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
• Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum
performance. The mounting height for the sensor should be 2.5m.
See diagram A.
• The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its field of vision than
to movement directly TOWARDS. 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 (extractor fans, tumble dryer exhausts etc.). See diagram B.
• Reflective surfaces (i.e. pools of water or white-painted walls)
may cause false activation under extreme conditions.

5. Installation
5.1 Ensure the mains supply is switched OFF
and the circuit supply fuses are removed
or the circuit breaker turned OFF (See image 1).
5.4 With both lugs pressed in, remove the font cover by pulling it away
from the PIR sensor (See image 3).
5.2 An isolating switch should be installed to enable the power to be switched
ON and OFF for maintenance purposes and to activate the manual/auto
override function.
5.3 Use a 2.5mm Allen key to unlock the captive latch located on the bottom
of the sensor, by turning it anti-clockwise (quarter turn) so the dot indicator
aligns with the ‘Unlock’ symbol, then pull downwards (See image 2, a).
Note: the captive latch cannot be removed.
Use a flat head screwdriver to press in the lugs on each side
of the PIR sensor to unfasten the front cover (See image 2, b).

5.6 Mark the position of the mounting holes on the wall using the back box
as a template (See image 5). Drill the holes ensuring not to infringe with any
gas/water pipes or electrical cables that may be hidden below the surface.
Insert the rawl plugs into the holes.
5.7 Pass the 230V 50Hz supply and load cables through the cable entry points
on the back box, ensuring the grommets are used to maintain the IP rating
of the PIR sensor (See image 6).
5.5 Undo the 4 fixing screws and remove
the PIR sensor from the back box
(See image 4).

5.8 Fix the back box to the wall using the 2x mounting screws, making sure
it is the correct way up. Take care not to over-tighten the screws to prevent
damage to the back box. If using a power screwdriver, use the lowest
torque setting (See image 7).
5.10 Position the PIR sensor over the back box, making sure the adjustments are
located on the bottom, and secure using the 4x fixing screws previously
removed in step 5.5. (See image 9).
5.9 Terminate the 230V 50Hz mains
supply and load cables into the
terminal block (as per image 8)
ensuring correct polarity is observed
and that all bare conductors are
sleeved (See section 6. Connection
Diagram – for wiring details).

7. Setting Up
Walk Test Procedure (Test Mode)
• Make sure the PIR sensor is set to Test Mode i.e. the TIME ON Adjustment
to the minimum (fully anti-clockwise), and the Lux Level set the Sun symbol
(fully clockwise).
• Turn the power to the unit ON.The lamp will immediately illuminate as the unit
goes through its ‘warm-up’ period. After approximately 30 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. 2 seconds each time.This allows testing to be carried out
to establish whether the sensor is covering the required area.
• Walk across the location the sensor is fitted, to establish the detection zone.
• The sensor will detect you approximately up to 12 metres forward at mounting
height of 2.5m.
• As you cross a detection ‘zone’ the lamp will illuminate. Now stand still
until the lamp extinguishes (this should take approx. 2 seconds).
• Start moving again after 5 seconds.
Each time you cross the detection
‘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 (See image 10).

Setting Up for Automatic Operation (Auto Mode)
• When walk tests are complete, the unit can be adjusted
for automatic operation.
• The TIME ON adjustment controls how long the unit remains
illuminated following activation and after all motion ceases.
• Use a thin flat blade screwdriver to make adjustments.
• This can be set between 2 seconds to a maximum of 30 minutes.
• Set the control to the desired setting between these limits.
• The LUX Level adjustment determines the level of darkness required for the unit
to start operating. The setting is best achieved by the procedure below;
1 Set the LUX Level adjustment knob fully clockwise (Sun symbol).
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 an
anti-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 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.
• Reposition the front cover
over the PIR sensor
(See image 11).

• Make sure the font cover clicks into
place. Lock the captive latch located
on the bottom of the sensor using a
2.5mm Allen key, by pushing up fully
and then turning clockwise (quarter
turn), so the dot indicator aligns with
the ‘Locked’ symbol (See image 12).
8. Manual Override
• The light can be switched ON for longer time periods by use of the
Manual Override Mode. This can be activated at night time (only) by using
the internal wall switch or circuit breaker. Switch the internal wall switch twice
(OFF/ON, OFF/ON) within 2 seconds.
• The unit will now illuminate continuously for 6 hours, or until it is switched
back into Auto Mode.
• To return to Auto Mode, switch the internal wall switch OFF and then
back ON again within 2 seconds.
• The unit will return to its Auto Mode and will operate normally as set up.

9. Lens Mask
• There is 1x lens mask included in the accessory pack.
• The purpose of the lens mask to mask out areas not desired for detection.

a smaller area.
• Use some pliers or a suitable tool to cut out the mask segment,
exposing the required area of detection.
• Position the lens mask over the sensor and click into place.
