Maclean MCE295 Wall-Mounted Motion and Twilight Sensor 180° + 360° 2000W White

The Maclean MCE295 is a high-performance wall-mounted motion and twilight sensor engineered for precise automatic lighting management. By integrating both motion detection and ambient light sensing, this device ensures that connected lighting systems operate only when necessary, effectively reducing energy consumption. Its robust design and dual-range detection capabilities make it a reliable solution for both indoor and outdoor environments where automated illumination is required for safety and convenience.

Advantages

This sensor offers exceptional versatility through its combined 180° and 360° detection fields, allowing for comprehensive coverage of surrounding areas. The high load capacity of up to 2000W enables the control of multiple light sources or high-power fixtures without the need for additional relays. Its integrated twilight sensor provides an extra layer of efficiency by ensuring that lights are only activated during low-light conditions, preventing unnecessary operation during daylight hours.

Suitable for

• Automating lighting in hallways, staircases, and corridors
• Enhancing security lighting around building entrances and driveways
• Managing energy-efficient lighting in garages and basements
• Controlling outdoor lighting in residential or commercial properties

This device may not be suitable for areas with high levels of environmental interference, such as locations with heavy vegetation that moves frequently in the wind or areas with rapid temperature fluctuations, which can trigger false detections. It is also not intended for use in circuits exceeding the specified maximum load capacity.

Key specifications

• Detection angle: 180° and 360°
• Maximum load: 2000W
• Mounting type: Wall-mounted
• Functionality: Motion and twilight sensing
• Color: White

How to use

The sensor should be installed on a wall at the recommended height to ensure optimal detection coverage. Once mounted, the device is wired into the existing lighting circuit. Users can adjust the sensitivity settings for motion detection and the ambient light threshold for the twilight sensor via the integrated controls. Once configured, the sensor will automatically switch the connected lights on when motion is detected within its field of view, provided the ambient light level is below the set threshold.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the total wattage of your lighting fixtures does not exceed 2000W
• Ensure the installation location allows for the required 180° or 360° field of view
• Check if the environmental conditions are suitable for the sensor's operating range

Usage recommendations: For the best performance, avoid installing the sensor directly facing reflective surfaces or heat sources such as air conditioning vents or heaters, as these can interfere with the infrared detection accuracy.
