INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GB
Congratulations on your purchase of this high-quality ESYLUX product. To ensure proper operation,
please read these user instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
1 • SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: work on the 230 V power system must be carried out by authorised personnel only
with due regard to the applicable installation regulations. Switch off the power supply before
installing the system.
On the input side, the device is to be protected against short circuits with a 10-A circuit breaker.
μ
= Contact gap < 1.2 mm
Use this product only as intended (as described in the user instructions). Changes or
modifications to the product or painting it will result in loss of warranty. You should
check the device for damage immediately after unpacking it. If there is any damage, you
should not install the device under any circumstances.
If you suspect that safe operation of the device cannot be guaranteed, you should turn
the device off immediately and make sure that it cannot be operated unintentionally.
2 • DESCRIPTION
ESYLUX RCi series motion detectors have a 130°/230°/280° field of detection and
360° anti-creep protection. ESYLUX motion detectors are passive infrared detectors which
react to moving heat sources (e.g. people or vehicles) (Fig. 1 (1) 360° anti-creep protection
(2) head-on to detector (3) diagonally to detector). If the motion detector senses a change in
thermal radiation inside its field of detection, depending on the set light value, it will
activate the connected system (e.g. lighting) for a preset length of time. The ESYLUX
RCi motion detector series can be mounted onto a wall or ceiling without the need for
further accessories. The device can be mounted on inner and outer corner walls using
accessories. The ESYLUX RCi motion detector features factory settings and the detector
operates according to preset values (10 lux, 2 min, max. electronic range). The values
can be individually modified. The device can be preset using either the adjusting
controllers on the device or, more conveniently, using the ESYLUX Mobil-RCi and Mobil-
RCi-M remote controls (available as an option).
NB: To activate the detector's complete range of functions, the Mobil-RCi remote
control is required.
3 • INSTALLATION/ASSEMBLY/CONNECTION
Before installing the device, observe the following:
• Turn off the power supply.
• Information concerning range is based on an installation height of 2.50 m. (The field
of detection will vary according to the height)
• For optimum performance (i.e. maximum range), position the device so that people
vehicles are moving parallel to the detector (Fig. 1).
• Make sure that the detector has a clear line of sight, as infrared beams cannot
penetrate solid objects.
• To avoid influencing the light sensor, maintain a minimum distance of 1 m in relation
to the connected lighting and do not point light sources directly at the detector.
• When installing the device, bear in mind the surrounding area e.g. neighbouring
properties or the distance to the road.
• The motion detector should only be installed on a stable, flat surface (wall/ceiling).
The wall base unit and sensor are connected. For installation purposes, separate the
two parts. Fit the screwdriver into the side opening and lever in the direction of the
sensor, pulling the detector away from the wall base (Fig. 2.1). If mounting on a wall, the
cable inlets must face downwards. If mounting on a ceiling, the cable inlets must face
forwards. Feed the cable into the detector and mount the wall base unit in the required
position (Fig. 3). Connect the motion detector according to the circuit diagram (Fig. 4).
CAUTION: The maximum in-rush current must not be exceeded when connecting to capacitive
loads such as electronic ballasts or fluorescent lamps with parallel compensation.
(4.1) Standard operation (RC 130i – RC 280i).
(4.2) Parallel connection of max. 8 devices.
(4.3) When connecting inductors (e.g. relays, contactors, ballasts) the use of a filter (A)
may be necessary.
(4.4) Standard operation with additional permanent lighting function through external switch.
(4.5) Parallel connection and automatic stairwell light.
(4.6) Standard operation with the additional possibility of switching on by hand. If fitting
to a ceiling, the two sensor parts are turned away from each other by 180° (Fig. 5).
Press the sensor into the wall base until it clicks into place (Fig. 2.2).
(4.7) Standard operation (RC 230i UC).
NB: The motion detector's sensor must be facing downwards.
4 • START-UP AND SETTING
After the device has been successfully installed and the power supply switched on, the device
will perform a self-test (lasting about 60 seconds), the red focus LED and the blue mode LED
will flash alternately. During the self-test, certain functions can be enabled by the optional
remote control Mobil-RCi. The connected system is activated. After the automatic test has
been performed, the device will be operational. The setting elements are concealed in the
housing. By pressing up and letting go of the lens, the sensor head is unlocked and protrudes
from the housing by approx. 1 cm. Repeat this procedure to allow the sensor to return to its
original, locked position (Fig. 6, works like a retractable ballpoint pen). A range of further
setting options/special functions are available with the optional Mobil-RCi remote control.
Test mode
Turn the operation selector switch (Fig. 7.1) to "Test".
During the test mode, the focus LED remains permanently on.
