INTRODUCTION:
The floodlight incorporates a PIR (Passive Infra Red)
sensing device which continuously scans a preset
operating zone and immediately switches the light
on when it detects movement in that area.
This means that whenever movement is detected
within the range of the sensor the light will switch
on automatically to illuminate the area you have
selected to light. While there is movement within
range of the unit the light will remain on.
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 competent
person in accordance with the current building and
IEE wiring regulations.
As the buyer, installer and/or user of this product it
is your own responsibility to ensure that this fitting
is fit for the purpose for which you have intended
it. Eterna Lighting cannot accept any liability for
loss, damage or premature failure resulting from
inappropriate use.
This product is designed and constructed according
to the principles of the appropriate British Standard.
Switch off the mains before commencing installation
and remove the appropriate circuit fuse or lock off
MCB.
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).
Before making fixing hole(s), check that there are no
obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface
such as pipes or cables.
Make sure that the fixings are strong enough to
support the considerable weight of the fitting and
hold it rigidly.
The lamp must be positioned so that there is at
least 1M between the luminaire and any illuminated
surface.
When making connections ensure that the terminals
are tightened securely and that no
strands of wire protrude. Check that the terminals are
tightened onto the bared conductors and not onto
any insulation.
This product must be connected to Earth
termination.
This product is not intended to be used by children
and persons with sensory, physical and/or mental
impairments that would prevent them from using it
safely.
You are advised at every stage of your installation to
double-check any electrical connections you have
made. After you have completed your installation
there are electrical tests that should be carried out,
these tests are specified in the current IEE wiring and
building regulations.
SPECIFICATIONS:
• 10W-30W detection range: max. 9m at approx. 120°
scan.
• 50W detection range: 4-8m (adjustable) at approx.
120° scan.
• Duration time adjustment: (10±3) seconds to (10±3)
minutes.
• Lux adjustment: 5-2000lux.
WHERE TO FIT YOUR PIR FLOODLIGHT:
To achieve best results we suggest you take the
following points into consideration:
Do not mount on a surface that has vibration.
Ideally the PIR floodlight should be mounted 2.5
metres to 3 metres above the area to be scanned
(refer to fig.1 (10-30W) and fig.2 (50W) opposite).
To avoid damage to the unit do not aim sensor
towards 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
• Heat sources such as boiler flues
The PIR sensor scanning specifications
(approximately 8 metres at 120°) may vary slightly
depending on the mounting height and location.
The detection range of the unit may also alter with
temperature change. Before selecting a place to
install your PIR floodlight you should note that
movement across the scan area is more effective
than movement directly towards or away from the
sensor. (Refer to fig.3 opposite).
If movement is made walking directly towards or
away from the sensor and not across the sensor
the apparent detection range will be substantially
reduced (refer to fig. 4 opposite).
