5. Configuració (Instal·lació)

Seguiu aquests passos per a una instal·lació correcta:

1. Preparació: Assegureu-vos que l'alimentació principal de la zona d'instal·lació estigui desconnectada a l'interruptor.
2. Lloc de muntatge: Choose a stable, flat surface for wall mounting. The recommended mounting height is between 1.80m and 2.50m for optimal detection performance.
3. Muntatge de la base: Use the provided screws and wall plugs to securely attach the detector's base to the wall. Ensure the base is level.

4. Cablejat: Connect the three electrical wires (Live, Neutral, Load) from your power supply and light fixture to the corresponding terminals on the motion detector. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the product for exact connections. Ensure all connections are secure.
5. Attach Detector Body: Once wiring is complete, carefully attach the main body of the motion detector to its mounted base.
6. Adjust Sensor Head: The sensor head can be adjusted to cover the desired detection area. It can be tilted 40° vertically and rotated 100° horizontally. Adjust the sensor to avoid detecting unwanted movement (e.g., from public pathways or trees).

7. Restaura l'alimentació: After completing all installation steps and ensuring all connections are secure, restore power to the circuit.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

The motion detector features two adjustable dials for customization:

• LUX (Ambient Brightness) Adjustment:
  This dial controls the ambient light level at which the detector becomes active.
  • Turn the dial towards the '3' (moon symbol) setting for activation only in dark conditions (e.g., at night).
  • Turn the dial towards the '2000' (sun symbol) setting for activation in brighter conditions (e.g., during the day or in twilight).
• TIME (Operating Duration) Adjustment:
  This dial sets how long the connected light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed.
  • Adjust the dial to set the duration from a minimum of 10 seconds to a maximum of 15 minutes.

7. Manteniment

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your SEBSON motion detector, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Neteja: Regularly clean the sensor lens and the device's exterior with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic and sensor.
• Inspecció: Periodically check the device for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. Ensure the mounting is still secure.
• Obstruccions: Ensure that no new obstructions (e.g., growing plants, new installations) are blocking the sensor's field of view, which could affect its detection capability.
• Desconnexió d'alimentació: Always disconnect power before performing any cleaning or inspection that requires touching electrical components.

8. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your motion detector, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Light does not turn on when motion is detected:
  • Comproveu si la font d'alimentació principal està connectada.
  • Verifiqueu que totes les connexions de cablejat siguin correctes i segures.
  • Adjust the 'LUX' setting. It might be set too high, preventing activation in current ambient light conditions. Try turning it towards the 'moon' symbol.
  • Assegureu-vos que no hi hagi obstacles físics que bloquegin el sensor view.
  • Test the connected light fixture independently to ensure the bulb is functional.
• Light stays on continuously or turns on without motion:
  • Check the 'TIME' setting. If set to maximum, the light will stay on for a longer duration.
  • Ensure there is no continuous motion within the detection area (e.g., swaying branches, pets).
  • The 'LUX' setting might be too low, causing the detector to activate even in bright conditions. Adjust it towards the 'sun' symbol.
  • Inspect for faulty wiring or a short circuit.
• Detection range is poor or inconsistent:
  • Adjust the sensor head angle (vertical and horizontal) to optimize coverage.
  • Ensure the mounting height is within the recommended range (1.80m - 2.50m).
  • Clear any obstructions (e.g., dirt on the lens, plants, furniture) that might be interfering with the sensor.
  • Extreme temperatures can sometimes affect sensor performance.
