The PIR sensor scanning specifications
(approximately 12 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 bulkhead 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).
If movement is made walking directly towards or
away from the sensor and not across the apparent
detection range will be substantially reduced (refer
to Fig. 3).
iNtroductioN:
The bulkhead light 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.

and persons with sensory, physical and/or mental
impairments that would prevent them from using it
safely.
imPortaNt:
Always switch off the mains power
before changing the lamp.
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.
wHere to fit your Pir BuLKHead:
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 bulkhead light 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 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
Heat sources such as boiler flues
