Product Information

Full details

The 2Y-LINK Occupancy Sensor PIR Motion Detector (White) is designed for homeowners seeking automated, touch-free lighting solutions to enhance convenience and reduce energy waste. Its primary benefit is the automatic on/off functionality, which can potentially lower electricity bills by up to 30% by ensuring lights are only on when needed. A key consideration is that while weatherproof, it is not suitable for outdoor installation. This motion sensor offers a simple surface-mount installation, automatically activating lights when motion is detected within its 5m range and 360° coverage.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on when motion is detected.

Verify that the power supply to the sensor is active. Check the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correct according to the manual. Ensure the sensor is within its 5m detection range and the room is not excessively bright, which might prevent activation.

Light remains on continuously or turns off too quickly.

Adjust the timer setting to your desired duration. If the light stays on, check for any constant motion within the sensor's range or ensure there isn't a heat source causing false detection. For lights turning off too quickly, adjust the timer to a longer setting or check for intermittent motion.

Sensor seems insensitive to motion.

Clean the sensor lens with a soft cloth. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's 360° view. Verify the detection range is appropriate for the room size and the sensor is mounted at the recommended height.

Unit is physically damaged.

If the casing or lens is cracked or damaged, discontinue use and replace the unit. Do not attempt to repair damaged components; contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
