3. Installazzjoni (Setup)

Before beginning installation, ensure all power is disconnected at the circuit breaker or fuse box. This device is designed for wall mount installation.

3.1 Immuntar

  1. Select a suitable mounting location, typically 8-15 feet above the ground, ensuring the sensor has an unobstructed view of the desired detection area.
  2. Securely attach the sensor to a junction box using appropriate hardware (not included). Ensure a watertight seal for outdoor applications.

3.2 Wajers

The GT500W sensor is hardwired and supports both 120V and 277V electrical systems. Refer to the wiring diagram below and consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

  • Qabbad il- ISWED wire from the sensor to the LINJA (HOT) wire from the power supply.
  • Qabbad il- ABJAD wire from the sensor to the NEWTRALI wire from the power supply.
  • Qabbad il- AĦMAR wire from the sensor to the LOAD (fixture) wajer.
  • Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with approved wire connectors.
  • Irrestawra l-enerġija fis-circuit breaker.

4. Operazzjoni

The GT500W sensor automatically detects motion and activates connected lighting. It features adjustable settings for optimal performance.

4.1 Medda ta 'Sejbien

The sensor provides a 110-degree field of view, detecting motion up to 70 feet away. The coverage area can be influenced by mounting height and environmental factors.

4.2 Aġġustament tas-Settings

The sensor includes controls for adjusting the run time and sensitivity. These controls are typically located on the underside or side of the sensor unit.

Figura 4.2: Eżample of adjustable sensitivity control.

  • Aġġustament tal-ĦIN: This dial controls how long the light remains on after motion is detected. Settings typically range from 10 seconds to 15 minutes. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the duration, counter-clockwise to decrease.
  • SENSITIVITY Adjustment: This dial controls the sensor's responsiveness to motion. Turn the dial clockwise for higher sensitivity (detects smaller movements or at greater distances), and counter-clockwise for lower sensitivity (reduces false triggers).

4.3 Manwal Override

The GT500W features a 6-hour protected manual override function, allowing the light to stay on continuously regardless of motion detection.

  • To activate manual override, quickly turn the light switch OFF and then ON within 2 seconds. The light will remain ON for approximately 6 hours.
  • To deactivate manual override and return to motion-sensing mode, quickly turn the light switch OFF and then ON again. The light will then operate based on motion detection and set time.

5. Manutenzjoni

The RAB Lighting GT500W motion sensor is designed for minimal maintenance.

  • Tindif: Naddaf il-lenti tas-sensorju perjodikament b'ċarruta ratba u damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that may obstruct detection. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Lamp Sostituzzjoni: If the connected PAR38 flood lamps fail, ensure power is disconnected before replacing them. Follow the lamp manufacturer's instructions for replacement.
