Introduction

The PDWM1500.1 utilises passive infrared technology to

detect heat radiation of moving human bodies.Upon

detection, the

lighting load will illuminate for

a user-determined time period. An integral daylight

sensor ensures all day or night-only operation.
Important Information: Light Pollution and

Considerate Lighting

Please be aware of the annoyance over-lighting an area

can cause to your immediate neighbours. Light

pollution caused by incorrectly installing a unit or

over-lighting an area can be limited by carefully

considering the location and position of your unit

before installation. The light spread on all halogen

floodlights can be reduced by angling the floodlight

downwards on the mounting bracket. This will also

concentrate the light on your property and limit the

potential inconvenience of the light shining into your

neighbours windows etc.

Please see Selecting a Location for information on

choosing the optimum location for any security light

controlled by this unit.

Parts included

• PIR Sensor unit.

• Instruction manual. Please keep safe for future

reference.

• Accessory Pack. Includes 2x screws.

Tools and parts needed

• Terminal or Electricians screwdriver.

• Small philips screwdriver.

• Wire

• Suitable mains interconnect cable.
This product is suitable for indoor use only. Connected

load must not exceed maximum 2300W Halogen

or 400W fluorescent/low energy lighting.

Do not

to install if you are suffering from

nausea or dizzy spells or on medication with similar

side effects. If in any doubt, consult a qualified

electrician.

Not suitable for use with discharge lighting.

Selecting a location

The motion detector has a number of detection zones,

at various vertical and horizontal angles as shown (see

diagram A).
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 wall mounted at the
optimum height of 1m.

Walk Test Procedure

TIME - Fully anti-clockwise (Test Mode)

DUSK - Fully clockwise

The unit will now operate during daytime as well as at

night, illuminating the lamp for approx. 5 seconds each

time. This allows testing to be carried out to establish

whether the sensor is covering the required area.

The lamp will immediately illuminate as the unit goes

through its "warm-up" period. A

approximately 1

minute the lamp will extinguish. Try to remain outside

the detection area during the warm-up period.

Walk around the sensor to establish the detection area.

The sensor will detect within an approximately 9 metre

diameter circle from the centre of the sensor location with a

3m ceiling.

As you cross a detection "zone" the lamp will illuminate.

Now stand still until the lamp extinguishes (this should

take approx. 5 seconds).

Start moving

As you cross each

"zone" the lamp will illuminate.

Repeat the above, walking at various distances and

angles to the unit. This will help you to confirm the

detection

Careful positioning of the sensor will be required to

ensure optimum performance. See diagram A detailing

detection range and direction.
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.
Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any

sources of heat in the detection area (extractor fans,

tumble dryer exhausts etc.) including opposite any

other light sources such as other security lights.
Reflective surfaces (ie pools of water or white-painted

walls) and overhanging branches may cause false

activation under extreme conditions.
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.

Connection

Switch off the main power suppy or wall switch.

Connect the mains supply cable Live core (brown) to L
and Neutral core(Blue) to N terminal.
Connect the lighting cable Neutral core (blue) to the
same N terminal and Lighting Live core (brown) to
the L1 terminal on the unit (see diagram D):-

NEUTRA L (Blue)

LIVE (Brown)

Connect the Earth wire (Green/yellow) to the Earth
terminal on wall box.

When wiring is complete, set the two adjustment
controls on the side of the unit (diagram C) to the
following positions:
TIME -Fully anti-clockwise (Test Mode).
DUS K - Fully clockwise.

Fit the sensor unit to ceiling wall box and secure it
with two fixing screws provided.(Diagram E)

Installation

IMPO RTANT

Switch off the electricity at the fuse box by removing the

relevant fuse or switching off

the circuit breaker before proceeding with the installation.

All

should be installed by competent person in

accordance with IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671)

choosing a suitable location (see previous section)

install the unit as follows:
The unit is suitable for connection to a 230 V ac 50Hz

electricity supply. It is suggested that 3-core round

flexible cable of 1.5 sq. mm gauge is used. An isolating

switch should be installed to switch the power to the unit
ON & OFF. This allows the sensor to be easily switched
off when not required or for maintenance purposes
