INSTALLATION:
When installing the PIR sensor please refer to Fig. 4
below.
01) Switch off the mains before commencing
installation.
02) Unscrew the bottom screw and remove back
plate.
03) Using back plate as a template to mark the
mounting surface.
04) Drill and plug the fixing holes.
05) Pass both the feed and load cables through the
rubber grommet in the back plate.
06) Fix the back plate to the mounting surface
with the screws supplied, noting the mounting
direction (indicator on plastic back plate)
.
07) Connect the main cable and load cable to the
terminal block (see Fig. 4 below)
(Cable for 6A/230VAC: 3 cores not less than
1.5mm
2
conducting cross-sectional area, not
included).
08) Refit the terminal block.
09) Fit the body to the back cover and secure using
screw.
10) Restore mains power.
11) Adjust the PIR sensor to desired working
requirements.

READ THIS FIRST:
Check the pack and make sure you have all of the
parts listed on the front of this booklet. If not,
contact the outlet where you bought this product.
This product must be installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with the current
building and IEE wiring regulations.
The installer must ensure that this fitting is suitable
for the purpose intended. Eterna Lighting Ltd cannot
accept any liability for loss, damage or premature
failure resulting from inappropriate use.
This unit is suitable for outdoor use.
This product is designed for permanent connection
to fixed wiring: this must be a suitable circuit
protected with the appropriate MCB or fuse.
This fitting is double insulated and does not require
an earth (however there is an earth post for earth
continuity).
INTRODUCTION:
The PIR (passive Infrared) sensing device
continuously scans a preset operating zone and
immediately switches the load-light on when it
detects movement in that area. While there is
movement within range of the unit the load light will
remain on.
WHERE TO FIT YOUR PIR SENSOR:
To achieve best results we suggest you take the
following points into consideration:
Do not mount on a surface that suffers vibration.
The PIR sensor should be mounted 2.5 to 3 metres
above the area to be scanned (refer to Fig. 1 below).
To avoid damage to the unit do not aim the sensor
eyeball towards the sun.
Avoid positioning the sensor unit adjacent to a
bright light source which may prevent the unit from
operating when the lux control is set to operate in
dark conditions.
Avoid nuisance false triggering by directing sensor
away from:
• Trees and shrubs
• Reflective surfaces such as smooth white walls
• Swimming pools and ponds
• Heat sources such as boiler flues
The PIR sensor detection range may vary slightly
depending on the mounting height, location and
temperature changes.
For optimal performance ensure your sensor is
installed where pedestrian traffic crosses the
detection zone (refer to Fig. 2 opposite). Note that
movement directly towards or away from the sensor
is less effective in triggering the sensor. (refer to Fig.
3 opposite).
