TO CHANGE PIR SETTINGS
The unit comes with a remote control handset, which is used to change settings of the PIR. If the default settings (listed above) are not
suitable, then the use the handset as follows:
PIR TESTING
It may be possible to test the PIR using your required settings, but if it is daylight then you can test it by:
1.
Using the remote control handset, set sensor to:
o
DAY MODE by pressing the green “Day mode” button
o
FAR DISTANCE (max sensitivity) by pressing blue “Far distance” button
o
TIME DELAY to 15 Seconds by pressing the orange “15 sec” button
2.
Avoid sensor detection to allow fitting to go off.
3.
Create movement in front of the sensor & the luminaire will switch on.
4.
Cease movement & the luminaire will switch off after 15 seconds.
5.
Once satisfied it is working, adjust to required settings as listed above.
PE CELL TESTING
•
Using the remote control set the fitting to Photocell only operation by pressing the blue button marked PE cell.
•
To test cover the sensor and the fitting will come on, once uncovered the fitting will go off.
FAULT FINDING
If you experiencing a problem please check through the following before making contact with NVC:
Fault - Load does not come on
•
Check to see if the live supply to the circuit is good.
•
Check that the “Lux Sensing” setting matches the user requirements. If the 60 lux threshold of “Dusk Mode” is too low for switch
on, then change to “Day Mode” setting to always come on.
•
Check that the photocell mode of operation has not been selected.
Fault - Light does not go off
•
Ensure that the area is left unoccupied for longer than the selected timer setting.
•
Avoid direct sunlight entering the sensor.
•
Do not site within 1m of forced air heating or ventilation.
•
Do not fix to a vibrating surface.
Lux sensing (green buttons):
Day mode = Always come on
Dusk mode = Only come on when
ambient light level < 60 lux (Default)
Time out setting (orange buttons):
15 seconds to 30 mins
(Default = 30 secs)
Sensitivity setting (blue buttons):
Near distance = Picks up in shorter range
(Default)
Far distance = senses in longest range
Override fitting OFF
ON/Manual Override = Turn the
luminaire on, but with no PIR
function
ON/PIR sensor = Turn on PIR mode
(Default)
Note: Press button to select setting. A
successful setting is shown by the
fitting switching off & then back on.
DETECTION RANGE
8m maximum. Most sensitive on
direct perpendicular to front of
fitting/sensor, so fitting should be
tilted/angled to suit
.
NOTE! The luminaire will flash
off & on to show a handset
command has been received.
Photocell mode only
