HL-E1-M is a paste-on motion sensing head. It uses 5.8 GHz microwave motion. It sees through wood, plastic, glass and acrylic. It does not see through metal or concrete. It is not a mains switch, and it does not run an LED strip by itself. It is not a self-contained strip sensor. It needs a controller socket.
One HL-E1-L takes one of these heads, for one single-colour strip. For a route with a sensor at several points, use one HL-E1-L at each point. The same head also plugs into a sensor socket on HL-ES-V, and into a sensor input on HL-ES32-V. On the stair controller, one head can sit at the top and one at the bottom.
What it sees. About 0.5 to 5 m, over about 120 degrees. The factory default is 30 seconds and 3 m. The setting is kept after a power cut. The indicator is brighter while the light is on.
Delay, short press. Each short press steps the time, and the indicator blinks the step: 10 seconds (1 blink), 30 seconds (2), 60 seconds (3), 180 seconds (4), 300 seconds (5).
Distance, long press. Hold 5 seconds for 5 m (1 blink). Hold 10 seconds for 3 m (2). Hold 15 seconds for 1 m (3). Hold 20 seconds for 0.5 m (4).
Which time to use. One head on one HL-E1-L, for a room or a cabinet approach: 30 or 60 seconds. Several heads along a route: 10 seconds on each head, and one HL-E1-L per head. On HL-ES-V, the time after the space clears is the controller run-on plus the time set on the head. Set the head to 10 seconds when that controller already adds 30, 60 or 180 seconds. On HL-ES32-V, set each head to 10 seconds and set the longer time on the stair controller.
Where to fit it. Paste the head so the face, with the person mark, looks into the space. It can sit on the room side. It can also sit on the back of a wood, plastic, glass or acrylic panel, if the face still looks into the room. On a wall, fit the face towards the room, about 1.2 to 1.8 m above the floor. On a ceiling, fit the face downwards. This fitting is written for a ceiling of about 3 m. Keep large metal and pipes away. A dense wall can block the field or cause a false trigger.
Connection. 5 V DC, from the controller socket only. + / S / -. High is on. Low is off. The lead is about 1 m. The body is about 52 mm across and 7 mm thick. Keep the lead away from mains cable. Warranty 5 years.
