Product Guide
The MPAD-C-230V microwave presence detector provides
automatic control of lighting loads with optional manual
control.
The MPAD-C-230V detects movement using a highly
sensitive microwave detector. This works by emitting low
power microwave signals and measuring the reflections as
the signals bounce off moving objects.
The output channel comprises a mains voltage relay
capable of simple on/off switching.
Functioning as a presence detector, the unit can turn lights
on when a room is occupied and off when the room is
empty. Optional settings allow lights to be turned off in
response to ambient daylight.
All functionality is fully programmable using an IR handset.
Microwave Sensor
Detects movement within the unit's detection range,
allowing load control in response to changes in occupancy.
IR Receiver
Receives control and programming commands from an
IR (infrared) handset.
