5. Installation
Important: Ensure power is disconnected at the main circuit breaker before beginning installation.
5.1 Mounting Location
- The sensor can be flush-mounted in ceilings, walls, or cabinets.
- Recommended installation height is between 2 and 3 meters for optimal detection.
- Avoid mounting near heat sources (e.g., vents, radiators) or in direct sunlight, as this can cause false triggers.
- Ensure the detection area is clear of obstructions.

5.2 Wiring Instructions
The motion detector uses a 3-wire connection system. Refer to the diagram below for correct wiring.
- Drill a hole of approximately Ø 12mm for the sensor head at the desired mounting location.
- Insert the sensor head into the drilled hole.
- Connect the control unit to the main power supply and the load (e.g., light fixture) as follows:
- Brown Wire (L): Connect to Live (Phase) input (230V AC).
- Blue Wire (N): Connect to Neutral input.
- Red Wire (L'): Connect to the Live (Phase) input of your light fixture or other load. The Neutral of the load should connect directly to the main Neutral.
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
- Place the control unit in a suitable flush-mounted box or cavity.

6. Operating Instructions and Settings
The motion detector features adjustable settings for light sensitivity and switching duration, controlled via dip switches on the control unit.
6.1 Light Sensitivity Adjustment
The light sensitivity determines at what ambient light level the motion detector will activate. This allows the light to only switch on when it is dark enough.
- Refer to the dip switches labeled with a sun/moon icon or similar.
- Adjust the switches to set the desired lux level. A higher setting means the light will activate even in brighter conditions, while a lower setting means it will only activate in darker conditions.
- The response time for light detection is 0.8-1.8 ms.
6.2 Switching Duration Adjustment
The switching duration (time delay) determines how long the connected light remains on after the last detected motion.
- Refer to the dip switches labeled with time values (e.g., 5s, 30s, 1', 3', 5', 8').
- Select the desired duration: 5 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or 8 minutes.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the sensor head and control unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
- No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to open the control unit.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power; incorrect wiring; light sensitivity set too high (too bright); faulty bulb. | Check power supply; verify wiring connections; adjust light sensitivity setting; test/replace bulb. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Constant motion in detection area; faulty sensor; incorrect wiring. | Ensure no continuous motion; check sensor placement; verify wiring. |
| Light turns on/off randomly (false triggers). | Heat sources in detection area; drafts; sensor too sensitive; light changes. | Relocate sensor away from heat/drafts; adjust sensitivity setting; ensure stable ambient light. |
| Detection range is too short/long. | Incorrect installation height; sensitivity setting. | Verify installation height (2-3m); adjust sensitivity if possible (though not explicitly stated as adjustable for range, light sensitivity can affect perceived range). |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact customer support or a qualified electrician.
