Clipsal 753SSR Series Infrascan Passive Infrared Motion Sensor Surface-Mount
Installation Instructions
1.0 Product Range
The 753SSR Infrascan is a Passive Infrared Motion Sensor designed for Surface-Mount 3-Wire installations. It is available in Black and White Electric colour options.
2.0 Principle of Operation
Congratulations on purchasing the Clipsal Infrascan Surface-Mount Passive Infrared Motion Sensor. This high-quality product has been manufactured, tested, and packed with care. Please read these instructions carefully before installation to ensure prolonged, reliable, and trouble-free operation.
▲ Safety Warning: Installation involves working with the mains power supply. This work must be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable national wiring regulations and electrical operating conditions. Ensure time and lux level settings are selected with the lens in place.
This Passive Infrared Motion sensor switches on lights automatically when movement is detected. It uses pyro sensors to detect invisible heat emitted from moving objects (people, animals, etc.). The detected heat is converted into a signal that activates connected loads, such as lights.
3.0 Field of View
The Infrascan 753SSR offers a 360° field of view with a superior sensing range of 24m in diameter (12m radius) when mounted at 2.5m height. It provides high resolution through 1416 switching zones and 10 detection levels, enabling the detection of very small movements. A zone mask, included in the packaging, can be used to restrict the angle of coverage as required.

4.0 System Components and Installation
The system comprises the following components:
- 1. Concealed wiring
- 2. Surface wiring
- 3. Plug-in terminals
- 4. Basic element
- 5. Fitting the sensor cover
- 6. Fitting the zone mask
- 7. Screwing on the lens

Warning: The sensor operates at 240V. [electrical hazard]
The mains lead consists of a three-wire cable: L = Active, N = Neutral, PE = [Earth Symbol].
Installation Diagrams: Illustrate wiring configurations (concealed and surface), terminal connections, and the assembly process of the sensor components, including fitting the cover, zone mask, and lens.
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
- Install the sensor at least 50cm away from heat-emitting light sources to prevent false activation.
- The installer is responsible for maintaining the IP rating of the installed sensor. If the rubber seal is damaged, use an M16 or M20 double-seal cable gland for IP54 sealing. A condensation hole is provided and can be opened if necessary.
- The sensor does not detect heat through obstacles like walls or glass panes.
- Weather conditions such as strong wind, snow, rain, or hail may cause unintended activation due to rapid temperature changes.
- This unit is not suitable for burglar alarm systems as it is not tamper-proof.
- Clean the detector lens with a damp cloth; avoid aggressive cleaning agents.
Walking Direction
For maximum sensing range, install the Infrascan so that the movement direction is tangential (across the sensor's field of view) rather than radial (directly towards the sensor).
Walking Direction Diagrams: Show three scenarios: tangential movement resulting in activation ([good detection]), movement directly towards the sensor with less effective detection ([neutral detection]), and movement away from the sensor with no detection ([poor detection]).
5.0 Wiring Diagram
The diagram below shows the installation of the 753SSR Infrascan with an external wall-switch. The external wall-switch must be closed for normal sensor operation.
Wiring Diagram: Illustrates connections for Load (a), Sensor connection terminals (b), and Switch (c).
Description of Sensor Initialisation-Phase:
- The sensor undergoes an initialisation phase of approximately 50 seconds, during which the connected load is activated (light ON). This phase is indicated by a slowly flashing red LED.
- If no movement is detected during this phase, the load will turn OFF.
- Following initialisation, the Infrascan enters normal operation. The connected light remains OFF unless movement is detected (indicated by a flashing red LED), which then activates the load.
Please Note:
- The sensor's behaviour during initialisation is particularly relevant for installations with 2-way switches.
- When connecting sensors in parallel, ensure the sensor's maximum rating is not exceeded, and all units are connected to the same phase.
Warning:
- It is illegal for individuals other than licensed electricians or authorised personnel to work on fixed wiring of any electrical installation.
- Installation must comply with local wiring rules, such as AS/NZS3000 for Australia and New Zealand.
6.0 Functions
6.1 Manual Override Switch
a) Change from Normal Sensor Operation to Manual Override (Light ON for four hours): Switch the external wall-switch OFF, ON, OFF, ON in rapid succession (within 0.5-1 second intervals). The manual override is enabled, keeping the load activated for four hours. Normal sensor operation resumes automatically after this period.
b) Change from Manual Override to Normal Sensor Operation: Switch the external wall-switch OFF, ON in rapid succession (within 0.5-1 second intervals). Normal sensor mode is re-enabled, and the load will activate upon movement detection for the selected time period (5 sec. – 15 min.).
c) Deactivation of Sensor Operation (Light Permanently OFF): Switch the wall-switch OFF. If the wall-switch is kept OFF for longer than five seconds, the sensor initialisation phase will be activated once the switch is closed again.
6.2 Lux Level Setting
Important: Adjust the lux level setting only after mains power is connected, the housing is closed, and the lens is in place. The setting is concealed behind the decorative faceplate.
The desired response threshold can be adjusted from approximately 2 to 2000 lux. Turning the control fully anticlockwise selects night-time operation (approx. 2 lux). Turning it fully clockwise selects 'Teach' mode. A position just before fully clockwise enables daylight operation (approx. 2000 lux). The factory setting is daylight operation.
Teach Mode:
Set the control to the desired light level for movement response. After 10 seconds, the ambient brightness value is saved. This motion detector features integrated anti-glare protection. If testing in daylight, set the adjustment screw to night-time operation. Ensure no movement occurs in the detection zone during the selected light 'ON' time and for 60 seconds thereafter, otherwise the lamp will remain illuminated. This procedure must be followed for any changes to the lux level threshold.
6.3 Time Setting
Important: Adjust the time setting only after mains power is connected, the housing is closed, and the lens is in place. The setting is concealed behind the decorative faceplate.
The light ON time can be varied continuously from approximately 5 seconds to a maximum of 15 minutes. The factory setting is the shortest time (approx. 5 seconds). Any movement detected before the timer elapses will restart the timer.
Pulse Function:
The 'Pulse' function activates the output for 2 seconds, suitable for applications like staircase lighting time switches.
