Frequently Asked Questions - IDA 95172 Wentronic

What should I do if the motion detector triggers false alarms?

Check that the detector is not facing moving objects like trees or animals. Reduce the sensitivity setting or reposition the sensor.

Why does the detector not detect movement?

Ensure batteries are fresh and installed correctly. Verify the detection range and angle, and clean the lens with a soft dry cloth.

What is the maximum coverage area?

The detector covers up to 12 meters with a 120-degree angle. For best results, mount at a height of 1.8-2.5 meters.

How do I install the motion detector?

Mount the base on a wall using screws (included). Insert 2x AA batteries, then adjust the sensor head to the desired angle. Refer to the installation diagram in the manual.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

Yes, 1.2V NiMH rechargeable AA batteries are suitable, but the detection performance may vary slightly. Standard alkaline batteries are recommended.

How do I adjust the timer setting?

Turn the TIME dial on the bottom of the detector. Rotate clockwise to increase the delay (up to 5 minutes) and counterclockwise to decrease (minimum 10 seconds).

Can I connect the detector to a light fixture?

This model runs on batteries and is designed for standalone use. For wired connection, consider a different model.

What should I do if the detector stops working?

Replace the batteries with new ones. If the issue persists, check for physical damage or moisture ingress. The device is IP44 rated, but not fully waterproof.

How do I clean and maintain the motion detector?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning agents. Ensure the lens is free from dust and cobwebs for optimal detection.

Is there a warranty for this product?

Wentronic offers a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your purchase receipt and contact customer support for claims.

1 Safety Instructions:

ATTENTION! Only skilled electricians may assemble and disassemble the housing of the product.

DANGER! Risk of life by electric shock!

Avoid contacting mains voltages!

Turn off the power of all circuits before working on the product!

ATTENTION! Risk of short-circuit!

Never bridge contacts!

Do not put things into ventilation slots or ports!

ATTENTION! Risk of injury by falling parts or impacts!

Mind respectable connections!

Install the product in a minimum height of 1.8 meters!

• This product is not a toy and is not meant for children, because it contains small parts which can be swallowed and can injure when used inappropriately!
• Do not use any damaged products or parts.
• Remove or store the packing materials well, because children may cut themselves on them while playing. Furthermore, there is a risk of swallowing and inhalating of incidentals and insulating material.
  • Install and store the product and its accessories in a way that does not infringe any person or property damage, eg due to falling or stumbling.
• Avoid extreme influences, e.g. like heat and coldness, humidity and direct sun insulaion, vibrations and mechanical pressure.
• Do not modify or change the product or its accessories! Also mind chapter “warranty and liability”.
• Mind the specifications for transporting and use applicable methods, e.g. by using the original packing.
• If defects, mechanical damages, disturbances or other problems occur, which are not solvable with this manual, take the device out of work immediately and consult your dealer for questions, repairing or change like it is described in chapter “warranty and liability”.
• A defective device may not be put into operation, but must be

protected against further use. Repairing, such as assembling and disassembling the housing is only allowed to skilled professionals. By repairing it yourself you will loose all warranties and there is a risk of electric shock and short circuit.

- Motion sensors are not suitable for use as components of an alarm system. They can trigger false alarms if the installation place has been chosen unfavourably.

2 Description and Function:

This product is an infrared motion sensor for indoors and is specified as installation material. It reacts to heat radiation (infrared radiation) of moving objects that enter the detection area of the sensor, eg. people and animals, etc. The sensor must „see“ the area which is monitored. Thermal radiation propagates in a straight line, but is stopped by glass or other solid objects.

Entering the detection area of the sensor switches the connected electrical consumer on and after a (adjustable) time off again automatically. A built-in photocell prevents working of the motion sensor during sunlight. In addition, the ambient brightness can be adjusted by a regulator.
