This 180 degree PIR (passive infrared) sensor offers comprehensive motion detection coverage, making it an ideal choice for security lighting, energy-saving automation, and hands-free switching in both residential and commercial settings. With a wide 180-degree detection angle and an impressive 12-metre range, a single sensor can cover large areas such as driveways, gardens, pathways, or interior hallways with ease. Designed for installation heights between 1.8m and 2.5m, this sensor provides optimal detection sensitivity while maintaining a discreet appearance that blends with most building exteriors and interiors.
Built to withstand the elements, this PIR sensor carries an IP44 weatherproof rating, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor environments against moisture and dust ingress. The adjustable time delay function allows users to set the lighting duration from as little as 10 seconds up to a maximum of 15 minutes after motion is detected, providing flexibility for various applications from brief security sweeps to extended illumination for pathways. With a maximum load capacity of 300W for incandescent lighting or 1200W for fluorescent/LED loads, this sensor can handle a wide range of lighting setups, making it a versatile component for upgrading existing lighting systems or incorporating into new installations.
180° Detection Angle: Wide coverage area reduces the number of sensors required for comprehensive monitoring.
12m Detection Range: Long-range sensing suitable for large driveways, gardens, and open spaces.
Adjustable Time Delay: Customisable lighting duration from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
IP44 Weatherproof Rating: Protected against splashing water and dust – suitable for outdoor installation.
Flexible Load Capacity: Handles up to 300W incandescent or 1200W fluorescent/LED loads.
Installation Height Range: Optimised for mounting between 1.8m and 2.5m.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for security lighting, automated exterior lighting, corridors, and energy-saving controls.

1. Can this PIR sensor be used outdoors?
Yes, the IP44 weatherproof rating makes this sensor suitable for outdoor use, providing protection against splashing water and dust ingress.
2. What types of lighting can this sensor control?
The sensor can control incandescent lighting up to 300W and fluorescent or LED lighting up to 1200W, making it compatible with most standard lighting setups.
3. How do I adjust the time delay?
The sensor features a built-in adjustable control that allows you to set the lighting duration from 10 seconds to 15 minutes. The exact adjustment method is detailed in the installation instructions.
4. What is the recommended installation height?
For optimal detection performance, the sensor should be mounted at a height between 1.8 metres and 2.5 metres.
5. Will the sensor detect through walls or glass?
No, PIR sensors detect changes in infrared radiation (heat) and are designed to detect movement within their line of sight. They will not detect through solid walls or glass obstacles.
