inSTAllATiOn:
When installing the PIR flood light refer to Fig.4 on
the previous page.
01) switch off the mains before commencing
installation.
02) Remove the wall bracket from the fitting by
removing the screws and nuts from each side.
Take care not to lose any of these parts as the
nuts are not captive within the fitting - see fig.4.
03) Using the bracket as a template mark and then
drill the appropriate fixing holes.
04) secure the bracket with suitable fixings (not
supplied).
05) Unscrew the junction box cover screws and
remove cover, unscrew the gland nut and loosen
the cable restraint clamp. connect the power
cable (not included) to the terminal block, see
fig. 4. Ensure the cable passes through the cable
gland and gasket.
06) Re-fit the terminal block, tighten the cable
restraint clamp, tighten the gland nut and re-fit
the cover.
07) Fix housing back into wall mounting bracket and
secure with screws, washers and nuts previously
removed.
08) Unscrew the lamp cover screw and insert the
lamp making sure it is correctly seated in the
lampholder (do not touch the bulb with bare
hands use a soft cloth) then re-fix the cover.
09) Adjust the direction of the floodlight and tighten
the head fixings ensuring that you have used the
lock washers.
10) Restore mains power.
11) Adjust the PIR sensor floodlight to the desired
settings.
impORTAnT
Loosen the lock nuts and screws on sensor and
floodlight before making any adjustments.
UnDeRSTAnDinG THe COnTROlS:
(Referring to Fig.5 above)
ADJUSTinG THe DURATiOn Time:
The length of time that unit remains switched on
after activation can be adjusted from (5±1) seconds
to (8±1) minutes approximately. Rotating the TIME
knob from (+) to (-) will reduce the duration time.
note:
once the light has been triggered by the PIR
sensor any subsequent detection will start the timed
period again from the beginning.
ADJUSTinG THe lUx COnTROl level:
The Lux control module has a built-in sensing device
(photocell) that detects daylight and darkness. The
(
R
) position denotes that the floodlights can work
at day and night, and the (
) position only work at
night. you can set to operate the unit at the desired
level by adjusting the LUx knob.
ADJUSTinG THe SenSiTiviTY:
The sensitivity means the maximum distance which
PIR sensor can be triggered by movement - turning
the sEns knob from (+) to (-) will decrease the
sensitivity.
SeTTinG THe COnTROlS:
wAlK TeST
Turn the Lux control knob to light (
R
) ensure that the
TIME control knob is set at minimum duration time
(-) position (rotating the TIME knob anti-clockwise
to stop-position). The floodlight will now switch on
and remain on for about 5-15 seconds after each
detection.
01) Direct the sensor toward the desired area to be
scanned by adjusting the swivel joint on the
sensor arm.
important: loosen the lock nuts and screws
on sensor and floodlight before making any
adjustments.
02) Have another person move across the center
of the area to be scanned and slowly adjust the
angle of the sensor arm until the unit senses
the presence of the moving person, causing the
floodlight to switch on (refer to Fig. 2).
03) Adjust time control to required setting.
04) To set the light level at which the floodlight will
automatically switch “on” at night, turn the LUx
control knob from daylight (
R
) to night (
). If the
floodlight is required to switch on earlier, e.g.
dusk, wait for the desired light level, then slowly
turn the LUx control knob towards daylight while
someone walks across the center of the area to
be detected. When the floodlight switches on,
release the LUx control knob. you may need to
make further adjustments to achieve your ideal
light level setting.

Light does not switch on
when there is movement
in the detection area.
1. no mains voltage
check all connections, and McB Fuses / switches
2. nearby lighting is too bright
Redirect sensor or relocate the unit
3. controls set incorrectly
Readjust sensor angle or control knob
4. Lamp blown
check lamp functions and replace if necessary
5. Lamp not fitted correctly
Make sure the lamp is correctly seated in the
lampholder
6. Wired incorrectly
check wiring and confirm its wired as per the
wiring diagram
7. sensor positioned in wrong direction
Adjust angle and direction of PIR for best results
walk across beam
Light switches on for no
apparent reason (false
trigger)
1. Heat from lamp body activating sensor
Adjust PIR sensor or floodlight to allow a
minimum gap of 40mm between floodlight body
and sensor head
2. Heat sources such as air-con, vents, heaters, flues,
other outside lighting, moving cars trees or shrubs
are activating sensor
Adjust direction of sensor head away from these
sources. Reduce sensitivity (if available)
3. Animals / birds activating sensor
Redirecting sensor head may help (Reduce
sensitvity settings)
4. Interference from on/off switching of electric
fans or lights on the same circuit as your security
floodlight.
(This problem does not always occur but a faulty
switch or noisy fluorescent light may cause the
security floodlight 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 floodlight to a separate
circuit (in most cases where one or more of
the above suggestions have been carried out,
false triggering has been reduced)
5. Reflection from swimming pool, or reflective
surface such as smooth white walls
Redirect sensor
Light remains on
1. continuously false triggered
Redirecting sensor head may help
2. Time is set too long
Reduce time
Light remains on at
nighttime
Possible heat source in detection zone
cover PIR sensor lens with a thick cloth, if the
light turns off check detection area for heat or
reflective source, reposition head and decrease
the sensitivity setting if this control is available
Light switches on during
daylight hours
LUx control knob is set to daylight position
Turn the LUx control knob to desired light level
setting
When setting the lux
controls in daylight
the detection distance
becomes shorter
Interference by sunlight
Re-test at night
