C&E White IP55 RS403X2 Ficha De Dados

The PIR sensor integrated in the motion switch responds to temperature changes within the detection range, 
e.g. if a person, a large animal or a car enters the detection area.
For this reason, the motion switch can be used for monitoring entrances, driveways, staircases, etc.
The motion switch’ output, for example, can be used for controlling a light or another powered device. Please 
refer to the section “Technical Data”.
The motion switch can be mounted on either a vertical wall, a vertical building corner (with the provided 
corner base) or on the room ceiling.
Any other use than that described above may damage the product. Moreover, this may give rise to hazards 
such as short-circuiting, fi re, electric shock, etc. No part of the product may be modifi ed or converted!
Always observe the safety instructions in these operating instructions. Please read the operating instructions 
carefully and keep them.
This product complies with the applicable National and European requirements. All names of companies and

   This symbol indicates a health hazard, e.g. electric shock.



   The exclamation mark indicates specifi c risks associated with handling, function and use. 

☞

  The “Hand” symbol indicates special tips and operating information.

 

The product is designed for operation outdoors.

  The product complies with the protection class II.





 

•   The unauthorised conversion and/or modifi cation of the product is not allowed for safety and 

approval reasons (CE).

 

•   The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children! There is the risk of a 

fatal electric shock!

 

•   The product may only be operated on the mains voltage (see section „Technical Data“). Never 

try to operate the product at another voltage as this will cause its destruction.

 

•  The product is constructed according to protection class II.

 

•   The product may be mounted in indoor and outdoor areas (protection type IP55). Please refer 

to the section „Mounting“. 

 

•  Only use the product when it is fi rmly mounted/steady.

 

•   Do not use the motion switch in rooms, or in adverse ambient conditions, where combustible 

gases, vapours or dust are or may be present! There is a risk of explosion!





  •   The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibrations or heavy me-

chanical loads.

 

•   Never direct a jet of water (e.g. for cleaning) from a garden hose, high-pressure cleaner, or 

similar onto the motion detector!

 

•   If you have reason to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, disconnect the product 

immediately and secure it against inadvertent operation. Let an expert check the product.

 

  A safe operation can no longer be assumed, if:

 

  - the product shows visible signs of damage,

 

  -  the product does not work at all or well (fl ickering light, leaking smoke or a smell of burning, the 

light fl ickers, audible cracking noises, discolouration to the product or the adjacent surfaces.)

 

  - the device was stored for a longer period of time in unfavourable conditions

 

  - it was exposed to heavy loads during transport

 

•   Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around since it could become a dangerous 

plaything for children.

 

•   In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer’s Liability In-

surance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating Facilities are to be observed!

 

•   If you have any questions that are not answered in this manual, please contact our technical 

service or another specialist.



•   Without fail, pay attention to the correct mounting position for the motion detector; it must only be mounted 

so that the hemispherical PIR sensor points downwards.



   If this mounting position is not observed, water might penetrate the motion detector; danger of a 

fatal electric shock!

•   Only install the motion detector on a stable surface, e.g. brickwork. Depending on the surface, suitable 

screws and plugs should be used.

•   The motion switch must be installed and used out of the reach of children.
•   The power supply line for the motion detector must be protected by a 10/16A fuse on the building-side 

sub-distribution. An earth leakage circuit breaker must be installed before this (FI protective switch).

•  The motion switch must be voltage-free during installation. 
   Turn the power off and remove the electric circuit fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. Secure it against 

unauthorised reconnection, e.g., with a danger sign.

   Furthermore, turn off the earth leakage circuit breaker in order to disconnect all the poles of the mains 

supply.

•  Check that the mains connection is free of current e.g. with an appropriate tester. 

The PIR sensor integrated in the motion switch responds to temperature changes within the detection range, 
e.g. if a person or an animal, with a temperature different from the background, enters the detection area.
To ensure optimum detection, the motion switch must be placed so that the object to be detected does not 
approach the motion switch directly but rather passes through the detection area from left to right or vice 
versa. Keep this in mind, when installing the product.
The triangular detection area can be adjusted by turning the hemispherical PIR sensor (clicking noises can 
be heard during turning due to an integrated catch).
The range for detecting motion is determined by several factors:
•  The motion switch’s installation height
•  The temperature difference between the moving object and the background (ambient)
•  The size of the object
•  Distance of the object from the motion switch
•  Direction and speed of the movement
• Ambient temperature
After switching on the mains voltage, it takes about 60 seconds until the PIR sensor in the motion detector 
has adjusted to the background temperature and is able to recognise changes in temperature within the 
detection area.
The detection range can be restricted by covering the diffusion panel of the motion switch with an opaque 
cover. This can be tailored accordingly:
