USAGE
The Occupancy Detector sensor has been desined to switch
lihtin, heatin and ventilation loads up to 10A. The unit is
switched on by the detection of movin infra red heat within a
specified rane. When infra red heat, such as a movin body,
is no loner detected, the unit will switch o the load after the
adjustable time period has elapsed. If infra red heat is detected
aain durin the timin period, the timin sequence will restart.
The unit has a lux level adjustment and Auto Lux function, which
measures the ambient liht levels and prevents lihtin bein
switched on, when there is sucient lihtin in the room. There
is a sensitivity adjustment and test mode function added for your
convenience.
The Ceilin Mount Occupancy Detector comes with surface and
flush mounted options. It also has interchaneable white and
chrome fascias.

Overview

The Newlec Occupancy Detector is a ceiling-mounted sensor designed to automatically control lighting, heating, and ventilation loads up to 10A. It operates by detecting moving infrared heat within a specified range. When movement is detected, the connected load is switched on. If no infrared heat is detected for an adjustable time period, the load will switch off. The timing sequence restarts if movement is detected again during the active period.

Key Features and Functionality:

  • Automatic Load Control: Switches loads (lighting, heating, ventilation) on and off based on the detection of moving infrared heat.
  • Adjustable Time Delay: The duration for which the load remains on after the last detection is adjustable from 2 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Sensitivity Adjustment: Allows users to fine-tune the sensor's sensitivity to motion, increasing it by turning anti-clockwise towards 'High' and decreasing it by turning clockwise towards 'Low'.
  • Lux Level Adjustment (Daylight Control):
    • Auto Lux (150 Lux): Dip switch 4 set to ON enables activation only from dusk until dawn, preventing the load from switching on if there is sufficient ambient light.
    • Manual Lux: Dip switch 4 set to OFF allows manual adjustment of the lux level potentiometer. Turning it fully to the plus (+) setting enables activation day and night, while turning it fully to the minus (-) setting effectively switches off the detector by setting the timer to zero lux.
  • Test Mode: A 10-second test mode is available for initial setup and walk testing, allowing quick verification of detection and timing.
  • Mounting Options: Supports both flush mounting (requiring a 64mm diameter hole) and surface mounting (using a surface mount cup).
  • Interchangeable Fascias: Comes with both white and chrome fascias for aesthetic flexibility.
  • Power Factor Correction (Optional): For low wattage loads (e.g., LED loads), a 4 microfarad power factor correction capacitor (Newlec NL5705A) may be required. This capacitor is fitted across the switch live and neutral. If the detector is switching a contactor and it chatters or stays ON, an NL5705A capacitor should be fitted across the switch live and neutral of the contactor coil.

Technical Specifications:

  • Rating: 240V AC, 50Hz
  • Load Type: All load types
  • Maximum Load: 10A
  • Time Delay Range: 2 minutes to 1 hour (with a 10-second test mode)
  • Lux Sensor: Auto and Manual Lux Sensor for Daylight Control
  • Mounting Hole (Flush): 64mm diameter

Usage and Installation Guidelines:

  • Positioning is Crucial:
    • Avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight, areas with high reflective surfaces, on vibrating surfaces, or near forced air heating and ventilation.
    • Do not place within 1 meter of the load.
    • Sensors work best when objects move across their field of view. Position the sensor to detect people walking across the detection zones rather than directly towards them.
    • Careful positioning helps achieve optimum performance and prevents false triggers.
  • Wiring:
    • All wiring must be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician in accordance with IEE Wiring regulations BS7671.
    • The circuit must be isolated before any work is performed.
    • Connect Live In to the terminal marked 'Live In', switched Live Out to the 'Live Out' terminal, and Neutral to the 'N' terminal.
    • For multiple units, connect live, switch live, and neutrals as shown in the wiring diagrams.
    • Do not insulation resistance test this product; remove it before testing or test the circuit prior to fitting.
  • Setup Procedure:
    1. Position the detector correctly, either flush or surface mounted. Seal any large holes to prevent air current activation.
    2. Ensure mains power is off. Connect wiring (Live In, Switched Live Out, Neutral).
    3. Secure the unit in place (flush mounting: fold arms up; surface mounting: fit cup onto ceiling).
    4. Remove the fascia by turning anti-clockwise to access the lux pot, sensitivity pot, and Dip switches. Adjust gently.
    5. Set Auto Lux (Dip switch 4 ON) or Manual Lux (Dip switch 4 OFF and adjust potentiometer).
    6. Adjust sensitivity (anti-clockwise for High, clockwise for Low).
    7. Set time delay using the Dip switch timing diagram.
    8. Replace fascia ring by turning anti-clockwise.
  • Initialisation: The detector takes approximately 2.5 minutes to initialise after mains power is applied, flashing rapidly as it learns its environment. The load will turn ON after 7 seconds initially, then switch OFF after 2.5 minutes if no detection occurs.
  • Operation: In standard operation, the detector senses infrared heat. Each trigger resets the timer. A 5-second delay occurs before the detector can re-trigger. The load only activates if the ambient light level is below the set lux level.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

  • Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive guide is provided to help resolve common issues before contacting technical support.
  • Load will not switch OFF:
    • Check terminal connections and time settings.
    • Reposition if too close to the load (lighting, heating, ventilation).
    • Fit NL5705A capacitor if switching low wattage/LED loads.
    • Adjust sensitivity down if affected by windy weather.
    • Ensure the area is unoccupied for longer than the set time if the detector is re-triggering.
    • Gradually adjust sensitivity towards the low setting.
  • Load will not switch ON:
    • Check terminal connections.
    • Turn off Auto Lux, turn UP lux level to the PLUS (+) setting, and wait for sensor to adjust if lux is set too low.
    • Gradually increase sensitivity towards the High setting if sensitivity is too low.
  • Load switches OFF and then immediately comes back ON:
    • Check terminal connections.
    • Identify and remove sources triggering the detector if it's detecting normally.
    • Reposition away from heat sources if it's detecting infrared heat from the load.
    • Fit NL5705A capacitor if switching low wattage/LED loads.
    • Fit NL5705A capacitor across the contactor coil if a contactor is chattering or staying ON.
  • No Slave Units: This is an all-master system; do not use slave units. These occupancy detectors can only be wired with each other.
  • Terminal Changes: Be aware of changes to terminals from previous ceiling mount timers. Do not wire neutrals unless terminals are marked with 'N'.

Important Notice: Failure to adhere to the instructions will invalidate the warranty.
