    Hi Guys,
    I am new to C-BUS and I'm having a few problems with two PIRs. I would like to know the settings for the following:

    Outdoor PIR to switch a relay load on for 10min only at night

    Indoor to switch relay load on for 5 min anytime

    Cheers

    Brad

    If you're programming the units with Toolkit then most of the settings are already set up for you. To program the outdoor PIR you only need to:
    • Program the Group Address for the load you want to control
    • Change the timer value to 10 minutes (default is 5)
    • Adjust the light level adjustment screw on the unit until the unit detects motion at the desired brightness level.
    To program the indoor PIR you do the same thing except that:
    • The PIR timer interval is already 5 minutes by default.
    • a) Either adjust the LL adjustment screw fully one way so that the threshold is set really high;
    • b) Or go to the Functions Tab on the Toolkit UI and make the settings for the LI column match those as set in the DA column. This will make the unit perform the same regardless of the adjustment screw setting.

    The settings you show there should have the PIR turning on and timing out regardless of the abient light level or light adjustment screw position.

    The Walk In Robe group should turn on as soon as the PIR detects movement.
