• User Manual (this document)

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your motion sensor:

1. Choose a Location: Select a mounting location that provides the desired detection area. Consider factors such as direct sunlight, heat sources, and moving objects (e.g., trees, traffic) that might cause false triggers. The sensor can be mounted on a wall or ceiling.
2. Power Disconnection: Before beginning any electrical work, ensure the main power supply to the installation area is switched off at the circuit breaker.
3. Mounting:
   • Mark the drilling points on the wall or ceiling using the sensor's base as a template.
   • Drill holes and insert wall plugs if necessary.
   • Secure the sensor's base to the mounting surface using the provided screws.
4. Wiring: Connect the electrical wires according to the wiring diagram provided with the product. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

   Note: This device requires a 220V power supply.
5. Adjusting Sensor Angle: The sensor head can be adjusted horizontally by +/- 180 degrees and vertically by +/- 90 degrees to optimize the detection area.

6. Power Restoration: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.

5. Operating Instructions

The Maclean MCE241 B PIR Motion Sensor can be configured using the integrated dials and the included remote control.

5.1. Manual Adjustments (Dials)

The sensor features two adjustable dials, typically located on the underside or side of the unit:

• LUX (Light Sensitivity): This dial controls the ambient light level at which the sensor will activate.
  • Turn towards the "sun" symbol (high LUX value) for activation only in bright conditions (e.g., daytime).
  • Turn towards the "moon" symbol (low LUX value) for activation in darker conditions (e.g., dusk or night).
  • The range is typically from 3 LUX (dark) to 300 LUX (bright).
• TIME (Time Delay): This dial sets how long the connected light or device remains on after motion is no longer detected.
  • Adjust from 10 seconds to 30 minutes.
  • If motion is detected again before the set time expires, the timer will reset and restart from the moment the new motion signal is registered.

5.2. Remote Control Functions

The included remote control provides convenient adjustment of various settings without needing to access the sensor unit directly.

6. Maintenance

The Maclean MCE241 B PIR Motion Sensor requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Regularly check the mounting and wiring for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Lens Obstruction: Ensure the sensor lens is not obstructed by dirt, spiderwebs, or vegetation, as this can impair its detection capabilities.

Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
