Frequently Asked Questions - 1530623 Renkforce

How to adjust the motion detector sensitivity?

Use the SENS dial: turn right (+) to increase sensitivity, left (-) to reduce it. This allows you to adjust the range and avoid false triggers.

Why does the light stay on permanently?

This may be due to continuous movement in the detection area (including in adjacent rooms thanks to HF technology). Reduce sensitivity with the SENS dial or set a shorter operating time to test.

How to test the detector operation?

Set the TIME dial to 10 seconds, turn LUX fully to the sun symbol, and set SENS to mid-range. Cross the detection area: the green LED should flash and the load switch on.

What is the maximum range of the detector?

The range is adjustable from approx. 1 to 15 meters, depending on mounting height, object size, sensitivity setting, and surrounding materials.

Can the detector detect through walls?

Yes, partially. HF signals pass through some materials: plastic, wood, glass, and masonry < 30 cm. However, reinforced concrete and metal completely block the signals. Thin partitions may allow detection through them.

How to set the lighting duration after detection?

Turn the TIME dial: left to reduce (minimum 10 seconds), right to increase (up to 12 minutes). If a new movement is detected during this period, the time restarts.

What to do if the detector does not turn on at all?

First check the LUX dial setting: if it is too far left (moon symbol), the detector only operates in darkness. Also check the power supply (fuse, circuit breaker) and the bulb condition. Increase sensitivity if necessary.

Can the detector be mounted on a wall instead of a ceiling?

Yes, the detector can be wall-mounted (recommended height 1.5 to 3.5 m). In this case, maintain a distance of at least 1 meter from adjacent walls to avoid false triggers.

What is the power consumption of the detector?

The power consumption is approx. 0.9 W. The maximum switching power is 500 W for resistive loads (incandescent lamps, heaters).

How to maintain and clean the detector?

Always disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a dry, lint-free cloth. Never use harsh chemicals, alcohol, or chemical solvents, as they could damage the housing.

Functional description

The motion detector sends out signals in the 5.8 GHz range (much like a radar). These signals are reflected back from surfaces located within the detection range.

The integrated electronic system evaluates the received signals. If there is a motion within the detection range (no matter whether this is a human, animal or object), the signals received will change and the switching output of the motion detector is activated.

The range of detecting motion is determined by several factors:

The movement sensor's mounting height
The size of the object
- Settings of the control dial "SENS" (sensitivity) on the motion detector
- Distance from the object to the motion detector
- Speed of movement
Metal objects near the motion detector

The entire area surrounding the motion detector is captured due to the 360^ radial angle of detection and a 180^ opening angle. The range is up to 15m depending on the site of installation.

2 Brightness sensor
3 Dial "LUX" (brightness setting)
4 Dial.SENSs (sensitivity)
5 Mounting hole (one each on left and right on the motion detector)

8 Unlock button for connection terminals
9 Integrated antenna (this side must face the direction of the detection range)

Preparations for installation

• Only install the motion detector on a stable surface. Only use the motion detector when it is securely mounted.

Important!

are metal objects behind/under the mounting location (e.g., steel beams, plates or similar), the motion detector will not function properly

In addition, the flow of water or sewage pipes may trigger a switching process.

If you plan to mount several motion detectors, they must have a minimum distance of 2m to each other.

• Walls, furniture or the like will not inhibit the motion detection due to the high frequency technology used. Depending on the material thickness and humidity level, the degree of permeation can vary or the high frequency signal may be attenuated.

Material Permeation	Attenuation
Synthetic/plastics yes 5	- 10%
Wood yes 10 - 20%
Glass yes 15 - 30%
Brickwork	yes, with wall thickness of < 30 cm 60 - 70%
	no, with wall thickness of > 30 cm 100%
Reinforced concrete no	100%
Metal	no 100%

These values should only be seen as guideline values. There may be large variations depending on the materials and the environmental conditions.

• Ideally, the motion detector should be mounted on a ceiling. Depending on the room type and the desired function, it is also possible to mount it on a wall.

Make sure in any case that the product is mounted out of the reach of children. Children might otherwise open the motion detector, which could cause a fatal electric shock!
- Keep a distance of at least 1 m to the walls when mounting the motion detector on a ceiling. A larger distance is recommended for thin walls; otherwise, persons on the other side of the wall may also trigger a switching process.
Sensitivity and thus range can be reduced with the knob "SENS", if there are false activations.

Installation and connection

Please refer to the "Safety instructions" and "Preparations for installation" chapters!

The motion detector must be installed only when it is voltage-free. It is not sufficient to just turn off the light switch!

First switch off all poles of the mains supply by removing the fuse or switching off at the circuit breaker and then also switch off the associated residual current circuit breaker. Secure it against unauthorised reconnection, e.g., with a danger sign.

