PIR does not activate Switching Receiver and lights at all…
●
Check that the battery in the PIR is not exhausted.
●
Check that the power to the Receiver is switched ON.
●
Check the bulb and replace if defective. Ensure that the light bulb is correctly fitted.
●
Turn OFF the power to the unit and check the wiring connections as per the wiring
diagram. Ensure all connections are correct and terminals are tight. Check the
connections at the switch, PIR and Light.
●
Check that the fuse or Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) supplying the lighting circuit
has not blown or tripped. Before replacing the fuse or resetting the MCB be sure to
check for the cause.
●
Check that the Receiver has correctly learned the PIR identification code by following
the test procedure. If necessary reset the Receiver and relearn the code.
PIR activates Switching Receiver during the day and not during the night…
●
Check that the PIR operating switch is set to the NIGHT position.
PIR activates Switching Receiver during the day as well as at night…
●
The ambient level of light at the Detector may be too low for the current dusk setting
permanently simulating night-time. In normal daylight, adjust the dusk control slightly
anticlockwise. Wait outside the detection area until the light goes out, then re-enter it
to see if the movement activates the light. If necessary continue to adjust the dusk
setting until movement does not activate the light. In extreme cases it may be
necessary to reposition the PIR.
PIR activates for no apparent reason at random without any movement in its
detection area…
●
Wind, small animals or pets, passing traffic or pedestrians may be activating the
detector. Try adjusting the detector head or masking sections of the lens to reduce
the detection area. You may even have to move the PIR to a different position
Detection range varies from day to day...
●
The PIR Detector operates by sensing temperature changes caused by a person
moving through its detection zones. These temperature changes are measured
relative to the background temperature so on a colder day the PIR may appear more
sensitive than on a warmer day.
