Burda BPIR4 User And Installation Manual

Introduction
The BPIR4 is part of a family of controllers designed to provide energy saving when
used with Quartz Infrared Halogen Lamps. The 'P' model has a built in BPIR4 sensor
allowing the lamps to automatically switch on only when people are present. In
addition to the BPIR4, a temperature sensor monitors the outside temperature and
inhibits the lamps when the temperature exceeds a pre-determined set point of
between 1°C and 60°C.
The microcontroller-based system incorporates zero-voltage switching and a soft-
start function to eliminate the lamps' initial high inrush current – potentially
increasing lamp life by as much as 30%. The lamps are switched on for a fixed time
period of 5 minutes. This period is reset each time the BPIR4 detects any further
movement. Installation of the unit is simple and once installed is relatively
maintenance-free.

Installation
Important: Read carefully the following information before installing the unit.
The passive infrared sensor (BPIR4) fitted in this unit detects changes of infrared
energy through the Fresnel lens on the front face of the unit. The detection area
and range depend significantly on its mounting position.
The BPIR4 not only detects movement of the human body, but also other heat
sources similar to the human body. To prevent false activation, the unit must not be
located directly facing or in close proximity to the heater lamps. Avoid locating the
unit near to heating flues/exhausts, air conditioning units, moving trees/bushes and
reflective surfaces.
Note: The BPIR4 cannot detect the presence of a human body that is not moving.
To prevent malfunction of the BPIR4 sensor, avoid subjecting it to rapidly-changing
temperatures, strong shock or vibration or high humidity and temperature.
Troubleshooting
Problem: Lamps do not switch on.
Solution:
•
Check the LINE and LOAD wiring connections to the unit and ensure the
mains supply is switched on.
•
The ambient temperature may have exceeded the set point temperature. If
necessary, increase the set point temperature (VR1).
•
Check the lamps/Lamp fittings.
•
Contact your supplier.
Problem: Lamps do not switch off.
Solution:
•
Ensure nobody enters the detection area for 5 minutes. This will allow the 5
minute on-time to expire.
•
The BPIR4 might be continually being re-triggered due to false activations.
Mask the BPIR4 lens and wait 5 minutes. If the lamps switch off after 5
minutes, the BPIR4 is receiving false activations. See section 'Installation'.

Contact your supplier.
