Indoor motion detector

Description

The indoor motion detector detects moving heat sources and activates or deactivates Niko Home Control functions.

Overview

Operation

The indoor motion detector detects moving heat sources by using Passive Infrared Technology (PIR). When motion is detected, the motion detector activates or deactivates certain Niko Home Control functions. These functions are assigned while programming the installation by linking functions to the unique address of each indoor motion detector.

When a person enters the detection area, the motion detector initiates the starting behaviour. When the person has left the detection area or remains motionless within the area (up to 10 s after last detection) the stopping behaviour will be initiated.

The indoor motion detector includes a manual mode option. In manual mode, the indoor motion detector will behave as if there were permanent motion. Press the manual mode button to activate or deactivate this mode. If manual mode is not deactivated, the function linked to that motion detector will remain active for 4 hours.

Installation

The indoor motion detector consists of two parts: the sensor and the base. The bridge is mounted onto a standard flush- mounting box using screws.

• The indoor motion detector is for indoor use only.
• Mount the indoor motion detector at 90 - 110 cm above floor level.
• The maximum detection range is 8 m. 

To install the indoor motion detector:

1    Connect the base to the two-wire bus cable. There are two “B1” contacts and two “B2” contacts at the back of the

base. Connect each individual wire to one “B1” contact and one “B2” contact.

• Strip the wires of the bus cable 9 - 10 mm.
• A maximum of one wire with a diameter of 0.5 - 1 mm can be connected per contact.
• In this case, polarity does not matter.

The base is now connected. Use the other “B1” and “B2” contacts to establish a connection to the next control element if required.

2    Mount the base onto the single flush-mounting box using screws.

Use a base with a set of claws if no screw holes are provided in the flush-mounting box. Three types of bridges are available:

• bridge 60 x 71 mm with claw connection (Belgium)
• bridge 71 x 71 mm with screw connection (the Netherlands)

3    Press the sensor onto the base until it clicks into place.

Selecting the indoor motion detector settings

The potentiometer underneath the cover of the sensor can be used for changing the light sensitivity setting to any value between 5 and 1,200 lux.

To change these settings:

1    Open the cover.

2    Use a screwdriver to turn the potentiometer to the desired setting. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to decrease the light sensitivity (up to a maximum of 1,200 lux or daylight). Turn the potentiometer counter-clockwise to increase the light sensitivity

(up to a minimum of 5 lux or night-time).
