Key Features:
- 160° PIR sensor for wide detection coverage.
- Detection range up to 9 meters.
- Suitable for indoor flush wall mounting (IP20 rated).
- Compatible with LED lighting.
- Adjustable light sensitivity (3-2000 lux).
- Adjustable activation delay time (10-420 seconds).
- Integrated ON/OFF/PIR function switch.

2. Safety Instructions
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard. Installation and wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local and national electrical codes. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
- Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing or servicing the device.
- Verify that the supply voltage matches the device's rating (230V AC).
- Important Safety Note: Some user reports indicate potential safety concerns regarding the internal wiring, specifically a possible connection between the neutral (N) terminal and the metallic chassis, or a commonality between earth and neutral. This design may pose an electrical shock risk in installations where separate ground and neutral lines are required or expected (e.g., certain European wiring standards). Exercise extreme caution during installation and consider consulting a professional electrician to ensure safe integration into your electrical system.
- This product may not carry a CE certification mark, which is typically required for products sold within the European Economic Area. Users should be aware of this and assess compliance with local regulations.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 100W.
- Do not install in locations exposed to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, high humidity, or strong vibrations.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the device.

5. Setup and Installation
This device is designed for flush wall mounting. Ensure power is disconnected before proceeding with installation.
5.1 Choosing an Installation Location
- Install the detector in a location where the desired detection area is clear of obstructions.
- Avoid placing near heat sources (e.g., heating vents, direct sunlight) or areas with strong air currents, as these can cause false triggers.
- Recommended installation height is between 1.0 and 1.8 meters for optimal detection range and angle.

5.2 Wiring Instructions
The device uses screw terminals for electrical connections. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the product packaging for precise connections. A typical connection involves:
- L (Live/Phase): Connect the incoming live wire from the power supply.
- N (Neutral): Connect the incoming neutral wire from the power supply.
- L' (Switched Live): Connect this terminal to the live input of the lamp or luminaire you wish to control.
Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. After wiring, carefully place the detector into the wall box and secure it. Attach the front cover.
6. Operating and Adjustments
The Goobay 96005 motion detector has three main adjustable functions: the ON/OFF/PIR switch, the TIME setting, and the LUX setting.
6.1 ON/OFF/PIR Switch
Located on the front of the device, this switch allows you to select the operating mode:
- ON: The connected light will remain continuously on, bypassing the motion sensor function.
- OFF: The connected light will remain continuously off.
- PIR: The motion sensor is active. The light will turn on when motion is detected and ambient light conditions meet the LUX setting.
6.2 TIME Adjustment (Light Duration)
The TIME dial, located behind the front cover, controls how long the light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed. Rotate the dial to adjust the duration:
- Rotate clockwise for a longer duration (up to 420 seconds).
- Rotate counter-clockwise for a shorter duration (down to 10 seconds).
6.3 LUX Adjustment (Light Sensitivity)
The LUX dial, also located behind the front cover, determines the ambient light level at which the sensor will become active. This allows the light to only turn on when it's dark enough.
- Rotate towards the 'sun' symbol (higher lux value) for the sensor to activate only in brighter conditions (e.g., during dusk).
- Rotate towards the 'moon' symbol (lower lux value) for the sensor to activate only in darker conditions (e.g., at night).
- The range is adjustable from approximately 3 lux (dark) to 2000 lux (daylight).
7. Maintenance
The Goobay 96005 motion detector requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens and outer casing with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the device.
- Inspection: Regularly check for any signs of damage to the casing or wiring. If any damage is found, disconnect power immediately and have the device inspected by a qualified technician.
8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Goobay 96005 motion detector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Light does not turn on when motion is detected:
- Check if the ON/OFF/PIR switch is set to 'PIR'.
- Adjust the LUX setting towards the 'moon' symbol to ensure it activates in current ambient light conditions.
- Verify that the power supply to the detector and the connected light is active.
- Ensure the detection area is clear and motion is occurring within range.
- Check the connected light bulb/fixture for functionality.
- Light stays on continuously or turns on randomly:
- Check if the ON/OFF/PIR switch is set to 'ON'.
- Adjust the TIME setting to a shorter duration.
- Ensure there are no constant heat sources or air currents (e.g., heating vents, open windows, pets) within the detection zone causing false triggers.
- For LED lights: If using low-wattage LED lights, some residual current or 'ghosting' (flickering or dim illumination when off) can occur. This is often due to the minimal load of LEDs and can sometimes be resolved by adding a bypass capacitor or a minimum load resistor in parallel with the LED light, or by using an LED-compatible motion sensor designed for very low loads. Consult an electrician for appropriate solutions.
- Detection range or angle is insufficient:
- Ensure the installation height is within the recommended 1.0 to 1.8 meters.
- Verify that there are no physical obstructions blocking the sensor's view.
- Clean the sensor lens if it is dirty.
