Problem Reason Solution
Unit will
not operate
during
daylight.
Sensor not
in daylight
operation
mode.
Rotate lux control fully clockwise.
Sensor false
triggering.
Unit may be
suffering
from false
activation.
1. Cover sensor unit with a black cloth for
a period of 5 min to check that the light
does not trigger. Occasionally, winds and
drafts may activate the sensor. Sometimes
passages between buildings etc. can cause
a “wind tunnel’’ effect.
2. Ensure the unit is not positioned so as to
allow detection of cars/people using public
thoroughfares adjacent to the property.
Adjust the sensitivity control accordingly
to decrease range of sensor or adjust
direction of sensor head.
Sensor not
turning off.
Sensor
re-triggering
during
operation.
Stand well out of the detection range and
wait (the warm-up period should never
exceed 1 minute). Then check for any extra
sources of heat or movement within the
detection area such as animals, trees, light
globes etc. and adjust sensor head and
controls accordingly.
PIR will not
operate at
night.
Too much
ambient
light.
The level of ambient light in the area may
be too bright to allow operation. Adjust
lux level control accordingly and remove
any other sources of ambient light.
PIR sensor will
not operate
at all.
No power.
Check that the power is switched ON at
the circuit-breaker or internal wall switch.
Ensure that connections are not loose.
Unit activates
during the
daytime.
Low level of
ambient light
or lux level
control set
incorrectly.
The level of ambient light in the area may
be too dark to allow operation in night
time only mode. Re-adjust the lux control
accordingly.
