Setup
- Preparation: Ensure the main power supply is turned off before beginning installation.
- Mounting: Choose a suitable location for the sensor, ideally between 1.5m and 3.5m high, ensuring it has a clear line of sight to the desired detection area. Mount the sensor securely to a wall or ceiling using appropriate screws and anchors (not included).
- Wiring: Connect the live (L), neutral (N), and load (L') wires according to the wiring diagram provided on the device or in the packaging. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. The sensor requires a 220-240V AC power supply.
- Power On: Once wiring is complete and secure, restore power to the circuit. The sensor may go through a brief self-test period.
Operating
The Maclean MCE137 sensor features three adjustable knobs for fine-tuning its operation:
- LUX (Light Sensitivity): This knob controls the ambient light level at which the sensor will activate.
- Turn towards '3' (moon symbol) for activation only in low light conditions (e.g., night).
- Turn towards '2000' (sun symbol) for activation in all light conditions (day and night).
- SENS (Sensitivity/Detection Range): This knob adjusts the detection range of the sensor.
- Turn towards '-' for a shorter detection range (e.g., 2 meters).
- Turn towards '+' for a longer detection range (e.g., up to 16 meters).
- TIME (Time Delay): This knob sets how long the connected load remains active after motion is last detected.
- Turn towards '10s' for a shorter delay (10 seconds).
- Turn towards '12min' for a longer delay (12 minutes).
Maintenance
- Clean the sensor's surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the sensor lens is free from dust or obstructions for optimal performance.
- Periodically check wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
Troubleshooting
- Light does not turn on:
- Check power supply.
- Verify wiring connections.
- Adjust LUX setting (ensure it's not set too low for current light conditions).
- Adjust SENS setting (increase sensitivity).
- Ensure no obstructions are blocking the sensor's field of view.
- Light stays on:
- Check if there is continuous motion within the detection area.
- Adjust TIME setting (reduce delay).
- Reduce SENS setting to narrow the detection area.
- Sensor detects motion intermittently:
- Adjust SENS setting (increase sensitivity).
- Ensure the sensor is mounted at the recommended height and angle.
- Check for environmental factors like strong air currents or heat sources that might interfere.
