problem
possible cause
suggested remedy
Light does not switch ON when there is
movement in the detection area.
1. No main power.
Check all connections, and fuses/switches.
2. Globe faulty or missing.
Check. Replace.
3. Wiring incorrect.
Re-check.
4. Nearby lighting is too bright.
(A) Re-direct sensor or relocate unit
(B) Gradually turn light level control
anti-clockwise.
5. Controls set incorrectly.
Re-adjust sensor angle.
6. Sensor positioned in
wrong direction.
Re-direct sensor by tilting.
Light switches ON for no
apparent reason.
1. Heat sources such as air con,
vents, heater flues, or very cold
objects are near sensor.
Adjust direction of sensor head from these
sources by tilting.
2. Animals/birds e.g. possums.
Probably unavoidable but relocating
sensor may help.
3. Interference from ON/OFF switching
of electric fans or lights on the
same circuit as your Security
Sensor. (This problem does not
always occur but a faulty switch or
a noisy fluorescent light may cause
your lights to switch ON.)
Should the false triggering become
troublesome consider:
(A) Replacing a faulty switch.
(B) Replacing noisy fluorescent tubes
and/or starters.
(C) Connecting the Security Sensor to a
separate circuit. (In most cases where
one or more of the above suggestions
have been carried out, false triggering
has been reduced.)
4. Interference from power surges,
mobile phones, CB’s, Taxis, etc.
Nil
5. Heat source, BBQ, etc.
Re-direct sensor by tilting.
6. Reflection from swimming pool or
reflective surface.
Re-direct sensor by tilting.
Poor sensitivity and range
1. Movement directly to or away from
sensor
Re-direct sensor by tilting. (Refer to page 2).
2. Higher ambient temperature
Nil.
Note: All passive infra red detectors are more
sensitive in cold weather than warm weather.
Light remains ON
1. Sensor is in automatic override
continuous ON mode
Switch sensor OFF for 20 seconds at wall
switch, and then return to ON position.
2. Time is set too long
Reduce time by turning clockwise.
3. Wiring is incorrect
Re-check wiring.

PVC electrical tape
Figure 5.
To reduce the 150° wide angle detection area,
stick PVC electrical tape on the left, right or both
sides of the sensor lens. This will reduce 150°
detection in extremities of area to be scanned.
After adding PVC tape some further adjustment
of light level control maybe necessary.
