1. General Information
These instructions should be read carefully and retained for
further reference and maintenance.
Timeguard reserve the right to alter these instructions
at any time. Up to date instructions will always be available
for download at www.timeguard.com
2. Safety
• Before installation or maintenance, ensure the mains supply
to the Wi-Fi PIR 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 Wi-Fi PIR and install in
accordance with the current IEE wiring and Building
Regulations.
• Check that the total load on the circuit including when this
Wi-Fi PIR is fitted does not exceed the rating of the circuit
cable, fuse or circuit breaker.
• To clean use a clean dry cloth only. Do not use liquid cleaners.

5. System Requirements
• Smartphone/Tablet with at least iOS 9.0 or Android 6.0.
Minimum software version requirements will be subject to
App updates from Tuya Inc. and not Timeguard.
• WLAN-enabled router: 2.4GHz (Separate Band)
• Tuya Smart App
6. Selecting a location
• The PIR has a number of detection zones at various
horizontal and vertical angles as shown below.
• A moving human body or object needs to cross one of
these zones to activate the sensor. The optimum height
for this is between 1.5m - 2m mouting height. Careful
positioning of the PIR is required to ensure the best
performance from the PIR and the appointed
approach path.

7. Installation
• Avoid positioning the PIR near any sources of heat in
and around the detection area such as extractor fans,
tumble dryers or boiler exhausts etc. This would also
include other light sources such as secuirty lights.
• Reflective surfaces (i.e. pools of water, white painted
walls, overhanging branches and other types of foliage)
may cause false activation under heightened weather
conditions.
• During extreme weather conditions the PIR may exhibit
unusual behaviour. Once normal weather resumes, the
PIR will carry out normal operations.
• 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 and OFF to the luminaire.
This allows the unit to be
easily switched OFF for
maintenance purposes.

5
• Remove the wall plate from the PIR sensor as
shown on the diagram.
• Using the wall plate as a template mark the
position of the fitting holes. Drill the holes.
Then, insert the rawl plugs into the
holes.
• Pass the supply cable through the cable
entry point on the wall plate, ensuring the grommet(s)
is used to maintain the IP rating of the PIR sensor.
• Fix the wall plate to the wall. Take care not to
over-tighten the screws to prevent damage to the wall
plate. If using a power screwdriver, use the lowest
torque setting.
• Terminate the cable into the terminal block ensuring
correct polarity is observed and that all bare conductors
are sleeved see section 8 ( Connection Diagram).

Important Note: Skip to Section 10, (Pairing Your Device)
if you wish to set the lux and timeout parameters via
the Tuya Smart app.
Note: See page 8 for PIR controls.
9. Commisioning and Operation
• Restore the power from the mains supply breaker or
isolating switch and test for the correct operation.
• Once the PIR’s pan and tilt angles have been set,
adjust the time dial (fully clockwise), to test mode.
This should bypass the photocell so the walk test can
commence at day or night periods.
• The PIR should now switch on the luminaire at anytime
where movement is detected. If the PIR fails to switch
ON set the lux dial to 2000 lux.
• Once the unit times out to the OFF position walk across
the detection area, when the PIR is triggered and the
load will turn ON briefly for a set amount of time.
• Once satisfied with the pickup area of the PIR twist the
lux dial in the anti-clockwise direction to trigger when
dusk is approaching, then set the time delay to your
preference. (Best performed in real time conditions).

Note: the mobile or tablet device must be connected to
a 2.4GHz band on the router. Pairing on the 5GHz band
will result in pairing timing out or being unsuccessful.
Refer to your ISP (Internet Service Provider) on
separating the bands if required.
• Ensure your phone or tablet is connected to your local
Wi-Fi network.
• Download the Tuya Smart App onto your phone or
tablet by searching for ’Tuya Smart’ on Google Play
or the App Store. You can also scan the QR code on
page 9 applicable to your device.

• Install the App and open it to the registration screen.
Click on the ’Register’ button.
• Tap ‘Agree’ to accept the privacy policy.
• Choose your region by selecting your
‘Country Code’. Enter your email address and phone
number and click ‘Get Verification Code’.
• Enter the verification code sent to the email address
or phone number that you provided. Once you have
successfully entered the code, the app will
automatically move you to the password screen.

10
• Assign a password (this must be between 6 to 20
characters including letters and digits) and click
‘Done’. The App home page will now appear.
11. Pairing Your Device(s)
Note: if you are using a VPN, make sure this is disabled
before continuing, and ensure that the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band
is enabled for this device, separate from the 5GHz band.
• Once you are on the home page of the Tuya Smart App
press the plus button ‘ ’ on the top right hand side of
the app.
• Under the ‘Add Manually’ menu, select the
‘Sensors’ catagory on the left hand side of the app.
Then select ‘Sensor (Wi-Fi)’ from the devices list.
• Enter the Wi-Fi password for the network your mobile
or tablet is curently connected to and then press the
‘next’ button.
• Press and hold the pairing (reset) button on the Wi-Fi
PIR for 5 seconds, the Wi-Fi connection indicator will
begin to flash rapidly.
• Select the ‘Confirm the indicator is blinking rapidly’
option on the App, then press the ‘next’ button to
begin the pairing process.
• Shortly into the pairing process, the flashing Wi-Fi light
will cease flashing and become stable. This indicates
that the device has joined the network.

11
• Once the pairing process is complete, you can rename
the device as required or press ‘Done’ to complete the
pairing process.
Note: if the pairing process was not successful, follow
the bullet points from ‘Section 11’ to try again ensuring
that the conditions for pairing have been met.
12. Smart Home Assistant
13. Offline Control
For Smart Home Assistant services such as Google Home
or Amazon Alexa, follow the on-board instructions on
the TuyaSmart App. This can be found under the ‘Me’
section on the home page of the App.
If the device was to lose its Wi-Fi connection to your
network, the device will continue to work under the last
configured setting applied. For example, if the PIR was
set via the app last before going offline, the time and lux
values will remain unchanged when offline unless the
the PIR settings have been adjusted outside of the app.
If the PIR was configured physically, it will run based on
these settings and reflect the changes on the app once
the PIR is back online.
Note: The Smart Home Assistant services supported by
the TuyaSmart App may change as it is a 3rd party App
Service. Any services that may be removed are the
responsibility of TuyaSmart developers and not
Timeguard.

Suspend Motion Sensor (6 Hours)
ON: When active the PIR will be suspended for
6 hours. The PIR will then revert to the previous
setting before this mode was active.
PIR suspention may be useful for extreme weather
conditions where false activation is common in PIRs.
This process should circumvent the need to cover
the PIR lens or power down the PIR manually.

Manual: PIR switches over from app control to the

Once an adjustment has been made in the app,
this will then become the primary method of
control for the PIR. If the dials are adjusted after at
any time, the settings will then sync with the app.
