Product Guide
The MPAD-C-A 12-24V Microwave presence detector
provides automatic control of low voltage loads including
lighting and BMS systems with optional manual control. The
MPAD-C-A 12-24V detects movement using a highly
sensitive microwave detector. This works by emitting low
power microwave signals and measuring the reflections as
the signals bounce off moving objects.
Functioning as a presence detector, the unit can turn lights
on when a room is occupied and off when the room is
empty. Optional settings allow lights to be turned off in
response to ambient daylight.
The MPAD-C-A 12-24V has a unique adjustable sensor
head that allows the area of detection to be optimised for
the application.
All functionality is fully programmable using an IR handset.
Microwave Sensor
Detects movement within the unit's detection range,
allowing load control in response to changes in occupancy.
IR Receiver
Receives control and programming commands from an
IR (infrared) handset.
Light Level Sensor
Measures the overall light level in the detection area

    Installation Choosing a Suitable Location The detector should be sited so that the occupants of the room fall inside the detection pattern shown opposite).  Avoid positioning the unit where direct sunlight may enter the sensor element.  Do not site the sensor within 1m of any lighting, forced air heating or ventilation. ...
  • Page 4 Installation The MPAD-C-A 12-24V is designed to be mounted using either:  Flush fixing, or  Surface fixing, using the optional Surface Mounting Box (part no. SB-C A). Both methods are illustrated below. Warning - be careful bending springs when mounting unit.
  • Page 5 Readback function (HHIR-PROG handset only) The HHIR-LCD-PROG has the ability to read back the settings stored in a device. To read back individual parameters  Navigate to the parameter and press the ‘R’ (Read) button whilst pointing at the device. The handset will click when the parameter has been read back, the device will flash its LED, and the value will be shown against the parameter in the menu.
  • Page 6: Basic Programming

    Basic programming The functionality of the MPAD-C-A 12-24V is controlled by a number of parameters which can be changed or programmed by any of the following devices:  HHIR-PROG Infrared Handset. See below for programmable functions.  HHIR-LCD-PROG Infrared Handset (with LCD). See user guide for full programming details.
