FAQs

Can I use this controller with LED lights?

Yes, the STLB1000 is compatible with LED lighting up to a maximum load of 200W.

What is the maximum detection range?

The detection range is between 8 and 12 meters when mounted at the recommended height of 2.5 meters.

Is the unit suitable for coastal environments?

The IP55 rating provides high resistance to dust and water, making it durable for most outdoor environments, though regular cleaning is recommended in harsh, salty air.

Does it include a manual override?

Yes, it features a built-in manual override function for constant light operation.

What happens if the power goes out?

The device will reset to its default operational mode once power is restored.

Can I adjust the sensitivity to ignore small animals?

While there isn't a specific 'pet-immune' setting, adjusting the tilt angle of the sensor is the best way to focus detection away from ground-level animal movement.

Troubleshooting

Lights will not switch on when motion is detected

Check that the LUX level is not set too low for current lighting conditions and ensure the wiring to the lamp is secure.

Lights stay on continuously

Verify that the manual override function has not been accidentally activated and ensure no heat sources are triggering the sensor.

Intermittent triggering

Adjust the pan/tilt angle to ensure the sensor is not picking up movement from trees, bushes, or passing traffic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical regulations.

  1. Placement: Ensure the unit is mounted at a height of approximately 2.5 meters for optimal detection results.
  2. Wiring: Use the large provided terminals to connect your power supply and lighting circuits.
  3. Configuration: Once mounted, use the accessible external dials to set your desired time duration and LUX sensitivity levels.
  4. Maintenance: While the unit is IP55 rated, periodically check that the lens remains free of dirt, cobwebs, or debris, which can interfere with the PIR sensor sensitivity.
  5. Compatibility: The controller is designed for standard AC mains power and is compatible with LED, halogen, and fluorescent lighting, provided the total load does not exceed the specified maximum wattage.
