Its electronic detection mechanism provides high sensitivity and reliable performance, ensuring that lighting is triggered promptly whenever someone enters the room.

Suitable for

• Automated lighting in hallways and corridors
• Energy-efficient lighting control in utility rooms
• Security-focused lighting activation in entryways
• Hands-free lighting operation in residential and commercial interiors

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for outdoor use or in environments with high humidity, as it lacks the necessary ingress protection rating for such conditions. It may also be unsuitable for areas with high levels of thermal interference or rapid temperature changes, which can occasionally cause false triggers in standard electronic motion sensors.

Key specifications

• Electronic motion detection technology
• Designed for integration with Karlik DECO series frames
• Suitable for standard indoor electrical installations
• Automated circuit triggering based on movement

How to use

The Karlik DCR-1 is designed for professional installation within a standard wall box. Before beginning, ensure the power supply is disconnected at the main circuit breaker. The device requires connection to the electrical wiring according to the provided technical diagram. Once installed, the sensor will automatically monitor its field of view and trigger the connected load upon detecting movement. Please note that DECO mechanisms and frames are sold separately and must be purchased to complete the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure compatibility with your existing Karlik DECO frames
• Verify that the installation location is free from direct heat sources
• Confirm that the electrical load is within the device's rated capacity
• Note that frames and additional mounting accessories are sold separately

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance, position the sensor in a location where it has a clear view of the area to be monitored, avoiding direct sunlight or proximity to heating vents to prevent false activations.
