Installation Instructions
Dear Customer,
Congratulations on purchasing your new STEINEL
designer sensor-switched outdoor light and thank you
for the confidence you have shown in us. You have
chosen a high-quality product that has been manu-
factured, tested and packed with the greatest care.
Please familiarise yourself with these instructions
before attempting to install the SensorLight because
prolonged reliable and trouble-free operation will only
be ensured if it is fitted and started properly.
We hope your new SensorLight will bring you lasting
pleasure.

Principle
The SensorLight is an active motion detector. The
integrated HF-sensor emits high-frequency electro-
magnetic waves (5.8 GHz) and receives their echo.
Any movement by persons in the light's detection
zone is noticed by the sensor as a change in echo.
A microprocessor then triggers the 'switch light ON'
command. Detection is possible through doors,
panes of glass or thin walls.
Detection zones for wall mounting:
1) Minimum reach (2 m)
2) Maximum reach (5 m)
Safety warnings
n Disconnect the power supply before attempting any
work on the unit.
n During installation, the electric power cable to be
connected must not be live. Therefore, switch off
the power first and use a voltage tester to make
sure the wiring is off circuit.
n Installing the SensorLight involves work on the
mains voltage supply. This work must therefore be
carried out professionally in accordance with
national wiring regulations and electrical operating
conditions.

Note:
The high-frequency output of the iHF-sensor is
approx.1 mW – that's 1000 times less than the trans-
mission power of a mobile phone or the output of a
microwave oven.

Note:
The sensor is suitable for switching light ON automati-
cally. Weather conditions may affect the way the sen-
sor works. Strong gusts of wind, snow, rain or
hail may cause the light to come ON when it is not
wanted.
Installation
To obtain the specified reach of 5 m, the sensor
should be installed at a height of approx. 2 m.
Connecting the mains supply lead (see illustration)
The mains supply lead is a 3-core cable.
L = phase conductor (usually black or brown)
N = neutral conductor (usually blue)
PE = protective-earth conductor (green/yellow)
If you are in any doubt, identify the conductors using
a voltage tester; then disconnect from the power sup-
ply again. Phase (L) and neutral conductor (N) are
connected to the terminal block.
Important: Getting the cable connections crossed
will produce a short circuit in the unit or in your fuse
box. In this case, you must identify the individual con-
ductors once again and re-connect them.
A mains switch for switching the light ON and OFF
can of course be fitted in the mains lead.
Note: For connection, light enclosure must be
pushed onto mounting hook so as not to exert
tension on the internal conductors.
Time setting (switch-off delay)
Factory setting: 5 sec.
The light's ON time can be set to any
period from approx. 5 sec. and a
maximum of 15 min.
Adjustment control set to:
+ = maximum time (15 min.).
– = minimum time (5 sec.).
It is recommended to select the shortest time – for
setting the detection zone.
Any movement detected before this time elapses will
re-start the timer. The shortest time setting is recom-
mended when adjusting the detection zone and per-
forming a functional test.
Note: After the light switches OFF, it takes approx.
1 sec. before it is able to start detecting movement
again. The light will only switch ON in response to
movement once this period has elapsed.
Twilight setting (response threshold)
Factory setting: 2000 lux
The chosen response
threshold can be
infinitely varied from
approx. 2 – 2000 lux.
Adjustment control set to:
= daylight operation approx. 2000 lux.
= night-time operation approx. 2 lux.
To adjust the detection zone in daylight, the control
dial must be set to .
Programme setting
0 = Soft start / no basic lighting level ON as from
the selected twilight level
10 = soft start + basic lighting level 10 minutes
30 = soft start + basic lighting level 30 minutes
= soft start + basic lighting level all night long
5 sec. - 15 min.
2 – 2000 lux
The SensorLight can be put into operation as soon as
it has been connected to the mains power supply and
enclosure has been fitted. When the light is turned
ON manually at the light switch, it switches OFF after
10 secs. for the calibration phase and is then activat-
ed for operation in the sensor mode. It is not neces-
sary to actuate the light switch a second time.
Reach setting (sensitivity)
Factory setting: 5 m.
Reach can be infinitely varied from
1 m to 5 m.
Adjustment control set to:
+ = maximum reach 5 m
– = minimum reach 1 m
It is recommended to select the shortest time – for
setting the detection zone.
Reach is the term used to describe the diameter of
the detection zone produced on the ground when
mounting the SensorLight at a height of 2 m.
