1. General Information
These instructions should be read carefully and retained for further
reference and maintenance.
2. Safety
• Before installation or maintenance, ensure the mains supply to
the PIR sensor is switched off and the circuit supply fuses
are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.
• It is recommended that a qualified electrician is consulted or used
for the installation of this PIR sensor and install in accordance
with the current IEE wiring and Building Regulations.
• Check that the total load on the circuit including when this
PIR sensor is fitted does not exceed the rating of the circuit cable,
fuse or circuit breaker.

4. Selecting a Location
• The motion detector has number of detection zones, at various vertical
and horizontal angles as shown (See diagram “A”).
• The best all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted
at the optimum height of 2.5 metres.
• Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum
performance (see diagram “A” & “B” 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 (i.e. pools of water or white painted walls)
may cause false activation under extreme conditions.

5. Installation & Connection
• Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses
are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.
• An isolating switch should be installed to enable the power to be
switched ON & OFF for maintenance purposes and to activate the
manual/auto override function.
• Remove the wiring cover from the sensor by depressing the catch
on the side and lifting it clear of the twin locators opposite the
catch (See diagram “G”).
• Mark the position of the 75mm diameter fixing hole centre taking care
to avoid ceiling joists and other obstructions within the 75mm diameter.
• Using a pad saw or suitable hole cutter cut out a 75mm diameter hole
• Pass the 230V 50Hz mains supply and load cables through the hole
and prepare for termination.
• Terminate the cables into the terminal block ensuring correct polarity
is observed and that all bare conductors are sleeved (See below details
on connection);

Diagram G
In the above illustration:
• 4 core cable may be used
• There is no external junction box
• A bridge is provided, pre-wired to
bridge across live supply from
AC mains to the output load
via the contacts.
In the above illustration:
• The L1 L2 terminals are used to
control a DC load or if the load
uses a different phase or voltage
supply from the AC mains in.
• Factory fitted bridge must be
removed to isolate L1 & L2
terminals from AC mains in.

6. Setting Up
• Turn the power to the unit ON. The lamp will immediately illuminate
as the unit goes through its “warm-up” period. After approximately
1 minute the lamp will extinguish. This indicates the unit is wired
correctly and the unit is in Test Mode.
• Try to remain outside the detection area during the warm-up period.
• The unit will now operate during daytime as well as at night, illuminating
the lamp for approx. 5 seconds each time. This allows testing to be
carried out to establish whether the sensor is covering the required area.
• Walk around the sensor to establish the detection area.
• The sensor will detect within an approximately 9 metre diameter circle
from the centre of the sensor location with a 3m ceiling. As you cross
a detection “zone” the lamp will illuminate.
• Now stand still until the lamp extinguishes (this should take
approx. 5 seconds). Start moving again after 2 seconds.
As you cross each “zone” the lamp will illuminate.
• Repeat the above, walking at various distances and angles to the unit.
This will help you to confirm the detection pattern.
7. Setting Up for Automatic Operation
• When the walk tests are complete, the unit can be adjusted for
automatic operation.
• The TIME setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated
following activation & after all motion ceases.
• The minimum time (fully anti-clockwise) is approx. 5 seconds, whilst the
maximum time (fully clockwise) is approx. 18 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;
1. Set the DUSK control knob fully anti clockwise.
2. 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.

7
3. Leave the control set at this point.
• At this position the unit should become operative at approximately the
same level of darkness
• 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.
8. Masking the Sensor Lens
• To reduce the sensor coverage, preventing detection in unwanted areas,
mask the sensor lens using the lens mask sticker supplied
(See diagram “C”).
• For your information, the centre section of the lens covers short range
detection, and the outer edge of the lens covers long range.
• Mask the sensor to suit your installation.
9. Manual Override Mode
The light can be switched ON for longer time periods by use of the Manual
Override Mode. This can be activated at night by using the isolation switch.
• Switch the isolation switch twice (OFF/ON, OFF/ON) within 2 seconds.
• The unit will now illuminate continuously until dawn or until it is
switched back into Detection Mode.
• To return to Detection Mode switch the isolation switch OFF and then
back ON again within 1 second.

10. Troubleshooting
Problem
• Lamp stays ON
all the time
night and day.
• The PIR keeps
activating for no
reason at random.
Solution
Cover the PIR lens with a thick cloth. If the light
turns OFF, check the detection area for heat or a
reflective source.
If the light stays ON, check the wiring (See
section 5. Installation and Connection).
Turn OFF at the isolation switch. Turn back ON
again after 30 seconds. Leave for approximately
15 minutes. If the light activates, check for false
activation from heat, wind or a reflective source.
Check that the power is switched ON at the
isolation switch. Turn OFF the power to the unit
and check the wiring connections.
Check the lamp (if it’s changeable).
If the lamp has failed, replace. Ensure the lamp
is seated correctly in the lamp-holder.
Note: the unit will not detect through glass.
(e.g. in a glazed porch).
The level of ambient light in the area may be
too bight to allow operation at the current
DUSK setting.
During the hours of darkness, adjust the
DUSK control slowly clockwise until
the lamp illuminates.
• PIR sensor will not
operate at all.
• PIR sensor will not
operate at night.

9
Adjust the DUSK control setting anti-clockwise
to lower the level of ambient light required
for activation.
The PIR may be poorly located
(See section 4. Selecting a location)
and re-locate the unit.
The PIR detectors 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 detector head position to ensure trouble-
free operation all year round.
• PIR activates during
the daytime.
• PIR coverage is
poor/sporadic
• Detection range
varies from day
to day.
