FAQs

What is the maximum detection range of the sensor?

The Bright Source 2-in-1 PIR Sensor has a detection range of up to 8 meters.

Can this sensor be used outdoors?

No, this sensor has an IP20 rating, which means it is designed for use in dry indoor environments only.

How do I adjust the time delay?

The time delay is adjusted using the integrated controls on the sensor itself, typically a dial or switch, allowing settings from 10 seconds to 7 minutes.

What is the power consumption of the sensor?

The sensor has a low power consumption of approximately 0.9W.

What are the dimensions of the sensor?

The sensor measures 93mm in width and 35.5mm in height.

Does the sensor work with LED lights?

The sensor is designed to control lighting circuits. Compatibility with specific LED fixtures depends on the total wattage and the sensor's load capacity. Consult the product's full specifications for details.

How should I clean the sensor?

Gently wipe the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture gets inside the device. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Sensor does not turn on lights.

Check that power is correctly supplied to the sensor. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the diagram. Ensure the connected light fixture is functional.

Lights stay on continuously.

The time delay setting may be set too high, or the sensor may be continuously detecting motion. Check for objects or heat sources within the detection zone that might be causing a false trigger. Adjust the time delay setting.

Lights turn off too quickly.

Adjust the time delay setting to a longer duration. Ensure the sensor is not positioned where it might lose sight of the area requiring continuous illumination.

Sensor activates during the day when no motion is present.

Check the day/night sensitivity setting. If set to only operate at night, this should not occur. If the sensor is faulty, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile with dual recessed or surface mounting options.
  • Adjustable time delay offers user control over activation duration.
  • Energy-efficient with low power consumption.
  • Compact and unobtrusive design for seamless integration.
  • Intelligent day/night detection prevents unnecessary activation.

Cons

  • IP20 rating limits use to dry indoor environments only.
  • Requires basic electrical knowledge for installation.
  • Surface mounting may require additional hardware depending on the wall type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable indoor location, considering the 8-meter detection range and avoiding direct heat sources or drafts that could cause false triggers.
  2. Select Mounting Type: Decide between recessed or surface mounting. Recessed installation requires a suitable cutout in the ceiling or wall. Surface mounting involves attaching the sensor directly to the wall or ceiling surface.
  3. Wiring: Note: Installation requires basic electrical knowledge. Always disconnect power at the main fuse box before wiring. Connect the sensor to the appropriate power supply and the lighting circuit according to the manufacturer's wiring diagram.
  4. Adjust Settings: Set the desired time delay using the integrated controls. Ensure the day/night sensitivity is configured for your needs.
  5. Test: Restore power and test the sensor's functionality by walking within its detection range.

Compatibility:

The sensor is designed to control lighting circuits. Ensure compatibility with your existing wiring and the load of the lights it will be controlling.

Care:

  • Keep the sensor lens clean. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the device.
  • Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals.
