6. Operation and Testing
Walk Testing Procedure
The sensor will rotate from left to right, and tilt forward or backward.
The small arrow on the underside of the sensor indicates the direction of the
main detection area.
Adjust the sensor to point in the desired direction.
Set the two adjustment controls to the following positions:
TIME – Fully anti-clockwise
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 the best position for the sensor.
The lamp will immediately illuminate as the unit goes through its “warm-up”
period. After approximately 1 – 2 minutes the lamp will extinguish. Try to remain
outside the detection area during the warm-up period.
Walk across the detection area approx. 2.5 metres from the unit. 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 again. 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 establish the detection pattern.
If the detection area is too small for your requirements, try angling the sensor
head up. This will increase the coverage distance. Angling the head downwards
will reduce the range should a smaller coverage area be required.
Ensure that all connections are secure.
For details of override connections, please see connection diagram.
Re-affix the terminal block back onto the wall mounting plate.
Slide the main body back onto the mounting plate then pull in a downwards
direction so that it is fully engaged with the mounting plate.
Secure the unit by replacing the screw on the underside.
