ECO-SPOT AND ECO-FLOOD MANUAL OVERRIDE FUNCTION No. 35
Date: 11//15 Issue:01

Manual Override function on LHT0096/97/98 (Eco Spot) and LHT0099 Eco Flood

The circuitry of these units has been designed to overcome failings which are present in `old-era' products.

These failings include false manual override latching caused by power `brown-outs', where the product latches on and will remain on indefinitely for days or weeks, day and night, until the unit is switched off manually. The same symptoms will also occur where the lights have been latched on by the user and they have subsequently forgotten to switch them back into sensor mode.

In order to overcome both the above scenarios the circuitry has been modified to include the following remedies:

1)

The manual override function has been linked to the daylight sensor function so that the lights cannot remain

latched on in daylight hours.

2)

The sensor requires a `double-pulse' signal before it will latch into manual override mode, overcoming the

`brown-out' problem (the sensor requires a double off/on signal to initiate the override function).

3)

It is possible to switch the sensor into the override mode during the daytime, but the lights will not illuminate until

dusk (if you want the lights left on for visitors, or want the house to have a `lived-in' look until you arrive home).

4)

If the lights have been switched into `manual override' mode and remain on for the whole night, they will reset

into `sensor-only' mode when it becomes daylight. The lights will switch off in the morning and when it becomes dark

again the lights will not latch on in override mode but will be in `sensor-only' mode, responding to movement. This

overcomes the possibility of the user going away for several days and leaving the lights latched on every night.

5)

It is not possible to switch into manual override from the `power off ' situation. This overcomes `operator confusion'

problems. If the user switches on/off/on several times from the `power off' position, the sensor will always end up in

`sensor only' operation.

6)

The circuitry has also been modified to create a slight `pause-period' between switching cycles. This is an

approximately 2 second period between the time the light switches off and the time the sensor responds to further

movement. This `blank period' overcomes problems inherent in old technology models, whereby the lights were able

to reflect back off a shiny surface into the sensor. The result of this was that the sensor could respond to the light

disappearing in the same manner as it would to heat movement- when the light switched off the sensor interpreted it as

movement and switched the lights back on. This would result in a continuous off/on cycling of the lights. This 2-second

delay feature is apparent during the `walk-test' set-up and should be taken into account at that time, ie: pause for a few

seconds when the lights switch off before moving again.

The above may at first appear confusing but these examples will help you to understand the logic of these intelligent features.

a)

The lights have been operating in sensor mode, but the user is going out during the afternoon and would like

the lights latched on when darkness falls, to give the appearance of someone being home or else to light the path for

when they return after dark They flick the switch off/on/off/on before they leave home and the sensor will be latched into

override mode. The lights will remain unlit during the daylight hours, but will light as soon as dusk falls. The lights will

then remain on until the user comes home and resets them, by switching off/on once only.

b)

If the above example is repeated but the user forgets to switch the lights off when they return home, the lights

will automatically switch off when daylight appears. In addition to this, the sensor will automatically reset from the

manual override mode into sensor mode. This ensures that the lights will not inadvertently remain in the override mode

and switch on for the whole night the next evening. Instead, they will be in the normal sensor mode, ready to detect

movement as soon as dusk settles.

Ducting Insulation Tips

No. 56
Date: 10/17 Issue:02

Duct layout It is recommended that when connecting duct to stretch the duct as long and straight as possible. This will provide improved airflow and optimise fan performance. The more bends the duct has, the greater the resistance to airflow. Excess duct should be cut off to ensure the duct is fully extended and tight.

Correct Duct Installation (Recommended)

Incorrect Duct Installation (Not Recommended)

Connecting Insulated Duct When connecting Insulated Ducting you need to tape both the inner and the outer sleeve of the duct. This ensures the system is installed to offer the least amount of airflow resistance and optimum performance levels. Taping only the outer sleeve is likely to result in the inner duct obstructing the airflow of the system. This is particularly important with Acoustic Ducting.

Follow the 3 steps below:
1 Secure the `CORE' to the spigot with duct tape.

2 Pull the `INSULATION' up to the join

3 Tape the `OUTER SLEEVE" to the spigot with the duct tape.

Duct Connectors When connecting two lengths of duct we strongly recommend the use of a `Duct Joiner'. Using a duct joiner will help to ensure the duct is connected securely, and will not collapse over time. It is the ONLY way to correctly join two lengths of duct and maintain long term performance. This is particularly important when connecting insulated duct.

