EH403 Z-Wave LED Floodlight with PIR Motion Detector

Introduction

The EH403 is an outdoor security floodlight equipped with Z-Wave wireless communication capability. It features a PIR detector to detect motion through movement of heat sources and a lux sensor for determining brightness of its surroundings.

When not connected to a Z-Wave network, the EH403 operates as a standalone security floodlight. During darkness, its PIR detector turns on the 20W floodlight when it detects movement. A built-in timer turns off the floodlight after a preset time. During daylight, its lux sensor saves energy by deactivating the motion sensor and floodlight. The lux level and timer can be set via knobs on the device.

When added to a Z-Wave network, the EH403 communicates directly with other end devices or reports to a Z-Wave controller (gateway). It alerts the controller when motion is detected, and the controller can remotely turn the floodlight on/off or configure its lux level and timer settings. This product supports the S2 security protocol, requiring a security-enabled Z-Wave Plus Controller for full utilization of security features.

Adding to Z-Wave Network

Connecting the Power

Before mounting outdoors, it is recommended to power up the unit indoors for Z-Wave connection setup and preliminary tests.

1. Wire up the unit to a cable plug using a wiring fitting.

Follow the wire colors precisely:

• BROWN (Live) wire to the mains live connection.
• BLUE (Neutral) wire to the mains neutral connection.
• GREEN/YELLOW wire to the mains earth cable.

The wiring fitting diagram shows connections for L (Brown), N (Blue), and Earth (Green/Yellow).

Auto Inclusion

The unit supports Auto Inclusion, automatically entering inclusion mode when first powered up after a factory reset.

1. Prepare the Z-Wave controller.
2. Plug the cable plug into the wall socket to power up the unit.

WARNING: Be careful not to touch any exposed wires/contacts to prevent electrical shock.

4. The Link LED will blink slowly (2-second on, 2-second off for 2 minutes), indicating the unit is not paired.
5. Within 30 seconds, put the Z-Wave Controller into inclusion mode.
6. The inclusion process is complete when the Link LED stops blinking.

Note: If connecting to a Z-Wave Controller using S2 security, you may need to enter a 5-digit Device Specific Key (DSK) found on a QR code label or the insert card.

7. Turn on the floodlight using the controller to verify auto inclusion.

If Auto Inclusion fails, refer to the Troubleshooting section for Manual Inclusion.

Mounting the Unit

Choosing the location

The floodlight is recommended for outdoor installation under eaves or in other shaded areas, away from direct sunlight.

• Do not aim the PIR detector at windows or direct sunlight, as this may affect triggering response.
• Avoid aiming the PIR detector at pools, heating vents, air conditioners, or objects that change temperature.
• Avoid aiming the PIR detector at trees or shrubs where pet or animal movement might be detected.
• Mount the unit so an intruder's path crosses the fan pattern rather than moving directly towards the detector.

The 'PIR less sensitive' and 'PIR more sensitive' diagrams illustrate the detection pattern. The 'Top view' shows a fan-shaped detection area, with sensitivity decreasing further from the center. The 'Side view' indicates the vertical angle of detection. The text notes a 110-degree fan-shaped detection pattern up to 8 meters.

For best results, mount the floodlight onto brickwork 1.8-2.0m above the ground. At this height, the unit detects movement within its 110-degree fan-shaped pattern up to 8m, depending on adjustment.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

• DO NOT install when it is raining.
• Isolate the power supply before installation.
• Ensure local Wiring and Building regulations are complied with.
• The unit is supplied with a pre-wired supply cable; this must be used and not removed.
• Ensure the power supply is protected by a 6amp circuit breaker or 5amp fuse.
• Ensure a minimum distance of 2.0m away from lighted objects.
• The unit must be installed vertically with the PIR at the bottom.
• The unit can be corner mounted if preferred.

Installation & Wiring Instructions

1. Use the mounting bracket to mark the position of the mounting holes.
2. Drill the holes and insert suitable wall plugs.
3. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall using suitable screws.

Wiring Instructions

WARNING: Isolate the mains power supply to prevent electrical shock.

4. It is recommended to add an internal single pole wall switch for easy control.

The wiring diagram shows the floodlight's pre-wired cable connecting to AC POWER via Live (Brown wire), Neutral (Blue wire), and Earth connections. It also recommends an internal single pole wall switch.

5. Connect the mains power supply to the pre-wired cable. If the connection is made outdoors, a suitable waterproof IP box must be used.

Follow the wire colors precisely:

• BROWN (Live) wire to the mains live connection via a wall switch.
• BLUE (Neutral) wire to the mains neutral connection.
• GREEN/YELLOW wire to a suitable earth point. The unit must be earthed.

Note: Do not remove the pre-wired supply cable, as this will invalidate the warranty.

Operation

Initial Setup

1. When completed, turn the Time-Off knob to the 'T' mark and the Lux knob to the 'moon' mark.
2. Reinstate the power supply and switch on the wall switch (if installed).

When the PIR is triggered, the PIR LED blinks once, and the floodlight turns on for approximately 5 seconds, then turns off. The unit is now in 'test mode'.

Warm-Up

The PIR detector takes approximately 5 seconds to warm up after power-on. The floodlight will turn on during this period. Once the floodlight turns off, the warm-up is complete, and the PIR detector is ready.

Walk Test

Perform a walk test to ensure the PIR detector's range is within the desired area and to check Z-Wave controller communication.

1. Walk through the PIR detector's coverage area. The floodlight turns on when you move and turns off after approximately 5 seconds. Wait for it to turn off before moving again.
2. If necessary, tilt the floodlight for desired results. Tilting downwards up to 30° is possible. Tilting more than 30° may cause issues with the lux sensor due to reflected light.
3. Once satisfied with the coverage, set the desired Time period and Lux level.

Time and Lux Adjustment

You can set the Time period and Lux level via:

• The Z-Wave controller (if connected).
• Manually adjusting the knobs on the unit (if not connected).

(1) Time adjustment

The Time-off knob controls how long the floodlight stays on after motion is detected. Turning the knob towards '+' increases the duration (up to about 12 minutes); turning towards 'T' decreases it (down to about 8 seconds). A recommended setting is the midpoint (approximately 5 minutes).

The diagram shows the 'TIME' knob, labeled with 'T' for shorter duration and '+' for longer duration (up to 12 minutes), with a recommended setting around 5 minutes.

(2) Lux adjustment

The Lux adjustment sets the brightness threshold for motion sensor activation. The Lux control can be adjusted between 'T' (always triggered) and the moon symbol (triggered only during darkness). The adjustable Lux range is about 30-200 Lux.

The Lux adjustment diagram shows two states for the Lux knob: 'Always ON' (labeled 'LUX') and 'During hours of darkness' (labeled with a moon symbol).

1. To set the lux level, turn the Time-off knob to 'T' for maximum response.
2. Turn the LUX control knob to the 'moon' (dusk) position.
3. Wait until the ambient light level reaches the desired darkness for activation.
4. Slowly rotate the Lux knob anti-clockwise while creating motion until the floodlight turns on. This sets the activation point.
5. Set the Time-off knob back to the desired preset time.
6. Tighten the two Allen screws on the side of the floodlight body to secure its position.

Note: When connected to a Z-Wave controller, manual settings will be overwritten by controller settings.

Z-Wave Group

The unit supports two Z-Wave Association Groups:

• Group 1: Association with 1 Controller node.
• Group 2: Association with 4 nodes (e.g., smart plugs, lighting controllers). This allows the PIR detector to send commands directly to other Z-Wave end devices without the controller's participation. When the detector triggers, all associated devices operate.

The table below lists control commands sent from the controller:
