2.0 Installation Procedure

Unit is for outdoor use only. Unit must be mounted on a non-ﬂammable surface as a

ﬁxed luminaire, and is not suitable for portable use. The unit can get very hot during

use. Ensure the unit has cooled before handling. Ensure adequate ventilation space

is allowed between the unit and any object above, in front or to either side of the unit.

Suggested space is 0.5m above, 0.3m to either side and 1.0m in front. Do not attempt

to install during wet weather conditions.

All electrical installations must be carried out by a Licensed Electrician.

2.1 Selecting a Location

1. The motion detector has a number of detection zones, at various vertical and

horizontal angles as shown (see Diagram A).

2. A moving human body needs to cross/enter one of these zones to activate the

sensor. The best all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted at the

optimum height of 2.5m.

3. Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to ensure optimum performance.

See Diagram B detailing detection range and direction.

4. The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its ﬁeld of vision than to

movement directly TOWARDS (see Diagram B). Therefore position the unit so

that the sensor looks ACROSS the likely approach path.

5. Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any sources of heat in the detection

area (extractor fans, tumble dryer exhausts etc.) including any other light sources

such as other security lighting.

6. Reﬂective surfaces (i.e. pools of water or white painted walls) and overhanging

branches may cause false activation under extreme conditions.

7. During extreme weather conditions the motion sensor may exhibit unusual

behaviour. This does not indicate a fault with the sensor. Once normal weather

conditions return, the sensor will resume normal operation.
