2. Safety Information
Please read all safety instructions before installing or operating the sensor. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or property damage.
- Electrical Hazard: Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
- Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before performing any wiring or service.
- Voltage Requirement: This device requires a 24 Volt power pack. Do not connect to higher voltage supplies.
- Indoor Use Only: This sensor is designed for indoor use in dry locations. Do not expose to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Mounting: Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and can support the weight of the sensor.
3. Setup and Installation
The OSRAM Encelium SCP-0450 sensor is designed for ceiling mount installation. Proper placement is crucial for optimal performance.
3.1 Choosing an Installation Location
- Select a central location on the ceiling to maximize the 360-degree sensing angle and 450 feet of coverage.
- Avoid placing the sensor near heat sources (e.g., HVAC vents, incandescent lights) or in direct sunlight, as these can cause false triggers.
- Ensure there are no obstructions (e.g., tall shelves, partitions) that could block the sensor's line of sight to the detection area.
3.2 Wiring Instructions
- Turn off power: Before beginning any wiring, ensure power to the circuit is OFF at the breaker.
- Prepare wiring: Route the 24V low-voltage wiring from the required 24V power pack to the chosen ceiling mount location.
- Connect wires: Connect the sensor's wires to the 24V power pack output according to the wiring diagram provided with your power pack. Typically, this involves connecting the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Refer to the specific wiring diagram for your Encelium system components.
- Secure connections: Ensure all wire connections are secure and properly insulated.
3.3 Mounting the Sensor
- Attach mounting bracket: Secure the sensor's mounting bracket (if applicable, typically integrated) to the ceiling using appropriate screws and anchors.
- Position sensor: Carefully attach the sensor body to the mounting bracket, ensuring it is firmly seated.
- Verify orientation: Ensure the sensor is oriented correctly for optimal coverage of the desired area.

4. Operating Instructions
The OSRAM Encelium SCP-0450 is a passive infrared (PIR) occupancy sensor. It operates by detecting changes in infrared radiation caused by the movement of people within its detection zone.
4.1 Powering On
Once installation and wiring are complete, restore power to the circuit at the breaker. The sensor will typically undergo a brief warm-up period (e.g., 30-60 seconds) during which it may not respond to motion or may exhibit inconsistent behavior. Refer to your Encelium system's main controller documentation for specific warm-up indicators.
4.2 Motion Detection
The sensor continuously monitors its 360-degree coverage area for motion. When motion is detected, it sends a signal to the connected Encelium lighting control system or other compatible devices. The system then responds according to its programmed settings (e.g., turning lights on, adjusting light levels).
The sensor's effectiveness is highest when detecting motion across its field of view rather than directly towards or away from it.
4.3 Coverage Area
The SCP-0450 provides up to 450 feet of coverage. The actual effective range can vary based on ceiling height, ambient temperature, and the type of motion being detected. For optimal performance, ensure the sensor is positioned to cover the primary areas of activity.
5. Maintenance
The OSRAM Encelium SCP-0450 sensor requires minimal maintenance to ensure continued optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the sensor lens with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the lens or internal components.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the sensor for any physical damage or loose connections. Ensure the mounting is secure.
- No User Serviceable Parts: The sensor contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit. Contact qualified personnel for service.
6. Troubleshooting
If the sensor is not performing as expected, review the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not detecting motion. |
|
|
| False triggers (lights turn on without motion). |
|
|
| Inconsistent detection. |
|
|
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact OSRAM technical support or a qualified service professional.
