Installation procedure

1. Please read these notes carefully before commencing work. 

In case of doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

2.  POSITIONING: The CESRA PIR 10VDC should be installed to achieve correct 

coverage of the area, see diagram A. Avoid locating this product where it is 

exposed to drafty conditions (exposed lobbies, open ceiling voids or near 

fans) or near heat sources. 

3. Make sure the power is isolated from the circuit.  

The PIR should be connected as shown in diagram D:

4. Knockout or drill the appropriate holes on the mounting plate for attaching 

the plate to the ceiling or back box (if applicable). Feed cables through 

the appropriate (side or rear) entry hole (see diagram E). Screw the back 

mounting plate to the ceiling or back box via the mounting holes. Wire the 

cables into the sensor head block terminal. Push the sensor head onto the 

mounting plate and align the side clips with the slots on the sensor heads.

 

Start-up mode

When the PIR is powered up, it will switch on the load for 1 minute, the load 

will then switch off and the PIR will enter its Operating Mode.

Time / Run-on / Lux set up

The LUX adjuster spindle on the side of the PIR is used to regulate the automatic 

daylight linked dimming function lux level (see diagram C opposite). This should 

be adjusted in situ  by rotating the LUX adjuster slowly anticlockwise (+ to -) 

so that the desired level of brightness is achieved under the luminarie(s) being 

controlled. 
Once the correct level is achieved and there has been no further adjustment to 

the LUX spindle, CESRA PIR 10VDC will go through a 30 second delay before 

the automatic closed loop control will start.
CESRA PIR 10VDC incorporates a fixed 90 second fade rate from maximum  

to the set back level.

Sensitivity

CESRA PIR 10VDC incorporates a sensitivity adjuster, labelled ‘SENS’, to  

reduce the range  of detection from 100% to 50% in 9 steps (see diagram 

B opposite).
