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 employed
for the installation of this PIR sensor and that it is installed in accordance
with 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.
• Secure device with 10A rated air breaker.

• Multiple PIR Sensor Switching: A maximum of 8 SLFM360N PIR sensors
can be wired in parallel, to enable any
detector to turn ON all the lights connected.
The total load must not exceed the lamp
rating of a single SLFM360N unit.
4. Selecting a Location
•The motion detector has a 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 3 metres.
•Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum
performance (see diagrams “A” & “B” detailing detection range
and direction).
•The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its field of vision
than to movement directly TOWARDS IT (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 (fans, radiators, heaters etc.) including opposite
any other light sources.
• Reflective surfaces (i.e. white-painted walls, windows) may cause
false activation.

5. Installation
•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.
•Remove both cable clamps from the sensor body by undoing the 4 cable
clamp screws.
• 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 section 6.
Connection Diagram).

• The adjustment knobs located beneath the sensor head are factory-set
to “Test Mode”. Double check they are set as follows;
• Replace both cable clamps previously removed,
using the 4 cable clamp screws, to secure the
mains supply and load cables to the sensor.
Do not overtighten the screws.
• Reposition the wiring cover
onto the sensor and click
into place.

5
• Push back the locating springs and feed the unit into the ceiling void
via the 75mm hole. The locating springs will now fold back and hold
the SLFM360N in place.
6. Connection Diagram
• Connect the cables as follows;
Switched Load (Light Source) Out
Switch Live (Brown or Red) to L1
Neutral Load (Blue or Black) to N
230V 50Hz Mains Supply
Live Supply (Brown or Red) to L
Neutral Supply (Blue or Black) to N
A ‘Loop Terminal’ is provided should a 3 core
cable be used which is marked

7. Setting Up
Walk Test (Test Mode)
• Turn the power to the unit ON.The lamp will immediately illuminate
as the unit goes through its “warm-up” period. After approximately
45 seconds 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. 3 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 approximate 8 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.
3 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.

8. Setting Up for Automatic Operation
(Auto Mode)
•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 and after all motion ceases.
•The minimum time (fully anticlockwise) is approx. 3 seconds, whilst
the maximum time (fully clockwise) is approx. 18 minutes. Set the control
to the desired setting between these limits.
• The Lux-Dusk/Dawn Setting determines the level of darkness required
for the unit to start operating. The setting is best achieved through
the procedure below;
1. Set the Lux-Dusk/Dawn Setting control knob fully anticlockwise.
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.
3. Leave the control set at this point.
• At this position the unit should become operational 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 anticlockwise.
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.
9. Manual Override Mode
The light can be switched ON for longer time periods through use of the Manual
Override Mode. This can be activated at night by using the isolation switch.
• Activate the isolation switch once (OFF/ON) within 1.5 seconds.
• The unit will now illuminate continuously for 6 hours or until it is
switched back to Auto Mode.
• To return to Auto Mode turn the isolation switch OFF and then back ON
again within 1.5 seconds.

10. Troubleshooting
Problem
•The Lamp stays ON
all the time at night.
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).
• The PIR keeps
activating for no
reason at random.
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.
• PIR sensor will not
operate at all.
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).
• PIR sensor will not
operate at night.
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.
• PIR activates during
the daytime.
Adjust the DUSK control setting anti-clockwise
to lower the level of ambient light required
for activation.

• PIR coverage is
poor/sporadic
The PIR may be poorly located. See section 4.
Selecting a location and relocate the unit.
• The detection range
varies from day
to day.
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.
