4:27 PM Page 14 INTRODUCTION LU 101/115 HF is a transmitter that combines infrared sensor and wireless feature. LU 101/115 HF is for short-distance detection, which is up to 8M, and it is ideal for installation on the door gate, ceiling and wall, or put on the table. When receiver receives the signal transmitted by LU 101/115 HF the receiver sends out sound to notify users visitors’ coming or the family members’ going out, or to announce the arriving of visitors by flash light. In these ways, users can show welcome to guests timely, conveniently and politely. Apart from the features above, Transmitter LU 101/115 HF has other remarkable functions as following:

• Easy installation on door gate, ceiling, wall, table… etc, and simple operation.
• Adjust the detection range by rotating 90° on right or left.
• Full compatibility with all WAVEMAN products.
• Wire free and convenient.
• Apply to different locations: offices, small-scaled stores and homes …etc.

CHANNEL SET-UP Transmitter and receiver communicate each other by having the same channel. Transmitter LU 101/115 HF has been preset its system channel at “I” and unit channel at “9” before exiting factory. Please make sure the channel settings of receiver and transmitter are identical and the transmitter’s system channel match the preset of the receiver. However, if the user finds transmitter LU 101/115 HF and the Receiver have the same channel setting with other wireless device near by, the user DEFINITELY needs to make change on the channel setting. Do not adjust system channel to “A” position and unit channel to “1” position on all Theben series. Though Theben series provide 256 combinations for channel settings, the best for the user is to use 255 combinations and exclude one combinationA1 from your channel setting, because A1 is very easy to get interference from other similar product in the market that eventually makes wireless device abnormally working. Please follow the steps below to change the channel setting of Transmitter LU 101/115 HF.

1. Remove the battery cover with a flathead screwdriver (See Fig.1).

2. Adjust the channel to a desired position with a screwdriver (See Fig. 2).

3. Pull the battery cover back.

4. Please note direction while closing the battery cover. The convex corner

of battery cover should be connected to the convex area of sensor body and the small hollow inside battery cover should be placed at the bottom. System channel (House channel) Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Unit channel INSTALLATION A. Helpful Tips For a Better Transmission

1. Install LU 101/115 HF on the ceiling about 3m ~ 5m height from the floor,

and LU 101/115 HF on the wall about 0.7m ~ 1.2m from the floor to ensure effective functions.

2. Measure the distance between the transmitter and the receiver before

installation. Make sure transmitter LU 101/115 HF is mounted in effective working range.

3. Avoid installing transmitter LU 101/115 HF near aluminum alloy or thick

metal that shortens the transmitting distance. Keep it away at least 1 m.

4. Avoid installing transmitter LU 101/115 HF on the thick wall or fence,

which blocks transmission wave and shortens the remote controlling distance.

5. During installation, avoid testing transmitter LU 101/115 HF by holding in

hands, due to the human body is one kind of antenna that would cause interference to wireless devices.

6. Keep the valid detection range of transmitter LU

101/115 HF cleared, and the surrounding space, respectively in 3m from the transmitter, having no other devices may receive the electric wave from the Transmitter.

7. Don’t toward LU 101/115 HF sensor body to the

sky while installed outside to maintain the water proof feature (See Fig. 3). Fig. 3 Manuale_LU101_115HF

4:27 PM Page 17 Fig. 10 - Put on the table Note: It is normal state that the detection range is divergent in different environment. Suggest not installing LU 101/115 HF in where the end zone is the main detected target To obtain excellent performance, please mount LU 101/115 HF horizontally on ceiling or the top of door-gate and vertically on wall, table or beside door-gate.

2. Avoid Nuisance Triggering

Transmitter LU 101/115 HF can be activated by any large animals, light reflective surfaces, heat sources or a moving object. Following guidelines will help you avoid nuisance triggering: Avoid the object moving directly toward the sensor that brings the less sensitivity of detection. Have the object move across the pattern zone that brings more sensitivity.

• Do not aim the sensor toward any kind of lighting sources.
• Avoid aiming the sensor toward object that moves in the wind such as bushes or lawn decoration.
• Avoid mounting the sensor nearing any sources, such as heating vent, air conditioner, dryer vent or the lighting device.
• Avoid having the sensor toward the area or the object whose surfaces are highly reflective or are subject to rapid changing in temperature, such as the pool … etc.

4:27 PM Page 18 C. Installation Procedure LU 101/115 HF can operate by using alkaline battery or connecting AC power by an AC adaptor. Please refer to the following for two methods of power supply: A) Please follow the steps below to insert new batteries:

1. Remove the battery cover with a flathead screw-driver (See Fig.1).

2. Insert 4 pieces of new AA 1.5V alkaline batteries. Please note that

reverse polarity may cause damage on sensor (See Fig.11).

3. Put the battery cover back.

Fig. 12 The battery’s lifetime is decided by activating frequency and environmental temperature. The more activating frequencies and the lower environmental temperature is, the sooner of power consumption. In normal circumstances, alkaline battery for transmitter LU 101/115 HF can be used for about 6 months by triggering about 10 times every day at 20° C operating environment. When the battery is running faded, LED gets faint or the transmission range becomes shorter, please repeat step 1 ~ 3 to use new batteries instead of old ones. B) It is workable to plug AC power in DC socket instead of batteries. Usually, it is suggested to connect AC power with AC adaptor for economic reason. And in order to make the control unit work normally, please use AC adaptor provided only by original manufacture.

1. Remove the battery cover with a flathead screw-driver (See Fig.1).

2. Plug the AC adaptor in DC socket from the back cover (See Fig.12).

3. Punch the reserved knock hole on battery cover with a long nose pliers

4. Put the battery cover back and make sure the wires go through the

• It is not waterproof since the reserved knock hole has been broken while using AC adaptor. In order to maintain it in waterproof, you’d better use SILICONE glue to fulfill the reserved knock hole.
• Make sure take out batteries before using AC adaptor. C) Two methods for LU 101/115 HF installation:

1. Fix transmitter LU 101/115 HF on the installing surface with screws.

Lux Fig. 24 Fig. 25 B. LED Function LED (See Fig. 25) is mainly desired as the indication for sensor activation. When environment is applicable for LUX, trigger the transmitter LU 101/115 HF, LED will turn on for about 5 seconds and then turn off. C. Walk Test LU 101/115 HF automatically works when power turns on. If it is necessary you can use walk test to test and adjust the detection coverage, which helps to make it work properly. Before the test, adjust LUX to “ meter to “+”, then you can start walk test. Procedures of walk test:

1. Aim the Transmitter LU 101/115 HF across the traffic pattern where you

2. Warm up the transmitter for about 30 seconds.

3. Make sure the transmitter and the combined receiver have set with the

same channel. Manuale_LU101_115HF

4. Check if LED of transmitter LU 101/115 HF works normally.

5. Have someone walk across the pattern from outside of coverage until

6. When Transmitter LU 101/115 HF is triggered at the first time, LED will

turn on for about 2 sec. and send out the signal to receiver, then turn off. It takes about 5 seconds for the transmitter to reactivate. If transmitter keeps being triggered within the 5 seconds (after the first trigger), the time meter will recount. Transmitter will NOT activate, which means it will not send out the signal to the receiver. Transmitter needs to be at non-triggered status for at least 5 seconds after being triggered at first time, then it is able to be activated again.

7. The detection zone is adjustable by adjusting meter and sensor head.

8. Repeat step 6 to step 8 until the detection coverage zone meets your

requirement. Note: Whatever the meter knob to be adjusted at any position, the farthest of detection range can not be treated as normal detecting area. TROUBLE SHOOTING
