Frequently Asked Questions - 16850.B Vimar
How do I install the Vimar 16850.B motion detector?
First, turn off the power supply. Mount the detector on a wall or ceiling at a height of 2-2.5 meters using the provided screws. Connect the wires according to the diagram: L (live), N (neutral), and load. Then restore power and adjust settings.
What should I do if the light stays on continuously?
Check the time delay setting; if set too high, reduce it. Also ensure the night/day sensor is not covered. If the problem persists, the detection may be triggered by heat sources like air vents or pets. Adjust sensitivity or reposition.
How can I adjust the detection range?
Adjust the sensitivity control (usually a potentiometer) on the detector. Turning it clockwise increases range, counterclockwise decreases. Also, the mounting height and angle affect range. Optimal range is up to 12 meters.
What is the recommended mounting height?
For best performance, mount the detector at a height of 2 to 2.5 meters above ground. This ensures optimal coverage of the detection area and reduces false triggers.
Why does my motion detector trigger false alarms?
False alarms can be caused by rapid temperature changes, moving branches, nearby heat sources, or pets. Adjust the sensitivity, reposition the detector away from windows/ducts, or use the pet immunity feature if available.
Can the Vimar 16850.B be used outdoors?
Yes, it has an IP44 rating, meaning it is protected against splashing water. However, avoid direct exposure to rain or strong water jets. Install it under an eave or sheltered area for longevity.
How do I reset the motion detector to factory settings?
Turn off the power for 30 seconds and then turn it back on. Some models may have a reset button; press and hold for 5 seconds. All settings will revert to default values.
What is the detection angle of the detector?
The detection angle is 180 degrees horizontally. This provides a wide coverage area, ideal for monitoring large spaces like corridors or gardens.
How to connect the detector to a light fixture?
Connect the load output wire from the detector to the light fixture's live wire. Ensure the neutral wires are connected directly. The detector functions as a switch; when motion is detected, it completes the circuit to turn on the light.
Is the 16850.B compatible with LED bulbs?
Yes, it is compatible with LED bulbs as long as the total load does not exceed the relay rating (usually 230V, 10A). For low-wattage LEDs, the minimum load requirement (if any) should be verified; otherwise, use a bypass resistor.
