Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing an Intelbras product, known for its quality and safety. The Intelbras ESPi 180 E+ recessed motion sensor, designed for 4x2" junction boxes, features a photo-cell and a manual override button. It is used for automatic activation of lights in residential and commercial environments. The ESPi 180 E+ detects the movement of warm bodies – people, medium to large animals, and objects – and also allows manual light activation via a button. This product combines practicality, energy savings, and security.
Precautions and Safety
- Install the sensor in an indoor environment, protected from rain and sun, away from heat and ventilation sources like air conditioners and fans.
- Do not install the product in areas with vibration.
- For your safety, do not open the product under any circumstances.
- The sensor's sensitivity is higher for movements perpendicular to it.
- Avoid configuring the minimum activation time for lamps with ballasts. This measure prevents premature lamp wear.
- Requires the use of a Phillips or flat-head screwdriver for installation.

Configurations
To configure the sensor, remove the front cover. The ESPi 180 E+ sensor configurations are made via three jumpers: one for time, one for the photo-cell, and one for sensitivity adjustment. However, these configurations only apply to the sensor's operation in Automatic mode. The equipment's operating mode depends on the button's position, allowing the lamp to be always on, always off, or in Automatic mode. Refer to the figure below.
The diagram shows the sensor's front cover, button, body, installation terminals, and configuration jumpers. It illustrates the placement of jumpers for time, photo-cell, and sensitivity settings.
Sensor Functions via Button
The ESPi 180 E+ sensor allows selection of the equipment's operating mode, as per the table below:
| Button Label | Function |
|---|---|
| [Off] (0) | Lamp always off |
| [Automatic] (=) | Lamp activated by sensor (Automatic mode) |
| [Always On] (I) | Lamp always on |
Photo-cell Adjustable by Jumper
The photo-cell configuration only works when the equipment is in Automatic mode. The user can select, via a jumper, whether the sensor operates independently of ambient light or only in low light conditions (night).
- [Sun] position: The equipment operates regardless of light conditions, day or night.
- [Moon] position: The sensor operates only when light conditions are low (at night).
- Intermediate positions (Clear Penumbra, Dark Penumbra): These modes act as a middle ground between [Sun] and [Moon], activating the lamp with movement when the environment is partially light or partially dark.
- [Photo-cell Only] position: The presence sensor is deactivated, keeping the lamp always on during the night and off during the day, irrespective of presence detection.
Illustrates jumper positions for photo-cell adjustment: [Sun], [Clear Penumbra], [Dark Penumbra], [Moon], and [Photo-cell Only]. The [Photo-cell Only] setting is described as "Always on during the night and off during the day."
Time Adjustable by Jumper
The time configuration only functions in Automatic mode and determines how long the lamp stays on after the last detected movement. The time can be selected via a jumper in 5 levels: 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes. The jumper can also be set to the [Presence Simulator] function, where the lamp activates at random intervals during the night.
Shows jumper positions for time adjustment: 10s, 30s, 1m, 5m, 10m, and [Presence Simulator]. The diagram also shows the sensitivity adjustment (Min/Max) and photo-cell jumper.
Each time movement is detected, the activation time will reset to the selected duration. The sensor will only turn off the lamp after the adjusted time has passed and no further movement is detected within that interval.
Adjustable Sensitivity
The sensor's sensitivity adjustment allows for increased responsiveness to infrared variations in the installation environment.
- [Max] sensitivity: The sensor detects presence at greater distances and is more sensitive to the movement of small warm bodies nearby.
- [Min] sensitivity: The sensor detects presence at shorter distances and is less sensitive to small bodies in its proximity.
Installation and Tests
Before starting electrical installation, turn off the circuit breaker for the circuit where the installation will take place.
- Before making electrical connections, verify the installation point height. After verifying the height, make the electrical connections as shown in the figure below:
- Detach the front cover of the ESPi 180 E+ sensor to allow fixing the sensor body into the 4x2" junction box (switch box), according to the illustration below:
- Before fitting the front cover, configure the photo-cell and time settings to your preference. For initial testing, it is important to set the photo-cell to the [Sun] position (day and night). Adjustments can be made after testing. Set the button to the Automatic mode position [Automatic] (0).
- To test, attach the front cover to the sensor body already fixed in the 4x2" box, turn on the power, and wait approximately 30 seconds for initial device energization. During this phase, the lamp will turn on and then turn off once initial energization is complete. To test its functionality, simply move near the sensor to make the lamp turn on again for the duration selected by the user (10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes).
- After testing the Automatic mode, test the Manual modes. Set the button to the [Always On] position (=) and verify the lamp turns on. Do the same for the [Lamp Always Off] position (-) and verify the lamp is off. After these tests, return the button to the [Automatic] mode position (0).
