Selecting the installation location

Ideal installation location for the product
Motion sensors are electronic sensors that recognise
movement in their environment and work as electrical
switches, responding to this movement. Heat sources are
sensed using the lens. If a heat source in the product's sensor
area changes or moves, the product will switch on for the
preconfigured time. In order to ensure that the product
functions optimally, please note the following requirements:
• Affix the product to a stable, vibration-free wall.
• Choose a location for installation that is protected against
wind and rain (e.g. under the eaves of a roof). The
installation surface must be free from shocks or vibrations.
• To avoid unwanted triggering of the motion sensor, no
moving objects such as trees or bushes should be in the
range of the motion sensor. If the sensor's range is on a
street, vehicles driving past may switch the spotlight on
unintentionally.
• To avoid disturbing the proper functioning of the spot
light, the motion sensor should be protected against
direct sunlight and from light from halogen lamps or light-
reflective surfaces such as swimming pools or ponds.
• Only intended for installation outside arm's length:
The optimum height for installation is approx. 2–2.5 m or
above. If the product is installed lower than this, the sensor
area may be reduced (see Fig. G).
• The spotlight works best if the sensor area of the motion
sensor is crossed horizontally. As far as possible, install the
motion sensor in such a way that the main direction of
approach is not straight in front of the sensor.
