Switch off the power supply before commencing any electrical work.
Unscrew the fixing cover screws and remove the cover.
Remove the cable anchorage and terminal block.
Use the back of the plastic housing to mark the position of screw holes onto mounting surface.
Drill the wall to depth of about 4 cm and fit the wall plugs (supplied).
Care should be taken to avoid drilling or screwing into concealed electrical wiring/plumbing.
Push the cable through the cable gland. Affix the back of the housing to the mounting surface with
mounting wall screws.
Connect the power cables to the terminal block securely (refer to Fig. 1). Re-fit the terminal block and
cable anchorage.
Reattach and screw securely the cover to the base. Ensure cables are not pinched in closing the unit.
Test circuit and setup PIR settings (see below).
The Simx LED EcoSpot should be wired to its own light switch. Do not interconnect with
other lights on the same switch. An Earth connection must be used for electrical safety.
To achieve best results, please consider the following points:
BEFORE YOU START
The length of time the Simx LED Eco Spot remains switched on after activation can be adjusted from
(10±5) seconds to (4±1) minutes. Rotating the TIME knob to (+) or (-) will adjust the duration time
accordingly.
Note:
Once the light has been triggered by the PIR sensor any subsequent detection will restart the
timed period.
The sensitivity means the maximum distance which PIR Sensor can be triggered by motion. Adjusting the
SENS knob from (+) to (-) will adjust the sensitivity.
The Lux control module has a built-in sensing device (photocell) that detects daylight and darkness.
The ( ) position indicates it will work at day and night, and in the ( ) position - only at night. Set dial to
operate at the desired level by adjusting the LUX knob.
Setting up the sensor
(refer to Fig. 2)
T
urn the Lux control knob to light ( ) position, turn the wall switch on and wait 30 seconds for the control
circuit to stabilize. Ensure that the TIME control is set at minimum.
Direct the sensor toward the desired area to be scanned by adjusting the elbow joint and swivel joint on the
sensor arm
Have someone move across the centre of the area to be scanned and slowly adjust the angle of the sensor
arm until the unit senses the movement and triggers as desired. Adjust SENS dial to alter distance.
Adjust the Time control to required setting.
If the lights are required to operate from dusk, wait for the desired light level, then slowly turn the LUX control
knob towards daylight while someone walks across the centre of the detection area. When the lights switch
on, release the LUX control knob. Set LUX control to suit your application.
Note:
All PIR sensors are more sensitive in cold and dry weather than warmer weather
You may need to make further adjustments to achieve your ideal light level setting. To avoid dust build-up and
ensure proper functioning of the Simx LED Eco Spot wipe the sensor lens lightly with a damp cloth every 3
months.
Before any aiming adjustments, switch Simx LED Eco Spot off and allow the hot lamp housings to cool.
When adjusting lamp housings, ensure they are not touching or in close proximity (not less than 40mm) to
sensor head, as heat from the lamp housing may impact operation of the PIR Sensor.

INSTALLATION
CALIBRATION
Simx LED Eco Spot should be mounted 1.8 to 2.5 meters (6 to 8ft) above the ground.
To avoid false triggering, the sensor should be directed away from heat sources such as barbecues.
Do not aim towards reflective surfaces such as smooth white walls, swimming pools, etc.
The Simx LED Eco Spot scanning specifications will vary 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 Simx LED Eco Spot, note that movement across the scan area
is more effective than movement directly toward or away from the sensor.
The drain hole on the sensor must be pointed to the downward position during installation in order to
meet the IP44 rating.
Please read all the instructions prior to installation.
