5. Installation

5.1 Choosing an Installation Location

Select a location that provides optimal detection coverage and is within the recommended installation height of 1.8 to 2.5 meters. Avoid placing the sensor near heat sources, air conditioning vents, or areas with direct sunlight, as these can cause false triggers. Ensure the sensor has a clear line of sight to the area you wish to monitor.

5.2 Mounting the Sensor

1. Disconnect Power: Before starting, ensure the main power supply to the installation area is switched off at the circuit breaker.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the sensor in the desired mounting position and mark the locations for the mounting screws.
3. Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points. Insert the provided wall plugs into the drilled holes.
4. Secure Sensor: Attach the sensor to the surface using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly secured.

5.3 Wiring the Sensor

The sensor comes with a 0.5m cable for connection. Follow local electrical codes and the wiring diagram provided with your specific lighting fixture. Typically, the sensor will be wired in series with the live wire of the light fixture. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about the wiring process.

• Connect the Live (L) wire from the power supply to the sensor's input Live terminal.
• Connect the Neutral (N) wire from the power supply to the sensor's input Neutral terminal.
• Connect the sensor's output Live terminal to the Live (L) terminal of your light fixture.
• Connect the Neutral (N) terminal of your light fixture to the Neutral (N) wire from the power supply.

Note: The sensor is designed for AC power (230 Volts).

6. Operation and Settings

After installation and power restoration, the sensor will enter a warm-up period (usually a few seconds) during which it may activate randomly. Once warmed up, it will operate according to its settings.

6.1 Adjusting Ambient Light Sensitivity (LUX)

The sensor features a twilight switch to control activation based on ambient light. Locate the LUX adjustment dial on the sensor. Rotate the dial to set the desired light level for activation:

• 'Sun' symbol: Sensor activates at any light level (day and night).
• 'Moon' symbol: Sensor activates only in low light conditions (dusk/night).

6.2 Adjusting Illumination Duration (TIME)

The TIME adjustment dial controls how long the connected lights remain on after motion is detected and before the sensor resets. Rotate the dial to set the desired duration:

• Settings typically range from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
• Start with a shorter duration and adjust as needed for your application.

6.3 Adjusting Detection Range (SENS)

Some models may include a SENS (Sensitivity) dial to adjust the detection range. If present, rotate this dial to increase or decrease the sensor's detection distance (up to 12 meters).

7. Maintenance

The Ledvion Motion Sensor requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens and casing with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Regularly check the sensor for any signs of damage or loose connections.
• Environmental Factors: Ensure the detection area remains clear of obstructions that could block the sensor's view or cause false triggers (e.g., swaying branches, large moving objects).
