360º surface microwave motion sensor
The microwave motion sensor is a new switch system for energy savings. Its integrated high-frequency electromagnetic wave sensors (5.8GHz) in the detector circuit offer practical automation functions in the management of lighting installations.
The microwave motion sensor is activated upon receiving a motion signal from a human. When a person enters the detection field, it instantly activates the electrical circuit, automatically identifying day and night (it can be adjusted to activate only during the day or at night).
Why microwave motion sensor?
Microwave motion sensors allow for the detection of movement through doors, panels, or glass, even through thin walls. In cases such as partitioned offices, industrial warehouses, or facilities with multiple rooms, the microwave motion sensor is the perfect element, more effective than infrared sensors.
Installation of the microwave motion sensor
The installation and configuration of microwave sensors is performed easily. Below we outline the process:
- Disconnect the power supply and ensure that the circuit is not receiving current.
- Unscrew the motion sensor cover, mount the base against the wall, and connect the wiring from the back.
- Install the sensor according to the instructions on the back of the housing (UP arrow pointing up).
- Fit the sensor against the cover screwed to the wall, and secure it with the screw.
- Connect the power supply and test the installation. The indicator light will remain on.
To configure the microwave motion sensor, simply adjust the knobs inside:
- Disconnect the power supply and open the sensor to access the connections and the dials inside.
- If we place the roulette in the central position, the system will activate both day and night, with a time of 5 seconds.
- If we turn the dial to the right, the circuit will be activated only during the day, and the time can be set between 10 seconds and 15 minutes.
- If we turn the dial to the left, the circuit will activate only at night, and the time can be adjusted between 10 seconds and 15 minutes
The sensor is not responding properly. What should I do?
In most cases, the motion sensor will require adjustments and checks for proper functioning according to how we want it to activate. For this, you should review the following points:
- The sensor does not activate the circuit:
- Check that the motion sensor is receiving electrical power.
- Does the indicator light stay on after detecting motion? If so, check the wiring.
- If the indicator light does not turn on after detecting movement, please check that it is set correctly in day/night mode.
- Check that the sensor is connected to the correct voltage (220-240V-AC)
- Sensitivity is poor/insufficient:
- Check that there is nothing in front of the detector pilot that obstructs signal reception.
- Check the operating ambient temperature.
- Check that the origin of the motion signal is within the sensor's detection field.
- Check the installation height.
- The motion sensor does not automatically disconnect the circuit:
- Check that there is no constant movement, no matter how small, within the detection change.
- Check that the runtime is not set to the maximum (15 minutes).
- Check that the current in the circuit is less than 10A.
- Check that there are no sudden temperature changes near the sensor, sources of air conditioning or heating emissions, etc.
