The WAPIR requires a permanent live supply and should only be used in applications where the load WILL BE ON for LESS than 16 hours per day. This is to allow its rechargeable battery enough time to recharge itself from the mains supply. The WAPIR is supplied with a load capacitor to augment small loads.

OVERRIDE BUTTON: WAPIR has a push button on the front plate to select between ‘override off’ or ‘automatic mode’. A short press activates the override OFF mode (if the PIR is already in automatic mode). A slowly pulsing LED behind the button indicates when the control is in override OFF mode. The LED can be deactivated by pressing and holding the button for approximately 10 seconds. To reactivate the LED a 10 seconds press and hold is required.

For wall mounting only.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because WAPIR requires a permanent live supply there are restrictions on its usage:

• WAPIR should only be used in applications where the lights would not be ON for more time than they are OFF. This is to allow its rechargeable battery enough time to recharge itself from the mains supply.
• Wiring WAPIR’s in parallel will increase the ON status of a load and therefore the battery may not have sufficient time to recharge.
• The load MUST be able to pass parasitic current. The battery may not charge with some low energy / high efficiency luminaire products that do not pass sufficient parasitic current.
• If power factor correction capacitors are inbuilt to the luminaire, it is not advised to add additional CAPLOADs to the switching circuit.

Applications

The WAPIR is suitable for small offices, meeting rooms, tutoring rooms, etc.
