General safety notification
Disconnect the power supply before performing any work on the unit.
- During installation, the electric power cable to be connected must not be live. Therefore, switch off the power first and use a voltage tester to make sure the wiring is off-circuit.
- Installing the sensor-switched light involves work on the mains supply voltage. This work must therefore be carried out professionally in accordance with national wiring regulations and electrical operating conditions. (e.g.: DE: VDE 0100, AT: ÖVE / ÖNORM E8001-1, CH: SEV 1000)
- Only use genuine replacement parts.
- Repairs may only be made by specialist workshops.
RS 16 LED
Proper use
- Sensor-switched wall/ceiling light with active motion detector Limited suitability for outdoor use as a result of detection sensitivity
The integrated HF sensor emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves (5.8 GHz) and receives their echo. The change in echo caused by the slightest movement within the detection zone of the light is detected by the sensor. A microprocessor then issues the switch command “switch light ON”. Detection is possible through doors, panes of glass or thin walls.
Note:
The high-frequency power of the HF sensor is approximately 1 mW – 1000 times less than the transmission power of a mobile phone or microwave oven.

Wiring diagram (Fig. 4.1)
The mains power supply lead is a 3-core cable:
L = phase conductor (usually black, brown or grey)
N = neutral conductor (usually blue)
PE = protective-earth conductor (green/yellow)
L’ = switched phase conductor (usually black, brown or grey
If you are in any doubt, identify the conductors using a voltage tester; then disconnect from the power supply again. Connect phase , as well as the neutral conductor to the terminal.
Important:
Incorrectly wired connections will produce a short circuit later on in the product or your fuse box. In this case, you must identify the individual conductors once again and reconnect them. A mains power switch for turning the unit ON and OFF may of course be installed in the mains supply lead.
The light source of this luminaire cannot be replaced. If the light source needs to be replaced (e.g. at the end of its service life), the complete luminaire must be replaced.
Connection to a dimmer will damage the sensor-switched light
Note:
Do not make direct contact with the LED.
Mounting
- Check all components for damage.
- Do not use the product if it is damaged.
- When installing the sensor-switched light, make sure the installation site is not subject to vibration.
- Select an appropriate mounting location, taking the reach and motion detection nto consideration.
Not suitable for ceiling mounting with surface-mounted power supply lead (Fig. 5.1)
Mounting procedure
- Detach shade from enclosure (Fig. 5.2)

- Mark drill holes (Fig. 5.3)

- Drill holes and insert wall plugs (Fig. 5.4)

- Pierce sealing plug for power supply lead (Fig. 5.5)

- Concealed wiring (Fig. 5.6)

- With spacers for surface mounting (Fig. 5.7)

- Connect conductors (Fig. 5.8)

- Switch ON power supply (Fig. 5.9)

- Make settings ➜ “6. Function”
- Fit shade (Fig 5.9)
Function
- Factory settings:
- Twilight level: 2000 Lux
- Time setting: 5 s
- Reach setting: 8 m
The sensor-switched light can be put into service after mounting the enclosure and connecting to the mains power supply. When putting the light into operation manually at the light switch, it will switch OFF after 10 s for the calibration phase and is then activated for sensor mode. It is not necessary to operate the light switch a second time.
Control dial (Fig. 6.1)
Time setting (stay-ON time) (Fig 6.2/E)
The light’s ON time can be set to any period from approx. 5 s to a maximum of 15 Min. Any movement detected before this time elapses will restart the timer.
Note:
Whenever the light switches OFF, motion detection is interrupted for approx. 1 S. The light will only switch ON in response to movement once this period has elapsed. The shortest time setting is recommended when adjusting the detection zone and performing the functional test.
Reach setting (sensitivity) (Fig 6.2/F)
Reach is the term used to describe the diameter of the more or less circular detection zone produced on the ground after mounting the sensor-switched light at a height of 2.5 m.
- Control dial set to maximum = max. reach 8 m
- Control dial set to minimum = min. reach 3 m
Twilight setting (response threshold) (Fig 6.2/G)
The light’s chosen response threshold can be infinitely varied from approximately 2 to 2000 lux.
- Control dial set to
= daylight operation (depending on ambient light level) - Control dial set to
= twilight mode (approx. 2 lux)
The control dial must be turned to
when adjusting the detection zone and performing the functional test in daylight.
Manual override function
If an optional mains switch is installed in the mains supply lead, the following functions are available in addition to simply switching light ON and OFF:
Manual override (Fig. 6.3)
- Activate manual override:
Switch OFF and ON twice. The light is set to manual override for 4 hours. Then it returns automatically to sensor mode. - Deactivate manual override:
Switch OFF and ON once. Light goes out or switches to sensor operation.
Important:
Switching must take place within 0.2 to 1 second.
Disposal
Electrical and electronic equipment, accessories and packaging must be recycled in an environmentally compatible manner.

Do not dispose of electrical and electronic equipment as domestic waste.
EU countries only:
Under the current European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation in national law, electrical and electronic equipment no longer suitable for use must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally compatible manner.
Important note: the control gear cannot be replaced.
