1. Product Overview
The EMOS G1240 is a waterproof surface-mounted Passive Infrared (PIR) motion detector designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. It detects moving objects, primarily people, within its detection field by sensing their body heat. Upon detection, it activates a connected device, such as lighting or an alarm, for a user-defined duration.

2. Key Features
- Detection Range: Up to 12 meters.
- Detection Angle: 180 degrees.
- Ingress Protection: IP65 rated, suitable for outdoor use.
- Light Sensitivity (LUX): Adjustable from 3 lux to 2000 lux (daylight).
- Activation Duration (TIME): Adjustable from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
- Maximum Load: 600 W.
- Compatibility: LED compatible.
- Mounting: Surface mount (wall or ceiling).
- Adjustable Sensor Lens: The sensor lens can be pivoted for optimal coverage.

3. Setup and Installation
This motion detector is designed for surface mounting on walls or ceilings. Professional installation is recommended for electrical wiring. Ensure power is disconnected before installation.
3.1 Mounting
- Choose a suitable mounting location, considering the 180-degree detection angle and 12-meter range. Avoid placing near heat sources or direct sunlight, which can cause false triggers.
- Secure the base of the detector to the chosen surface using appropriate screws and anchors.
- Connect the electrical wiring according to local electrical codes and the wiring diagram provided in the full product documentation (not included here).
- Attach the main sensor unit to the mounted base.

3.2 Adjusting Settings
The EMOS G1240 features two adjustable dials for customizing its operation:
- LUX (Light Sensitivity): This dial controls the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active. Turn towards the sun icon for activation in brighter conditions (up to 2000 lux) or towards the moon icon for activation only in darker conditions (down to 3 lux).
- TIME (Activation Duration): This dial sets how long the connected device remains active after motion is detected. Adjust from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.

The sensor lens can be pivoted to fine-tune the detection area. Adjust it carefully to cover the desired zone and avoid unwanted triggers.
4. Operating Instructions
Once installed and configured, the EMOS G1240 motion detector operates automatically. When motion is detected within its 180-degree field and 12-meter range, and the ambient light level meets the set LUX threshold, the connected device (e.g., light) will activate. The device will remain active for the duration set by the TIME dial. If motion is continuously detected, the timer will reset, keeping the device active until no motion is detected for the set duration.
5. Maintenance
The EMOS G1240 is designed for durability with its IP65 rating. Regular maintenance is minimal:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct detection. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Occasionally check the mounting and wiring for any signs of wear or damage, especially for outdoor installations.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your EMOS G1240 motion detector, consider the following:
- Device not activating:
- Check power supply to the detector and connected device.
- Verify LUX setting: If it's set too high (towards sun icon), it may not activate in dim conditions. Adjust towards the moon icon.
- Ensure no obstructions are blocking the sensor's field of view.
- Confirm wiring connections are secure.
- Device always on or activating too frequently:
- Adjust LUX setting: If it's set too low (towards moon icon), it might be activating in daylight. Adjust towards the sun icon.
- Adjust TIME setting: Reduce the activation duration if it stays on too long.
- Reposition the sensor lens to avoid detecting unwanted movement (e.g., passing traffic, swaying branches).
- Check for heat sources (e.g., vents, direct sunlight) that might be causing false triggers.
- Short detection range:
- Ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed.
- Verify mounting height and angle are optimal for the desired coverage.
