The ELKO Motion Sensor with Switch 10A is designed to detect moving heat sources and control electrical loads. It supports automatic and manual operation, as well as extension units for multi-point control. Safety Warning: Installation must be performed by a qualified professional. Always disconnect the power supply before working on the device to prevent electric shock.
Installation
Ensure the device is disconnected from the circuit during insulation resistance tests. The wiring requires connection to the installation network. Refer to the wiring diagram for proper terminal connections, including the extension unit (mechanical push-button).
Operating Modes
- Automatic Mode: The sensor automatically switches loads on and off based on motion detection and ambient brightness.
- Manual Mode: Loads can be switched on or off locally using the push-button, regardless of ambient brightness.
- Secondary Mode: Used to send a trigger command to a primary motion sensor when motion is detected.
Settings
The device features two potentiometers for configuration:
- Detection Brightness: Adjustable between 5 and 500 lux.
- Overtravel Time: Adjustable between 1 second and 30 minutes.
A test mode is available to verify installation and motion detection without switching loads.
Troubleshooting
- If the load does not switch on, increase the detection brightness.
- If the load is permanently switched on, reduce the overtravel time.
