Product Information

Full details

This Loops Mini Adjustable PIR Occupancy Sensor is designed for anyone looking to automate lighting and/or fan control in areas that only require power when occupied, such as toilets, warehouses, and corridors. Its key benefit is reducing electricity consumption and saving on energy bills by automatically turning off devices after a set period of vacancy. A minor caveat is its specific mounting requirements, needing a 41mm diameter hole. The sensor detects body heat to activate and deactivate lights or fans, offers adjustable timer and lux settings, and is compatible with various lamp types and fans.

FAQs

What is the maximum load this sensor can handle?

The sensor can handle a maximum load of 400W when used with LED lights. For other load types, refer to compatibility guidelines.

How do I adjust the time delay before the light turns off?

The time delay can be adjusted by twisting the front cap of the sensor. The available settings range from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.

Can this sensor be used outdoors?

No, this sensor has an IP20 rating, meaning it is only protected against dust and is intended for indoor use.

What is the detection range of the sensor?

The detection range is a maximum of 6 meters, provided the ambient temperature is below 24°C. It offers a 360-degree detection radius.

How do I clean the occupancy sensor?

Clean the sensor's exterior with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product comes with a 2-year guarantee.

Can I link this sensor with other sensors?

Yes, multiple PIR switches can be linked in parallel for extended coverage in larger or more complex areas.

Troubleshooting

Light/fan does not turn on when motion is detected.

Check power supply to the sensor. Verify the lux setting; it may be too high if there is sufficient ambient light. Ensure the timer has not expired.

Light/fan stays on continuously.

Ensure there is no constant movement or heat source within the detection range that the sensor is picking up. Check if the timer is set to its maximum duration and if motion is being continuously detected.

Sensor is not detecting motion accurately.

Ensure the sensor is mounted at the correct height (2.2m - 4m) and that the detection lens is clean and unobstructed. Check for any environmental factors affecting heat detection.

Light/fan turns off too quickly.

Adjust the timer setting to a longer duration. Ensure that any detected motion is resetting the timer correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the power supply to the circuit is switched off at the consumer unit (fuse box).
  2. Mounting: Create a 41mm diameter hole in the ceiling or wall. Insert the sensor, allowing the 'dog ear' mounts to spring outwards and secure it in place. Use the provided IP20 dust cover cap for terminal protection if needed.
  3. Wiring: Connect the sensor to the 220-240V AC power supply and the load (light or fan) according to the included instructions. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
  4. Adjustments: Twist the front cap to access and adjust the lux sensitivity (3-2000 Lux) and timer duration (10 seconds - 15 minutes).
  5. Power On: Restore power to the circuit.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: 220-240V AC, 50Hz.
  • Load Types: Suitable for LED lights, fluorescent lights, incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, and fans.
  • Maximum Load: 400W for LED; check load compatibility for other types.
  • Environment: Designed for indoor use (IP20 rated).

Care:

  • Clean the exterior surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ensure the detection lens remains clear of dust and obstructions for optimal performance.
