
path of radio signal transmission between Sensor and Receiver
The sensor moves up or down, left or right to change the coverage area.
Keep in mind the sensor is most sensitive to movement across its field of vision.
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.).

SECTION THREE
FLOODLIGHT TRANSMITTER:- 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
3-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.
Unfasten the screw on the top of the floodlight. Install the halogen bulb, making sure not to touch
the bulb with bare hands. It is suggested that the bulb is handled using a dry cloth.
Ensure the bulb is correctly fitted in the lampholder before use.
Re-attach the floodlight front cover, do not overtighten the fixing screw.
This unit uses an integral wall fixing plate, detach the wall fixing plate by unscrewing the fixing
screw on underside of the wall plate (diagram E).
The floodlight is located onto the wall plate by a lug which is inserted into the rectangular recess
in the top of the wallplate. To remove, slide out the floodlight from the bottom edge (1) and lift
upwards (2), the lug will lift out of the recess and seperate from the wall plate. See diagram F
Mark the position of the fixing holes. Ensure wall plate is correctly positioned. (diagram G). Note
“TOP” engraving on inside of wall plate.
Drill the holes. Insert wallplugs into the holes.
PIERCE & PASS THE CABLE THROUGH THE GROMMET BEFORE SECURING WALL
PLATE TO WALL.
It is recommended that the grommet is pierced with a screwdriver to ensure a better seal.
Fix the wall plate to the wall (diagram G)
This unit is supplied with a hanging attachment (tether) to aid installation.
If it is not required, simply remove from the unit and discard.
Ensure the tether is securely fixed into the slot before releasing the weight of the unit.
The unit can now be suspended below the wall bracket. (Fig H)
*** 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
Connect the cable to the terminal block on the unit as follows (see connection diagram):
NEUTRAL (Blue) N
EARTH (Green/Yellow)
LIVE (Brown) L
Ensure that the connections are secure.
Fit the terminal block to the posts on the wall plate
Re-fit the floodlight to the wall plate by locating the lug onto into the recess on the top of the wall
bracket, carefully rotate the floodlight so it fits over the wall plate (reverse diagram F)
Fully tighten the fixing screw (fig E).

SECTION FOUR
FLOODLIGHT TRANSMITTER:- OPERATION AND TESTING
WALK TEST PROCEDURE
The sensor can rotate from left to right, and tilt forward or backward. Adjust the sensor to point in
the required direction. (note diagram B)
The unit can be set up in daylight or at night. For daylight set up, do not remove the sticker
covering the photocell (daylight) sensor.
Turn the power to the unit on. The lamp will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds. This
indicates the unit is wired correctly.
After approximately 30 seconds the light will turn off.
Slide the TIME on switch to point to TEST setting. The light will now illuminate for approx 5
seconds after each detection to allow you to determine the detection pattern.
The LEDs will scroll from left to right, and on detection the LEDs will turn off.
The diagram below also shows the required connections for the addition of slave luminaires.
When adding slaves, be sure not to exceed the maximum switchable load (see Technical
Specifications).
SF-PTV180-500-T.qxd 13/04/2005 13:51 Page 5

If the detection area is too small for your requirements, try angling the sensor head up.
Angling the head downwards will reduce the detection area should a smaller range be required.
The TIME setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated following activation and after all
motion ceases. It is controlled by the slide switch shown on Diagram C and can be set to 1, 5 or
12 minutes.
Adjust the sensitivity (SENS) control to increase/decrease the detection range as desired. Turn
CLOCKWISE to increase the sensitivity, ANTI-CLOCKWISE to decrease.
During Day time, the LEDs will scroll from left to right, indicating the unit is in Automatic Mode
and on detection of movement the LEDs will flash on and off quickly to indicate a signal has been
sent to the receiver.
During Night time, the LEDs will scroll from left to right indicating that the unit is in Automatic
Mode and on detection of movement the LEDs will turn OFF, and turn the Halogen lamp ON to
indicate a signal has been sent to the receiver.
MASKING THE SENSOR LENS
To restrict the sensor coverage, preventing detection in unwanted areas, mask the sensor lens
using the masking tape provided in the accessory pack (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.
MANUAL OVERRIDE MODE - SINGLE LED ILLUMINATED
The light can be switched on for longer time periods at night by use of the Manual Override
Mode. This can be activated at night by using the internal wall switch or circuit breaker.
Switch the internal wall switch/circuit breaker once (off/on) within 2 seconds. The unit will now
illuminate continuously until it is switched back into Automatic Mode.

Halogen Lamp Replacement
CAUTION
Always handle quartz halogen bulbs with a soft cloth. Do not touch the bulb with your bare hand,
as it will shorten the life of the bulb.
1. Switch off the floodlight. Do not touch the Floodlight while it is in use or still hot. Allow it to cool
(about 5 minutes) before touching it.
2. Replacement bulb type is 240V mains halogen 500W or 300W R7S cap floodlight bulb.
3. Isolate the mains supply and then unscrew cover screw on the top of the unit.
4. Open the glass cover. The cover is mounted on hinges and will swing open.
5. To remove existing bulb, depress then lift one end of the bulb to remove.
6. Install new bulb by inserting one end first and depressing gently until enough clearance is
gained to seat the other end in the socket. Rotate the bulb to ensure it is properly seated.

SECTION SIX
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
oLamp stays ON all the time at
night.
oPIR keeps activating for no
reason / at random.
oPIR sensor did not operate at
all.
oPIR coverage is poor/sporadic
o Detection range varies from
day to day
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 1½ 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.
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.

SAVE MONEY & HELP THE ENVIRONMENT
When the 500W lamp supplied with this product comes to
the end of its life, consider replacing it with a smaller
wattage lamp such as 300W. This could save you up to
40% in running costs, whilst also conserving precious nat-
ural resources.
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 choos-
ing the optimum location for your security light.
