Functional description
The motion detector sends out signals in the 5.8 GHz range (much like a radar). These signals
are reflected back from surfaces located within the detection range.
The integrated electronic system evaluates the received signals. If there is a motion within the
detection range (no matter whether this is a human, animal or object), the signals received will
change and the switching output of the motion detector is activated.
The range of detecting motion is determined by several factors:
• The movement sensor's mounting height
• The size of the object
• Settings of the control dial „SENS" (sensitivity) on the motion detector
• Distance from the object to the motion detector
• Speed of movement
• Metal objects near the motion detector
The entire area surrounding the motion detector is captured due to the 360° radial angle of de-
tection and a 180° opening angle. The range is up to 15 m depending on the site of installation.

Preparations for installation
• Only install the motion detector on a stable surface. Only use the motion detector when it is
securely mounted.
Important!
If there are metal objects behind/under the mounting location (e.g., steel beams,
plates or similar), the motion detector will not function properly
In addition, the flow of water or sewage pipes may trigger a switching process.
If you plan to mount several motion detectors, they must have a minimum distance
of 2 m to each other.
• Walls, furniture or the like will not inhibit the motion detection due to the high frequency
technology used. Depending on the material thickness and humidity level, the degree of
permeation can vary or the high frequency signal may be attenuated.

These values should only be seen as guideline values. There may be large varia-
tions depending on the materials and the environmental conditions.
• Ideally, the motion detector should be mounted on a ceiling. Depending on the room type and
the desired function, it is also possible to mount it on a wall.
Make sure in any case that the product is mounted out of the reach of children. Chil-
dren might otherwise open the motion detector, which could cause a fatal electric
shock!
• Keep a distance of at least 1 m to the walls when mounting the motion detector on a ceiling.
A larger distance is recommended for thin walls; otherwise, persons on the other side of the
wall may also trigger a switching process.
Sensitivity and thus range can be reduced with the knob „SENS", if there are false
activations.
Installation and connection
• Make sure you fix the motion detector to a solid base, e.g., masonry. Use screws and, if
necessary, screw anchors that are suitable for the surface.
• Fasten the motion detector with two screws and plugs to the room ceiling.
• Remove the insulation on the mains cable and the connection cable connected to the device.
The individual wires of the lines must be stripped over a length of approx. 8 mm.
• Connect the individual wires of the mains cable and of the cable connected to the device with
the terminal attachments in the motion detector.
To do this, insert the stripped cable into the corresponding terminal (cable cross section 0.75
- 1.5 mm²). Only one cable must be inserted into each terminal!

L´ = Switched phase, to the power consuming device
• To remove a cable from the terminal, press the corresponding unlock button using a suitable
screwdriver. Afterwards, the cable can be pulled out again.
• The protective earth wire (PE, yellow-green cable) must be connected to a different place
(e.g., to an external terminal box) since there is no corresponding attachment in the motion
detector.
• Switch on the power.
Adjusting the motion detector
The motion detector has three control dials, which can be used to change the power-up time
(„TIME"), the sensitivity („SENS") and the switch-on threshold at a certain ambient brightness
(„LUX").
a) Dial „TIME" (power-up time)
Using this control dial, you can set the power-up time for the output L´ to the device. Turning it
to the left will reduce the power-up time of the connected device, while turning to the right will
extend the time.
Attenuation
A setting of 10 second (tolerance ±3 seconds) up to 12 minutes (tolerance ±1 minute) is pos-
5 - 10%
sible.
10 - 20%
15 - 30%
b) Dial „SENS" (sensitivity)
60 - 70%
With this control dial it is possible to configure how strong a motion must be in order to trigger
100%
a switching process.
100%
Turning to the left, anticlockwise (towards „-") reduces the sensitivity, while turning to the right,
100%
clockwise (towards „+") increases it.
c) Dial „LUX" (brightness setting)
The switching threshold is set by means of this dial and controls the ambient brightness at
which the motion detector is activated (and then activates the connected consumer, if a move-
ment in the detection range is detected).
Turning the dial anticlockwise to the left means the motion detector will activate when it is
darker; turning it to the right, in the direction of the sun symbol, activates the motion detector
in brighter conditions.
Please refer to the "Safety instructions" and "Preparations for installation" chapters!
The motion detector must be installed only when it is voltage-free. It is not sufficient
to just turn off the light switch!
First switch off all poles of the mains supply by removing the fuse or switching off
at the circuit breaker and then also switch off the associated residual current circuit
breaker. Secure it against unauthorised reconnection, e.g., with a danger sign.
Check that the mains connection is free of current, i.e. with an appropriate tester.
Pay attention when drilling and tightening the screws that no cables or pipes are
damaged!
Depending on the mounting location,Ensure that contact protection is appropriate
and, if necessary, connection cables or cable strain relief are properly fixed in place.
When selecting the mounting location, make sure that the brightness sensor is able
to detect ambient brightness. Otherwise, the brightness control will not work via the
"LUX" dial, and the motion detector switches the connected device (for example, a
lamp) also during the day.

Pay attention to the figure below the terminals.
If new motion is detected during the on-time, the duty cycle starts once again; the
device stays switched on.
By adjusting the sensitivity, you can also control the range of the sensor (e.g., a per-
son who walks through the monitoring area is recognised only at a closer proximity
to the sensor, if sensitivity is reduced).
Should false activations occur often, reduce the sensitivity (by turning the dial a little
to the left towards „-").
