Figure 4.2: Detailed view of the motion detector's adjustment controls. Labelled are the sensor (1), lighting time adjustment (2, TIME), photosensitivity adjustment (3, LUX), and the protective cover (4). These controls allow users to customize the device's operation.

• Sensor (1): Detects infrared radiation (heat) from moving objects.
• TIME Adjustment (2): Controls the duration the connected light remains on after motion is detected.
• LUX Adjustment (3): Sets the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active.
• Cover (4): Protects the wiring and mounting screws.

5. Specifications

Note: While some product data may indicate 'Battery Powered', this device is designed for direct electrical connection to a lighting circuit (AC 220-240V) for its primary function of controlling lights.

6. Installation

6.1 Choosing a Location

Select a suitable location for the motion detector, considering the following:

• Detection Area: Position the sensor to cover the desired area. The detector has a 180° working area and a range of up to 12 meters.
• Height: Optimal mounting height is typically 1.8 to 2.5 meters for effective detection.
• Obstructions: Avoid placing the sensor where large objects (trees, walls, vehicles) might block its field of view.
• Heat Sources: Do not point the sensor directly at heat sources, reflective surfaces, or areas with rapid temperature changes (e.g., exhaust vents, windows exposed to direct sunlight) to prevent false triggers.
• Movement: For best results, position the sensor so that movement occurs across its detection zones rather than directly towards or away from it.

6.2 Mounting the Device

1. Disconnect Power: Ensure the main power supply to the installation area is switched off at the circuit breaker.
2. Separate Base: Carefully open the motion detector to separate the mounting base from the main unit.
3. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the mounting base against the wall at the desired installation height and mark the drilling points.
4. Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points and insert the provided dowels.
5. Secure Base: Fasten the mounting base to the wall using the provided screws.

6.3 Wiring Instructions

WARNING: All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure power is disconnected before proceeding.

1. Access Terminal Block: With the mounting base secured, access the internal terminal block.
2. Connect Wires: Connect the electrical wires according to the diagram below.
• L (Phase/Hot): Connect the live wire (typically brown or black) to the 'L' terminal.
• N (Neutral/Ground): Connect the neutral wire (typically blue) to the 'N' terminal.
• A (Consumer/Lamp): Connect the switched live wire to the 'A' terminal. This wire goes to the light fixture or other load.
3. Secure Wiring: Ensure all wire connections are tight and secure.
4. Reassemble: Carefully reattach the main unit to the mounting base, ensuring no wires are pinched.

7. Setup and Configuration

After installation, you can adjust the sensor's settings using the 'TIME' and 'LUX' dials.

Figure 7.1: Adjustment dials for TIME and LUX settings. The 'TIME' dial controls the duration of illumination, while the 'LUX' dial determines the ambient light threshold for activation.

• TIME Adjustment:

  Rotate the 'TIME' dial to set how long the connected light remains on after motion is detected and stops. The range is approximately 10 seconds (minimum) to 7 minutes (maximum).

  • Turn clockwise for longer duration.
  • Turn counter-clockwise for shorter duration.
• LUX Adjustment:

  Rotate the 'LUX' dial to set the ambient light threshold. This determines at what level of darkness the sensor will activate the light.

  • Sun icon (max LUX): The sensor will activate the light both during the day and at night when motion is detected.
  • Moon icon (min LUX): The sensor will only activate the light when it is dark enough (e.g., at dusk or night) and motion is detected.

Testing: After adjusting, restore power and test the sensor's functionality by walking through its detection area at different times of day to ensure desired operation.

8. Operating the Motion Detector

Once installed and configured, the deleyCON MK3174 operates automatically:

• When motion is detected within its 180° field of view and up to 12 meters range, and the ambient light level is below the set LUX threshold, the connected light will switch on.
• The light will remain on for the duration set by the 'TIME' dial.
• If motion continues to be detected during the 'TIME' period, the timer will reset, and the light will stay on longer.
• After the set 'TIME' has elapsed and no further motion is detected, the light will automatically switch off.

9. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt that may obstruct detection. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the device for any signs of damage, loose wiring, or wear.
• Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power before performing any cleaning or inspection.
