7. Setting Up
Walk Test Procedure (Test Mode)
• Make sure the PIR sensor is set to Test Mode i.e. the TIME ON Adjustment
to the minimum (fully anti-clockwise), and the Lux Level set the Sun symbol
(fully clockwise).
• Turn the power to the unit ON. The lamp will immediately illuminate as the unit
goes through its ‘warm-up’ period. After approximately 30 seconds the lamp will
extinguish. This indicates the unit is wired correctly and the unit is in Test Mode.
• Try to remain outside the detection area during the warm-up period.
• The unit will now operate during daytime as well as at night, illuminating the
lamp for approx. 2 seconds each time. This allows testing to be carried out
to establish whether the sensor is covering the required area.
• Walk across the location the sensor is fitted, to establish the detection zone.
• The sensor will detect you approximately up to 12 metres forward at mounting
height of 2.5m.
• As you cross a detection ‘zone’ the lamp will illuminate. Now stand still
until the lamp extinguishes (this should take approx. 2 seconds).
• Start moving again after 5 seconds.
Each time you cross the detection
‘zone’ the lamp will illuminate.
• Repeat the above, walking at various
distances and angles to the unit.
This will help you to confirm the
detection pattern (See image 10).
