Infrared PIR Motion Sensor Automatic Light Switch » ENG Stores A PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor light switch automatically turns on a light when it detects motion from a heat-emitting source, like a person or animal.
Specifications
- <p>PIR motion sensor light switch specifications vary, but common features include a detection angle (e.g., 120° or 180°), detection range (e.g., 3-8 meters), load capacity (e.g., 6A or 1200W, with some requiring derating for fluorescent lights), delay time (e.g., adjustable from 1-10 minutes or fixed), and voltage (e.g., 120V AC or 12-24V DC). Many models have adjustable settings for sensitivity and duration, and some require a neutral wire for installation. </p><p>Common specifications</p><p>Sensor Coverage:</p><p>Detection Angle: Varies from 120° to 180° or even 360° for ceiling-mounted versions.</p><p>Detection Range: Typically between 3 and 8 meters (approx. 10 to 26 feet).</p><p>Load Capacity:</p><p>Maximum Load: Can be specified in watts or amps.</p><p>AC models: May handle 600W for incandescent/halogen or 1/6 HP for motors at 120V.</p><p>DC models: Often have a max current of 6A or 8A.</p><p>Load Type: Some switches have specific limits for different load types, such as fluorescent lights, which may require the load to be derated.</p>
