Indoor Motion Sensors (IP20) for Control

Indoor Motion Sensors (IP20) accurately detect movement and ensure complete lighting automation in dry household and office environments.

In office buildings and large residential spaces, energy efficiency directly depends on lighting usage time. Indoor motion sensors from VIDEX are designed for dry environments (IP20 protection) and provide fast power grid commutation. Models with a 360° sensing angle, intended for ceiling mounting, can cover a room radius of up to 20 meters, making them ideal for long corridors and halls. The infrared (PIR) sensor head detects human thermal dynamics and immediately activates the relay. The sensor allows the integration of time delay adjustments and a LUX (twilight) threshold, ensuring that the light turns on only in the case of insufficient natural lighting. The polycarbonate used in the housing is fire-resistant and aesthetically unobtrusive, harmoniously blending into any ceiling finish. The technological solution is capable of stably operating high-power systems without overheating.

Basic engineering parameters of indoor (IP20) sensors:

360° degree detection: The spherical sensing lens ensures that movement is captured from any corner of the room, eliminating blind spots in large halls.
Photocell sensitivity: The Lux (Lx) threshold switch saves energy during the day by keeping the contacts open as long as natural light is sufficient.
Safe IP20 installation: The compact polycarbonate housing ensures secure integration into the ceiling and fixation without the risk of contact with power cables.

By installing indoor motion sensors, the room's power supply achieves the highest level of automation, extending system resources and preventing waste. When equipping technical or commercial premises frequently visited by personnel or vehicles, these sensors will work perfectly with powerful Garage and Car Wash Lighting.

Q: In which indoor areas are PIR motion sensors technically more suitable than microwave models?

A: Passive infrared (PIR) sensors do not react through walls or doors, making them a justified choice for isolated rooms such as toilets or office cabins. This strictly prevents false alarms when people move through corridors behind closed doors.

Q: How are integrated (recessed) PIR sensors installed in modular or drywall ceilings?

A: These sensors utilize spring clips, allowing the lens to be built into the ceiling plane exactly like standard GU10 spotlights. The massive switching block is hidden above the drywall, ensuring clean interior architecture and a symmetrical 360-degree detection cone.

Q: What time-delay duration is technologically optimal for office corridors and sanitary facilities?

A: In transit zones, the recommended time is from 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning off the light immediately after leaving the room. In enclosed spaces with low motion intensity, the timer should be set to 5 to 10 minutes to prevent sudden light deactivation during room usage.

Q: How do VIDEX indoor sensors ensure lightning speed and protect the relay mechanism?

A: The integrated electromagnetic micro-relays in units react in less than 0.1 seconds from the moment infrared photons are registered. This rapid switching guarantees that a person does not have to step into the dark, while simultaneously dampening loud clicks in quiet office spaces.

Q: What is the significance of the IP20 protection class when choosing an indoor sensor?

A: The IP20 standard physically certifies that the sensor housing protects against the ingress of solid particles (over 12.5 mm), but it possesses absolutely no waterproofing. These models must only be operated in dry rooms with normal ambient humidity, excluding installation above shower cabins.