OVERRIDE SWITCHING FOR SENSORS

No. 66
Date: 11//17 Issue:02

Occasionally it is reported that consumers cannot put their sensors or sensor lights into Override mode. For instance, the customer may try flicking the switch off/on/off/on within 2 seconds as required, however the light simply comes on, and goes off immediately, followed by the sensor going back to sensing mode.
We have found that some switches do not operate at a speed sufficient to put these sensors and sensor lights into Override mode.
Whenever an override problem is encountered, please check that the switch is of the newer type. This would most likely be manufactured after 1990.
Another main cause for Override mode error is user speed, i.e. flicking the switch too quickly or too slowly.
See bulletin No. 80 for more info on Auto/Manual Switching Methods

Securimax strives to offer innovative products that meet market demands, so please continue to send through any suggestions you have on how we can further improve & develop the Simx range.

KD INLINE MIXED FLOW FANS
The KD range of fans will not be in future catalogues, however it will be available as an indent item, on a 14 week lead time as it currently is.
If you receive enquiries for this product, unless it is for replacement of an existing KD fan then offer an alternative ex stock fan. Although the KD series list higher air volumes for diameter, with duct fans the performance airflows with no pressure do not reflect the actual airflows achieved once ducting, filters, inlet grilles and outlet grills are added to a system. With these factors considered our other existing stocked products become more attractive.

MAXIMUM LED SWITCHING LOADS FOR SIMX SENSORS No. 79
Date: 29/06/16 Issue:01
The relays that govern switching maximums on our Simx sensors were originally designed when switching incandescent and halogen loads were the norm.
Since the proliferation of LED products, some changes were required, as the existing relays could only handle very small LED loads.
This project has now been completed and the new maximum switching loads are listed as below. It is important to note that this is the maximum switching load without use of a remote contactor. When a contactor is added to the circuit, this allows the installer to exceed maximum rated load, because the load is being switched externally to the sensor relay.

SENSORLIGHT SWITCHING ISSUES

No. 81

Date: 21/09/17 Issue:01
Sensorlight Switching Issues for the SIMX Sensor Light Range

Are your Sensor Lights coming off and on when there is no one outside, even with the sensitivity adjusted right down? Here is why it may happen and how to fix it.

Two reasons this may occur. One is electrical, the other environmental.
· If electrical, the relay inside the sensor may be `misbehaving' leading to intermittent triggering for no particular reason. This is a rare occurrence but can sometimes happen. This is a product fault, and Simx gladly replace through our normal warranty process.
· If environmental, this is more prevalent during changes of season when the weather is more wild and variable. We commonly get a rise in fault inquiries on this topic in late Autumn and early Spring. The only way to be sure for this location is to assess performance during stable, calm weather conditions. If this is the cause, then with calmer weather the sensor stabilises it's operation again.

As PIR sensors are looking for changes in heat signatures, blustery winds generate patchy air temperature fluctuations more than in Summer and Winter. The optimum range setting to compensate for all seasons is generally at halfway on that dial. This applies to all exterior sensors.
What can you do?
Firstly, reset the Range dial to halfway. To help mitigate those blustery conditions, try angling the sensor head about 20-25 degrees lower, or if you don't want to re-aim, by placing a covering strip across the top 5-8mm of the sensor lens (electrical insulation tape is a good trial for this or use the lens mask supplied with the light), both of which can assist in solving the random triggering.

SUMMER FEATURE FOR SMARTVENT POSITIVE SYSTEMS No. 082
Date: 03/19
Summer Feature operation for SV01P, SV02P, SV04P and SV06P systems
After installing the summer feature components and setting the DIP switch, the fFan Mode Maximum and *Heat Transfer Option functions are to be disabled. The Fan Mode Maximum function is used to reduce or stop air supply into the ventilated spaces when the ceiling temperature rises above the set System Maximum Temperature, particularly during the warmer summer months. Alternatively, a summer feature is installed to draw cooler air from the outside when the ceiling temperature rises above the set System Maximum Temperature. The summer feature is an automatic function, and its operation requires that the Fan Mode Maximum function be disabled. Leaving the Fan Mode Maximum function "active" (i.e. Fan Low or Fan Off) will prevent the system from switching to the summer feature as the Fan Mode Maximum function overrides the summer feature. Refer to page 19 of the Keypad Controller User Manual for steps on how to disable the Fan Mode Maximum function. If both the summer and heat transfer features are installed, then Heat Transfer Option should be disabled as well. Refer to page 21 of the Keypad Controller User Manual for steps on how to disable the Heat Transfer option. * if a heat transfer feature is installed
