Eterna PIR80BK Installation Instructions Download Page 2

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.

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 

0.5m (500mm) between the bulb and any illuminated 

surface.

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
