Setting a pir timeguard

[Lbooth]

Hi,

I’ve got a timeguard pir sensor for switching 3 led floodlights in various all at once. I’ve replaced it like for like as the lux dial had snapped off.

Wired it up and is illuminating on movement for minimum time set and going off great, but when I turn lux to dusk the light still comes on as if it’s in walk mode.

So at minute it’s coming on in daytime.

I did wonder do I need to power off before setting to dusk it’s just on normal pir sensor lights you can turn lux to total darkness and it when it goes out it doesn’t illuminate again till darkness

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

if you've turned up the time before setting the lux, it might stay on for a while in daytime. otherwise power down, then up again after a short delay 30 seconds or so.

Hi, thanks for your reply,

I’ve not adjusted the time element as yet so still on 5secs, what it’s doing is when the dial is set to moon, fully clockwise it’s coming on when you walk past sensor and same if it’s on fully anti-clockwise sun, it does go off after 5 secs but after turning to full moon I’d of thought it would stay off till fully dark.

Wondered if it was wiring which wasn’t right but the motion part is working great it’s coming on and going off as it should just the lux part that’s not right.

hate outdoor LEDs at the moment with a passion, my favorite to date are the Luceco brand that state the device may take up to 48 hours to calibrate to its surroundings. Great design that, install, cant test and get called back as they've failed to calibrate.

A pox on them all.

We’re going through jcc, luceco and osram pir led floods and having mixed luck tbh.

It may be that if you have a local switch and you are turning it on it goes through walk test startup first?

Sounds like you are still set on the walk test - once you’ve done the walk test, the time needs to be set higher than the lowest to take it out of that mode.
May have sorted by now but I had a spare ‘tuppence’ - oooh that sounds rude!
