El Home PIR Motion Sensor MD-15B7 AC 230V for Lighting Control

The El Home PIR Motion Sensor MD-15B7 AC 230V for Lighting Control is a passive infrared detector intended for automatic switching of lighting circuits in indoor environments. Designed to operate on standard AC 230V mains, this motion sensor detects infrared radiation from moving persons and triggers connected lighting loads to turn on or off according to occupancy. Its compact design and basic functionality make it suitable for mounting in corridors, stairwells, utility rooms and similar spaces where hands-free lighting control and energy savings are required.

Advantages

This PIR motion sensor offers reliable presence detection based on passive infrared sensing, providing automatic activation of lighting without manual intervention. Its operation on AC 230V eliminates the need for additional power converters, simplifying installation in typical residential and commercial electrical circuits. The sensor helps reduce energy consumption by switching lights only when motion is detected and can improve convenience and safety in frequently used shared spaces.

Suitable for

• Corridors and hallways
• Stairwells and landings
• Utility rooms and storage areas
• Garages and workshops (indoor use)
• Toilets and washrooms with low to moderate traffic

Key specifications

• Detection principle: Passive infrared (PIR)
• Supply voltage: AC 230V mains
• Application: Indoor lighting control
• Output: Switching of lighting circuits (on/off)
• Typical mounting: Wall or ceiling in indoor spaces

How to use

Install the motion sensor in accordance with local electrical regulations and the device mounting instructions, connecting it to the AC 230V supply and the lighting circuit to be controlled. Position the sensor to face the area to be monitored at a height and angle that avoids obstructions and minimizes false triggers from heat sources. After wiring and mounting, adjust any available time-delay or sensitivity settings (if present) to match the expected occupancy patterns. Test operation by walking through the detection zone to confirm reliable switching of the connected lights.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, mount the sensor away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and moving heat sources such as radiators or machinery. Use the sensor in indoor environments within the recommended mounting height and viewing angle for optimal detection. When integrating with LED or electronic ballast lighting, verify compatibility to ensure correct switching behavior and avoid flicker.
