SECTION ONE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The unit utilises passive infrared technology to detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.
Upon detection, the lamp will illuminate for a user-determined time period. An integral daylight
sensor ensures night-only operation. This unit has a dual light level operation. During darkness
the lamp will illuminate constantly at a user defined light level until it detects movement, then the
unit will switch to full brightness for a user defined time on period.
PARTS INCLUDED
- Luminaire PIR Sensor unit.
- Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future reference.
- Accessory Pack.
- Tungsten halogen bulb
TOOLS & PARTS NEEDED
- 3 core flexible rubber cable (1.0mm² or 1.5mm² "H05RN-F")
- Electric/hand-held drill & bits.
- Terminal or Electrician’s screwdriver
- Large slotted/philips screwdriver
- Wire cutters
Unit is for outdoor use only. Unit must be mounted on a non-flammable surface as a fixed
luminaire, and is not suitable for portable use.
The unit can get very hot during use. Ensure the unit has cooled before handling.
Ensure adequate ventilation space is allowed between the unit and any object above, in front or
to either side of the unit. Suggested space is 0.5m above, 0.3m to either side & 1.0m in front.
Do not attempt to install during wet weather, if you are suffering from nausea or dizzy spells or on
medication with similar side effects.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified tradesperson or electrician.
SECTION TWO
SELECTING THE LOCATION
The motion detector has a number of detection zones, at various vertical and horizontal angles
as shown (see diagram A).
A moving human body needs to cross/enter one of these zones to activate the sensor. The best
all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted at the optimum height of 2.5m.
Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum performance. See diagram A
detailing detection range and direction.
The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its field of vision than to movement directly
TOWARDS (see diagram B). Therefore position the unit so that the sensor looks ACROSS the
likely approach path.
Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any sources of heat in the detection area (extractor
fans, tumble dryer exhausts etc.) including any other light sources such as other security lighting.
Reflective surfaces (ie pools of water or white-painted walls) and overhanging branches may
cause false activation under extreme conditions.
During extreme weather conditions the motion sensor may exhibit unusual behaviour. This
does not indicate a fault with the sensor. Once normal weather conditions return, the sensor will
resume normal operation.
