1. Product Overview
The Goobay 95175 is a wall-mounted infrared motion detector designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. It features a 180-degree detection area and a range of up to 12 meters, making it suitable for automatically switching lights, lamps, and LEDs. Its IP44 rating ensures protection against splashing water, allowing for reliable operation in outdoor environments.
This sensor accurately detects the movement of people and animals, particularly effective in darkness or low-light conditions. The sensor head is rotatable and tiltable, enabling optimal adjustment of the detection area to suit specific requirements.

4. Setup and Installation
This motion detector is designed for surface wall mounting. Ensure the mounting location is stable and provides the desired detection coverage.
4.1 Mounting Location Considerations
- Avoid mounting near heat sources (e.g., vents, direct sunlight) that could cause false triggers.
- Do not point the sensor directly at moving objects like trees or busy roads if not desired.
- The recommended installation height is between 1.8 m and 2.5 m for optimal performance.
4.2 Wiring Instructions
- Disconnect Power: Turn off the main power supply to the installation area at the circuit breaker.
- Prepare Wires: Strip the insulation from the electrical wires (Live, Neutral, Load) according to standard electrical practices.
- Connect Wires: Use the screw terminals inside the detector to connect the wires. Typically:
- Connect the Live (L) wire from the power supply to the Live terminal on the detector.
- Connect the Neutral (N) wire from the power supply to the Neutral terminal on the detector.
- Connect the Load (L') wire (to the light fixture) to the Load terminal on the detector.
- Secure Wiring: Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Mount Detector: Secure the detector to the wall using appropriate screws and anchors.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the circuit.
5. Operating Instructions
The Goobay 95175 motion detector features adjustable settings for light sensitivity and operating duration.
5.1 Adjusting Light Sensitivity (LUX)
The 'LUX' knob controls the ambient light level at which the detector becomes active. Rotate the knob:
- Towards the 'moon' symbol (lower lux value) for activation only in darker conditions (e.g., night).
- Towards the 'sun' symbol (higher lux value) for activation in brighter conditions (e.g., twilight or even daylight).
5.2 Adjusting Operating Duration (TIME)
The 'TIME' knob sets how long the connected light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed. Rotate the knob:
- Towards '-' for a shorter duration (minimum 10 seconds).
- Towards '+' for a longer duration (maximum 420 seconds / 7 minutes).
5.3 Adjusting Sensor Angle
The sensor head can be manually rotated and tilted to precisely define the detection area. Adjust the sensor to cover the desired zone and avoid unwanted triggers.
6. Maintenance
The Goobay 95175 motion detector requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or dirt that might obstruct detection. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly check the device for any signs of damage or loose connections.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on with motion. | No power; incorrect wiring; LUX setting too high; sensor obstructed; faulty bulb. | Check power supply; verify wiring connections; adjust LUX setting to 'moon' for testing; clear sensor path; replace bulb. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Constant motion in detection area; TIME setting too long; faulty sensor. | Adjust sensor angle to exclude constant motion; reduce TIME setting; if problem persists, sensor may be faulty. |
| Light turns on randomly. | Heat sources or moving objects in detection area; sensor too sensitive. | Adjust sensor angle to avoid heat sources or unwanted movement (e.g., trees, pets); ensure secure mounting to prevent vibration. |
| Detection range is too short/long. | Incorrect installation height; sensor angle not optimized. | Verify installation height is within 1.8m - 2.5m; adjust sensor head angle. |
