Introduction & Where To Fit Your Bulkheads:

Where To Fit Your Bulkheads & Installation:

The PIR sensor scanning specifications 

(approximately 8 metres at 120°) may vary 

slightly depending on the mounting height and 

location.
The detection range of the unit may also alter 

with temperature change. Before selecting a 

place to install your PIR bulkhead you should 

note that movement across the scan area is 

more effective than movement directly towards 

or away from the sensor. (refer to Fig. 2). 
If movement is made walking directly towards 

or away from the sensor and not across the 

apparent detection range will be substantially 

reduced (refer to Fig. 3).

INTRODUCTION:

The bulkhead light incorporates a PIR (passive 

Infra red) sensing device which continuously 

scans a preset operating zone and immediately 

switches the light on when it detects movement 

in that area.
This means that whenever movement is 

detected within the range of the sensor the light 

will switch on automatically to illuminate the  

area you have selected to light. While there is 

movement within range of the unit the light will 

remain on.
 

READ THIS FIRST:

Check the pack and make sure you have all of 

the parts listed on the front of this booklet. If 

not, contact the outlet where you bought this 

product.
This product must be installed by a competent 

person in accordance with the current building 

and IEE wiring regulations.
As the buyer, installer and/or user of this product 

it is your own responsibility to ensure that this 

fitting is fit for the purpose for which you have 

intended it. Eterna Lighting cannot accept any 

liability for loss, damage or premature failure 

resulting from inappropriate use. If in any doubt, 

consult a qualified electrician.
This product is designed and constructed 

according to the principles of the appropriate 

British Standard and is intended for normal 

domestic service. Using this fitting in any other 

environments may result in a shortened working 

life. 
Switch off the mains before commencing 

installation and remove the appropriate circuit 

fuse or lock off MCB.
This unit is suitable for outdoor use.
This product is designed for permanent 

connection to fixed wiring: this must be a 

suitable circuit (protected with the appropriate 

MCB or fuse).   
Before making fixing hole(s), check that 

there are no obstructions hidden beneath the 

mounting surface such as pipes or cables.
Make sure that the fixings are strong enough to 

support the considerable weight of the fitting 

and hold it rigidly.
The lamp must be positioned so that there is at 

least 0.5m (500mm) between the bulb and any 

illuminated surface.
When making connections ensure that the 

terminals are tightened securely and that 

no strands of wire protrude. Check that 

the terminals are tightened onto the bared 

conductors and not onto any insulation. 

This product must be connected to earth 

termination.
This product is not intended to be used by 

children and persons with sensory, physical 

and/or mental impairments that would prevent 

them from using it safely.
IMPORTANT - Always switch off the mains power 

before changing the lamp.
You are advised at every stage of your 

installation to double-check any electrical 

connections you have made. After you have 

completed your installation there are electrical 

tests that should be carried out, these tests are 

specified in the current IEE wiring and building 

regulations. If in doubt, consult a qualified 

electrician.
 

WHERE TO FIT YOUR PIR BULKHEAD:

To achieve best results we suggest you take the 

following points into consideration:
Do not mount on a surface that has vibration.
Ideally the PIR bulkhead light should be 

mounted 1.58 to 2.5 metres (6 to 8ft) above the 

area to be scanned (refer to Fig. 1 below).

To avoid damage to the unit do not aim sensor 

towards the sun.
Avoid positioning the sensor unit adjacent to a 

bright light source which may prevent the unit 

from operating when the lux control is set to 

operate in dark conditions.
Avoid nuisance false triggering by directing 

sensor away from:
Trees and shrubs 

Reflective surfaces such as smooth white walls 

Swimming pools  

Heat sources such as boiler flues

When installing the bulkhead light, please refer 

to Fig. 4 above.
01)  Switch off the mains power before 

commencing installation.

02)  Remove the diffuser by unscrewing the fixing 

(screw A).

03)  Unscrew the screw (B) and remove the 

transparent terminal cover plate.

04)  Position the fitting on the surface where 

its to be installed and mark the mounting 

hole positions. Drill and plug the wall at 

the marked positions and pass cable wire 

through  rubber grommet. Screw and fix the 

lamp body to wall with suitable mounting 

screws (supplied).

05)   Connect the main power wires to the 

terminal block (see the relative symbols on 

Fig. 4 above).

06) Re-screw transparent plate.
07)  Insert the Max. 23Watt / 230V~50Hz helical 

CFLi lamp into the lampholder (E27).

08)  Re-fit the diffuser and secure with fixing 

screw ensuring the gasket is seated correctly.

09)  Adjust controls (PIR only).
10)   Restore power, wait 30 seconds for circuit to 

stabilise (PIR only).
