IntroductIon
Ness LUX wired PIR is a unique high performance
motion detector with a white LED night-light.
LUX features include 15m x 15m detection cover-
age, look-down creep zone with adjustable mask-
ing, selectable standard or Pet Aware modes,
high RF immunity, white light immunity, adjustable
digital range, adjustable digital pulse count.
LUX also has built-in support for home automa-
tion functions with a fast response motion sensor
output designed to feed to automation systems.
LUX has a wide power input range of 10~15VDC
designed to operate on all Ness alarm control
panels and automation systems.
For safety and convenience, LUX’s night-light
function provides a motion-activated cone of light
to help you find your way at night. The night-light
operates for 25 seconds when activated and will
remain lit as long as it detects motion, while the
built-in ambient light sensor helps save power by
enabling the night-light only in the dark.
Ness LUX’s “capsule” design protects sensitive
electronic components and provides easy access
to the terminals and dipswitches.
detectIon coverage
At the recommended mounting height of
2.1m~2.3m, LUX detector coverage is up to 15m
(HIgH range setting) or 12m (LOW range setting).
Pet aware Mode
In Pet Aware mode (see Settings) the lower detection zones are masked by the sensor mask while the
upper detection zones are optimised for detecting humans.
If using the optional Quantum Swivel bracket, ensure that the detector is not tilted downwards to prevent
the upper detection zones from intersecting the floor.
Note that in Pet Mode detection sensitivity will be reduced closer to the floor. You may need to use the
optional Quantum swivel bracket to adjust the coverage for a balance of detection coverage for human
and pets.
Installing the detector lower than 2.1metres may result in false detection of animals.
