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 sensor unit 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.
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.
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 fitting is double insulated and does not
require an earth (however there is an earth post
for earth continuity).
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.
INTRODUCTION:
The PIR (passive infra red) sensing device
continuously scans a preset operating zone and
immediately switches the load-light on when it
detects movement in that area.
This means that whenever movement is detected
within the range of the sensor the load-light will
switch on automatically to illuminate whatever
area you have selected to light. 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 has vibration.
Ideally the PIR sensor should be mounted 1.8 to
2.5 metres (6 to 8ft) above the area to be scanned
(refer to Fig.1 below).
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 12 metres at 110°) may vary
slightly depending on the mounting height and
location. The detection range of the unit may also
alter with temperature change.
INSTALLATION:
When installing the PIR sensor please refer to Fig. 4 below.
1. Switch off the mains before commencing installation.
2. Unscrew and remove the junction box cover.
3. Fix the unit to the mounting surface with the screw supplied, we recommend the unit should be
fixed a minimum distance of 2.5 metres above the ground, noting the mounting direction on the
plastic cover. (See Fig. 1 opposite).
4. Connect the power cable and load cable to the terminal block as show in Fig. 4 below.
NOTE:
3 core
6A/230VAC cable, not less than 1.5mm
2
diameter not included. The cable must pass through the
rubber grommet.
5. Close the cover and tighten the screw.
6. Restore mains power adjusting the PIR Sensor to desired working requirements.

Before selecting a place to install your PIR
sensor you should note that movement across
the scan area is more effective than movement
directly towards or away from the sensor
(refer to Fig.2 opposite). If movement is made
walking directly towards or away from the
sensor and not across the sensor apparent
detection range will be substantially reduced
(refer to Fig. 3 opposite).
