RC 280i - Motion detector Esylux - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL RC 280i Esylux

• Make sure that the detector has a clear line of sight, as infrared beams cannot penetrate solid objects.

• To avoid influencing the light sensor, maintain a minimum distance of 1 m in relation to the connected lighting and do not point light sources directly at the detector.

• When installing the device, bear in mind the surrounding area e.g. neighbouring properties or the distance to the road.

• The motion detector should only be installed on a stable, flat surface (wall/ceiling). The wall base unit and sensor are connected. For installation purposes, separate the two parts. Fit the screwdriver into the side opening and lever in the direction of the sensor, pulling the detector away from the wall base (Fig. 2.1). If mounting on a wall, the cable inlets must face downwards. If mounting on a ceiling, the cable inlets must face forwards. Feed the cable into the detector and mount the wall base unit in the required position (Fig. 3). Connect the motion detector according to the circuit diagram (Fig. 4). CAUTION: The maximum in-rush current must not be exceeded when connecting to capacitive loads such as electronic ballasts or fluorescent lamps with parallel compensation. (4.1) Standard operation (RC 130i – RC 280i). (4.2) Parallel connection of max. 8 devices. (4.3) When connecting inductors (e.g. relays, contactors, ballasts) the use of a filter (A) may be necessary. (4.4) Standard operation with additional permanent lighting function through external switch. (4.5) Parallel connection and automatic stairwell light. (4.6) Standard operation with the additional possibility of switching on by hand. If fitting to a ceiling, the two sensor parts are turned away from each other by 180° (Fig. 5). Press the sensor into the wall base until it clicks into place (Fig. 2.2). (4.7) Standard operation (RC 230i UC). NB: The motion detector’s sensor must be facing downwards.

4 • START-UP AND SETTING

After the device has been successfully installed and the power supply switched on, the device will perform a self-test (lasting about 60 seconds), the red focus LED and the blue mode LED will flash alternately. During the self-test, certain functions can be enabled by the optional remote control Mobil-RCi. The connected system is activated. After the automatic test has been performed, the device will be operational. The setting elements are concealed in the housing. By pressing up and letting go of the lens, the sensor head is unlocked and protrudes from the housing by approx. 1 cm. Repeat this procedure to allow the sensor to return to its original, locked position (Fig. 6, works like a retractable ballpoint pen). A range of further setting options/special functions are available with the optional Mobil-RCi remote control. Test mode Turn the operation selector switch (Fig. 7.1) to “Test”. During the test mode, the focus LED remains permanently on.

= Contact gap < 1.2 mm Use this product only as intended (as described in the user instructions). Changes or modifications to the product or painting it will result in loss of warranty. You should check the device for damage immediately after unpacking it. If there is any damage, you should not install the device under any circumstances. If you suspect that safe operation of the device cannot be guaranteed, you should turn the device off immediately and make sure that it cannot be operated unintentionally. 2 • DESCRIPTION ESYLUX RCi series motion detectors have a 130°/230°/280° field of detection and 360° anti-creep protection. ESYLUX motion detectors are passive infrared detectors which react to moving heat sources (e.g. people or vehicles) (Fig. 1 (1) 360° anti-creep protection (2) head-on to detector (3) diagonally to detector). If the motion detector senses a change in thermal radiation inside its field of detection, depending on the set light value, it will activate the connected system (e.g. lighting) for a preset length of time. The ESYLUX RCi motion detector series can be mounted onto a wall or ceiling without the need for further accessories. The device can be mounted on inner and outer corner walls using accessories. The ESYLUX RCi motion detector features factory settings and the detector operates according to preset values (10 lux, 2 min, max. electronic range). The values can be individually modified. The device can be preset using either the adjusting controllers on the device or, more conveniently, using the ESYLUX Mobil-RCi and Mobil- RCi-M remote controls (available as an option). NB: To activate the detector’s complete range of functions, the Mobil-RCi remote control is required.

3 • INSTALLATION/ASSEMBLY/CONNECTION

Before installing the device, observe the following:

• Turn off the power supply.

• Information concerning range is based on an installation height of 2.50 m. (The field of detection will vary according to the height)

• For optimum performance (i.e. maximum range), position the device so that people vehicles are moving parallel to the detector (Fig. 1).10

Auto/RC mode : Device operates according to the factory settings or the parameters defined using the remote control. Factory settings Set the operation selector switch (Fig. 7.1) to “ ”. If no values have yet been defined with the remote control, the detector operates according to the factory settings. These consist of a fixed value for the on-period, the electronic setting for the range and the light value (2 min/max. electronic range/10 lux). The values can be individually modified using the remote control. To return settings to the original default values, press the Reset button (ensure that you are in programming mode) on the Mobil-RCi remote control. Setting element: on-period (Fig. 7.3) Adjustable on-period: impulse, 15 seconds – 16 minutes (up to 30 minutes via Mobil-RCi remote control). Impulse means that the device is activated for approx. 1 second followed by a break of 9 seconds in which no movement is detected. The red focus LED flashes twice for each sequence. After the break, a new sequence is triggered if motion is detected. This is suitable, for example, for controlling automatic stairwell lights or a doorbell. Setting element: light value (Fig. 7.4) The light value is infinitely variable between 2 – 2500 lux. Setting element: range adjustment (Fig. 7.2) Depending on the model, there are 1 to 3 setting elements. The controller for setting the range is independent of the operation selector switch setting. Range adjustment: from approx. 20 m – approx. 5 m. 6 • REMOTE CONTROL NB: To be able to use the Mobil-RCi remote control, the operation selector switch must be set to

” (Fig. 7.1). If the selector switch is set to “ ” and settings have not yet been input by remote control, the device will operate according to default factory settings (10 lux/2 min/max. electronic range). All settings programmed by remote control are permanently stored in the memory and will not be lost in the event of a power failure. Using the Mobil-RCi and Mobil-RCi-M remote control (Fig. 10) the settings can be easily programmed without needing to climb a ladder or use any tools. For optimum reception, when programming the settings, point the remote control at the motion detector. Please note that if the sun shines directly on the sensor, the standard detection range of approx. 6 m may be dramatically reduced owing to the sun’s infrared rays.

