WARNING

Danger of death through electric shock or 
fire.

Installation tips

Must be installed by a fully-qualified 
electrician.

The device conforms with EN 60669-2-1 subject to designated 
installation

3. Installation and connection

Detection area

Detection area: recommended installation height 2.5 m to 3.5 m 
At a height of 2.5 m, the detection area is up to Ø 24 m 
and up to Ø 26 m at a height of 3.5 m.

Avoid the following situations:

Connection

reacts more sensitively to

movements across the

detection area

reacts less sensitively to 

movements directly at the 

presence detector

Do not direct the presence detector at objects with very  
reflective surfaces (mirrors, monitors etc.)
Do not install the presence detector near heat sources 
(heating outlets, air-conditioning systems, lamps etc.)
Do not direct the presence detector at objects that
move in the wind (curtains, large plants etc.)
Take account of direction of motion when carrying out test. At an 
installation height of 3.5 m the detection area across the 
presence detector is Ø 26 m and Ø 8 m to the front of the detector.

Must be installed by qualified electrician!
Disconnect power source.
Cover or shield any adjacent live  
components.
Ensure device cannot be switched on.
Check power supply is disconnected.

Disconnect the device from the mains when working on the 1–10 V 
interface. During installation, treat the interface like a 230 V 
power line.

The 1–10 V interface is not disconnected from the mains (no SELV). 

Protect device with a series-connected automatic cut-out 
type B or C (EN 60898-1) of max. 6 A.

Normal operation

Automatic mode

Semi-automatic mode

Only insert one cable (1.0–2.5 mm

2

) in each opening of the screwless 

terminal strip.

Only use solid copper cables. 

1. The channels switch on automatically with movement in automatic 
    mode.  For channel 1, the ambient light level must also be below the 
    set Lux value. If no motion is detected and the delay time has elapsed, 
    the channels switch off automatically.
2. Depending on the changing ambient brightness, the presence
    detector automatically adjusts the switching On/Off delay time 
    to avoid the channels switching On and Off unnecessarily.
    – Ambient brightness from light to dark: 10 s delay time
    – Ambient brightness from dark to light: 5 min delay time: 
       If the set period of time is <5 min , the channels switch off 
       in accordance with the set period of time.
3. If the level of ambient light exceeds the set lux value 
    the lighting switches off automatically within 5 min 
    (preset switch-on time >5 min). If the switch-on time 
    < 5 min, the delay time is based on the preset value.

1. In semi-automatic mode, the channels can only be switched on by  
    pressing an external push button connected to the terminals ext. 1  
    or ext. 2.
2. If the channels are switched on manually, they switch off
    automatically once the last movement has been detected and the 
    preset time delay has elapsed or switched off by pressing the 
    external push button.

Installation 

SPHINX 104-360/2 DIMplus can be installed in a standard flush-mounted
socket.

Remove housing.
Remove the head of the detector from the power unit by loosening 
both screws in the detector head.

Strip back the core insulation by 6–8 mm (see figure).

Press the terminals together to insert the electric cable in the
terminal connections.
