BEMKO C17-HLA3-MD Microwave Motion and Twilight Sensor for HLA3 Luminaires

The BEMKO C17-HLA3-MD is a specialized microwave motion and twilight sensor engineered for seamless integration with BEMKO HLA3 series luminaires. This device enhances lighting systems by providing automated control based on real-time movement detection and ambient light intensity, effectively reducing energy consumption by ensuring lights are only active when necessary.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this sensor is its high-precision microwave technology, which allows for reliable motion detection even through non-metallic materials. By combining motion sensing with a twilight function, the unit ensures that artificial lighting is only activated when natural light levels fall below a specific threshold. This dual-sensing capability promotes significant energy savings and extends the operational lifespan of the connected light source by preventing unnecessary usage. Its compact design is specifically tailored for the HLA3 series, ensuring a clean, professional installation that maintains the aesthetic integrity of the luminaire.

Suitable for

• Corridors and hallways in office buildings
• Stairwells and residential common areas
• Warehouses and storage rooms
• Underground parking facilities

When it may not be suitable

This sensor may not be suitable for areas with high levels of vibration or where moving objects like fans or large machinery are present, as these can trigger false detections. Additionally, it is intended for indoor use and should not be installed in environments exposed to direct weather conditions or high humidity.

Key specifications

• Technology: Microwave motion detection
• Integrated twilight sensor
• Compatibility: Designed for BEMKO HLA3 series luminaires
• Application: Indoor use

How to use

The sensor is designed to be installed directly into the designated slot of the compatible HLA3 luminaire. Once physically mounted, the device should be configured according to the specific requirements of the space, such as detection range and light sensitivity thresholds. Ensure the power supply is disconnected during the installation process to prevent electrical hazards. After installation, the sensor operates autonomously, detecting movement within its field of view and adjusting the light output based on the ambient light levels.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your existing HLA3 luminaire model
• Assess the detection area to ensure it covers the intended space without interference
• Confirm that the installation environment is free from excessive vibrations

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid placing the sensor near large metal objects or high-frequency interference sources, as these can affect the sensitivity and range of the microwave detection.
