FAQs
What is the optimal mounting height for the Theben theLuxa S150 WH?
The optimal mounting height for this motion switch is 2.5 meters. However, it can be installed between 2 and 4 meters.
Can this motion switch be used with LED lights?
Yes, the theLuxa S150 WH features mixed light measurement and is suitable for controlling LED lamps, as well as fluorescent, incandescent, and halogen lamps.
What is the maximum range of detection?
The maximum frontal range is 12 meters, and the maximum sideways range is 6 meters. The detection angle is 150° horizontally.
Is this motion switch suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it has an IP55 rating, which means it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor placement.
How do I adjust the sensitivity to light?
The response value for luminosity can be adjusted between 5 lx and 1000 lx using the dedicated control on the device. A teach-in function is also available to set the current brightness value.
What is the maximum load this switch can handle?
The maximum switching power is 2300W, with a maximum starting current of 10A.
Does the sensor head move?
Yes, the sensor head can be rotated ±90° horizontally and tilted downwards by 30°, allowing for precise aiming of the detection area.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on when motion is detected.
Check the power supply and wiring connections. Ensure the ambient light setting is low enough for the sensor to trigger. Verify that the switch-off delay has not been set to the minimum time. Test the detection area using the test function.
Light stays on constantly.
Ensure there are no constant sources of heat or movement within the detection range that could be triggering the sensor. Check the switch-off delay setting; it might be set too high. Verify that the sensor is not obstructed.
Sensor is not detecting motion accurately.
Clean the sensor lens. Ensure the device is mounted at the optimal height (around 2.5 meters). Re-adjust the sensor head's horizontal and vertical angles to cover the desired area. Check for any environmental factors (e.g., direct sunlight, heat sources) that might interfere with the PIR sensor.
Device does not power on.
Verify that the AC power source is connected correctly and providing 230V. Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the connected power line. Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
