2. Operation with power pack  

  PP-A-J and PP-1-J

The FLAT with B.E.G. PP-A power pack detects both 

motion and the ambient light level in the room 

and then automates the lights according to the 

parameters set by the installer and/or building 

management. The integrated light sensor constantly 

measures the ambient light and if the light level is 

sufficient, the light will be switched off. If the ambient 

light level is below the preset brightness level the 

lights will be allowed to come on when the sensor 

detects movement in the room.

When motion is detected in the room, the PP-A‘s 

auxillary dry contact relay will send a signal to HVAC 

or other systems indicating that the room is occupied. 

With the integration of simple off the shelf, normally- 

open momentary switches, the FLAT-PP-A can be set to 

operate in vacancy mode via the auto/manual switch 

selector on the power pack. The switches can be used 

to turn off the lighting before the preset time out period.

3. Safety information

!

 Work should be carried out by qualified pro-

fessionals or by instructed persons under the 

direction and supervision of qualified skilled 

electrical personnel in accordance with electri-

cal regulations.

!

   The device is not to be used to isolate other 

equipment from the mains supply!

4.   Mounting

Select sensor(s) mounting location based on room 

dimensions and sensor coverage pattern. Avoid 

placing sensor(s) less than four feet away from a 

heat and/or ventilation 

sources. Avoid placing 

sensor(s) where view 

will be directed outside 

of intended controlled 

space, this to prevent 

outside sources from 

activating sensor(s). A 

circular opening of di-

ameter 1.73 in/44 mm 

must be produced in 

the ceiling. 

Connect the sensor to 

the power pack using the RJ12 connector. Pass sen-

sor’s RJ12 connector through ceiling opening. Next, 

squeeze spring clips through ceiling opening. Sensor 

should clip securely into place. (See figure)

For mounting into luminaires use the supplied clamp 

ring and remove the spring clips.

!

When using primary and secondary devices, 

please mount the primary device at the place 

with the least amount of natural light.

6. Self test cycle/Startup behavior

When power is first applied, the sensor enters an 

initial 60 second self-test cycle. During this time the 

device does not respond to movement and stays on.
