Precautions and Warranty
Wall or ceiling mounted PIR occupancy switch
WACEPIR
DANLERS 3-wire wall or ceiling mounted passive infra-red occupancy
switch (WACEPIR) should be wall mounted at a location where a
neutral connection is available.
The WACEPIR incorporates a passive infra-red quad sensor to detect
movement of a warm body within the detection zone (diagram B or C)
and a photocell to monitor the ambient light level.
Upon detecting movement, if the ambient light is dark enough, the
WACEPIR switch will turn the load on. The ambient threshold can
be set by the user to between approximately 30 lux and 1000 lux
and maximum (photocell inactive) at the PIR via the LUX adjuster
(diagram A).
If no more movement is detected within a pre-selected time, then
the WACEPIR 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 A).
The WACEPIR also incorporates a sensitivity adjuster. Turn fully
clockwise for maximum range and sensitivity of the person detector.
Several WACEPIR units can be wired in parallel (diagram E).
Loading limits
The switch should only be connected to a 230V 50Hz AC supply.
These PIR switches can switch up to:
6 amps (1500W) of resistive loads.
6 amps (1500W) of fluorescent loads.
3 amps (750W) of electronic and wire wound transformer loads.
2 amps (500W) of CFL, 2D lamps, LED Drivers and LED lamps
and fittings.
1 amp (250W) of fans
Minimum load 2W resistive, suitable for most energy saving lamps,
LEDs and emergency fittings.

Lux and Time set-up
For convenience, ensure that the TIME is set to the minimum when
setting up the LUX level. Afterwards set the TIME and SENS to values
suitable for the application.
The LUX is best set up when the local ambient light is close to the
minimum desired light level. With the LUX set fully clockwise wait for the
WACE PIR to switch off. Rotate the LUX adjuster slowly anticlockwise
(- to +), whilst waving your hand approximately 1m in front of the
WACEPIR, until the load switches on.
The load will not switch on:
• The LUX adjuster is set too low and is inhibiting the switch.
• The moving body is not emitting more IR than the background.
(Person wearing insulating clothing in a warm environment)
• Person is too far from the PIR switch, see detection diagram.
• Person is moving unusually slowly (perhaps when testing).
The load switches on when nobody is present:
• Heater causing infra-red variations in a small cold room.
Reduce the sensitivity adjuster or re-site the WACEPIR.
• Please contact DANLERS for further technical support.
