Installation Instructions
Important! please read these InstructIons carefully.
Note for electriciaN:
The security Sensor should be wired to its own
switch. Before installation/maintenance, the
electrical supply should be isolated. Switching
off the wall switch is NOT sufficient isolation to
prevent electrical shock.

Varies the length of time the light will stay ON
from about 10 seconds to 7 minutes. Turn
anti-clockwise to increase ON-time – ideal
setting is about 2 o’clock position (approximately
2 minutes). Whilst there is movement within
range of the unit, the light will remain ON. When
no further movement is detected, the light will
switch OFF after the pre-set time has elapsed.
ImPortant: Be careful of electrical shock.
Always remember that the light may not switch
ON during daylight or the light maybe in the
automatic OFF mode. Never touch live areas
unless fuse is removed or circuit breaker is in
OFF position at the switchboard main.
For best results and operation the following
steps should be taken:
1. Direct the sensor toward the desired area
to be scanned.
To achieve best results for outside use the Arlec
Security Sensor should be mounted on a wall,
or under eaves of a building, generally used to
control an existing light fitting. Ideally the Security
Sensor should be mounted 2.4 metres (8ft)
above the area to be scanned (Refer Fig.1A).
Always mount with the adjustable controls for
LUX and TIME facing downward.
To avoid damage to the unit – do not aim the
sensor towards the sun. Sensor can be angled
above animal height to avoid nuisance triggering.
To avoid nuisance triggering, the sensor should
be directed away from heat sources such as
barbecues, air conditioners, other outside
lighting, moving cars and flue vents.
Do not aim towards reflective surfaces such
as smooth white walls, swimming pools, etc.
The Arlec Security Sensor scanning specifications
(approximately 12 metres at 180°) may vary
slightly depending on the mounting height
and location.
The detection range of the unit may also alter
with temperature change. Before selecting a
place to install the Arlec Security Sensor, you
should note that movement across the scan
area is more effective
than movement
directly toward or
away from the sensor
(Refer Fig.2A). If
movement is made
walking directly
toward or away from
the sensor and not
across it, the apparent
detection range will
be substantially re-
duced (Refer Fig.2B).
WarnIng: Must be installed by a licenced
electrician or other person authorised by
legislation to work on fixed wiring of an electrical
installation.
1. Remove junction box base and position
against wall or eaves.
2. Using the base as a template, mark and drill
the two holes for the masonry plugs or
screws. (More holes maybe needed for cable
entry and exists. Care should be taken to
avoid drilling into concealed electrical wiring.)
3. Run the mains lamp cable through the rubber
grommits located in the mounting base.
4. Add silicone around rear of base and cable
entry holes.
5. Mount the base using screws provided.
6. Terminate all wires in accordance with Fig.3.
7. Re-assemble sensor and put plastic plugs
into assembly screw holes to weatherproof
the unit.

2. Turn the light level and time control knobs
fully clockwise.
3. Turn the wall switch ON, light will come ON
for 30 seconds and then go OFF, provided that
there is no movement in the 150° detection area.
4. Have another person move across the centre
of the area to be scanned and tilt the sensor
until the unit senses the presence of the
moving person, causing the light to switch ON.
5. Adjust time control (TIME ON) to required
setting.
6. Turn the light level control knob fully
anti-clockwise.
7. Your Security Sensor is now ready for use,
and will automatically operate when movement
is detected at night.
8. The wall switch should remain “ON” for
automatic operation.
Turn your wall switch ON. This will put the sensor
into ‘automatic’ mode and it will then start
sensing after dusk. The light will switch ON and
automatically switch OFF after the pre-set time
elapses and will then operate automatically
whenever heat movement is detected.
To override the automatic mode, the sensor must
be switched ON in the automatic mode. Now
switch wall switch OFF and back ON within one
second. Your Security Sensor will now hold your
light ON continuously just likes a normal light.
This override function can be selected during
daytime or night time. To return your sensor to
the automatic mode, switch your wall switch
OFF for at least 20 seconds, then switch it ON
again. To switch your security sensor and lights
OFF completely, switch your wall switch OFF.
To avoid dust build-up and ensure proper
functioning of the Arlec Security Sensor wipe
the lens lightly with a damp cloth every three
months. DO not use solvents or abrasive
cleaners on any part of your Security Sensor.
