- Ensure that the wiring that connects the sensor\/power pack to the power\/loads is correct. Incorrect wiring can reduce performance and\/or present a safety hazard. It is advisable to consult the installation manual closely or seek professional assistance if uncertainties arise during the installation process.<\/li>\n\n
- Ensure that the sensor is placed and oriented as it was in the original drawings. Deviations from the planned layout can significantly impact the sensor’s effectiveness. Additionally, consider environmental factors such as heat sources or air currents that might affect the sensor’s operation.<\/li>\n\n
- Real-world installation may require a series of adjustments in order to fine-tune and calibrate the sensor\u2019s operation. It’s crucial to test the sensor under various conditions to ensure it operates reliably under all expected circumstances. Consider environmental factors such as the placement of furniture or equipment that might obstruct the sensor’s field of view.<\/li><\/ul>
Time-Delay<\/h2>
The time-delay setting allows the operator to adjust how long the lights will stay on after the last instance of motion is detected. The usual recommended minimum delay is 15 minutes. This does several things.<\/p>
First, it avoids on-off cycles that are too frequent, if occupants enter and leave the room on a regular basis. This prevents the occupants of the room from being distracted, and will also prolong the life of the bulb. It also prevents the lights from going off too soon if an occupant has entered the room but does not move after his or her entrance. Finally, it generates an acceptable compromise between energy savings and performance.<\/p>
For different environments, adjusting the time-delay to suit the specific usage patterns can optimize energy savings without sacrificing comfort. For instance, in a rarely used storeroom, a shorter delay might be more appropriate, whereas in a busy office, a longer delay ensures that the lights remain on as needed. In environments such as libraries or study areas, where occupants may remain still for longer periods, considering a longer time-delay may be beneficial to avoid disruptions.<\/p>
Motion Sensitivity<\/h2>
This setting allows for the sensor\u2019s sensitivity to motion to be adjusted. The lower the sensitivity, the more sensitive the sensor will be to motion, meaning even small motions will turn on the lights. Higher sensitivity settings will require more distinct motions to activate the sensor. Following the installation of the sensor, there is usually a trial period during which the operator can work with the room\u2019s occupants to fine-tune this setting to their satisfaction.<\/p>
