Minimum Load

Because there is no neutral connection, there is a minimum load

requirement of 40W RESISTIVE for each WAPIR in circuit. If the

load is less than this or is not totally resistive (contactor, CFL,

LED or 2D lamps) then one power factor correction capacitor,

CAPLOAD, needs to be added across the load for each

WAPIR in circuit (diagram C).

The WAPIR contains a 9v, PP3 (150mAhr), re-chargeable nickel metal

hydride battery which trickle charges when the load is switched off.

Do not allow the battery connector terminals to touch any of the

'mains' electrical wires, including earth. The switch must receive a

permanent live supply and should be used in applications where the

load will be on for less than 12 hours per day.

NOTE: If the date stamp is more than 3 months out of date, the product needs to be left

in the 'off' state for not less than 12 hours to charge the battery before normal operation.

Installation procedure

1. P lease read these notes carefully before commencing work.

In case of doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

Make sure the power is isolated from the circuit.

2.The switch should be placed facing the area where activity is expected,

mounted between 1 and 1.8m high (diagram A). If the photocell

override facility is required, the switch must be sited in a position

where the daylight can give greater illumination than the artificial

light. The WAPIR is suitable for wall mounting only.

3. C onnect the WAPIR as:

As shown in the wiring diagrams opposite.

4. A few WAPIR can be wired in parallel to control the same load.

5. T here are three adjustments on the underside edge of the switch:

TIME, LUX and SENS (sensitivity) (diagram B)

6. W hen the wiring has been completed and verified, ensure the button

is pressed in, switch on the supply and test operation.

7. T he lights will switch on for 1 minute before the unit will go into

automatic mode.
