revolt Automatic Switch with PIR Motion Detector

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the revolt Automatic Switch with PIR Motion Detector. This device is designed to provide convenient and energy-efficient lighting control by automatically turning lights on when motion is detected and off when the area is clear. It features adjustable settings for light duration and ambient light sensitivity, ensuring optimal performance for various environments.

Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure safe and correct usage.

2. Safety Instructions

WARNING: This device operates on 230V mains voltage. Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician or a person with appropriate electrical knowledge to prevent electric shock or fire hazards.

• Always disconnect the main power supply before attempting any installation, wiring, or maintenance.
• Ensure all wiring connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
• Do not expose the device to moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Keep out of reach of children.

4. Product Overview

The revolt Automatic Switch is designed for flush mounting and features a passive infrared (PIR) sensor to detect motion. The front panel includes the sensor lens and a cover that conceals the adjustment dials.

Figure 1: Front view of the revolt Automatic Switch. The main body is white, with a central rectangular PIR sensor. A small, translucent cover is visible above the sensor, which can be lifted to access adjustment controls.

Key components include:

• PIR Sensor Lens: Detects infrared radiation emitted by moving objects.
• Adjustment Dials (under cover): Used to set detection sensitivity (LUX) and light duration (TIME).
• Wiring Terminals (rear): For connecting to the 230V power supply and the light fixture.

5. Installation

This device is designed for indoor, flush-mount installation, typically in a standard wall box or ceiling mount. The detection angle is 160 degrees.

1. Power Disconnection: Before starting, ensure the main power supply to the circuit where the switch will be installed is completely turned off at the circuit breaker. Verify with a voltage tester.
2. Wiring: Connect the switch according to the wiring diagram provided in the product packaging (if available) or standard electrical practices for a 230V motion sensor switch. Typically, this involves connecting the Live (L) wire, Neutral (N) wire (if required by your specific model, though some may operate without N), and the Switched Live (Load) wire to your light fixture. The device operates on 230V.
3. Mounting: Carefully insert the switch into the wall box or ceiling opening. Secure it using the provided screws or mounting clips, ensuring it is flush with the surface.
4. Power Reconnection: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power to the circuit at the main breaker.

For detailed wiring diagrams, please refer to the specific instructions included in your product packaging or consult a qualified electrician.

6. Operation and Settings

After installation and power-up, the switch will enter a warm-up period (usually 30-60 seconds) during which the light may turn on and off. Once the warm-up is complete, the sensor is ready for operation.

To access the adjustment dials, gently lift the small cover located above the sensor lens on the front panel.

• TIME Adjustment: This dial controls the duration the light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed. The adjustable lighting duration ranges from a minimum of 10 seconds to a maximum of 7 minutes. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the duration and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
• LUX Adjustment: This dial controls the ambient light threshold at which the sensor becomes active. It distinguishes between day and night. The sensor reacts to brightness from 3 to 2000 lux.
  • Turn towards the 'sun' symbol (higher LUX value) for the sensor to activate the light only when it is brighter (e.g., during the day, but still dark enough for the set threshold).
  • Turn towards the 'moon' symbol (lower LUX value) for the sensor to activate the light only when it is darker (e.g., only at night).

The sensor has a detection range of up to 9 meters and a detection angle of 160 degrees. Ensure the sensor is not obstructed and is positioned to cover the desired area.

7. Maintenance

The revolt Automatic Switch requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: To clean the surface of the switch, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the device.
• Sensor Lens: Keep the sensor lens clean and free from dust or obstructions to ensure optimal detection performance.
• Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
