Installation
(Please also refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE)
Before undertaking installation work, ensure the electricity supply is disconnected from any relevant fixed wiring.
Supply cable is not provided with this product, and it should therefore be installed by a competent person or electrician
This PIR detector must be used on an A.C. ~ supply only
Dimplex Quartz and ceramic heaters operate by emitting radiant heat within a specific area or zone.
The beam of radiant heat will interfere with the correct performance of the PIR detector unless the PIR detector is mounted outside the ‘throw’ of
radiant heat. It is therefore essential that the PIR detector is mounted as outlined below:
1. For installation of Quartz and ceramic heaters, please refer to the relevant installation instructions.
2. The PIR should be positioned to cover the desired sensing area without obstruction, avoiding the direct ‘throw’ of the heater.
3. The PIR should be wired directly back to a type C MCB or 13 amp re-wireable fuse. The cable should not exceed 2.5mm².
4. Remove screws and disconnect the plug connecting the detector to the key box. When removing the detector head, the latch on plug
should be released as indicated. (see Fig.1.)

Testing
1. Set the light level
5
to maximum (clockwise), and the time on
to minimum (anti-clockwise).
2. Move in and out of detection pattern checking the PIR detector switches load on and then off. Once the detection area has been set
satisfactorily, adjust the time (blue knob) to the desired level. For your convenience optimum settings have been indicated.
3. If the unit does not operate, refer to the check list and fault finding list.
Check List
1. Check the supply to the detector
2. If the unit is being tested during daylight , ensure that the photocell has been adjusted in accordance with point 1 in the ‘Testing’
section.
3. Check detector is connected to the heater correctly

•
Check power is supplied to the unit
Check the plug in connection from the detector head is inserted in to the wall box correctly
Check to see that the lamps are fitted correctly to the heater(s)
Check mounting height and adjust angle of the unit downwards to reduce range (note the unit is
designed to switch at a maximum of 15 metres with 170Ib (77kg) person walking at 90º to the
unit. Alternatively fit an appropriate mask.
Unit is detecting at too long a range
IMPORTANT: at 10ºC this unit may detect in excess of 20 metres.
Unit switches on for no apparent
reason
•
•
Check the unit is not sited near any vents or heating flues
Infra-red patterns are given off by electrical appliances
NOTE: to reduce sensitivity, blank off areas C1, C2, C3, C4 of the lens mask
Unit will not switch off
•
Are you standing by the detection zone? Whilst you are moving in and out of the detection area
the unit will continue to detect. The heater on time is from the last moment detection was made.
