5.2 Receiver Installation (Wiring)

WHAKATŪPATO: Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before proceeding with wiring.

  1. Tautuhi Waea: Locate the Live (L), Neutral (N), and Ground (G) wires from your power source and the lighting fixture.
  2. Tūhono Kaiwhiwhi: Connect the receiver's wires according to the wiring diagram provided. Typically, the receiver's input Live (L) and Neutral (N) connect to the power source, and its output Live (L) and Neutral (N) connect to the light fixture.
  3. Hononga Haumaru: Me whakarite kia piri tonu ngā hononga waea katoa, ā, kia tika hoki te whakamarumaru.
  4. Maunga Kaiwhiwhi: Place the compact receiver unit in a suitable location, such as inside a junction box or fixture canopy.

5.3 Pairing the Sensor and Receiver

After installing both units, follow the receiver's specific pairing instructions (usually involves pressing a pairing button on the receiver and then activating the sensor) to establish a wireless connection. Refer to the receiver's individual manual for detailed pairing steps.

6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

6.1 Te Kowhiri i nga Aratau Mahi

The motion sensor offers four distinct operating modes, selected by rotating the dial on the front of the sensor:

Close-up of the DEWENWILS motion sensor dial showing the four operating modes.
Figure 6.1: Mode Selection Dial. The dial allows selection between Random Mode (RND), Dusk to Dawn Mode (DTD), Night Time Motion Activation Mode (NTM), and Motion Detection Mode (PIR).
  • PIR (Motion Detection Mode): The light activates when motion is detected, regardless of ambient light conditions.
  • NTM (Night Time Motion Activation Mode): The light activates only when motion is detected in low light conditions.
  • DTD (Dusk to Dawn Mode): The light turns on automatically at dusk and turns off at dawn, without motion detection.
  • RND (Random Mode): The light turns on and off randomly to simulate occupancy, typically used for security purposes when away from home.

6.2 Adjusting Delay Time

In PIR and NTM modes, the delay time (how long the light stays on after the last detected motion) can be adjusted using the switch on the side of the sensor. Available settings are 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes.

6.3 Detection Range and Angle

The motion sensor has a detection range of approximately 6 meters and an adjustable detection angle of 120 degrees. The wireless signal between the sensor and receiver can transmit up to 30 meters in open areas, even through walls.

7. Tiaki

7.1 Whakakapinga Pūhiko

When the motion sensor's performance degrades or it stops responding, it may be time to replace the batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back of the sensor and replace the 3x AAA batteries with new alkaline or lithium batteries, ensuring correct polarity. If using the DC 5V power option, ensure the power adapter is functioning correctly.

7.2 Te horoi

Wipe the sensor and receiver units with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surfaces or internal components.

8. Te Raru

  • Light does not turn on with motion:
    • Check if the sensor batteries are dead or incorrectly installed.
    • Ensure the sensor and receiver are properly paired. Re-pair if necessary.
    • Verify the sensor is within the 30-meter wireless range of the receiver.
    • Check the selected operating mode (PIR or NTM for motion detection).
    • Ensure the light fixture connected to the receiver is functional.
  • Ka mau tonu te rama:
    • Check the selected operating mode. If in DTD mode, it will stay on from dusk till dawn.
    • Ensure there is no continuous motion within the sensor's detection area.
    • Verify the delay time setting is not excessively long.
  • Poor detection range or sensitivity:
    • Adjust the sensor's position and angle to optimize coverage.
    • Me whakarite karekau he arai e aukati ana i te pukoro view.
    • Replace sensor batteries if they are low.
  • Nga take hononga ahokore:
    • Reduce the distance between the sensor and receiver.
    • Whakaitihia te pokanoa mai i etahi atu taputapu ahokore.
    • Re-pair the sensor and receiver.
