4. Product Overview and Features
The Gewiss GW10592 is a compact infrared motion detector designed for indoor use. It features a passive infrared (PIR) sensor that detects changes in infrared radiation caused by moving objects, such as people. The device is suitable for integration into lighting control systems, alarm systems, or other automation applications.
Figure 1: Front view of the Gewiss GW10592 Infrared Motion Detector. The device has a white square casing with a prominent dark grey circular sensor lens in the center. Above the lens, two small dark grey adjustment knobs are visible, labeled "LUX" and "TIME" respectively, indicating controls for light sensitivity and detection duration.
Key Features:
- Infrared (PIR) motion detection
- Wired power supply (230V)
- Compact design for discreet installation
- Adjustable LUX (light sensitivity) and TIME (detection duration) settings
- Maximum detection range of 2 meters
5. Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure the power supply to the circuit is completely turned off at the main breaker. This device is designed for flush-mounted installation within a standard electrical box.
5.1 Wiring Diagram
Refer to the wiring diagram provided on the device itself or within the packaging for correct connection. Typically, the device will require Live (L), Neutral (N), and a Switched Live (L') output to control the connected load (e.g., light fixture).
- Connect the Live wire from the power supply to the 'L' terminal.
- Connect the Neutral wire from the power supply to the 'N' terminal.
- Connect the Live wire of the load (e.g., light) to the 'L'' terminal.
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
Note: Incorrect wiring can damage the device or cause electrical hazards. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
5.2 Mounting
- Prepare the electrical box in the desired installation location.
- Carefully insert the wired motion detector into the electrical box.
- Secure the device using the provided mounting screws.
- Attach the faceplate (if separate) to complete the installation.
Choose a mounting location that provides an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored and is free from direct heat sources or air currents that could cause false triggers.
6. Operating Instructions
Once installed and powered on, the Gewiss GW10592 motion detector will begin its operation. The device features two adjustable knobs for fine-tuning its performance:
- LUX (Light Sensitivity): This knob controls the ambient light level at which the detector becomes active.
- Turn towards the sun icon for the detector to operate during both day and night (high light sensitivity).
- Turn towards the moon icon for the detector to operate only in low light conditions or darkness (low light sensitivity).
- TIME (Detection Duration): This knob sets the duration for which the connected load (e.g., light) remains active after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed.
- Turn towards the minus (-) symbol for a shorter duration.
- Turn towards the plus (+) symbol for a longer duration.
After adjusting the settings, allow a brief stabilization period (typically 30-60 seconds) for the detector to calibrate.
7. Maintenance
The Gewiss GW10592 motion detector requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the sensor lens and casing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the device.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any visible damage to the casing or wiring. If damage is observed, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
- There are no user-serviceable parts inside this device.
8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Gewiss GW10592 motion detector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not detecting motion. | No power; incorrect wiring; sensor obstructed; incorrect LUX setting. | Check power supply and wiring. Ensure sensor lens is clean and unobstructed. Adjust LUX setting to operate in current light conditions. |
| Connected load (e.g., light) stays on constantly. | Continuous motion in detection area; faulty wiring; internal fault. | Ensure no constant motion. Check wiring for short circuits. If problem persists, consult a qualified electrician. |
| Connected load turns on/off too frequently (false triggers). | Heat sources (HVAC vents, direct sunlight); pets; incorrect sensitivity. | Relocate device away from heat sources. Adjust TIME setting. Ensure pets are not triggering the sensor. |
| Connected load does not turn off. | TIME setting too long; continuous motion; faulty relay. | Adjust TIME setting to a shorter duration. Ensure no continuous motion. If problem persists, consult a qualified electrician. |
For issues not listed above, or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact Gewiss customer support or a qualified electrician.
