• Multiple PIR Sensor Switching: A maximum of 4 PDSM1500 PIR sensors can be
wired in parallel, to enable any detector to turn
ON all the lights connected (The total load must
not exceed the lamp rating of a single
PDSM1500 unit).
4. Selecting a Location
• Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum
performance (See diagram “A” & “B” detailing detection range and direction).
• The best all-around coverage is achieved with the unit mounted at the optimum
height of 3 metres.
• 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.
• Reflective surfaces (i.e. pools of water or white-painted walls) 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.
