2 · DESCRIPTION
ESYLUX RCi series motion detectors have a 130^ / 230^ / 280^ field of detection and 360^ anti-creep protection. Features a zero cross circuit. 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 coil 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 2.50m . (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).
-
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 1m 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 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. 1cm . 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.

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 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 button or while the device is in programming mode the button (retsets 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 " Auto RC " 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 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.
Auto/RC mode Auto (RC)) 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 "Auto RC"). 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. 20m - approx. 5m .
6-REMOTE CONTROL

NB: To be able to use the Mobil-RCi remote control, the operation selector switch must be set to "Auto RC" (Fig. 7.1). If the selector switch is set to "A@nd RB-g" have not yet been input by remote control, the device will operate according to default factory rates (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. 6m may be dramatically reduced owing to the sun's infrared rays.
