Niko Swiss Garde 360 Premium AP

Product Description

The device detects movements using a passive infrared sensor (PIR). It reacts most sensitively to movements which are tangential to the monitored area (1a). Movements directly towards the detector have a reduced sensitivity of approx. -50% (1b). The detector does not switch until the brightness drops below the set value (twilight threshold). The switching duration is extended as long as movements are detected (1d). Products which are indicated as accessories are not included in the scope of delivery.

Application

The detector is suitable for indoor or protected outdoor use to control lamps. Adhere to the following during installation:

• Install only on stable ceilings.
• Mask moving objects in the monitored area by covering up the lens.
• Do not place any lamps underneath or next to the detector at a distance of less than 1 m away (2a).
• Do not install in direct cold (2b) or hot air flows (2c).

Safety Notes

Ensure that the electrical lines are de-energised before installation. Installation is only permitted by electricians in compliance with local legislation.

Installation

The detector is intended for ceiling installation at a height of 2 to 8 m. The diameter () of the monitored area depends on the installation height (1c). Install the detector as follows:

• Remove the front cover by turning counter-clockwise (4c).
• Mark and drill holes at the desired mounting site.
• Pull the cable through the grommet (4a).
• Attach the detector with the screw / dowel set (4b).
• Wire the detector according to item 5.

Wiring

The electrical circuit must be protected with a circuit breaker.

• L: Current conduction line
• N: Neutral conductor
• L': Switching output relay

Connection of Loads

High inrush currents shorten the service life of the relay which is integrated in the detector. Adhere to the technical specifications provided by the manufacturer of the lamps and lighting equipment to avoid overloading the relay (3a, 3b). To keep the circuit well-arranged, we recommend switching no more than 3-4 detectors in parallel. If there is an above-average number of switching cycles or in case of increased loads, we recommend switching the load via an external contactor.

Configuration

The detector is ready for operation about 1 minute after mains connection. Parameter changes must be made during operation either by adjusting the device's potentiometers or using the remote control (accessory). Values can be increased by turning the knob clockwise.

• Time: TIME determines the delay after the last movement (5b). If the relay output is wired to an automatic staircase switch, set TIME to pulse mode [ ].
• Twilight threshold: LUX gradually sets the trigger threshold of the twilight sensor between Z (day mode) and 4 (night mode) (5a).
• Range: SENS sets the detection range of the PIR sensor (5c).

Display

The following statuses are indicated by the LED. Parameter changes can be made at the detector's potentiometers or by using the remote control (accessory). When a parameter change is confirmed, the detector briefly switches off the relay output.

Troubleshooting

• The switching output does not switch:
  • Twilight threshold too high
  • Check the lamp / fuse protection
• The switching output switches too frequently:
  • Reduce the range
  • Cover the lens
  • Twilight threshold too low

Technical Data

Diagram Descriptions

Coverage Diagram: A ceiling-mounted motion detector is shown. Figure 1a illustrates optimal detection of tangential movements. Figure 1b shows reduced sensitivity (approx. -50%) for movements directly towards the detector. Figure 1c depicts the maximum detection diameter of approximately 30 meters, varying with installation height from 2 to 8 meters. Figure 1d indicates that the switching duration is extended as long as movement is detected. Specific ranges are indicated from 1m up to 30m.

Application and Placement Guidelines: Figure 2a shows a minimum clearance of 1 meter required between the detector and other light sources. Figure 2b warns against installing the detector in direct cold air flows. Figure 2c warns against installing the detector in direct hot air flows.

Load Capacity Information: Figure 3a and 3b display the maximum load ratings for the detector's relay. It can handle a maximum of 2300 Watts (resistive load) or 10 Amperes, and a maximum of 1150 VA with a power factor of 0.5 (inductive load). For LED loads, the maximum is 350 Watts.

Mounting Procedure: Figure 4 illustrates the physical installation steps. It shows the detector housing, mounting holes, and components. Figure 4c indicates how to remove the front cover by turning it counter-clockwise. Figure 4a points to the cable grommet for wire entry. Figure 4b shows the included screw and dowel set for securing the detector to the ceiling. Figure 6 shows the detector's dimensions: 125mm width/length and 75mm height.

Configuration Controls: Figure 5 shows the adjustable potentiometers on the detector for configuration. Labelled as 5a (LUX) for setting the twilight threshold, 5b (TIME) for adjusting the delay or run-on time, and 5c (SENS) for setting the detection range. An arrow indicates that turning the knobs clockwise increases the values.

Wiring Diagram: Figure 7 shows the electrical connections. Terminal L is for the live/current-carrying conductor, N is for the neutral conductor, and L' is for the switched live output. Figure 7a and 7b provide simplified schematics of the connection, showing the input power (L, N) and the switched output (L').

Warnings regarding installation

The installation of products that will permanently be part of the electrical installation and which include dangerous voltages, should be carried out by a qualified installer and in accordance with the applicable regulations. This user manual must be presented to the user. It should be included in the electrical installation file and it should be passed on to any new owners. Additional copies are available on the Niko website or via Niko customer services.
