The detection range of the motion detector
can be seen in both pictures, depending on
the location of installation (above: installa-
tion on the wall, below: installation on the
ceiling).
For installation on the ceiling, the horizontal
detection angle is 360°; the range is up to
15 m.
Preparations for installation
• Only install the motion detector on a stable surface. Only use the motion detector
when it is securely installed.
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.
The flow into 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 from each other.
• Walls, furniture or the like will not inhibit the motion detection due to the high fre-
quency technology used. Depending on the material thickness and humidity level,
the degree of permeation can vary or the high frequency signal may be attenuated.

The values should only be used as a guide. Depending on the materials and
the conditions of the environment, strong deviations can be produced.
• The motion detector can be installed on a wall or a ceiling (such as an awning etc).
Observe that the product is always installed such that it is out of reach of
children.
• When the motion detector is installed on a ceiling, you should maintain a distance
of at least 1 m from the walls. A greater distance is recommended for thin walls; oth-
erwise, persons on the other side of the wall may also trigger a switching process.
The range can be reduced with the knob "SENS", if there is false activa-
tions.
Installation and connection
P lease refer to the "Safety instructions" and "Preparations for installation"
chapter!
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 switch-
ing 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 cable is free of current e.g., with an appropriate tester.
• 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.
• Start the installation by unscrewing the holder.
For this purpose, the two screws of the front side
are to be unscrewed. See arrow in the picture on
the right.
Remove the holder from the motion detector.
• Fasten the holder with two screws and plugs to the
room ceiling or a wall.
Caution!
Pay attention when drilling and tightening the screws that no cables or pipes
are damaged!
For installation on the wall, the holder must be fixed so that both of the round
corners are upward (see the above picture). Therefore, the knobs lie down-
wards later.
In case the mains supply line is not laid under plaster but is led to the motion
detector via an installation pipe, the mains supply line must be laid under
there (a small plastic part can be broken out of the casing of the motion
detector for this purpose).
Otherwise, water can run down along the mains supply line into the motion
detector, which will damage it. Furthermore, this could cause a lethal elec-
tric shock!
• Remove the insulation on the cable of the mains supply line and the connection line
connected to the device. The individual wires of the lines must be stripped over a
length of approx. 6 - 8 mm.
• Pass the cable through the opening on the side of the holder.
• Connect the mains supply line and the cable to the
device using the screw terminals (wire cross sec-
tion 1.5 - 2.5 mm²).
On the inside of the holder, a wiring diagram is pro-
vided; there is corresponding labelling next to the

Adjusting the motion detector
The motion detector has three knobs, with
which the operating period ("TIME"), the sen-
sitivity ("SENS") and the switching threshold
for a certain ambient brightness ("LUX") can be
changed.
Knob "TIME" (power-up time)
With this knob, the operating period for the outlet (screw terminal A) to the device can
be set. Turning it to the left anticlockwise will reduce the operating period of the con-
nected device, while turning to the right will extend the period.
A setting of 10 seconds (tolerance ±3 seconds) up to 12 minutes (tolerance ±1 minute)
is possible.
If new motion is detected during the on-time, the on-time duration starts
once again; the consumer stays switched on.
Knob "SENS" (sensitivity)
With this knob, it can be adjusted how strong a movement must be to trigger a switch-
ing action.
Turning to the left anticlockwise (in the direction of "-") reduces the sensitivity, while
turning to the right clockwise (in the direction of "+") increases it.
By adjusting the sensitivity, you can also control the range of the sensor
(e.g., a person who walks through the monitoring area is recognised only at
a closer proximity to the sensor if the sensitivity is reduced).
If false alarms occur too often, you can reduce the sensitivity (turn the knob
a little to the left in the direction of "-").
