Frequently Asked Questions - L 331 S STEINEL

How to adjust the detection zone?

Use the supplied snap-on covers to mask unwanted lens segments. You can break them along the pre-cut lines and place them on the lens. This reduces the zone to avoid false triggers.

What are the different programs available?

Four programs: P1 (standard, soft start without orientation light), P2 (comfort, soft start + 10% orientation light), P3 (economy comfort, orientation light until middle of night), P4 (Nightmatic, 100% light below threshold, no orientation light or motion detection).

What to do if the light does not turn on?

Check that the threshold is not set to night mode during daytime, that the mains switch is set to ON, that the fuse has not blown, and that the detection zone is not obstructed. Use a voltage tester to check the power supply.

How to activate forced operation?

Operate the mains switch 2 times OFF/ON within 0.2 to 1 second. The light turns on in forced operation for 4 hours (red LED on). To deactivate, operate once OFF/ON.

What does the economy comfort program P3 mean?

P3 activates the orientation light (10%) from dusk until the automatically detected middle of the night. The detector analyzes dark phases over several nights to determine the midpoint. After a power cut, recalibration is required.

Why does the light not turn off?

Possible causes: continuous movement in the detection zone, detector not snapped into place, or calibration phase in P3 mode. Check the zone, snap the detector in, or wait for calibration to finish (several nights).

How to reduce the detection range?

Use the snap-on covers to mask lens segments. You can also tilt or orient the detector differently during installation. The maximum tangential range is 7 m.

Can I replace the LED of the light?

No, the light source is not replaceable. If the LED is defective, the entire light must be replaced. Please contact a specialized workshop or customer service.

What is the standby power consumption?

The standby power (detector active) is 0.41 W.

How to clean the light?

Clean the light with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents or abrasive products. Make sure the power is off before cleaning.

2. General safety precautions

Disconnect the power supply before attempting any work on the unit.

• During installation, the electric power cable being connected must not be live.
  Therefore, switch off the power first and use a voltage tester to make sure the wiring is off-circuit.
• Installing the sensor-switched light involves work on the mains voltage supply.
  This work must therefore be carried out professionally in accordance with national wiring regulations and electrical operating conditions. (e.g. DE: VDE 0100, AT: ÖVE / ÖNORM E8001-1, CH: SEV 1000)
• Only use genuine replacement parts.
  • Repairs may only be made by specialist workshops.

3. L 330 S/L 331 S

Proper use:

– LED light for mounting on indoor and outdoor walls

Sensor-switched lights L 330 S and L 331 S are LED lights with motion detectors. The integrated high-performance infrared sensor is equipped with a double 360° sensor that detects the invisible heat emitted by moving objects (persons, animals etc.). The heat detected in this way is converted electronically into a signal that switches the light ON automatically. Heat is not detected through obstacles, such as walls or panes of glass. Heat radiation of this type will, therefore, not trigger the sensor.

Important:

The most reliable way of detecting motion is to install the sensor-switched light with the sensor aimed across the direction in which a person would walk and by ensuring that no obstacles (such as trees, walls etc.) obstruct the line of sensor vision. Reach is limited when walking directly towards the light.

4. Electrical connection

Wiring diagram (Fig. 4.1)

a) Single interconnection
b) Group interconnection

The supply lead is a 3-core cable:

L = phase conductor (usually black, brown or grey)

N = neutral conductor (usually blue)

PE = protective-earth conductor (green/yellow)

K = communication cable (optional)

If you are in any doubt, identify the conductors using a voltage tester; then disconnect from the power supply again. Connect phase (L) and neutral conductor (N) to the terminal, insulate protective-earth conductor (PE) and place it next to the connected conductors.

Important:

Incorrectly wired connections will produce a short circuit later on in the product or fuse box. In this case, you must identify the individual conductors once again and reconnect them. A mains power switch for turning the unit ON and OFF may of course be installed in the mains supply lead.

Group behaviour

Communication cable (K) permits internal STEINEL group interconnection of L 330 S and L 331 S.

As many as 10 lights can be interconnected with each other. Maximum communication cable length is 50 m. The first light in a group to detect movement switches the entire group ON. If no further movement is detected after the time setting selected, the last light in a group to detect movement switches the entire group OFF.

Note:

• No voltage must be connected to the communication cable. Do no actuate any external loads.
  – Within the interconnected group, all lights operate in line with their specific control dials.
• The same programme must be selected for all lights.

The light source of this luminaire cannot be replaced. If the light source needs to be replaced (e.g. at the end of its service life), the complete luminaire must be replaced.

