Esylux MD 180 Basic Wired Wall Motion Detector White IP44 230V

The Esylux MD 180 Basic Wired Wall Motion Detector White IP44 230V is a reliable wired wall-mounted motion detector designed for automated lighting control and security applications. Part of the BASIC series, this device provides a straightforward entry route into demand-driven building automation. Featuring a clean white finish, it integrates seamlessly onto house walls, garages, and building facades while ensuring energy-efficient control of outdoor and indoor lighting based on actual presence and movement.

Advantages

This wired motion detector offers a wide 180-degree detection angle paired with a practical detection distance of up to 157 meters, allowing broad coverage for various spaces. Operating on a standard input voltage of 230 V, the unit maintains low power consumption during operation. Its robust construction carries an IP44 international protection rating, which ensures reliable performance for both indoor installation and sheltered outdoor placement.

Suitable for

• Controlling corridor lighting in residential or commercial buildings
• Automating entrance and doorway illumination
• Illuminating house facades and garage exteriors
• Enhancing security around building perimeters

When it may not be suitable

This device may not be suitable for exposed outdoor locations lacking shelter, as the IP44 rating provides protection against splashing water rather than heavy continuous downpours or jet water. Additionally, since it is a wired wall-mounted unit, it might not fit retrofitting projects where running new cables is structurally difficult or where wireless systems are strictly preferred.

Key specifications

• Detection angle: 180 degrees
• Detection distance: Up to 157 meters
• Input voltage: 230 V
• Protection rating: IP44
• Color: White
• Mounting type: Wall-mounted

How to use

The motion detector should be mounted securely on a vertical surface such as a house wall, garage exterior, or corridor wall at the recommended height to ensure optimal coverage. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is required to connect the device to the 230 V mains power supply and integrate it with your existing lighting circuit. Once installed, the unit automatically detects movement within its 180-degree field of view to switch connected lights on and off according to your settings and ambient light conditions.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your electrical infrastructure supports a 230 V wired connection.
• Check the mounting location to ensure it meets the IP44 sheltered outdoor or indoor criteria.
• Assess whether the 180-degree detection angle and range match the layout of your target area.
• Consult a professional electrician for proper installation and wiring requirements.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance, position the motion detector away from direct heat sources, moving tree branches, or reflective surfaces that could trigger false activations. Regularly clean the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth to maintain accurate motion detection over time.
