Mini Adjustable PIR Occupancy Sensor 400W Auto Timer Reset Ceiling Light Switch - Multicolor
This 400W Mini Recess AUTO Occupancy Motion Sensor Lighting Switch is ideal for areas where lights...This 400W Mini Recess AUTO Occupancy Motion Sensor Lighting Switch is ideal for areas where lights and/or a fan are only required when the area is occupied. It works by detecting and monitoring body heat, and when the area becomes vacant, the switch will turn off after an adjustable duration (10 seconds - 15 minutes). Perfect for toilets, warehouses, and corridors to reduce electricity usage and save on energy bills. It is suitable for use with LED lights, fluorescent lights, incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, or fans. This light switch can be used as a replacement or a new switch with a 250V rated consumer unit (fuse box) commonly found in UK homes. It can be mounted to a wall or ceiling using "Dog Ear mounts", requiring a 41mm diameter hole. The spring-loaded action securely holds the fitting in place without screws or wall plugs. Multiple PIR switches can be linked in parallel for more extensive applications, such as controlling lights at both the top and bottom of a staircase or in larger spaces. The front cap twists off for easy access to lux and timer controls, unlike many sensors that require complete un-installation. This occupancy sensor continuously resets its timer as long as motion is detected within its range, ensuring lights stay on until the set duration has passed without movement. It also features a lux setting to activate lights only when ambient light falls below a certain point and motion is detected. The timer settings include 10 Seconds, 30 Seconds, 90 Seconds, 3 Minutes, 7 Minutes, or 15 minutes, resetting with each detected motion. Supplied with instructions and an IP20 dust cover cap for terminal protection. Detection Radius: 360 Degrees, Detection Range: 6m Max (<24°C), Installation Height: 2.2m to 4m, Lux Settings: 3 Lux to 2000 Lux, Timer Settings: 10 Seconds to 15 minutes, Maximum Load: 400W LED, IP Rating: IP20, Power Source: 220-240V AC, Power Frequency: 50Hz, Guarantee: 2 Years. Dimensions: 41mm Cut Out Required, 50mm Mounting Depth Required. Standards: ROHS.
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:
Preparation: Ensure the power supply to the circuit is switched off at the consumer unit (fuse box).
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.
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.
Adjustments: Twist the front cap to access and adjust the lux sensitivity (3-2000 Lux) and timer duration (10 seconds - 15 minutes).
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.
