GIMB Batten Mount PIR Detector

Overview

Image of the GIMB miniature PIR detector, showing its compact cylindrical shape with a lens at one end and a threaded base with wires at the other.

The GIMB miniature PIR (passive infrared) presence detector provides automatic control of lighting loads. It is specifically designed for mounting onto a batten style luminaire.

The detector will switch incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent, and LED lighting.

The unit detects movement using a PIR sensor and turns the load on. When an area is no longer occupied, the load will switch off after a 10-minute time-out period.

A selection of fixing washers are supplied to aid fixing to a variety of luminaires.

Detection Diagram

Diagram illustrating the detection pattern of the PIR sensor. It shows a cone-shaped detection area projected from the sensor, with labels indicating 'high sensitivity' and 'low sensitivity'. The diagram also shows dimensions like 9m and 14m, representing potential detection distances at different heights.

Note: Illustration shows an average of the walk across and walk towards figures below.

Walk Across

Small illustrations depicting a person walking across the sensor, indicating how movement is detected at different distances and heights.

Walk Towards

Small illustrations depicting a person walking towards the sensor, indicating how movement is detected at different distances and heights.

Installation

Do not grip the unit at the lens end. Hold the square body near the threaded end when installing and tightening the nut. Care must be taken to prevent damage to the lens and surrounding IP seal.

Components

Mounting Hole Dimensions

Diagrams showing the dimensions of the mounting hole required for the detector.

• Mounting hole without key: 17mm diameter.
• Mounting hole with key: 17mm diameter, with a key feature measuring 9mm by 2mm. Note: Key to be at the top of the sensor.

Luminaire Fitting

Schematic illustrations showing the detector being fitted to luminaires.

Standard Luminaire Fitting

Illustration shows the detector being fitted to a standard luminaire, with the M20 nut and optional IP spacer.

IP Luminaire Fitting

Illustration shows the detector being fitted to an IP-rated luminaire, demonstrating the use of the M20 nut, optional 5° washer, Silicone washer, and optional IP spacer to ensure an IP rating.

Important: Ensure that the Silicone washer and/or the IP spacer are used to ensure IP rating.

Note: Use the 5° spacers where the luminaire housing has a draft angle.

Installation Site Requirements

The product is designed to be mounted directly to the outside of a luminaire. The detector should be sited so that the occupants of the room fall inside the detection pattern (shown opposite), at a recommended ceiling height of 2.8m. Note that the lower the sensor is installed, the smaller the detection range will be, subject to the parameters shown on the detection diagram.

• Do not site within 1m of forced air heating or ventilation.
• Do not fix to a vibrating surface.

Wiring Diagram

A schematic wiring diagram showing the connections for the PIR detector.

• NEUTRAL: BLUE wire
• LIVE IN: BROWN wire
• LIVE / OUT: BLACK wire

The diagram shows connections to NEUTRAL, LIVE IN, LIVE / OUT, LOAD, and CIRCUIT PROTECTION (IF REQUIRED).

Power-up Test Procedure

• When power is applied to the unit, the load will turn on immediately.
• For the first 5 minutes of operation, the time-out period is 10 seconds to aid commissioning.
• Vacate the room or remain very still for more than 10 seconds and wait for the load to switch off.
• Check that the load switches on when movement is detected.
• When the 5 minutes have elapsed, the time-out will be 10 minutes.

Fault Finding

What if the load does not turn ON?

• Check that the live supply to the circuit is good.
• Check that the load is functioning by bypassing the sensor (e.g., link L and L/Out).

What if the load does not turn OFF?

• Ensure that the area is left unoccupied for longer than the 10-minute time-out period.
