Wiring examples
1. Fixture without neutral conductor
2. Fixture with neutral conductor
3. Connection via series switch for
manual and automatic operation
4. Connection to double-throw switch
for permanent light and automatic
operation
Setting I: automatic operation
Setting II: manual operation for permanent
light
Note: the unit cannot be switched off,
only optional operation between settings I
and II.
1)
e.g. 1-4 x 100 W filament bulbs
2)
Consumer, lighting max. 1000 W (refer to Technical specifications)
3)
Sensor connection terminals
4)
Indoor standard switch
5)
Indoor series switch, manual, automatic
6)
Indoor double-throw switch, automatic, permanent light
Operation/Maintenance
The motion sensor is suit-
able for automatic switching
of lights. The unit is not
suitable for special burglary
alarm systems, since it
lacks the sabotage protec-
tion prescribed for this
purpose. Weather can affect
operation of the sensor.
Strong gusts of wind, snow,
rain and hail can cause
switching errors, since the
sudden temperature fluctua-
tions cannot be distiguished
from heat sources.
The detection lens can be
cleaned with a damp cloth
(without detergents) if dirty.
