DESCRIPTION
The DICROMAT MINI proximity switch detects invisible infrared from persons and other heat sources without emitting any type of radiation.
Its output circuits activate when a heat source moves below any of its detectors and deactivates when it no longer detects the movement after an
adjustable delay.
The DICROMAT MINI circuit, together with circuit 1 of the DICROMAT 2 MINI only react when light conditions are below the selected level. Circuit 2 of
the DICROMAT 2 MINI will always react independently of the regulated light intensity.

INSTALLATION
WARNING: The assembly and installation of the electrical apparatus must always be carried out by an authorised installer.
The unit is internally protected from interference by a security circuit. However, certain especially-strong electromagnetic fields can alter its operation
and therefore, it must not be installed close to inductive loads (motors and transformers etc.).
It must be taken into account during the DICROMAT MINI installation that detection occurs when crossing the detection beams and therefore, if the heat
source to be detected is moving in parallel to them (not crossing them), it will be detected at a shorter distance because it will not cross the beams until
it is very close to the sensor.
The arrows in the upper figures indicate the direction of movement of the person or object to be detected.
The ambient temperature of the premises where the DICROMAT MINI is installed has a significant influence on detection sensitivity and hence, the
detection distance. Sensitivity falls with increasing temperature because the unit operates on the movement of a heat source. The closer the ambient
temperature approaches 36ºC (in most cases 36ºC is the human body temperature), the poorer the detection.
Fog or rain can negatively affect the detection field. Heavy clothing can reduce the amount of heat emitted and thus, reduce detection sensitivity.
If there are two DICROMAT MINI units in the same zone, the lamp operated by one must not be within the detection field of the other.
INSTALLATION
Flush-mounted in the ceiling, or other surfaces, ensuring that there are no highly reflective surfaces (liquids) within its detection area, elements subject
to sudden temperature changes (heating or air-conditioning) or light sources that could move with the wind (curtains or small tress etc.). A 55-mm hols
must be drilled to secure the detection sensor. The ceiling or surface thickness must be between five and twenty mm.
SWITCH OFF ALL MAINS POWER BEFORE COMMENCING THE INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION OPERATIONS; SWITCH IT BACK ON
WHEN THE UNIT IS FULLY INSTALLED.
Remove the case by loosening the screws at both ends of the power supply module.
Connect the power supply and the load in accordance with the following diagrams:
Carefully verify all connections made. Connect the sensor to its corresponding RJ11 connector. Replace the power supply module and secure it with the
screws. Position the module on the ceiling or other installation location. Secure the module to the ceiling. Fit the tabs inside the hole in the ceiling. Firmly
press it until the sensor edge is flush with the ceiling.
