The MWS3A -PRM -VFC Microwave presence detector
provides automatic control of lighting loads with optional
manual control.
The MWS3A -PRM detects movement using a highly
sensitive microwave detector. This works by emitting low
power microwave signals and measuring the re ections as
the signals bounce o moving objects.
The output channel comprises a mains voltage relay
capable of simple on/o switching. This unit provides an
isolated voltage free contact output.
Functioning as a presence detector, the unit can turn lights
on when a room is occupied and o when the room is
empty. Optional settings allow lights to be turned o in
response to ambient daylight.
The MWS3A -PRM 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.
Two variants are available.
MWS3A -PRM -VFC
MWS3A -PRM -VFC -NC

  • Page 3 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 Power-up test procedure When power is applied to the unit, the load will turn on immediately. Set the timeout to 10 seconds, vacate the room or remain very still and wait for the load to switch off . Check that the load switches on when movement is detected. The unit is now ready for programming.
  • Page 5 Installation The MWS3A-PRM-VFC is designed to be mounted using either:  Flush fixing, or  Surface fixing, using the optional Surface Mounting Box (part no. MWS3A-DBB). Both methods are illustrated below. Warning - be careful bending springs when mounting unit. Flush fixing Hole Ø74mm Attach cable clamp...
  • Page 6 Basic programming The functionality of the MWS3A-PRM-VFC is controlled by a number of parameters which can be changed or programmed by any of the following devices:  UHS5 Infrared Handset. See below for programmable functions.  UNLCDHS Infrared Handset (with LCD). See user guide for full programming details. For most basic programming operations the UHS5 handset can be used and the following procedures are based on using this device.
