MRXBOX95-PIR

Passive InfraRed Low Voltage Sensor

Installation and Maintenance

IMPORTANT! Please refer to the installation 
instructions of the fan to check the compatibility of 
this sensor.

1.0 Introduction

Designed to be compatible with the Ecosmart system, 
this PIR unit is supplied with a pre-plugged, 10 metre 
length of communications cable. Note: longer lengths 
are available if required.

The sensor operates with low voltage with power 
supplied from the fan unit via the communications cable.

The PIR sensor will activate the system when movement 
is detected. An adjustable 1-60 minute timer is 
incorporated to provide a run on facility.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Installing the Sensor

The sensor unit should be installed away from any direct 
source of heat (e.g. radiators) and areas where it would 
be subjected to water spray. The Sensor is supplied 
complete with

10 metres of connecting cable with plugs attached. 
Sensors are also supplied with all fixings and are clipped 
into a back plate wall mounting bracket.

Fix one end of the 10m cable to the Ecosmart 
connection point.

Select a suitable location for the sensor and arrange 
the cable in position. Leave approx. 75mm of 
the cable free at the mounting point to ease the 
connection of the plug (Figure 1).

Carefully separate the sensor from the back plate 
using a small screwdriver (Figure 2). Note: the 
sensor will remain connected by its internal cable.

Release this cable from the bracket by simply 
pulling the plug off the socket pins in the back plate.

Before fixing the back plate to the wall, connect the 
wall fixed cable end plug to the upper set of pins on 
the bracket (Figure 3). 

Note: Ensure the colour code matches

 when 

fitting the plug onto the pins.  
Arrange the cable so it lies in the cable slot at the 
top of the back plate moulding and fix the bracket 
to the wall surface using the screws supplied.

The sensor plug can now be connected into the 
back plate Note: check the colour code matching 
when fitting the plug onto the pins.

2.2 Data Cable Installation

A 4-core data cable is used to connect 
devices.

Do not run data cable in the same 
conduit as the mains cables and ensure 
there is a 50mm separation between 
the data cable and other cables. The 
maximum cable run between any two 
devices is 300m when it is installed in 
accordance with the instructions.

Please note that the total data cable 
length used in any system must be less 
than 1000m. Keep the number of cable 
joints to a minimum to ensure the best 
data transmission efficiency between 
devices.

3.0 Operation

3.1 Adjusting Run On Timer  
(1-60 minutes)

Assuming the sensor(s) are installed, 
adjustment of the set points achieved 
by tilting the sensor forwards which 
exposes the adjustment aperture 
(Figure 5).

Using a small screwdriver, gently turn 
the dial either clockwise or anti-
clockwise to increase or decrease the 
set point. 

When adjustments are made to the 
sensor, the LED light on the sensor 
front will flash on and off to show 
the set point. First, green flashes will 
indicate the set point in TENS, followed 
by red flashes which indicate UNITS. 
For example one green flash and five 
red flashes show you that the PIR timer 
is set to fifteen minutes. 

3.2 Detection range

The detection range of this sensor is up 
to 10m directly in front of lens and up 
to 2m at 40° to the lens axis.

4.0 Maintenance

The unit does not require any 
maintenance. However, for optimum 
performance, it is advisable to remove 
any accumulated dust with a low 
power vacuum cleaner. 

NOTE: Installation and Maintenance 
of the equipment must be as 
directed in the instructions provided 
with the unit.