5. Mounting

• Check all components for damage.
• Do not use the product if it is damaged.
• When installing the sensor-switched light, make sure the installation site is not exposed to vibration.
• Select an appropriate mounting location, taking the reach and motion detection into consideration.

Mounting procedure

• Switch OFF power supply (Fig. 4.1)
• Unscrew light enclosure from base (Fig. 5.1)
  • Mark drill holes (Fig. 5.2)
• Drill holes and insert wall plugs (Fig. 5.3)
  • Installation with concealed power supply lead (Fig. 5.4)
  • Installation with surface-mounted power supply lead (Fig. 5.5)
• Connect conductors (Fig. 5.6)
  • Fit sealing ring (Fig. 5.7)

6. Function

Factory settings

Programme setting: P 1

Twilight level: 1000 lux

Time setting: 5 seconds

Once installed, the sensor-switched light can be put into operation. Control dials are provided on the sensor unit for selecting the time-, twilight- and programme settings.

• Remove the sensor after pressing the locking tab with a flat-tip screwdriver (Fig. 6.1)
• The sensor-switched light switches to manual override (permanently ON)
• Make settings with a screwdriver (Fig. 6.2)

P1 Standard programme (controller 6.2/F)

- Soft light start / no basic light level

What is soft light start?

The sensor-switched light features a soft light start function. This means that when turned ON, the light is not switched directly to maximum output but constantly builds up brightness to 100% within a short period of time. Brightness is also gradually reduced when the light is switched OFF.

P2 User-friendly programme

• Soft light start + basic light level
  – Basic light level ON from twilight setting selected

What is basic light level?

Basic light level provides continuous night-time illumination at approx. 10% light output. The light only switches to maximum output (100%) for the time selected in response to movement in the detection zone. The light then returns to the basic light level (approx. 10%).

P3 User-friendly economy programme

• Soft light start + basic light level until the middle of the night
  – Basic light level ON from twilight setting selected until the middle of the night

How does the user-friendly economy programme work?

The sensor-switched light does not have an integrated clock. The middle of the night is only determined on the basis of the length of darkness phases. To work perfectly, therefore, it is important for the sensor-switched light to be permanently connected to the power supply during this period. During the first night (calibration phase) basic light level remains activated throughout the night. The values are saved even in the event of a mains power failure. We do not recommend interrupting the power supply during the programme. As the values are determined over several nights, the sensor-switched light should, in the event of any fault occurring, be monitored over several nights to ascertain whether the switch-off time moves towards midnight.

P4 Nightmatic programme

• Soft light start, no basic light level, no movement evaluation
• Switches ON at 100% if the light level falls below the level set

Twilight setting (controller 6.2/G)

The chosen response threshold can be infinitely varied from approx. 2 to 1000 lux.

• Control dial set to = daylight mode (depending on ambient brightness)
• Control dial set to = twilight mode (approx. 2 lux)

To adjust the detection zone in daylight operation, the control dial must be set to ✿ (daylight operation).

Time setting (controller 6.2/E)

The light's ON time can be set to any period from approx. 5 seconds to a maximum of 15 minutes. Any movement detected before this time elapses will restart the timer.

Manual override function

If a mains switch is installed in the mains supply lead, the following functions are available in addition to simply switching light ON and OFF:

Sensor operation

1) Switch light ON (when light is OFF):

Switch OFF and ON once.

Light stays ON for the period selected.

2) Switch light OFF (when light is ON):

Switch OFF and ON once.

Light goes out or switches to sensor operation.

Manual override (Fig. 6.4)

1) Activate manual override:

Switch OFF and ON twice. The light is set to stay ON for 4 hours (red LED lights up behind the lens). Then it returns automatically to sensor operation (red LED off).

2) Deactivate manual override:

Switch OFF and ON once. Light goes out or switches to sensor operation.

Important:

Switching must take place within 0.2 to 1 second.

Adjusting the detection zone (Fig. 6.5-6.9)

The detection zone can be limited to suit requirements. The shrouds supplied with the unit can be used to mask out as many lens segments as you wish. This prevents the light from being activated unintentionally, e.g. by cars, passersby etc., and allows you to target danger spots. The shrouds can be cut along the grooved vertical divisions. Then you simply clip them onto the lens.

The light can be operated without sensor. To do this, simply replace the sensor unit with the sealing plug.

(Fig. 6.3)

The light can be switched ON and OFF at a mains switch in the mains supply lead.

7. Maintenance and care

The product requires no maintenance.

The light can be cleaned with a damp cloth (without detergents) if dirty.
