Proper use

The IS 360-3 outdoor sensor can be used as an indoor and outdoor motion detector. Working with three pyro sensors, it detects heat radiated from moving objects and switches ON lights that are connected to it. The product is only suitable for installing on ceilings and may only be operated in line with the technical specifications.

All connecting work at the electrical connections may only be carried out by a qualified electrician and in compliance with national regulations.

Connection examples (Fig. E)

STEINEL IS 3603 - Connection examples (Fig. E) - 1

Danger

Danger to life from electric shock!

All work at the connections may only be performed by a qualified electrician.

Connecting lights

▶ Connect lights that do not have a neutral conductor as shown in connection example 1.
▶ Connect lights that do have a neutral conductor as shown in connection example 2.

Installing two-circuit switch

If you want to switch OFF all connected lights via switch:

▶ install a two-circuit switch for manual and automatic operation (connection example 3).

Installing two-way switch

If you want to switch ON and OFF manually and also use sensor mode (automatic):

▶ Install a two-way switch (connection example 4).

Two-way switch options:

  • Position I Sensor mode (switching ON and OFF automatically)
  • Position II manual operating mode: switching ON and OFF via switch; after switching OFF, sensor mode is reactivated

Activating and deactivating manual override

A two-way switch provides a manual override function for lights connected.

To activate manual override:

▶ Turn the light switch to the OFF and ON positions twice in rapid succession (within less than half a second). Manual override keeps light ON permanently for four hours and then returns to sensor mode.

To deactivate manual override:

▶ Turn the light switch to the OFF and ON position once in rapid succession (within less than half a second). The light immediately switches to sensor mode.

Settings (Fig. F)

During installation or at a later time, you can infinitely adjust the stay-ON time and the response threshold via the control dials.

▶ Using a screwdriver, turn the control dials to the chosen positions:

STEINEL IS 3603 - Settings (Fig. F) - 1

Stay-ON time

+ maximum: 15 minutes - minimum: 5 seconds

If you have set a stay-ON time of 15 minutes, the sensor will switch OFF the connected lights after 15 minutes.

If the sensor detects further movement, the stay-ON time will start from the beginning again.

Using the response threshold, you can infinitely adjust the level of ambient light at which the sensor switches on the lights connected.

STEINEL IS 3603 - Stay-ON time - 1

Response threshold

+ maximum: 1000 lux

Daylight mode: the sensor switches light ON in day-light when it identifies a movement.

STEINEL IS 3603 - Response threshold - 1

- minimum: 2 lux

Twilight setting: the sensor switches light ON at twilight. If the ambient brightness is brighter than 2 lux, the sensor does not switch light ON.

Detection zone (Fig. G)

Is the sensor switching light ON too often because it is being triggered by objects in the detection zone (e.g. in response to passing vehicles)?

You can mask the sensor with shrouds (8) to restrict the detection zone.

▶ Detach the cover ring and the shrouds.
▶ Using a pair of scissors, cut the shrouds to size horizontally and/or vertically.
▶ Fit the shrouds to the sensor and, if necessary, adjust them to the appropriate position.
▶ Re-fit the cover ring.

Operation

Perform function test

▶ Set the response threshold to the current ambient brightness. The factory setting is daylight operation.
▶ Set the stay-ON time to a very short period. The factory setting is 5 seconds.
▶ Fit the sensor housing onto the holder and push it home until it clips into place.
▶ Tighten the housing attachment screw (7).

▶ Switch the power ON.
▶ Check whether the sensor responds to a movement and switches the light ON.

If it does, the sensor is ready for operation:

▶ Select your chosen settings and refit the cover ring (9).

If it does not:

▶ Check the connections and the voltage supply.

Attention

Product damage from improper servicing

Servicing or repair work may only be performed by Steinel service stations.

Sensor will not switch ON

Either incorrect settings have been made, there is a power-related fault or the sensor is faulty:

▶ Check the setting for the response threshold and, if necessary, set a higher lux level.
▶ Check the cables, connections and the voltage supply, change a fuse if necessary.
▶ Carry out a function test on the sensor and on the lights connected, replacing any faulty items.

Sensor will not switch OFF

Either incorrect settings have been made, manual override is activated or there is permanent movement or a source of heat in the detection zone.

▶ Check whether the response threshold setting is too low, correcting the setting if necessary.
▶ Check whether the light has been switched ON manually via a switch.
▶ Check whether there are any sort of heat or anything else inadvertently triggering the sensor in the detection zone and remove them.
▶ If necessary, limit the detection zone with the shrouds.

Sensor switching ON when it should not

The sensor is detecting constant movement or a source of heat in the detection zone, causing it to switch ON too often or when it should not.

▶ Check the detection zone for sources of heat or movement.
▶ Eliminate permanent sources of heat from the detection zone.
▶ If necessary, limit the detection zone with the shrouds.
