Motion light sensor Eltako FBH55-al 30000461 wireless, motion detector for lighting control

Eltako FBH55-al 30000461 is a wireless motion light sensor designed for automatic lighting control in residential and light-commercial environments. The compact detector senses movement and communicates with compatible Eltako wireless actuators to switch lights on and off, supporting retrofit installations and new builds where hands-free, presence-based lighting is required. The device is intended to improve convenience and reduce energy consumption by automating lighting circuits according to occupancy.

Advantages

The sensor offers a compact form factor and wireless operation that eliminates the need for running new control wiring, simplifying installation in corridors, stairwells, entrances and offices. Its motion detection capability reliably triggers lighting when movement is detected and can be combined with Eltako wireless components for centralized or distributed control. The unit is suitable for retrofit scenarios as well as new installations where minimal alteration to existing infrastructure is preferred.

Suitable for

• Automatic corridor and stairwell lighting
• Entrance halls, foyers and vestibules
• Small offices and meeting rooms
• Retrofit installations where adding control wiring is impractical
• Integration with wireless smart-home lighting systems

Key specifications

• Wireless motion detection for lighting control
• Compact housing suitable for wall mounting
• Occupancy sensing range designed for indoor areas such as corridors and small rooms
• Compatibility with Eltako wireless components for actuator control and system integration
• Battery-powered operation or low-power wireless design depending on installation scenario
• Designed for retrofit and new-build applications

How to use

Mount the motion sensor at a recommended height and position where it has an unobstructed view of the covered area. Pair the wireless detector with compatible Eltako wireless actuators or the target lighting control unit according to the manufacturer's pairing procedure. Configure detection sensitivity and time delay (if available) to match the traffic patterns of the space. After commissioning, the sensor will automatically send wireless commands to switch lighting when motion is detected and to switch lights off after the configured absence period.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation position the sensor to minimize false triggers from heating outlets or moving curtains and avoid direct sunlight on the sensor lens. Use the detector in combination with compatible Eltako wireless actuators for best integration into existing Eltako systems. Check local regulations and installation instructions for mounting height and battery replacement intervals when applicable.
