Installation Steps
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU FOLLOW 
CLOSELY STEPS 1 TO 7 OF THE MOUNTING 
AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
BELOW. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL 
INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

Step 1 

Please ensure that you position the PIR in 
the correct place by reading the Positioning 
section of these instructions. For flush 
mounting cut a clean hole measuring 
64mm in diameter in the chosen area for 
the sensor. Seal any large holes on ceiling 
to prevent air current activation.

Step 2

Ensure that the mains power to the circuit 
is switched off. Ensure terminal cover 
and cable clamp are correctly fitted with 
screws supplied. Place the Live In into the 
Terminal marked Live In and the switched 
Live Out into the Live Out terminal.  
Place the neutral into the connection 
marked N for neutral. Please note that it is 
essential that the Live In wire and the 
switch Live Out and Neutral are identified 
prior to commencing installation. 
To connect multiple units connect the live 
switch live and neutrals as shown in 
Diagram 2. Turn off mains supply for 
installation as live working is not 
recommended and can damage the unit.

Step 3

For flush mounting fold the two arms up 
into the vertical position and insert unit 
into the hole. Release unit ensuring arms 
are securely in place.

Step 4

Remove the fascia by turning anti-clockwise 
to show the lux pot, time delay pot switches. 
Please adjust the Lux Level and time delay 
potentiometer gently without force as this is 
a sensitive electronic part. After adjustment 
please wait 30 seconds for changes to take 
effect. It is recommend product is set up 
initially on the minimum 30 second time 
setting to enable an efficient walk test to 
check PIR area coverage.

Step 5

To manually set the desired Lux level adjust 
potentiometer between (+) and (–). This allows 
the PIR to only switch ON ambient light 
levels is below the set level. Adjustment to 
the plus (+) will allow the PIR to always 
switch ON when triggered. A minus - setting 
will effectively switch PIR OFF completely.

Step 6

To increase the time delay turn the 
potentiometer toward the High (H) and
to decrease the time delay turn the 
potentiometer toward the Low (L).

Step 7

The PIR will take approximately 1 minute
to initialize and will flash occasionally after 
the mains power is first applied to allow 
the sensor to learn its environment. 
The load will be ON and after initializing 
will then switch off if there is no
detection in the zones.
