Precautions and Warranty
2-wire wall mounted PIR occupancy switch
WAPIR
WAPIRX
DANLERS 2-wire wall mounted passive infra-red occupancy switch
(WAPIR) does not require a neutral connection and can be used as a
simple replacement for an existing one-way wall switch.
The WAPIR incorporates a passive infra-red quad sensor to detect movement
of a warm body within the detection zone (diagram A) and a photocell to
monitor the ambient light level.
Upon detecting movement, if the ambient light is dark enough, the WAPIR
switch will turn the load on. The ambient threshold can be set by the user
to between approximately 100 lux and infinite lux (photocell inactive) via
the LUX adjuster (diagram B).
If no more movement is detected within a pre-selected time, then the
WAPIR switch will turn the load off. This time lag can be set via the TIME
adjuster to 10 seconds, 20s, 40s, 1 minute 15 seconds, 2m30s, 5m, 10m,
20m or 40 minutes (diagram B).
The WAPIR also incorporates a sensitivity adjuster. Turn fully clockwise
for maximum range and sensitivity of the person detector.
The WAPIR has a manual switch on the front plate to select between
‘override off’ (button out) or ‘automatic mode’ (button in).
The button
on the
WAPIRX
is accessed through a small hole in the front of the unit
and functions in the same way.
Several WAPIR units can be wired in parallel, using re-functioned 2-way
lighting wiring, to allow multiple PIR detection (diagram C).
Loading limits
The WAPIR should only be connected to a 230V 50Hz AC supply.
DANLERS WAPIR units can switch up to 6amps (1500W) of:
• Fluorescent lamps, either high frequency of switch start
• Incandescent or mains halogen lamps
(recommended with integral safety fuse)
• Electronic or wire wound transformers.
They can also switch up to:
• 2 amps (500W) of compact fluorescent or LED lamps (typically 50 lamps)
• 1 amp (250W) of Fans.
Larger loads can be switched via a contactor (see over).

Lux and Time set-up
For convenience, ensure that the TIME is set to the minimum and the
button in when setting up the LUX level. Afterwards set the TIME and
SENS to values suitable for the application.
The LUX is best set up when the local ambient light is close to the
minimum desired light level. With the LUX set fully clockwise wait for the
WAPIR to switch off. Rotate the LUX adjuster slowly anticlockwise (- to
+), whilst waving your hand approximately 1m in front of the WAPIR,
until the load switches on.
Fault finding
The load will not switch on:
• The override switch is in the ‘out’ position.
The load stays permanently on or off, possibly after a few weeks.
• The load is less than 40W RESISTIVE per switch and the
rechargeable battery has not been able to recharge.
Add one power factor correction capacitor, at a light fitting, for
each WAPIR in the circuit. Order code: CAPLOAD.
Replace battery with a similar, recharged, rechargeable battery.
Alternatively, put the button out (override off) and with the
product loose on the wall, tap it with a screwdriver handle, the
lamps will switch off and the battery will charge.
