Dear Customer,
Congratulations on purchasing your new STEINEL
SensorLight and thank you for the confidence you have
shown in us. You have chosen a high-quality product
that has been manufactured, tested and packed with the
greatest care.

Principle
The integrated high-performance infrared sensor is
equipped with a double 360° sensor that detects the
invisible heat emitted by moving objects (persons,
animals etc.).
The heat detected in this way is converted electronically
into a signal that switches the light ON automatically. Heat
is not detected through obstacles, such as walls or panes
of glass. Heat radiation of this type will, therefore, not trig-
ger the sensor. The unit achieves a coverage angle of 360°
Safety warnings
n Disconnect the power supply before attempting any
work on the unit.
n During installation, the electrical wiring you are con-
necting must be dead. Therefore, switch off
the power first and use a voltage tester to make sure
the wiring is off circuit.
Installation
The site of installation should be at least 50 cm away
from another light because heat radiated from it may
activate the system. To obtain the specified reach of
8 m, the sensor should be installed at a height of
approx. 1.8 – 2 m.
Connecting the mains supply lead (see illustration)
The mains lead consists of a 3 phase cable.
L
= phase (usually black, brown or grey)
N = neutral conductor (usually blue)
PE = protective earth conductor (green/yellow)
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 properly.
We hope your new STEINEL SensorLight will bring you
lasting pleasure.

Principle
Adjusting the detection zone
Manual override
Connecting terminal E
with an aperture angle of 90°. A sneak-by guard ensures
coverage below the sensor.
Important: The most reliable way of detecting motion is to
install the SensorLight with the sensor aimed across the
direction in which a person would walk and by ensuring
that no obstacles (such as trees and walls, for example)
obstruct the line of sensor vision.
Reach is limited when walking directly towards the light.
n Installing the SensorLight involves work on the mains
voltage supply. This work must therefore be carried
out professionally in accordance with the applicable
national wiring regulations and electrical operating
conditions.

If you are in any doubt, identify the conductors using a
voltage tester; then disconnect from the power supply
again. Phase (L), neutral conductor (N) are connected to
the terminal block. The protective earth conductor can
be connected to terminal E for wiring through to other
loads
.
Note: A mains switch for switching the unit ON and OFF
may of course be installed in the mains supply lead. A
mains switch is required for the manual override function
(see Manual override function)
.
Note: The light must only be connected to the mains
power once it has been fully assembled.

Functions

The SensorLight can be put into service after it has been
fully installed and connected to the mains power supply.
Control dials are provided on the removable sensor unit
for selecting time, twilight and programme settings. After

* Note on comfort economy programme
:
The sensor light does not have any integrated clock. The
middle of the night is only determined on the basis of
the length of darkness phases. To work perfectly, there-
fore, it is important for the SensorLight to be permanent-
ly connected to the power supply during this period.
During the first night (calibration phase) basic lighting
level remains activated throughout the night. Values
remain saved even in the event of mains power failure.
What is soft light start?
The SensorLight comes with a soft light start function.
This means that when the light is switched ON, it does
not go directly to maximum output but gradually
What is basic lighting level?
Basic lighting level provides continuous night-time
illumination at approx. 25 % light output. The light only
switches to maximum output of 100 % (for the time
selected, see Switch-off delay
) in response to move-
ment in the detection zone. The light then returns to
basic lighting level (approx. 25 %).
pressing engagement lug
with a flat-bladed screw-
driver, the sensor unit can be removed for ease of setting.
When the sensor is removed, the light automatically
switches to constant output.
Light ON time can be adjusted continuously from
5 sec. to 15 min.
Control dial set to – = shortest time (5 sec.)
Control dial set to + = longest time (15 min.)
To set the detection zone,
it is recommended to select the shortest time –.
The sensor's response threshold can be infinitely varied
from 2 – 2000 lux.
Control dial set to
= daylight operation
approx. 2000 lux.
Control dial set to
= night-time operation
approx. 2 lux.
To adjust the detection zone in daylight, the control dial
must be set to
(daylight operation).

increases brightness to 100 % over the space of one
second. Brightness is also gradually reduced when the
light is switched OFF.
Note: Depending on the local power grid, the LED's
may flicker slightly when dimmed. This is not a
product defect and no reason for complaint.
