working LED
light sensor
This sensor is an active motion detector, it emits high-frequency
electro-magnetic waves, 5.8GHz and receives their echo.
The sensor detects the change in echo from even the slightest
movement in the light detection zone.
A microprocessor then triggers the “switch light ON” command.
Detection is possible through doors, panes of glass or thin walls
in most applications.
More reliable at distance than using IR or optical sensors, as
there are no gaps in the detection zone.
Model: LHT0182 Microwave Sensor
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
We strongly recommend that this sensor is installed by a suitably qualified and registered electrician.
Please read the entire Installation Manual and Calibration instructions before installing this product.
All electrical work must be carried out in accordance with local and national electrical codes as applicable.
Always switch power off prior to installation.

Reach setting (Sensitivity)
Reach is the term used to describe the diameter of the more or less
circular detection zone produced on the ground after mounting the
sensor at a height of 2.5m.
Turn the reach control fully anti-clockwise to select minimum reach
(approx. 2m dia), and fully clockwise to select maximum reach
(approx. 20m dia). Adjust according to location and site requirements.
Time setting
The light can be set to stay ON for any period of time between approx.
5sec (turn fully anticlockwise) and a maximum of 12min (turn fully
clockwise). Any movement detected before this time elapse will re-start
the timer. It is recommended to select the shortest time for adjusting
the detection zone and for performing the walk test.
NOTE:afterthelightswitchesOFF,ittakesapprox.1secbeforeitis
able to start detecting movement again. The light will only switch on in
response to movement once this period has elapsed.
Light-control setting
The chosen light response threshold can be adjusted from approx.
2-2000lux. Turn it fully anti-clockwise to select dusk- to-dawn
operation at about 2 lux.
Turn it fully clockwise to select continuous daylight operation .
The knob must be turned fully clockwise when adjusting the detection
zone and performing the walk test in daylight, then adjust setting
according to site requirement.
