5. Setup and Installation

The Steinel RS 16 L S is designed for straightforward installation on ceilings or walls. Ensure the power supply is off before proceeding.

5.1 Mounting Location

Select a suitable indoor location such as corridors, stairwells, bathrooms, kitchens, or cellars. The IP44 rating makes it suitable for areas with moderate moisture, but not for direct water exposure.

5.2 Wiring

The lamp and sensor share the same connection, requiring only two wires for power. Connect the live (L) and neutral (N) wires from your mains supply to the corresponding terminals on the fixture. Ensure all connections are secure.

5.3 Securing the Fixture

Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the plastic chassis to the ceiling or wall. Once the chassis is mounted and wired, install an E27 bulb (max. 60W) into the socket. The glass cover attaches without screws using a bayonet fitting, allowing for tool-free bulb changes.

6. Operating Instructions

The integrated high-frequency sensor provides automatic light activation based on movement and ambient light levels. The settings can be adjusted using the rotary controls located on the fixture.

6.1 Sensor Functionality

The 360° high-frequency sensor detects movement independently of temperature. It can detect objects through light building materials such as wood, glass, and lightweight partitions. This allows for discreet integration of the sensor behind the glass cover.

6.2 Adjusting Settings

The following settings can be adjusted via rotary controls:

• Detection Range: Electronically adjustable from 3 to 8 meters. Rotate the control to set the desired detection radius.
• Twilight Threshold: Adjustable from 2 to 2000 lux. This setting determines the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active. For example, a lower lux value means the light will only activate in darker conditions.
• Time Setting: Adjustable from 5 seconds to 15 minutes. This controls how long the light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed.

6.3 Additional Load Connection

The fixture includes a connection option for additional loads, such as a bathroom fan or WC ventilation system, allowing them to be activated simultaneously with the light.

6.4 Permanent Lighting

The interior lighting with motion detector is designed for permanent lighting operation if desired, depending on the specific wiring configuration and settings.

7. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain the performance and appearance of your Steinel RS 16 L S ceiling light.

• Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the glass cover and plastic chassis with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surfaces.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is disconnected. The glass cover can be easily removed via its bayonet fitting for tool-free bulb replacement. Replace with an E27 bulb, maximum 60W.
• Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of damage to the wiring or fixture. If any damage is found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
