WAPIR Issue 1.0 2
Product Overview
The 3-wire wall or ceiling mounted passive infra-red occupancy switch (WAPIR) should be wall
mounted at a locaon where a neutral connecon is available. The WAPIR incorporates a passive
infra-red quad sensor to detect movement of a warm body within the detecon zone (diagram B
or C) and a photocell to monitor the ambient light level.
Upon detecng movement, if the ambient light is dark enough, the
WAPIR switch will turn the load on. The ambient threshold can be set
by the user to between approx. 30 lux and 1000 lux and maximum
(photocell inacve) at the PIR via the LUX adjuster (diagram A). If no
more movement is detected within a pre-selected me, then the
WAPIR switch will turn the load o. This me lag can be set via the
TIME adjuster to 10, 20, 40 seconds, 1 min 15 secs, 2 min 30 sec, 5m,
10m, 20m or 40 mins ( diagram A).
The WAPIR also incorporates a sensivity adjuster. Turn fully clockwise
for maximum range and sensivity of the occupancy detecon.
Several WAPIR units can be wired in parallel, using re-wired 2-way lighng wiring to allow
mulple PIR detectors (diagram E).
