INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
This product is suitable for use only with a supply voltage of 220-240V AC 50/60Hz.
All electrical work must be carried out in accordance with local and national electrical codes as
applicable. We strongly recommend that this product is installed by a registered electrician.
Always switch the power off prior to installation. A means of mains power isolation must be installed
on the circuit for the purpose of safe access for any internal cleaning, recalibration, or maintenance.
This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Any changes or modifications made or attempted to this product, without the prior written approval
of the manufacturer, will void any and all stated warranties.
Do not insert objects into the air outlets. Doing so may be hazardous and could result in electrical
shock. Do not obstruct the air inlets or outlets in anyway. Service hand dryer at regular intervals.
SETTINGS
Setting up the sensor (Fig. 2)
To enter calibration mode, turn the LUX control knob to light () position, turn the wall switch on and wait
30 seconds for the control circuit to stabilise. Ensure TIME control is set to minimum (-)
Have another person move across the desired perimeter of the area to be scanned and slowly adjust the
SENS knob until the unit activates. Note reducing SENS will reduce both normal and occupancy zones.
To set the light level at which the lights will automatically switch “on” at night, turn the LUX control knob
from daylight (
☼
) to night (☾). If the lights are required to switch on earlier (eg. Dusk, wait for desired light
level, and then slowly turn the LUX control knob towards daylight while someone walks across the center
of the area to be detected. When the lights activate, release the LUX control knob).
Once LUX and SENS are calibrated, set TIME to suit site requirements.
MANUAL OVERRIDE
The circuit can be switched on for an 8 hour period by using the Manual override. Ope ration in this mode
bypasses the PIR sensor. This can be activated at any time by using the internal wall switch or circuit
breaker.
Toggle the internal wall switch/circuit breaker twice (off/on/off/on) within 3 seconds. The circuit will now
be switched on continuously for 8 hours or until switched back to AUTO mode.
To switch the unit back to AUTO mode, toggle the internal wall switch/circuit breaker twice (off/on/off/on)
within 3 seconds (Same operation as activating Manual Override). The unit will return to AUTO mode
MANUFACTURERS EXTENDED WARRANTY
This product is guaranteed by SIMX Ltd and Ventair Pty Ltd for 3 years from the date of purchase against
faulty materials or workmanship which affects its designed ability to operate. During this period if the

ON CONDITION THAT:
• The buyer returns it to the seller from whom it was bought, freight paid.
• The product has been bought by the user (ie. a receipt/sales invoice is produced as proof of purchase).
• The product has not been misused or handled carelessly, installed in any way contrary to the
installation instructions, or installed in any unusually exposed or harsh environmental conditions.
This guarantee excludes liability for discolouration and/or delamination of paint or plastic, or any user
serviceable parts. It does not confer any rights other than those expressly set out above and does not
cover any claims for consequential loss or damage.
Our Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under either Australian, or New Zealand,
Consumer Law.

SETTINGS
Controls are located under the front cover as per (Fig. 2) The length of time attached lamps remain
switched on after activation can be adjusted from 10 seconds (± 5 seconds) to 40 minutes (± 5 minutes).
Rotating the TIME control to (+) or (-) will adjust the duration time accordingly.
Note: Once the light has been triggered by the PIR sensor any subsequent detection will restart the
timed period.
(Fig. 1) Shows the maximum distance which PIR Sensor can be triggered by motion. Adjusting the SENS
control from (+) to (-) will adjust the sensitivity and range of both occupancy zones.
The LUX control module has a built-in sensing device (photocell) that detects daylight and darkness.
The () position indicates it will work at day and night, and in the () position - only at night. Set dial to
operate at the desired level by adjusting the LUX control.
Wiring Diagram
INSTALLATION
We strongly recommend this light fitting is installed by a registered electrician
• Switch off the power supply before commencing any electrical work.
RECESS MOUNTING TO CEILING
• Unscrew the cable clamp, remove the junction box and terminal block. Discard the base piece for
recess mount applications – not required
• Connect circuit wiring to the terminal block as per Wiring Diagram. Refit the terminal block, junction box
and cable clamp. (Fig. 3)
• Fit springs, carefully lift the spring clips into the 82-88mm diameter hole, and recess the PIR to the
ceiling. (Fig. 4)
• The spring clips will secure the unit. Refit the front cover. (Fig. 5)
SURFACE MOUNT
• Remove the cover (twist). Unscrew the cable clamp, and remove the Junction Box and Terminal Block.
• Use the Base as a template to mark the screw holes into the ceiling. Pre-drill the lining to depth of
35mm and fit the plastic plugs, and then affix the Base securely. Care should be taken to avoid drilling
into any concealed wiring.
• Connect circuit wiring to the terminal block as labelled. (Fig. 6)
• Secure the Junction box & Terminal block to the PIR and tighten cable clamp over Mains Cable. (Fig. 7)
• Carefully align the male terminal pins, click the PIR body onto the Base then re-fit the front cover. (Fig.
BEFORE YOU START
Please read all the instructions prior to installation.
The PIR sensor offers presence detection up to 22m diameter for extra wide spacing. High sensitivity
occupancy zone detects smaller movement and the versatile dual mount unit allows for convenience in
both surface and recess applications. Do not exceed the max rated load listed in technical specifications.
To achieve best results, please consider the following points:
• This PIR sensor has a normal detection range in open space of max 22m diameter. As this detection
zone is circular, please ensure an adequate overlap in your layout to eliminate dead-zones.
• This PIR Sensor has a high sensitivity Occupancy Zone of 8m diameter. In this zone, the sensor will
detect small movement to activate lights or keep those lights illuminated.
