General Dimensions: Standard models feature a circular luminaire body with a diameter of 295 mm and a height of 77.7 mm. The mounting plate dimensions are approximately 169 mm x 169 mm. A larger circular model is available with a diameter of 420 mm. Cable entry points require 8-10 mm clearance. The 'E' symbol indicates the earth connection point for continuity or termination of earth wires.
Connections: Standard wiring uses -o-3 x 2.5 mm² terminals, while specific models (e.g., RA) use RA -o- 4 x 2.5 mm² terminals.
Important Safety Note: Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Use only the rated voltage and frequency specified on the luminaire/driver. Always switch off the power supply before installation or maintenance. These instructions must be kept available for future reference. The light source is not user-replaceable; the entire fixture must be replaced if the light source fails.
General Installation Guidelines
When selecting an installation location, consider the following:
- Radar sensors can detect movement through thin walls or glass.
- The luminaire must be mounted on a stable, vibration-free surface.
- Large metal surfaces may affect the detection area's size and shape.
- Lux values provided are for reference only.
Installation Steps
- Switch off the power supply.
- Unscrew and remove the diffuser (PC-kupu).
- Mark the mounting hole locations on the ceiling or wall.
- Connect the supply wires to the terminal block according to the wiring diagram.
- Secure the luminaire to the mounting surface using screws through the base mounting holes.
- Re-attach the diffuser using the screws.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common malfunctions and provides potential causes and remedies.
| Malfunction | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| The load will not work | Wrong light-control setting selected. | Adjust setting. |
| The load will not work | Load faulty. | Change load. |
| The load will not work | Main switch OFF. | Switch ON. |
| The load works always. | Continuous movement in the detection zone. | Check zone setting. |
| The load works always. | Sensor not mounted reliably. | Securely mount enclosure. |
| The load works without any identifiable movement. | Movement occurred but not identified by the sensor (e.g., behind wall, small objects near lamp). | Check zone setting. |
| The load will not work despite movement. | Rapid movements suppressed to minimize malfunctioning, or detection zone is too small. | Check zone setting. |