6.1 Acknowledgement of commands:

6.2 Standard functions/programming mode

There are basically two different options for entering values via the remote control. NB: Test mode can also be activated using the Mobil-RCi remote control (see section 6).

4.1 Loaded test mode (LTM)

Regardless of the ambient brightness, if motion is detected, the detector switches the device and the blue mode LED on for 1 second and off for 2 seconds.

4.2 Load-free test mode (LFTM)

Regardless of the ambient brightness, if motion is detected, the blue mode LED will switch on for 1 second and off for 2 seconds. NB: The load-free test mode (LFTM) function is deactivated in the factory settings. Activation or deactivation is only possible during the self-test. Switch the power supply on and press the TEST button during the self-test. The load-free test mode (LFTM) function is now activated. To disable this function, press during self-test again the TEST button or while the device is in programming mode the RESET button (resets factory settings). The following possibilities are available to adjust the field of detection to the surrounding area:

• Turning the sensor head horizontally by +/- 90° (unlock sensor head first, see Fig. 6). The central position is indicated by the red arrow.

• Adjust the range for each sensor field by mechanically adjusting the internal lens mask (Fig. 7.2). The position is displayed optically by the red focus LED (Fig. 8). The RC 130i has 1 sensor, the RC 230i has 2 sensors and the RC 280i has 3.

• Use of the supplied, customisable covering cap for masking specific areas (Fig. 9). Once the field of detection is set, turn the operation selector switch to “ ” to make the adjustments using the setting elements on the device, or to “ ” to run the factory settings or to make other settings using the remote control. 5 • OPERATION/PROGRAMMING Every time movement is detected the red focus LED briefly flashes twice. This function can be switched off (see section 6). Depending on the set light value, the motion detector will switch the system on for the on-period. Setting element: operation selector switch (Fig. 7.1) NB: The operation selector switch allows you to set the parameters for the device. You can either simply select the values using the setting elements (Fig. 7.3 and 7.4) on the device or use the factory settings, or the parameters set using the remote control. You can toggle the settings at any time; the defined values apply. Test mode: See Test mode section Manual mode : Device operates according to the parameters set via the setting elements (Fig. 7.3 and 7.4) on the device.11

The device operates according to the preset factory settings (10 lux/2 min/max. electronic range). NB: If the continuous lighting OFF function is to be used further, it must be re-enabled. Master X This is used to activate the continuous lighting OFF function (see Continuous lighting ON/OFF) and to cancel the time settings. Electronic range adjustment This function electronically increases the range by +15 % or decreases it by -30 %. The button reinstates the basic settings. 7 • PRACTICAL ADVICE

• Small animals, nearby trees or bushes moving in the wind may trigger the device.

• The detector’s range can be dramatically reduced by objects moving towards it, rather than parallel with it. 8 • DISPOSAL NOTE: this device must not be disposed of as unsorted household waste. Used devices must be disposed of correctly. Contact your local town council for more information. Operating continuous lighting ON/OFF Continuous light mode OFF disabled – Every time the button is pressed, the light switches ON for 12 hours. Continuous light OFF enabled – Pressing the button once switches the light ON for 12 hours. If the button is pressed again, the light will switch OFF for 12 hours. Press the button again to switch the light OFF – ON – OFF – ON. NB: Pressing the button deactivates the special impulse mode, alarm mode and holiday mode functions. After the 12-hour „continuous ON/OFF“ period has expired, or if the button is pressed, the detector will switch to automatic mode. 360° anti-creep protection ON/OFF (programming mode) Deactivates the downward-facing 360° sensor to avoid the device switching on accidentally. Press the button again to reactivate anti- creep protection. Focus LED ON/OFF (programming mode) Press this button once to switch off the focus LED – press again to switch it back on. The focus LED briefly lights up to indicate that it is active. NB: When the focus LED is switched off, a signal is still acknowledged by two flashes of the “blue mode” LED. Alarm mode (programming mode) If movement is detected, the detector switches ON for 1 second and OFF for 1 second. This continues for 30 seconds (flashing phase). Then the light switches to continuous mode for the rest of the on-period, or another alarm phase is triggered if motion is detected. To cancel, press the button. To end the alarm function, press the RESET button. Holiday mode (programming mode) This function activates the connected lighting for 1 to 8 hours once a predefined light value has been reached, regardless of whether motion is detected or not. Once this period of continuous lighting has elapsed, the motion detector switches back to automatic mode. The process is repeated every day. Setting: one hour is added each time the holiday mode button is pressed. The set number of hours is indicated by the blue mode LED. When the holiday mode button is pressed for the first time, the blue mode LED lights up for a prolonged period and is then briefly interrupted: this means 1 hour is set. When the holiday mode button is pressed for the second time, the blue mode LED lights up for a prolonged period and is then interrupted twice: this means 2 hours are set. This process continues up to a setting of 8 hours. If the button is pressed for a ninth time the system returns to 1 hour.13
