Description
This is the hand-held programmer for microwave and daylight sensors: a white handset with forty labelled buttons that set how a sensor behaves without anyone touching the fitting. The top row carries ON/OFF, Reset, Auto Mode and Dim Test, with four quick setting presets beneath. The rest of the keypad is grouped by job: detection area at 25, 50, 75 or 100 per cent, hold time from 5 seconds to 30 minutes, standby dim level at 10, 20, 30 or 50 per cent, standby period from 0 seconds to indefinite, and a daylight threshold from 5 lux to 150 lux, or disabled. A two second test key runs a short trigger cycle. The handset is rated IP65.
Commissioning is where it earns its keep. Sensors are often adjusted by dip switch or a small dial on the fitting itself, which means a ladder every time a corridor holds light too long or a stairwell cuts out too early. With the handset you stand underneath, point up and change the setting in a moment. It suits corridors, stairwells, store rooms, car parks and communal landings, and the IP65 rating means it can be used in damp areas, including bathroom zones 1 and 2 but not zone 0. Check your sensor's own instructions first, since it works only with sensors built to accept a handset of this kind.
Two settings are the ones people change most. Hold time is how long the light stays at full output after the last movement. Standby period is what happens next: output drops to the dim level you picked and holds there for a set time or indefinitely, so a stairwell is never pitch dark. The daylight threshold stops the sensor triggering when there is already enough natural light. The remote is sold singly, with a minimum order of one.

Frequently Asked
Which sensors will this remote work with?
It is made for microwave and daylight sensors built to accept a handset of this type. Check your sensor's own instructions before ordering, because not every sensor allows remote programming.
How far away can I stand when I use it?
The manufacturer does not state a working distance. Treat it as a line of sight tool, point the handset squarely at the sensor head from below and press firmly.
What is the difference between hold time and standby period?
Hold time is how long full output lasts after the last movement. Standby period is how long the fitting then sits at the reduced dim level before it switches off.
What does the lux setting change?
It sets the daylight threshold, so the sensor ignores movement when the room is already brighter than the level you chose. Values run from 5 lux to 150 lux, or disabled.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
Yes. The IP65 rating covers zones 1 and 2, though not zone 0, so it can be used in a shower room or a wet plant area.
