The GTV SRC812 microwave motion sensor is a high-precision device engineered for automated lighting management in indoor environments. Operating on a standard 220-240V power supply, this sensor detects movement through walls, doors, and thin materials, providing reliable performance with a 360-degree detection field. It is designed to handle a maximum load of 1200W, making it suitable for controlling various lighting fixtures to enhance energy efficiency and convenience.
Advantages
This microwave sensor offers superior sensitivity compared to traditional infrared sensors, as it can detect motion even through non-metallic obstacles. Its 360-degree coverage ensures comprehensive monitoring of the surrounding area, eliminating blind spots in rooms. By automatically switching lights on only when presence is detected, the device significantly reduces electricity consumption and extends the lifespan of connected light sources. The compact design allows for discreet installation in ceilings or walls, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the interior.
Suitable for
- Hallways and corridors
- Office spaces and conference rooms
- Utility rooms and basements
- Stairwells and storage areas
When it may not be suitable
This sensor may not be suitable for areas with high levels of vibration or where thin walls separate frequently used rooms, as it might trigger lights unintentionally due to its high sensitivity. It is also not recommended for outdoor use or in environments with significant metal interference, which can disrupt the microwave signal.
Key specifications
- Detection angle: 360°
- Maximum load capacity: 1200W
- Operating voltage: 220-240V
- Frequency: 50/60Hz
- Technology: Microwave motion detection
How to use
The sensor should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is typically mounted on the ceiling or wall in a location that provides optimal coverage of the intended area. Once installed, the device can be configured to adjust sensitivity and time delay settings based on specific requirements. After the initial setup, the sensor operates autonomously, detecting motion within its range to activate the connected lighting circuit.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the total wattage of your lighting fixtures does not exceed the 1200W limit.
- Verify that the installation location is free from large metal objects that could block the signal.
- Check if the sensitivity range is appropriate for the size of your room to avoid false triggers.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, avoid installing the sensor near air conditioning vents, heating ducts, or large moving objects, as these can cause false activations. Regularly test the sensor to ensure the detection range remains clear of obstructions.
