SOLUTION

Cover PIR lens with a thick cloth. If the light turns out, check detection area for 
heat or reflective source. If the light stays on, check wiring. Check that the unit 
is not set to manual override.

Reset unit. Leave for a maximum of 5 minutes. If light activates, check area for 
false activation from heat or reflective source.

Check that the power is switched ON at the circuit breaker/ internal wall 
switch. Turn OFF the power to the unit and check the wiring connections.

Check the lamp. If the lamp has failed, replace. Ensure that the lamp is seated 
correctly in the lampholder. Note: Unit will not detect through glass.

The level of ambient light in the area may be too bright to allow operation at the 
current DUSK setting. At night, adjust the DUSK control slowly clockwise until 
the lamp illuminates. 

Adjust the setting anti-clockwise to lower the light level required for activation.

Unit may be poorly located. Check “Before you start” section for tips. PIR 
sensors are influenced by climatic conditions and are more effective in colder 
ambient temperatures. You may need to make seasonal adjustments to the 
sensor position to ensure trouble-free operation all year round.

PROBLEM

at night.

PIR keeps activating for no 
reason/at random

PIR sensor will not operate 
at all.

The PIR sensor will not
