InstallatIon
1 Remove the lock screw at the bottom of the LUX
assembly (if fitted) then push the lock tab and lift
the capsule out of the back housing. See Fig 1.
2 If using the Standard Swivel Bracket supplied,
screw the bracket’s base to the wall in your
chosen location then fit the back housing over
the bracket and secure it with the locking disc
and small screw provided. Do not fully tighten
the locking screw until you adjust the back
housing’s angle as required. See FIG 2. The
Standard Swivel Bracket is designed for wall
mounting only.
Installation is similar using the optional Deluxe
Swivel Bracket - with the added benefit of wall
or ceiling mounting. Take care to keep the upper
detection zones off the floor.
If mounting direct to the wall without a
bracket, first fit the blanking plug supplied to
seal the bracket mounting hole in the back
housing.
3 Prepare your Ness control panel or receiver to
receive a Learn signal from the LUX Radio PIR.
(Refer to the control panel or receiver’s manuals
for instructions on programming/learning radio
devices.)
4 Insert both batteries, observing correct polarity.
On power-up, LUX sends a Learn signal to the
control panel/receiver.
5 LUX will be in Walk-Test Mode for one hour
after power-up (ignoring the setting of the
Sleep switch) allowing you to walk-test detector
coverage and radio transmission.
6 Clip the LUX capsule into the back housing -
inserting the top clip first.
7 Wait approximately 30 seconds for the detector
to adjust to the environment.
8 Walk test the coverage by walking slowly
across the protected area. The blue alarm
LED indicates alarm detection and radio
transmission. During Walk-Test Mode the white
night-light LED will also turn on, unless disabled
by the LIGHT dipswitch.
Adjust the coverage as required by tilting the
detector horizontally or vertically on the swivel
bracket. If LUX is direct mounted without a
bracket, the installer’s choice of mounting
height and position will entirely determine the
coverage.
9 When you have finished walk testing, secure the
detector to the back housing using the locking
screw provided (small countersunk screw).
detectIon coverage
At the recommended mounting height of 2.1m
to 2.4m, LUX detector coverage is up to 15m
(HI range setting) or 12m (LOW range setting).
The vertical creep zone is disabled in this model.

walk-testIng
LUX will be in Test Mode for one hour after power-
up. During this time it will ignore the setting of the
SLEEP switch allowing you to walk-test detector
coverage and radio transmission.
In this mode, the white night-light LED will operate
even under bright ambient lighting - serving as a
highly visible walk-test LED (unless disabled by
the LIGHT dipswitch).
Note 1. The blue Alarm LED will always operate
in the first hour after power-up regardless of the
setting of the ALARM LED switch.
Note 2. LUX can also be walk-tested by switch-
ing the SLEEP switch to the 2sec position.
During Test Mode your pets may be allowed into
the room to walk-test the pet rejection. If the pets
are falsely detected, check that the detector is
not tilted downwards, ensure that RANGE is set
on LOW and if necessary change PULSE to 3-4.
