Infra Garde 140° and 200° motion detector Page 2/2
Aligning the detector
Align the detector to suit your requirements.
The detector can be tilted by 45° in either direction.
Coverage area
In optimum conditions, the range of the detector is up to approx. 12
m ahead.
The range is dependent on the installation location and the direction of
movement.
As the motion detector reacts to temperature fluctuations between
the heat source and ambient temperature, the range can vary depending
on the installation location.
Locating the coverage area
Cover the parts of the switching device that are not required or cause
faulty operation with adhesive tape or the adaptable cover.
Connection diagrams
Parallel switching of several motion detectors including additional
switch for continuous light.
We recommend switching a maximum of three to four detectors in
parallel to ensure an overview of the process and efficient energy
management is maintained.
If the number of switching cycles is above average or in the event of
increased (inductive) loads, we recommend switching the load via an
external staircase timer switch or contactor.
Technical specifications
Nominal voltage: 230 to 240V/50Hz Coverage area: 140°/200°
Switching capacity: 1000W/max. 5A Range: approx. 12 m ahead, approx. 6 m lateral
150VA/0.75A inductive (cos φ = 0.5)
Twilight: approx. 5 to 1000 lux
Protection class: IP 44 class II
Faults
- PIR does not work: Twilight value set too high
Check the light's bulb.
Check mains fuse.
- Switches on without reason: Check coverage area for something
causing the fault: (trees, animals, cars,
etc.)
Cover the area of the lens that is causing
the fault with masking tape (or shutter)
- Switches on during the day: Twilight value is set too low
Function: The motion sensor reacts to heat omitted by moving bodies. If
a person moves towards the monitored area, the light automatically
switches on. If the person leaves the area, the light turns itself off after a
preset amount of time (approx. 10 seconds to a max. of 15 minutes)
Warning! Any work to the 230V network must only be completed by
trained specialists. Before starting to install the motion detector, ensure
that the 230-volt power supply cable is de-energised using a voltage
tester.
Positioning
The installation height should be approx. 2.3 m (max. 3.5 m). It must not
be installed in the vicinity of heat sources or reflective surfaces.
To avoid faulty operation caused by the movement of trees etc., parts of
the lens can be obscured with the supplied cover.
Preparation:
Lift the detector from the base, ensuring you use a sufficiently large
screwdriver so that the housing is not damaged.
Installation
For installation purposes, draw two drill holes for the mounting base in
the desired position on the wall. Drill holes appropriate for the diameter
and depth of the plugs supplied. Firmly press the plugs into the holes. Fix
the mounting base to the wall using the screws supplied.
Power supply:
The connection must be a 230V/50Hz mains power supply! The power
supply cable can be fed into the device from the back or from the bottom.
The cables must be attached to the clamps as follows:
Phase/outer conductor (L): brown;
Switching output/switched phase/outer conductor (L') white;
(for parallel bypass (continuous light) or for additional loads)
Neutral/neutral conductor (N): blue; Earth: connection that is not
used
(class II): green/yellow
Following connection to the mains power supply, the detector needs
approx. one minute before it is ready for operation. If the power supply is
interrupted (min. two seconds) then the light can be activated remotely.
Connecting electrical loads
High starting currents shorten the service life of the relay integrated into
the detector. Please observe the technical specifications provided by the
light and lamp manufacturers to ensure the relay is not overloaded. We
recommend switching a maximum of three to four motion detectors in
parallel, if the number of switching cycles is above average or in the
event of increased (inductive) loads, we recommend using the short
pulse function on the motion detector and switching the load via an
external staircase timer switch or contactor.
We recommend connecting electric ballasts and CFLs via a
contactor; a direct connection is not recommended.
Connecting in parallel
Several loads can be switched in parallel. However, it must be ensured
that these are not switched to two
different mains phases. (short-circuit)
Settings
Test: To ensure the functionality of the sensor can be checked during the
day and the frontal range can be adjusted, the twilight setting must be set
to "day/sun".
Timer setting
The timer can be used to determine how long the light will remain on
following the last movement in the coverage area.
Switch from minimum to maximum stop position (turn clockwise): short
pulse of approx. 1 second (20-second pause), (10 seconds to
15minutes).
Twilight setting (lux)
The twilight sensor regulates the operating threshold (light value) of the
motion detector determining when the device should be activated.
Standard connection
Includes option to control
the motion detector via an external
switch
(interruption of approx. 2 sec)

Controlling a staircase timer switch
Set detector to short pulse mode (timer setting at minimum stop
position). Optionally, the switches can be switched in parallel.
