Product Information

Full details

This Maclean Infrared PIR Sensor Motion Detector is designed for homeowners and businesses looking to automate lighting and enhance energy efficiency. Its key benefit is the automatic activation of lights only when motion is detected, saving both energy and money. A caveat to consider is its IP20 protection rating, meaning it's suitable for indoor use only. This durable, ceiling-mounted sensor offers 360° detection and works seamlessly with LED lighting, featuring adjustable sensitivity for optimal performance.

FAQs

What is the maximum detection range of this sensor?

The sensor has a maximum detection range of 8 meters under normal temperature conditions (below 24°C).

Can this sensor be used outdoors?

No, this sensor has an IP20 protection rating, which means it is designed for indoor use only and is not protected against water or moisture.

What type of lighting is compatible with this sensor?

The sensor is designed to work with LED lighting and other standard lighting fixtures that operate on a 220-240V AC power supply.

How do I adjust the sensitivity?

The lighting sensitivity (LUX) can be adjusted using the dial on the sensor, allowing you to set the threshold from less than 10 LUX (darkness) to 2000 LUX (bright daylight).

What does the 360° detection area mean?

A 360° detection area means the sensor can detect motion in all directions around it, providing complete coverage when mounted centrally on the ceiling.

How long do the lights stay on after motion is detected?

The duration the lights stay on after the last detected motion is adjustable via a time delay setting on the sensor, allowing you to customize this period.

Troubleshooting

Sensor does not turn on lights

Verify the power supply connection (220-240V AC). Ensure the connected light fixture is functional and the bulb is not burnt out. Check that the ambient light setting (LUX) is not set too high for current lighting conditions.

Lights turn on/off too frequently or at incorrect times

Adjust the lighting sensitivity (LUX) setting. If lights are turning off while someone is still in the room, reduce the *time delay* setting. Ensure the motion detection speed setting is appropriate for the expected movement.

Sensor does not detect motion

Check for any obstructions blocking the sensor's lens. Ensure the detection range is adequately set for the room size. Verify the motion detection speed setting is not too high for slow-moving individuals.

Sensor is unresponsive

Disconnect power, wait 30 seconds, and reconnect the power supply. If the issue persists, consult the product manual or contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces energy consumption by activating lights only when needed.
  • Comprehensive 360° coverage eliminates dead zones.
  • Flexible settings for light sensitivity and motion detection speed allow for precise customization.
  • Easy integration with existing LED lighting setups.
  • Automatic day/night detection simplifies operation.

Cons

  • IP20 rating limits use to dry indoor environments only.
  • Maximum detection range of 8 meters may be insufficient for very large open spaces.
  • Requires a 220-240V AC power supply, limiting placement options to existing power points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This sensor is designed for ceiling mounting. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation. Connect the sensor to your 220-240V AC power source according to the wiring diagram provided with the product. Once installed and powered, adjust the detection range, lighting sensitivity, and time delay using the integrated dials to your desired settings. Test the sensor to ensure it activates and deactivates lights as expected.

Compatibility: The Maclean PIR sensor is compatible with most standard lighting systems, particularly designed to work with LED lighting. It requires a 220-240V AC power source.

Care: The sensor requires minimal care. Periodically, gently wipe the sensor's lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris that might obstruct its detection capabilities. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the sensor's casing or lens. Ensure the area around the sensor remains unobstructed for optimal performance.
