GENERAL INF RMATI N
The unit utilises passive infrared technology to detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.
Upon detection, the lamp will illuminate for a user-determined time period.
An integral daylight sensor ensures night-only operation.
PARTS INCLUDED
- Luminaire c/w PIR Sensor unit.
- Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future reference.
- Accessory Pack.
- 2 x230V E14 15W ES tyoe bulb (Prefitted)
T LS & PARTS NEEDED
- Electric/hand-held drill & bits.
- Terminal or Electricians screwdriver
- Large slotted/philips screwdriver
- Wire cutters
Unit 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.
SECTI N TW
SELECTING THE L CATI N
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.).
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.

PERATI N AND TESTING
WALK TEST PR CEDURE
The sensor will 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. The adjustment knobs are factory set. Lux is set to
the ‘ oon’ setting and Time is set to a minimum. If not, set as shown in diagram G.
Max - turn knob clockwise, min - turn knob anticlockwise
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.
The unit is now in Test ode.
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).
LHT0090&91 251012:newnlht009091.qxd 10/26/12 5:17 PM Page 6

TEST M DE - 3 LEDS PARTIALLY VISIBLE
The lamp will now illuminate for approximately 5 seconds every time movement is detected.
Walk across the detection area approximately 5 metres from the unit. Each time you are detected
the lamp will illuminate. Now stand still until the lamp extinguishes (this should take approx. 5
seconds)
Start moving again, when you are detected again the lamp will illuminate.
Repeat the above, walking at various angles and distances to the unit. This will help you to
establish the detection pattern.
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.
SETTING UP F R SENS R C NTR L M DE - 3 SCR LLING LED’S VISIBLE
When walk tests are complete, the unit will be switch into Sensor Control Mode.
Simply cease movement within the detection area for approximately 60 seconds, ensure the
lamp is not illuminated. The unit will then switch to Sensor Control Mode, this is indicated by
the illumination of three scrolling LEDS in the top transparent area of the sensor head. These
LED's will scroll from left to right during daylight and darkness.
The TI E setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated following activation and after all
motion ceases.
(See diagram G. the time adjustment knob is indicated by the "Clock" symbol).
The minimum time (fully anti-clockwise) is approx. 5 seconds, whilst the maximum time (fully
clockwise) is approx. 5 minutes. Set the control to the desired setting between these limits.
The DUSK control determines the level of darkness required for the unit to start operating. The
setting is best achieved by the procedure below:
(See diagram G. the Dusk adjustment knob is indicated by the " oon" and "Sun symbols).
Set the DUSK control knob fully anti clockwise. Wait until darkness falls.
When the ambient light level reaches the level of darkness at which you wish the lamp to
become operative (i.e.: at dusk) SLOWLY rotate the control in a clockwise direction until a point
is reached where the lamp illuminates. Leave the control set at this point.
At this position the unit should become operative at approximately the same level of darkness
each evening. Observe the operation of the unit. If the unit is starting to operate too early (i.e.:
when it is quite light) adjust the control slightly anti-clockwise. If the unit starts to operate too late
(i.e.: when it is very dark). Adjust the control slightly clockwise. Continue to adjust until the unit
operates as desired. The LED's will scroll from left to right, day and night; indicating the unit is in
Sensor Control Mode. The LED's will extinguish when the PIR activates the light for as long as
the lamp is illuminated.
MASKING THE SENS R LENS
To restrict the sensor coverage, preventing detection in unwanted areas, mask the sensor lens
using the masks provided in the accessory pack (see diagram H). 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.
SETTING UP F R MANUAL C NTR L - SINGLE LED ILLUMINATED
The light can be switched on for longer time periods by use of the Manual Control Mode. This
can be activated at night by using the internal wall switch or circuit breaker.
Switch the internal wall switch/circuit breaker twice (off/on, off/on) within 2 seconds. The unit will
now illuminate continuously until it is switched back into Sensor Control Mode or until the unit
automatically resets itself into Sensor Control Mode at dawn.
LHT0090&91 251012:newnlht009091.qxd 10/26/12 5:17 PM Page 7

Manual Control Mode is indicated by the permanent illumination of a single red LED in the top of
the sensor head.
To switch the unit back into Sensor Control Mode, flick the internal wall switch/circuit breaker
off/on once within 1 second. The unit will return to Sensor Control Mode. This is indicated by the
return of the left to right scrolling LED's as described in Sensor Control Mode above.
TIME C NTR L M DE - SINGLE LED FLASHING
The benefit of TIME C NTR L M DE is that the user can program the unit to automatically
illuminate for a certain time, (1 - 8 hours) each night. At dusk the unit will illuminate for this set
period after which it will extinguish. The unit will then continue to operate in Sensor Control Mode
when it senses movement until dawn. At dusk the following night the process will be repeated, the
unit will remain on for this set period (1 - 8 hours) then operate as a PIR unit until dawn.
TIME C NTR L M DE
Switch the internal wall switch/circuit breaker 3 times (off/on off/on off/on) within 3 seconds.
A single flashing red LED at the top of the sensor head indicates Time Control Mode. The
unit will now illuminate for a user defined time between 1 and 8 hours. The time can be set by
rotating the centre adjustment knob as required. (See diagram G, the adjustment knob is identified
by the letter T inside a circle.)
Do not adjust this setting if you do not wish to use the Time Control Mode facility.
This time adjustment is factory set to 1 hour.
Please note: Fully anticlockwise is 1 hour, fully clockwise is 8 hours.
After the defined period has elapsed, the unit will return to Sensor Control Mode and operate as
previously set up and the three scrolling LED's will illuminate from left to right.
Time Control Mode is differento to Manual Control Mode in that it will NOT reset to Sensor
Control Mode at dawn, it will repeat each night until reset by the user. To cancel Time Control
Mode, switch the internal wall switch/circuit breaker once (off/on) within one second. The unit will
turn to Sensor Control Mode indicated by the scrolling LEDs.

reason / at random.
S LUTI N
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).
Check LED status:-
If a single LED is constantly visible, the unit is in Time Control
ode and will illuminate until dawn or until reset to Sensor
Control ode.
To reset to Sensor Control ode, switch the internal
switch/circuit breaker off/on within one second.
Sensor Control ode is indicated by scrolling LEDs from Left
to right.
If a single flashing LED is visible, Time Control ode has
been selected. Switch the internal wall switch/circuit breaker
off/on with one second and the unit will return to Sensor
Control ode. The light will illuminate only when motion is
detected.
Sensor Control ode is indicated by scrolling LEDs from Left
to right.
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.
In the event of the cover glass shattering, do not replace with normal household glass.
Contact the Simx helpline for replacement details.
If you experience problems refer to Troubleshooting Guide.
If problems still exist, do not immediately return the unit to store.

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.
The level of ambient light in the area may be too bright to
allow operation at the current DUSK setting. During the hours
of darkness, adjust the DUSK control slowly clockwise until
the lamp illuminates. Refer to previous section for more
details.
The level of ambient light in the area may be too dark for the
current DUSK setting. During daylight, adjust the DUSK
control slightly anti-clockwise. When the lamp load
extinguishes, enter the detection area. If the PIR still
activates, the setting is still too high. Repeat the above
procedure until the PIR does not activate when you enter the
detection area. Refer to previous section for more details.
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.
