Motion sensor MACLEAN MCE145 — microwave motion detector, MPN MCE145

MACLEAN MCE145 is a microwave motion sensor that detects movement using microwave sensing technology. Designed for indoor use, the device provides presence detection suitable for integration into security and automation systems. The sensor responds to motion reliably and can be used to trigger alarms, control lighting or initiate automated responses where consistent detection of people or objects is required.

Advantages

The microwave detection method offers coverage that is less affected by ambient light and can detect motion through non-metallic objects, providing stable performance in varied indoor environments. Compact design and straightforward electrical connections allow integration into existing control panels and automation systems. The sensor delivers continuous monitoring with adjustable sensitivity and rapid response to movement, which helps ensure timely activation of connected systems.

Suitable for

• Indoor security systems for presence and intrusion detection
• Automated lighting control in corridors, stairwells and offices
• Building automation tasks requiring occupancy-based control
• Triggering alarm panels or notification systems on detected motion

Key specifications

• Detection technology: microwave motion sensing
• Application environment: indoor use
• Detection capability: presence and movement detection
• Integration: designed for connection to security and automation systems
• Response characteristics: rapid detection and activation of connected outputs
• Mechanical form factor: compact sensor body for discrete installation

How to use

Install the sensor in a location with a clear coverage area and minimal obstruction from large metallic objects that could interfere with microwave propagation. Connect the sensor to the control panel or automation interface according to the system wiring requirements, ensuring proper power supply and signal connections. Adjust sensitivity and mounting position as needed to obtain the desired detection range and to reduce false triggers. Test the sensor after installation to confirm correct operation and reliable triggering of the connected system.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid mounting the sensor directly adjacent to large metal surfaces or heavy machinery. Use factory-recommended mounting heights and adjust sensitivity to match the monitored area. Periodically test sensor response as part of routine system maintenance.
