Product Information

Full details

The Timeguard Suretime STLW1000 is a white PIR sensor designed for automated lighting control. It's ideal for homeowners and installers looking to add convenience and energy savings to outdoor or indoor spaces by automatically switching lights on when motion is detected. While it offers flexible adjustment of light sensitivity and on-time, its 1000W halogen load capacity may be a limitation for very high-power lighting systems.

FAQs

What is the maximum wattage the STLW1000 can control?

The STLW1000 can switch up to 1000W of halogen lighting, or 200W of fluorescent or LED lighting.

How do I adjust the time the light stays on?

There is an 'On Time' adjustment dial on the unit. Rotate this dial to set your desired duration, typically ranging from a few minutes to a longer period.

Can I manually turn the lights off even if motion is detected?

Yes, the STLW1000 features a manual override function that allows you to control the light independently of motion detection.

What is the detection angle of this PIR sensor?

The detection angle is 180 degrees, offering a wide coverage area.

How far can the sensor detect motion?

The detection range is between 8 and 12 meters, depending on the environmental conditions and the angle of detection.

Can I install this PIR sensor indoors?

While designed for outdoor use, it can be installed indoors in suitable locations, provided it is protected from direct moisture if used in a damp environment.

How do I set the sensor to only work when it's dark?

Use the 'Lux Level' adjustment dial. Set it to a higher value to ensure it only activates when the ambient light drops below a certain threshold.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on when motion is detected

Check that power is connected and switched on. Verify the lux level setting is appropriate for the current ambient light conditions. Ensure the on-time is not set to minimum. Check wiring connections.

Light stays on continuously

Check the on-time adjustment; it may be set to maximum. Ensure there is no constant motion or heat source within the detection zone. If manual override is engaged, disengage it.

Light activates at inappropriate times (e.g., during the day)

Adjust the lux level setting to a higher value, requiring darker conditions for activation. Ensure the sensor is not aimed at heat sources like vents or direct sunlight.

Sensor range seems limited

Ensure the sensor lens is clean. Check for any obstructions in the detection path. Verify the pan and tilt adjustments are correctly positioned.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide 180-degree detection range for comprehensive coverage.
  • Adjustable settings for light level and on-time offer customization.
  • Supports significant lighting loads, including halogen, fluorescent, and LED.
  • Manual override feature adds user control.
  • Easy to install with large terminals and accessible controls.

Cons

  • 1000W capacity is specific to halogen; LED/fluorescent capacity is lower.
  • Requires careful aiming due to the 180° detection angle to avoid unintended activation.
  • Manual override requires user interaction and may be forgotten.
  • Limited information available on advanced smart home integration.
  • White color may not suit all external aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely mount the PIR sensor in the desired location, ensuring it has a clear view of the detection area. Use the included knockouts for cable entry from underneath.
  2. Wiring: Connect the lighting circuit to the large terminals according to the wiring diagram provided with the product. Ensure power is switched off at the mains before wiring.
  3. Adjustments:
  • Light Level (Lux): Rotate the control to set the desired ambient light level for activation. Lower settings activate in dimmer conditions, higher settings in darker conditions.
  • On-Time: Adjust the dial to set the duration lights stay on after motion stops.
  • Pan/Tilt: Adjust the sensor's head to precisely aim the detection zone.
  1. Testing: Restore power and test the sensor's functionality by walking through the detection area.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with lighting loads up to 1000W halogen, 200W fluorescent, or 200W LED.
  • Requires a standard mains electrical connection.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to maintain optimal performance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the sensor is free from obstructions like heavy foliage or spiderwebs.
