4. Setup and Installation
The Luxa 103 S360-100-28 AP WH is designed for ceiling mount installation and requires a corded electric power source.
4.1 Mounting Location
Choose a central location on the ceiling that provides an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored. Avoid mounting near heat sources, direct sunlight, or areas with significant air drafts, as these can interfere with detection.
4.2 Wiring
- Ensure the main power supply to the installation area is turned OFF at the circuit breaker.
- Carefully open the device housing to access the wiring terminals.
- Connect the power supply wires (Live, Neutral, and Earth) to the corresponding terminals as indicated on the device's internal diagram.
- Connect the load wires (e.g., to lighting fixtures) to the appropriate output terminals.
- Secure all connections firmly.
4.3 Final Installation
- Securely attach the device base to the ceiling using appropriate screws and anchors.
- Close the device housing, ensuring it is properly sealed.
- Restore power to the circuit.
- Allow a brief warm-up period (typically a few minutes) for the detector to stabilize.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and powered, the Luxa 103 S360-100-28 AP WH Presence Detector will automatically begin monitoring its detection area. The device is designed for continuous operation.
5.1 Detection Area
The detector offers a specific detection pattern optimized for corridor or rectangular areas. Understanding this pattern is crucial for effective operation.

Figure 5.1: Detection area diagram. The arrows indicate the optimal detection directions for movement. The diagram illustrates a typical detection range of 14 meters in length and 5 meters in width when mounted at a height of 3 meters.
Movement perpendicular to the sensor (across the corridor) is typically detected more effectively than movement directly towards or away from the sensor (frontal). Adjust the mounting height and position to optimize coverage for your specific application.
5.2 Sensitivity and Time Delay
Depending on the model variant, the detector may have adjustable sensitivity and time delay settings. Refer to the specific product documentation or internal labels for details on how to adjust these parameters, if available. These settings control how easily motion is detected and how long the connected load remains active after detection ceases.
6. Maintenance
The Luxa 103 S360-100-28 AP WH Presence Detector requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the outer casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the device.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the device for any visible damage, loose connections, or signs of wear. If any issues are found, disconnect power and contact a qualified electrician for repair or replacement.
- Environmental Factors: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to prolong the device's lifespan.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your presence detector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not responding / No detection | No power; Incorrect wiring; Sensor obstructed; Warm-up period not complete. | Check power supply; Verify wiring connections; Remove obstructions; Wait for warm-up (approx. 1-2 minutes). |
| Lights/Load stay on constantly | Continuous presence detected; Faulty wiring; Device malfunction. | Ensure no continuous movement in detection zone; Check wiring; If problem persists, contact support. |
| Lights/Load turn off too quickly | Time delay set too short; Insufficient sensitivity; Obstruction. | Adjust time delay setting; Increase sensitivity; Clear any obstructions. |
| False triggers | Heat sources (HVAC vents, direct sunlight); Pets; Vibrations; High sensitivity. | Relocate device away from heat sources; Adjust sensitivity; Ensure stable mounting. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact qualified technical support.