Check that the mains connection is free of current, i.e. with an appropriate tester.

• Make sure you fix the motion detector to a solid base, e.g., masonry. Use screws and, if necessary, screw anchors that are suitable for the surface.
• Fasten the motion detector with two screws and plugs to the room ceiling.

Pay attention when drilling and tightening the screws that no cables or pipes are damaged!

Depending on the mounting location, Ensure that contact protection is appropriate and, if necessary, connection cables or cable strain relief are properly fixed in place.

When selecting the mounting location, make sure that the brightness sensor is able to detect ambient brightness. Otherwise, the brightness control will not work via the "LUX" dial, and the motion detector switches the connected device (for example, a lamp) also during the day.

• Remove the insulation on the mains cable and the connection cable connected to the device. The individual wires of the lines must be stripped over a length of approx. 8 mm.
• Connect the individual wires of the mains cable and of the cable connected to the device with the terminal attachments in the motion detector.

To do this, insert the stripped cable into the corresponding terminal (cable cross section 0.75
- 1.5mm^2 ). Only one cable must be inserted into each terminal!

L = Phase, brown cable

N = Neutral wire, blue cable
L' = Switched phase, to the power consuming device
Pay attention to the figure below the terminals.

• To remove a cable from the terminal, press the corresponding unlock button using a suitable screwdriver. Afterwards, the cable can be pulled out again.
• The protective earth wire (PE, yellow-green cable) must be connected to a different place (e.g., to an external terminal box) since there is no corresponding attachment in the motion detector.
• Switch on the power.

Adjusting the motion detector

The motion detector has three control dials, which can be used to change the power-up time (rTIME^a) , the sensitivity (rSENS^a) and the switch-on threshold at a certain ambient brightness (_rLUX^a) .

a) Dial "TIME" (power-up time)

Using this control dial, you can set the power-up time for the output L' to the device. Turning it to the left will reduce the power-up time of the connected device, while turning to the right will extend the time.

A setting of 10 second (tolerance ± 3 seconds) up to 12 minutes (tolerance ± 1 minute) is possible.

If new motion is detected during the on-time, the duty cycle starts once again; the device stays switched on.

b) Dial „SENS“ (sensitivity)

With this control dial it is possible to configure how strong a motion must be in order to trigger a switching process.

Turning to the left, anticlockwise (towards - ) reduces the sensitivity, while turning to the right, clockwise (towards +^ ) increases it.

By adjusting the sensitivity, you can also control the range of the sensor (e.g., a person who walks through the monitoring area is recognised only at a closer proximity to the sensor, if sensitivity is reduced).

Should false activations occur often, reduce the sensitivity (by turning the dial a little to the left towards ^

c) Dial "LUX" (brightness setting)

The switching threshold is set by means of this dial and controls the ambient brightness at which the motion detector is activated (and then activates the connected consumer, if a movement in the detection range is detected).

Turning the dial anticlockwise to the left means the motion detector will activate when it is darker; turning it to the right, in the direction of the sun symbol, activates the motion detector in brighter conditions.

Functional test

To perform a function test, it is necessary to set a short switch-on time (turning the dial "TIME" to the setting "10S"). In addition, the dial for brightness ("LUX") must be turned completely to the right (in the direction of the sun symbol).

The desired sensitivity is to be set with the knob "SENS". For the first test, set the knob in the middle position.

Now cross the detection range. The motion detector activates the connected device when it detects motion within the detection range. In addition, a green LED lights up on the motion detector.

Set the dial accordingly after performing the function test. Then check whether the motion sensor responds the way you want under real-life conditions and adjust the setting of the dial step-by-step.

Troubleshooting

The connected device is not switched on

• Check the settings for the dial "LUX" used for the brightness control. Turning it too far to the left (anticlockwise) will cause the motion detector to activate only when it is dark.
• Check whether it is powered, and whether the device, (for example a lamp, a bulb) functioning.
• Increase the sensitivity (turning the dial ^n SENS ^n towards _n^n + 1 ).
• Rapid movements within the monitoring area are filtered out by the electronic system in order to prevent switching errors.

The connected device is switched on permanently

• There are constant movements within the monitoring area; this can also be a motion in an adjoining room detected by the high frequency technology used. Reduce the sensitivity (turning the dial, SENS towards).
  Please note: If the motion detector is activated by a movement and a new movement is detected during the on-time, the duty cycle starts again!
• Set a very short switch-on time for testing, in order to narrow down the causes.

The setting of the dial control "LUX" is not working properly

Always make sure that the brightness sensor is not covered.
- Ambient light prevents functioning at night. Turn the dial a bit more towards the sun symbol (thus the motion detector will already work in brighter surroundings).

Care and cleaning

• Disconnect the product from the mains supply before each cleaning procedure.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, since these could damage the casing or even impair operation.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
