Tuning the motion sensor Instructions

The detector can be adjusted?

Modern motion sensors (DD), you can adjust the sensitivity, illumination, time delay switch off the light and the angle of installation.

All these parameters when properly configured, can save up to 50%, which is a very significant indicator.However, it should immediately be noted that not all three motion sensors control.Only two parameters can be adjusted in older models - the time delay and sensitivity or the delay time and light level, as in the photo below:

Recommended view the user manual, which is due to the detector circuit work:

Now we separately analyze how to configure the motion sensor floodlight or another embodiment of the luminaire.

Setting

angle

installation The first thing to do - the right to adjust the detection zone DD.In modern models of luminaires detectors are represented by separate elements attached to the hinge.That's it you just need to set up so that the infrared rays focused on the best possible detection area.Here an important role is played not only the installation angle and height at which you decide to connect a motion sensor.Optimal and most unsuccessful installation methods discussed in the schemes below:

sensitivity

second option, you need to set up - the sensitivity, which is indicated on the «SENS» case.As a rule, wheel is used to adjust a range from min (low or -) to max (high or +).Motion sensor sensitivity setting is the most difficult.You must adjust the parameter so that the detector did not work on small animals, but at the same time turn on the lights when a person is detected.In this case, we recommend immediately adjust the SENS to maximum, wait until the lights turn off and see how the sensor will be triggered.

Gradually, you will need to reduce the sensitivity until until you find the "golden mean".Please note that if you are in the yard there is a large dog, perform sensor setting, so that it did not react to it, it is unlikely to succeed.

Illumination

Next tuning - illumination threshold indicated in the «LUX» case.This parameter is required in order to adjust the sensor to the inclusion of light only when it is dark.For example, why lighting is switched on when motion is detected in the daytime, anyway it will not work.When you first set it is recommended to set the maximum value of LUX and when evening adjust the appropriate time at which the sensor will be triggered.

If your detector is not a regulator LUX, you can additionally connect a light sensor.In this case, you will still adjust the spotlight to be turned on only at night.

delay time

And the last option - on delay, labeled «TIME».Time to configure the easiest, the range can vary from 5 seconds to 10 minutes.Here you will have themselves to decide on the best time to set the delay.There are sensors in which each new turn on delay time increases.When the initial setup is recommended to set the knob to the minimum mark to be able to quickly perform parameter validation.

also some useful information you can learn by looking at the video:

That's all that I wanted to tell you about how to set up a motion sensor lighting.Such detectors can be installed not only on the street, but even in the apartment, for example, on the staircase in the entrance.We hope that providing instructions for configuring the detector with two and three regulators has been useful for you!
