Pir Occupancy Sensors For Lighting

Leviton offers a wide selection of occupancy sensors and vacancy sensors commonly referred to as motion sensors or motion detectors or motion light sensors for commercial and residential applications.

Pir occupancy sensors for lighting.

The sensors use infrared ultrasonic microwave or other technology the term encompasses devices as different as pir sensors hotel room keycard locks and smart meters occupancy sensors are typically used to save energy. Passive infrared technology sensors passive infrared pir sensors work by detecting the presence of heat energy in confined spaces. These sensors require both the active and passive sensors to trip before turning on the lights. These state of the art devices use passive infrared ultrasonic or a combined multi sensing technology.

Pir sensors detect general movement but do not give information on who or what moved. However only one type is needed to keep the lights on.

From wall and ceiling mount to wall switch and wireless leviton motion sensors enhance. The term passive means that the pir device does not emit an infrared beam but merely passively accepts incoming infrared radiation. An occupancy sensor is an indoor motion detecting device used to detect the presence of a person to automatically control lights or temperature or ventilation systems. There are occupancy sensors that combine both ultrasonic and pir technologies called dual tech sensors.

Though used in a slightly different way for lighting applications it s the same core technology found in thermal imaging devices advanced telescopes night vision equipment and a host of other innovative tools. They are most often used in pir based motion detectors pir sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications. Leviton decora 120 277 volt ac white occupancy pir sensor model r52 ods10 ihw 39 97 39 97. A passive infrared sensor pir sensor is an electronic sensor that measures infrared ir light radiating from objects in its field of view.
