Installation
1. Mounting Location
Select a suitable mounting location that provides the desired coverage area for motion detection. Consider the following:
- Mount the detector at a height between 2.2 meters and 4 meters for optimal performance.
- Ensure there are no obstructions (e.g., large plants, furniture) that could block the sensor's field of view.
- Avoid mounting near heat sources (e.g., vents, air conditioning units, direct sunlight) or reflective surfaces, as these can cause false triggers.
- The 180° detection angle allows for wide coverage. Position the tiltable sensor head to focus on the primary area of interest.

2. Wiring
Warning: Electrical installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure power is disconnected at the mains before commencing any wiring work.
- Turn off the main power supply to the circuit where the detector will be installed.
- Carefully open the casing of the motion detector to access the wiring terminals.
- Connect the electrical wires according to the wiring diagram provided inside the unit or on the packaging. Typically, this involves connecting the Live (L), Neutral (N), and Switched Live (L') wires from your power supply and to the light fitting.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
- Close the detector casing securely, ensuring no wires are pinched.
- Restore power to the circuit.
Operation
Adjusting Settings
The motion detector features adjustable controls for time delay and light sensitivity (LUX). These controls are typically located on the unit, often under a protective cover or on the sensor head itself.
- Time Delay (TIME): This knob adjusts how long the connected light remains on after motion is no longer detected. Rotate the knob to set the desired duration, ranging from approximately 10 seconds to 7 minutes.
- Light Sensitivity (LUX): This knob determines the ambient light level at which the detector becomes active.
- Rotate towards the sun symbol (max LUX) for day and night operation. The light will activate with motion regardless of ambient light.
- Rotate towards the moon symbol (min LUX) for night-only operation. The light will only activate with motion when the ambient light level falls below a certain threshold (i.e., it's dark).
After adjusting the settings, perform a test walk-through to ensure the detector operates as desired in your specific environment.
Maintenance
- Periodically clean the sensor lens with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to ensure optimal detection performance. Dust or dirt on the lens can reduce sensitivity.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the unit's surface or sensor.
- Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of physical damage or wear to the casing and wiring. If damage is found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on with motion. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; LUX setting too high (daylight mode when it's dark); sensor obstructed; faulty bulb. | Check power supply and circuit breaker; verify wiring connections; adjust LUX setting towards the moon symbol for night operation; clear any obstructions from the sensor; check the connected light bulb. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Constant motion in the detection area; time delay set too long; wiring error (e.g., switched live permanently connected); faulty unit. | Remove sources of constant motion; adjust time delay to a shorter duration; re-check wiring; if issue persists, contact support. |
| Light turns on randomly (false triggers). | Heat sources (e.g., vents, air conditioning, direct sunlight, car engines) within detection range; small animals; sensor too sensitive; strong electromagnetic interference. | Relocate detector away from heat sources; adjust sensor angle to exclude unwanted areas; if sensitivity is adjustable, reduce it; ensure proper grounding. |
| Detection range is too short or inconsistent. | Incorrect mounting height; sensor obstructed; extreme temperatures; sensor lens dirty. | Verify mounting height is within recommended range (2.2m-4m); clear obstructions; clean sensor lens; ensure operating temperature is within product specifications. |
