SIMX WARRANTY INFORMATION

SECTION ONE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The unit utilises passive infrared technology to detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.
Upon detection, the attached lighting load will illuminate for a user-determined time period.
An integral daylight sensor ensures night-only operation.
PARTS INCLUDED
- PIR Sensor unit.
- Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future reference.
- Accessory Pack.
TOOLS & PARTS NEEDED
- 3 core flexible cable
- Electric/hand-held drill & bits.
- Terminal or Electricians screwdriver
- Large slotted/philips screwdriver
- Wire cutters
This product is suitable for wall or ceiling mount.
Lighting loads connected must not exceed maximum 2000W tungsten halogen, 1000W Lighting
incandescent or 500W flurescent. If it is intended to use this product with compact fluorescent
energy saving lamps, we suggest the TIME setting is set to a minimum of 3 minutes.
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 TWO
SELECTING THE LOCATION
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.) including opposite any other light sources such as other
security lights.
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.
LIGHT POLLUTION
To reduce the risk of light pollution, consider the following when installing the any lights controlled
by this unit.
Position the light to ensure that the light emitted does not encroach onto neighbouring properties.
Angle the floodlight downward to focus the illumination onto the ground, not into the sky.
Consider using a lower wattage bulb to save energy and reduce high light output if not required.

SECTION THREE
INSTALLATION
After choosing a suitable location (see previous section) install the unit as follows:
The unit is suitable for connection to a 240 V ac 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.
This product is designed to be mounted on walls or under eaves, see diagram E. The sensor can
be rotated through 180 degrees to direct detection where required, decide on your location before
installation.
Remove the unit from its packaging.
Unscrew the wiring box fixing screw shown on diagram F. This screw is captive, do not fully
remove.
Detach the wiring box from the Sensor body.
Using the wall plate as a template, mark the position of the fitting holes.
Drill the holes. Insert the wall plugs into the holes.
PIERCE & PASS THE CABLE(S) THROUGH THE GROMMET(S) BEFORE PROCEEDING.
It is recommended that the grommet is pierced with a screwdriver to ensure a better seal.
Attach the mounting plate to the wall using screws provided. Do not overtighten the mounting
screws as this could damage the unit. If using a power screwdriver, use the lowest torque
setting.
This unit features an installation aid. Simply hang the Sensor onto the wall plate by use of the
clip arrangement on the wall plate. See diagram H. This allows you to use your hands to hold the
screwdriver, and install the incoming cables with ease.
Connect the incoming and outgoing cables as follows
*** 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.
