Reliable perimeter detection – thanks to 12m range and 180° coverage

Passive infrared sensing detects movement across a 180° field with a maximum reach of 12 metres on open areas, registering changes in infrared radiation. Detection geometry is fixed by sensor placement and the field of view.

Early activation of exterior lights helps illuminate approach routes and discourages intruders, making entrances and paths noticeably safer.

Flexible aiming for neat installs – with a swivelling sensor head

Swivelling head allows 100° horizontal and 40° vertical adjustment, while the compact housing measures 79 x 55.5 x 67.5 mm and uses a three-wire connection for wall mounting.

Precise alignment targets coverage where needed and enables discreet positioning under eaves or beside doors.

Controlled lighting and broad lamp support – with adjustable twilight and high load ratings

Ambient brightness threshold is adjustable between 3 and 2,000 LUX and the timing cycle ranges from 10 seconds to 15 minutes; rated for up to 800W incandescent and 400W LED or energy-saving lamps.

Avoids unnecessary switching during daylight, allows customised runtime after activation, and handles common household fittings without extra relays.
