Wiring Diagrams How Does RAB’s Mini Sensor Work? To override sensor with a manual switch The Mini Sensor infrared sensor “sees” small temperature changes caused by the motion of people or cars within its detection zone and turns on lights automatically. It welcomes visitors and may deter intruders. How are the Time, Sensitivity and Photocell adjusted? TimeControl: Sets the time that lights will remain on after the Detection Zone is vacated from approximately 5 seconds to 15 minutes.
Picking A Location Aiming and Walk Testing Location Considerations: Detection Pattern: Test Period: • Choose a location from which the sensor can “see” all the paths of movement that will be illuminated by its lights. • The sensor has a “Double Look Down” Lens with one “Look Out” zone and two “Look Down” zones, for excellent detection both at long and close range. The sensor has a 3 minute Test Period which allows it to be aimed and walk tested day or night.
Technical Tips: Lights Do Not Turn Off 1. Make sure sensor is not aimed at something that would move or change temperature such as waving branches, water, air conditioners, windows or heating vents - even on neighboring property. You can test for infrared sources in the area by placing a box or bag over the sensor. Put sensor into Test Mode. After the initial 30 seconds of the lights being on, lights should stay off. Wave your hand inside the bag in front of sensor. Lights should go on and then time out.
