How to use

The device should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. Once mounted in a standard wall box, the sensor monitors the designated area for motion. When movement is detected, the internal relay closes the circuit to turn on the connected lighting. The device operates automatically, requiring no manual input once the sensitivity and timing parameters are configured during the installation process.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the installation location is indoors and dry.
• Verify that the total load of the connected lighting does not exceed the relay capacity.
• Check the dimensions to ensure compatibility with your existing wall boxes.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, position the sensor in a location where it has a clear line of sight to the area where movement is expected. Avoid placing the sensor directly facing heat sources or windows with direct sunlight, as these can cause false triggers.
