Microwave motion sensor for ceiling 360º IP20

Microwave motion sensor for ceiling mounting 360º.

The microwave motion sensor is a discreet switch that, activated only by motion detection, helps us to improve the energy efficiency of our installations. The high-frequency electromagnetic wave sensors (5.8GHz) integrated in the sensor circuit allow automated management of lighting installations.

Why is it appropriate to install a microwave motion sensor?

A microwave motion sensor allows us to detect movement through doors, partitions or glass and windows, even through thin walls. In offices with different compartments, industrial buildings or multi-room installations, the microwave motion sensor is the perfect device, much more efficient and accurate than infrared sensors.

Installing the microwave motion sensor

• Disconnect the power supply and verify that the circuit is de-energized.
• Separate the front cover with a slight counterclockwise twist.
• It is not necessary to unscrew the rear cover, as the connections are made from the side panel of the sensor.
• Screw the assembly against the ceiling with the screws supplied.
• Set the time, sensitivity (distance and angle of detection), and lux (ambient illumination) factors using the existing roulette wheels.
• Connect the wiring according to the installation diagram.
• Close the cover with the reverse rotation.

Remarks to be taken into account when installing a microwave motion sensor:

• We recommend installation by an electrician.
• Avoid placing objects in front of the sensor that may affect the correct motion detection.
• Avoid installing the sensor near areas where the air temperature is altered: heating, fans, air conditioners, etc.
• Do not connect a load higher than 300W LED

The sensor does not respond properly, what should I do?

In most occasions the motion sensor will require adjustments and revisions for a correct operation according to how we want it to be activated. To do this, you should check the following points:

• The sensor does not activate the circuit:

1. Check that the motion sensor is receiving electrical charge.
2. Does the pilot light stay on after detecting motion? If so, check the wiring.
3. If the LED does not light after detecting motion, please check that it is set to day/night mode correctly.
4. Check that the sensor is connected to the correct voltage (220-240V-AC).

• Sensitivity is poor/insufficient:

1. Check that there is nothing in front of the detector pilot light hindering signal reception.
2. Check the ambient operating temperature.
3. Check that the source of the motion signal is within the detection range of the sensor.
4. Check the height of the installation.

• The motion sensor does not automatically disconnect the circuit:

1. Check that there is no constant motion, however small, within the detection change.
2. Check that the operating time is not set to the maximum (15 minutes).
3. Check that the current in the circuit is less than 5A.
4. Check that there are no sudden temperature changes near the sensor, air conditioning or heating emission sources, etc.
