House light with motion detector
How it works
The motion detector works based on passive
infrared technology. Via a PIR sensor, the detector
notices any heat sources moving within its fi eld
of detection and switches on automatically.
Static heat sources do not trigger it. The adjustable
twilight switch lets you choose whether you have
the motion detector working day and night or only
when it is dark. The integrated timer also lets you
adjust how long the light stays on.
How the LED accent light works
The adjustable twilight switch also switches on
the LED accent light. This can work day and night
or only when it is dark, as you wish.
Safety information
To be fi tted by qualifi ed electricians only,
observing
all
standard
national
installation regulations.
No work to be carried out while live. Circuit trip
switch must therefore be switched off.
Check to make sure the connecting cable is
not live!
All warranty claims will be null and void in the
event of any damage or loss caused by failure
to observe these operating instructions. We
accept no liability for any consequential losses or
damage. We accept no liability for any personal
injury or material damage caused by improper
use or by failure to observe the safety advice. In
such cases all warranty claims will be null and
void. For reasons of safety and CE approval, no
unauthorised conversion and/or modifi cation of
the appliance is allowed.
Where to install
The light is best at detecting movement when this
is at right angles to the motion detector. Motion
detectors should therefore always be set up
so that likely movement is not directly towards
them.
Installing the light
Fit the light as per fi gs. A - E. External / internal
corner fi tting possible with (accessory) corner
plinth (fi g. F). To make it easier to attach, you
can use the hanger (fi g. C). Wire up the mains
connection cable as per circuit diagram (fi g.
D). You can use PE + N + L' to connect another
consumer unit, e.g. a second light, or similar.
Switch the circuit trip switch back on.
Test mode / Motion test
Test mode starts up whenever power is applied.
Set the external SENS and TIME controls to
12m and 'Minimum' respectively (fi gs. H, I & L).
If the house light is connected via a separate
switch, switch it on. A self-test lasting 30
seconds now begins. The light is on throughout
this time. When the light goes out, the motion
test begins.
Whenever there is movement,
the light will now come on for c. 9 seconds,
regardless of how bright it is in the surrounding
area. The time begins when there is any
movement from the front.
The motion test
ends automatically c. 1 minute after no more
movement is detected, and the sensor switches
automatically to monitoring mode, i.e. automatic
operation.
The test mode helps you to set the desired fi eld
of detection for your individual requirements. The
motion detector can be horizontally adjusted
(fi g. H). The range can be limited using the two
external controls (SENS). Each control covers an
angle of 90° (fi g. I). The angle of detection can be
limited using an attachable screen, which can be
cut to size (fi g. J).
After the test mode has been run, you can make
the other settings.
Settings (fi gs. L, I)
SENS Detection range setting, c. 3 – 12m. Each
control covers an area of 90°.
LUX Twilight switch, c. 5 - 1000 Lux
TIME Setting for how long the light stays on, c. 5
secs. -12 mins.
DUSK TIME (to switch on see next section)
Time setting for permanent light / holiday mode,
c. 1 - 8 hours
Permanent / holiday mode
Note
To work, appliance must be operated via a switch,
be on (switch is on) and in automatic mode.
Permanent light mode
You activate 'Permanent light mode' by quickly
turning the switch off and on twice. The light
comes on and stays on when dusk falls and
the preset darkness level is reached, regardless
of any movement. The length of time to stay on
can be selected using the 'DUSK TIME' adjuster.
After this time, automatic mode resumes.
Holiday mode
You activate 'Holiday mode' by quickly turning the
switch off and on three times. The light comes
on each day when dusk falls and the preset
darkness level is reached, regardless of any
movement. The length of time to stay on can
be selected using the 'DUSK TIME' adjuster.
Automatic mode is resumed by manually
switching quickly off and on once.
Note for both modes:
Regardless of the preset time, the light switches
off as soon as the preset dusk level is exceeded,
i.e.
when
it
gets
light.
'Permanent
light' or 'Holiday mode' can be cancelled
by
switching
quickly
off
and
ononce.
Troubleshooting – Practical tips
Problem
Cause
Light comes
• Detection range setting
on too late
• Movement from the front
Motion detector fails to
• Motion detector is
achieve maximum range
mounted too low
• Difference in temperature
between heat source and surroundings
is not big enough
Light is constantly on or • Constant thermal movement:
spotlight comes on
There are areas within detection range
when not necessary
that are not supposed to be
monitored, e.g. footpaths, roads, trees etc.
Unexpected changes in heat sources
caused by storms, rain or fans.
The infl uence of direct /
indirect sunlight.
Fails to react
• Vehicle has not warmed up
to vehicles
• Engine area is very well insulated

remind you how everything works.
Remedy
• Adjust detection area
by turning the sensor
• Mount higher
• Set SENS control to 12m
