Kanlux ZONA JQ-37-B/B PIR Motion Sensor, 1200VA, 360/120 Degree Detection, Surface Mounted, Black

The Kanlux ZONA JQ-37-B/B is a high-quality surface-mounted PIR motion sensor engineered for efficient automatic lighting control in indoor environments. This device detects movement within a 360-degree horizontal and 120-degree vertical range, ensuring comprehensive coverage for various spaces. With a maximum detection distance of 8.5 meters and a robust load capacity of up to 1200VA, it provides a reliable solution for managing lighting systems in residential and commercial settings.

Advantages

This motion sensor offers significant energy savings by ensuring that lights are only active when movement is detected, effectively reducing unnecessary power consumption. Its surface-mounted design allows for straightforward installation on ceilings or walls without the need for complex modifications. The sleek black finish integrates seamlessly into modern interiors, while the precise PIR technology ensures consistent performance and reliable activation whenever someone enters the detection zone.

Suitable for

• Hallways and corridors
• Staircases
• Utility rooms and basements
• Storage areas
• Small office spaces

When it may not be suitable

This sensor is rated IP20, meaning it is not protected against moisture or water ingress. Therefore, it is not suitable for outdoor use, bathrooms, or high-humidity environments where it could be exposed to steam or water splashes.

Key specifications

• Detection angle: 360/120 degrees
• Maximum detection range: 8.5 meters
• Maximum load: 1200VA
• Mounting type: Surface mounted
• Ingress protection: IP20
• Color: Black

How to use

The sensor should be installed on a ceiling or wall in a location where the PIR sensor has a clear line of sight to the area where movement is expected. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process. Once mounted, connect the wiring according to the provided technical diagram. After installation, you can typically adjust the sensitivity and time delay settings located on the device to suit your specific lighting requirements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the total wattage of your lighting fixtures does not exceed the 1200VA limit.
• Ensure the installation location is indoors and away from direct heat sources or air conditioning vents to prevent false triggers.
• Check the mounting surface to ensure it can support the weight of the sensor.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid placing the sensor directly above heat sources such as radiators or in areas with high air turbulence, as these factors can interfere with the PIR detection mechanism.
