AU-X8

Smart, Energy Saving Detection for your spaces

AU-X8

The AutronX AU-X8 is a compact and efficient ceiling-mounted PIR motion sensor designed for indoor automation. Leveraging passive infrared technology, it detects body heat and triggers connected lighting based on motion and ambient light conditions.

Featuring a 360° detection range and adjustable detection distance up to 8 metres, the AU-X8 enables energy-saving automation in environments such as washrooms, lobbies, dressing areas, and hotels. Its low power consumption and flexible delay/lux settings make it ideal for cost-effective installations.

Smart Day/Night Sensing

Covers up to 8m radius using reliable heat-based motion sensing.

Customisable Hold Time

Automatically adjusts response to ambient light levels from <3 to 2000 LUX.

Wide Detection Coverage

4-wire design with adjustable delay up to 7 minutes and compact ceiling fit.

Key Functional Modes

Daylight Sensitivity Adjustment

Controls lighting based on LUX setting

  • Works in full light or darkness
  • Adjustable from <3 LUX to 2000 LUX
  • Helps conserve energy
Auto Time Delay Reset

Manages duration of lighting after detection

  • Delay adjustable from 10 seconds to 7 minutes
  • Restart timer if motion recurs during delay
  • Suitable for low-traffic areas
LUX Sensitivity Test

Sensor initialises before operation

  • 30-second warm-up on first power-up
  • Ensures stability before active use
  • Standard safety boot process

Installation Guide

  • Power Down: Turn off the power before beginning installation.
  • Mount Base: Unscrew and separate the sensor’s upper cover and base.
  • Wire Connection: Connect live, neutral, and load wires as per wiring diagram.
  • Avoid Interference: Do not mount near heat vents, mirrors, or moving objects like curtains.
  • Secure & Test: Fix the unit to the ceiling, replace the upper cover, and test by adjusting LUX and TIME knobs.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

1
Sensor does not activate the light.
Ensure power is on and LUX is set to “SUN” during testing. Check load connection.
2
Light remains always on.
Continuous motion or wrong placement could be triggering the sensor—recheck zone settings.
3
Sensor doesn’t detect motion properly.
Ensure installation height is within 2.2–4m and the field of view is unobstructed.
4
Delay time too short.
Rotate the TIME knob clockwise to increase delay.
5
Does the sensor work in daylight?
Yes, when LUX is set to the maximum (SUN) position.
