Manual

Principle

Movement triggers lights, alarms and many other devices - for your convenience and safety. The integrated

pyroelectric infrared detector senses the invisible heat radiated from moving objects (people, animals, etc.).

The heat detected in this way is converted electronically into a signal that activates the load connected. Heat

radiation is not detected through obstacles, such as walls or glass, and will therefore not activate the light.

Safety warnings

■ During installation, the electrical wiring being connected must be dead. Therefore, switch off the power first

and use a voltage tester to check that the power supply is disconnected.

■ Installing this unit involves work on the mains voltage supply. This must therefore be carried out

in accordance with applicable national wiring regulations and electrical operating conditions.

(

- VDE 0100,

-ÖVE-ÖNORM E8001-1,



-SEV 1000)

■ Only use genuine replacement parts.

■ Do not dismantle the unit yourself. It must only be repaired by a specialist workshop.

Installation

 – 

L = live conductor (usually black or brown)



Connection with concealed wiring

N = neutral conductor (usually blue)



Connection with exposed wiring

PE = any protective earth conductor (green/yellow)

Attention: Loop the protective-earth conductor through if necessary. A mains power switch for turning the unit

ON and OFF may of course be installed in the mains supply lead. Important: Reversing the connections may

result in damage to the unit. Please note that the circuit must be protected by a 10 A circuit breaker.

Optimum mounting height: 2 m for wall mounting

Function



Twilight setting (factory setting: daylight operation at 2000 lux):

The sensor's response threshold can be infinitely varied from 2 – 2000 lux.

Control dial set to = daylight operation at approx. 2000 lux.

Control dial set to = night-time operation at approx. 2 lux.

To adjust the detection zone in daylight, the control dial must be set to (daylight operation).

Time setting (factory setting: 8 sec.): Light 'ON' time can be set from 8 secs. to 35 mins.

Control dial set to – = shortest time (8 sec.)

Control dial set to + = longest time (35 min.)

When setting the detection zone, we recommend selecting the shortest time.



Reach can be adjusted to between 2 and 14 m by tilting the lens through 90°.



Swivelling for align-

ment on the wall.



Reach 1 – 14 m. Max. setting permits detection along the building wall



Using

adhesive shrouds, e.g. to mask out paths or neighbouring property. Important: The most reliable way of detect-

ing movement is to install the sensor so that it points across the direction in which a person would walk and by

ensuring that no obstacles (such as trees, walls etc.) obstruct the line of vision. Reach is restricted when you

walk straight towards the sensor.

Troubleshooting (Fault / Cause ➩

Bulb faulty ➩

change bulb /

Power switch OFF ➩

switch on /

Detection zone not properly targeted ➩

readjust.

Will not switch OFF / Permanent movement in the detection zone ➩

adjust detection zone

. Keeps switching

ON/OFF / There is a light in the detection zone ➩

. Switches ON

when unwanted / Detecting cars on the road, for example ➩

change detection zone, tilt sensor down.

Reach changing / Differing ambient temperatures ➩

at low temperatures, shorten reach by tilting sensor

down; at high temperatures, tilt sensor up.
