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.
This product is designed and constructed according
to the principles of the appropriate British Standard
and is intended for normal domestic service.
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 and allow for safe connection to the
mains supply (lighting circuit).
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 FITTING IS DOUBLE INSULATED - DO NOT
CONNECT ANY PART TO EARTH.
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.
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.
PIR SPECIFICATIONS:
• Detection range: approx. 120° (horizontal),
max. 10 metres.
• Duration time: 7 minutes.
• Factory preset PIR - no override facility.
• LUX - 10 lx.
CORNER MOUNTING:
1) Use corner mounting bracket as a template to
make fixing holes.
2) Pass the supply cable through the rubber
grommet in the corner mounting bracket.
3) Secure corner bracket to the wall using fixings
supplied.
Go to wiring instructions.
WALL MOUNTING:
1) Remove the screws from centre of bracket – this
will allow you to separate the wall plate from the
corner bracket. Retain steel and silicone washers
to be re-used with wall bracket fixings supplied to
maintain the IP rating.
2) Using the wall plate as a template to mark the
fixing holes.
3) Pass the supply cable through the rubber
grommet in the wall plate.
4) Secure the wall plate to the wall using fixing kit
supplied and reusing steel & silicone washers as
per image below:
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Make connections between your fitting and the
supply wiring according to the following code:
Live: Brown or Red
Neutral: Blue or Black
2) Ensure the rubber gasket is in position around the
outside of the wall plate and aligned with screw
holes to maintain the IP rating. (See fit quick guide
enclosed for example).
3) Remove top and bottom fixing screws from wall
mounting plate and locate the fitting over the wall
plate ensuring that the fitting is pointing directly
downwards. Secure with the top and bottom fixing
screws you previously removed.
4) Restore power.
PIR VERSION:
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 fitting should be mounted 1.8 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 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
The PIR sensor scanning specifications
(approximately 10 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 fitting 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 below).
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 below).

TROUBLESHOOTING AND USER HINTS:
Note: all passive infra red detectors are more sensitive in cold and dry weather than warm and wet weather.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SUGGESTED REMEDY
Light does not switch on
when there is movement
in the detection area.
1. No mains voltage
Check all connections, and MCB Fuses / switches
2. Nearby lighting is too bright
Relocate the unit
3. Wired incorrectly
Check wiring and confirm its wired as per the
wiring diagram
Light switches on for no
apparent reason (false
trigger)
1. Heat sources such as air-con, vents, heaters, flues,
other outside lighting, moving cars trees or shrubs
are activating sensor
Relocate fitting
2. Animals / birds activating sensor
Relocate fitting
3. Interference from on/off switching of electric fans
or lights on the same circuit as your fitting.
(This problem does not always occur but a faulty
switch may cause the fitting to switch on)
Should the false triggering become, troublesome,
consider:
(a) Replacing a faulty switch
(b) Connecting the fitting to a separate circuit (in
most cases where one or more of the above
suggestions have been carried out, false
triggering has been reduced)
4. Reflection from swimming pool, or reflective
surface such as smooth white walls
Relocate fitting
Light remains on
Continuously false triggered
Relocate fitting
Possible heat source in detection zone
Cover PIR sensor lens with a thick cloth, if the
light turns off check detection area for heat or
reflective source, reposition head
