5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare for Installation: Before starting, ensure the main power supply to the installation area is switched off at the circuit breaker.
- Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable outdoor wall for surface mounting. Consider the desired detection area and avoid locations directly exposed to strong sunlight, heat sources (e.g., vents), or rapidly changing temperatures, which can cause false triggers. The recommended mounting height is 1.8m - 2.5m.
- Mounting the Base:
- Carefully open the motion detector housing.
- Use the base of the detector as a template to mark the drilling points on the wall.
- Drill holes at the marked points. Insert appropriate wall plugs if necessary.
- Secure the detector's base firmly to the wall using screws.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the electrical wires to the terminal block inside the detector. This device requires a 3-wire connection.
- Connect the Live wire (L) from the power supply.
- Connect the Neutral wire (N) from the power supply.
- Connect the Switched Live wire (L') to your light fixture.

- Close Housing: Carefully close the detector housing, ensuring no wires are pinched.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore the main power supply.

6. Operating Instructions and Adjustments
The motion detector features two adjustable dials for customizing its operation:
Image 6.1: Close-up view of the 'TIME' and 'LUX' adjustment dials on the motion detector.
6.1. TIME Adjustment (Illumination Duration)
The 'TIME' dial controls how long the connected light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed. The duration can be set from approximately 10 seconds to 7 minutes.
- Turn the dial clockwise (+) for a longer illumination duration.
- Turn the dial counter-clockwise (-) for a shorter illumination duration.
6.2. LUX Adjustment (Ambient Brightness Sensitivity)
The 'LUX' dial determines the ambient light level at which the motion detector will activate. It can be set from 3 lux (dark) to 2000 lux (daylight).
- Turn the dial towards the sun icon for activation in brighter conditions (e.g., during the day).
- Turn the dial towards the moon icon for activation only in darker conditions (e.g., at night).
6.3. Adjusting the Sensor Head
The sensor head can be manually swiveled vertically by 300° to fine-tune the detection area. Adjust it to cover the desired zone and avoid areas where unwanted triggers might occur (e.g., public pathways, moving foliage).

7. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your motion detector:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the sensor lens and the outer casing with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface or the sensor.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness and ensure the housing remains securely closed. Inspect the wiring for any signs of wear or damage.
- Environmental Factors: Keep the detection area clear of obstructions like growing plants or debris that could interfere with the sensor's operation.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your motion detector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on when motion is detected. |
|
|
| Light stays on continuously or turns on randomly. |
|
|
| Detection range is poor or inconsistent. |
|
|
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact SEBSON customer support.
