El Home motion sensor PIR MD-08B7 AC 230V for lighting control

The El Home motion sensor PIR MD-08B7 AC 230V for lighting control is a wired passive infrared detector intended for automatic switching of indoor lighting circuits. Designed to operate on standard AC 230V supply, the unit senses infrared radiation from moving people and activates connected lights for a preset interval. The compact sensor is suitable for fixed installation in corridors, stairwells, utility rooms and commercial interiors where automated, hands-free light control improves convenience and energy use.

Advantages

This wired PIR motion sensor provides reliable motion detection using passive infrared technology with a simple electrical interface for AC 230V lighting circuits. Its design supports continuous mains operation without batteries and enables automatic on/off switching to reduce unnecessary energy consumption. The sensor’s compact form factor allows installation in confined indoor spaces and integrates with conventional lighting fixtures and wiring practices.

Suitable for

• Corridors and hallways in residential and commercial buildings
• Stairwells and landings where automatic lighting enhances safety
• Utility rooms, storage areas and basements
• Commercial spaces such as offices, retail aisles and service areas

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: AC 230V mains
• Detection technology: passive infrared (PIR)
• Mounting: wired fixed installation for indoor use
• Typical detection use: human motion within line of sight and coverage angle of PIR sensor
• Function: automatic switching of lighting circuits with configurable time-out (factory or installer set)

How to use

Install the wired PIR sensor according to local electrical regulations, ensuring the device is connected to the AC 230V supply and the lighting circuit by a qualified person or electrician. Position the sensor to cover the intended detection zone, avoiding direct exposure to heat sources or reflective surfaces that could affect infrared sensing. After wiring and mounting, adjust the time-out and sensitivity settings if available to match traffic patterns and lighting requirements. Once configured, the sensor will switch the connected lights on when motion is detected and off after the set interval of inactivity.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, mount the sensor at a recommended height and angle to optimise coverage of walkways and entrances. Avoid aiming the sensor at windows or heating vents. Regularly check connections and, if the unit includes adjustable settings, fine-tune detection range and timeout to balance energy savings and user convenience.
