DAT0027 COPIR IP66  

30/08/19 (Issue 001)

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING THE PRODUCT

DANLERS COPIR IP66(BK) is IP66 rated and 

can be surface mounted onto an external wall. 

It incorporates a passive infra-red sensor to 

detect movement of a warm body within the 

detection zone (diagram 1) and it includes a 

photocell to monitor the ambient light level.
The detection range is about 10 metres over 

120 degrees, the range reduces to about 8m 

at the extremes to prevent nuisance switching. 
Product codes:

White enclosure (Grey front 

facet).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Please read these notes carefully before 

commencing work. In case of doubt please 

consult a qualifi ed electrician.

2. The detector should be sited so that it is not 

shaded from daylight

3. The detector should be mounted between 

1 and 2.2 metres high, via any of the four 

pre-drilled mounting holes only.

4. It must be mounted with the cable entering 

from below. 

5. Make sure the power is isolated from the 

circuit.

6. The detector should be connected as 

shown in diagram overleaf.

L - Live in,  N - Neutral in, 

SL - Switched Line out.

7.  IMPORTANT - Replace terminal cover.
8. Once the wiring has been completed and 

verifi ed, switch on the supply and test the 

operation.

START UP MODE

When the PIR is powered up, the PIR will 

switch on the lighting load for 1 minute then 

switch it off. After 2 seconds it will switch 

on again if it detects movement. With Time 

set to minimum the load will stay on for 10 

seconds so the detection range can be 

easily assessed. If a manual override-off 

switch after the PIR (diagrams 5 & 6, note 1) 

it will not enter the start-up mode each time.

LOADING: 

See overleaf

LUX AND TIME SET UP

On detecting movement, if the ambient light is 

dark enough, the COPIR IP66  (BK) will switch 

the load on. The ambient threshold can be set 

by the user to between approximately 10 and 

1000 lux via the internal LUX adjuster (diagrams 

2 and 3). The photocell can be disabled via the 

internal mode button (see overleaf).
If no more movement is detected within a 

pre-selected time, then the PIR switch will 

turn the load off. This time lag can be set via 

the TIME adjuster to 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 

40 seconds, 80 seconds, 2 minutes 30 

seconds, 5 minutes,10 minutes, 20 minutes 

or 40 minutes (diagram 4).

For convenience, ensure that the TIME is set to 

minimum when setting up the LUX level. Afterwards 

set the TIME to a value suitable for the application.
1. When powered up, (after 1 minute 

stabilisation time) turn lux pot (diagram 

C)  fully clockwise and time pot fully 

anticlockwise.

2. Press the MODE button (diagram 2) for 

approximately 0.5s. The LED will go green 

indicating the LUX cell is active. (Or press 

and hold button for approx. 4 seconds – LED 

goes RED indicating Lux cell INACTIVE). 

Repeating these steps will toggle the 

functionality.

3. If lux cell active, vacate area until PIR switch 

switches the load off (should be after 10 

seconds).

4. With the LUX as desired on working plane 

from daylight ONLY (no artifi cial light), wind 

the lux pot anticlockwise whilst waving your 

hand in front of the PIR cell. When the PIR 

switches the load ON, stop turning the pot. 

The Lux inhibit level is now set.

5. Turn the PIR time to the desired timeout 

(diagram 4). Whenever a person is detected, 

the time lag will start again and the load will 

stay switched on.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The PIR does not detect:

•  Check power supply.
•  Is there an obstruction in front of the lens?
•  Person is too far from the COPIR IP66 

switch, see detection diagram.

•  Person is moving unusually slowly (perhaps 

when testing).

•  To perform detection test - turn the time 

spindle to minimum setting (10 seconds), 

cover the lens to stop any detection - load 

should switch off in 10 seconds unless going 

through its START UP MODE (see opposite). 

The PIR stops working

•  Ensure the unit is mounted correctly so that 

no water can enter.

The PIR false triggers

•  Detector is exposed to air movement on 

breezy days.
