Designed with Electricians in Mind

There’s no need for complex programming or additional external wiring—just simple, DIP switch control to adjust settings like detection range, hold time, and even wattage selection.

This means you can choose the most appropriate power level for the installation, saving energy without sacrificing performance.

The sensor is pre-installed on gear tray, located internally within the light fitting. This reduces the on-site time for electricians drastically.

Corridor Function for Energy Savings and your safety

For areas that don’t need constant lighting, such as stairwells or hallways, the built-in corridor function is a game-changer.

When no movement is detected, the lights dim to 10% or 30%, reducing energy consumption while ensuring safety. As soon as motion is detected, the lights return to full brightness.

It takes the control away from users, no need for a switch which makes it perfect for communal areas. Forgot to turn off lights, not with our MS solution.

The corridor function features lights the room a bit longer for your safety.

Detection Range

The sensor covers a range of up to 14 metres when ceiling-mounted and 10 metres when wall-mounted, giving you flexibility in how and where it’s installed.

Office, warehouse, or corridor, it’s perfect for keeping spaces well-lit only when needed, without any unnecessary energy use.

 
 
 

Daylight Sensor for Added Efficiency

 

The daylight sensor turns off the light fitting when there’s sufficient natural light.

This feature can be adjusted to suit your needs, but there’s one important thing to note: setting the stand-by period to infinite mode will disable the daylight sensor.If the infinite stanby period is required, please call us on 01420 470 400 for more advance control options. 

This is a crucial detail to ensure your system functions as intended and optimises energy savings.
