Individual switching

In individual switching, the presence detector as master 

detects presence and brightness and controls lighting.

L’

Parallel switching / Master-Slave

If the detection area covered by a single presence detector 

is insufficient (in larger rooms),  then several detectors can 

be operated in parallel by connecting the S and L‘ terminals. 

Presence detection is performed by all detectors together. The 

master measures the brightness and controls the lighting. The 

other detectors (slaves) only provide presence information via 

the L‘ terminal.

¾

†

At the slave devices set the potentiometer for time delay 
(TIME) to 30 s and for switching value (LUX) to   or deac-

tive the brightness measurement with remote control, press 
button   .

 

L

If the operating voltage remains at the S terminal < 1 sec., 
the master interprets this as a key signal. Operating vol-
tage > 2 sec. is interpreted as a slave signal and executed 
correspondingly. For this reason the light does not switch 
on until 2 sec. after a movement has been detected by the 
slave device.

Push button control

The lighting can be manually switched on/off via a button. If 

the light is switched on manually, it will remain on as long as 

people are present (plus time delay). Then the light goes into 

the set automatic mode. If the light is switched off manually, 

it will remain off as long as people are present (plus time 

delay). Then the light goes back to automatic mode.

Fully or semi-automatic device
Lighting control via the presence detector operates fully 

automatically for increased comfort or semi-automatically 

for greater energy savings. The lighting switches on and off 

automatically as „fully automatic device“. In „Semi automatic“ 

mode, it must be switched on manually and switches off 

automatically. Settings are entered via remote control.

Switching behaviour
Every time the power supply is switched on, the presence 

detector runs through two phases that are shown on an LED 

and the connected lighting: 

1. Warm-up phase (1 min)

 

The red LED flashes at one second intervals, the switch 
contact is closed (light on).

 

The detector does not react to push button commands 
and remote control commands.

2. Operation

 

The detector is ready for operation (LED off), and when 
no one is present, the light switch contact opens (light 
off).

Installation instructions and detection area

As the detector reacts to variations in temperature, avoid the 

following situations:

¾

†

Do not point the presence detector at objects with highly-

reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.

¾

†

Do not install the presence detector near heat sources such 

as heating vents, air conditioners, lamps, etc.

¾

†

Do not point the presence detector at objects that move in 

the wind such as curtains, large plants, etc.

¾

†

Pay attention to the direction of motion during the test run.

2,5 m

360°

Ø 2 m

Ø 8 m

 

L

recommended installation height: 2 – 4 m

 

L

Transverse detection area: 8 m (transversal to the detector)

 

L

Frontal detection area: 2 m (directly approaching the detector)

 

L

Detection area sitting: 2 m

 

L

Detection angle: 360°

5.  Walking test

The walking test is used to test the detection area.

¾

†

Set the time delay potentiometer (TIME) to T (Test). The 

presence detector only reacts to movements, brightness 

measurement is switched off.

¾

†

Walk through the detection area. Every detected movement 

is indicated by the LED, and the light switch contact closes. 

When no one is present the light switch contact opens after 

3 seconds.

 

L

If the walking test is carried out using the slave device, the 
walking test must also be activated on the master device.
