1. General information:
The unit utilises passive infrared technology to detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.
Upon detection, the lamp will illuminate for a user-determined time period.
An integral daylight sensor ensures night-only operation.
Parts Included
• Luminaire c/w PIR Sensor unit.
• Instruction manual. Please keep safe
for future reference.
• 20W Compact fluorescent lamp.
• Accessory pack.
Unit is for outdoor use only. Unit must be mounted on a non-flammable surface as a fixed
luminaire, and is not suitable for portable use.
The unit can get very hot during use. Ensure the unit has cooled before handling.
Ensure adequate ventilation space is allowed between the unit and any object above, in front
or to either side of the unit. Suggested space is 0.5m above, 0.3m to either side & 1.0m in front.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified tradesperson or electrician.
2. Selecting the location:
The motion detector has a number of detection zones, at various vertical and horizontal angles
as shown (see diagram A).
A moving human body needs to cross/enter one of these zones to activate the sensor.
The best all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted at the optimum height of 2.5m.
Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum performance.
See diagram A detailing detection range and direction.
The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its field of vision than to movement directly
TOWARDS (see diagram B). Therefore position the unit so that the sensor looks ACROSS the
likely approach path.
Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any sources of heat in the detection area
(extractor fans, tumble dryer exhausts etc.).
Reflective surfaces (i.e. pools of water or white-painted walls) and overhanging branches may
cause false activation under extreme conditions.
During extreme weather conditions the motion sensor may exhibit unusual behaviour.
This does not indicate a fault with the sensor. Once normal weather conditions return,
the sensor will resume normal operation.
