Presence sensor Steinel PD-8 COM1 AP white

The Steinel PD-8 COM1 AP white is a ceiling-mounted presence sensor designed to detect motion and presence for automatic lighting control. Intended for integration with building control systems via a COM1 interface, this compact white sensor provides reliable detection in interior spaces. The unit is suitable for offices, corridors and utility rooms where automated presence detection contributes to energy savings and convenient, hands-free lighting operation.

Advantages

The Steinel PD-8 COM1 AP white combines presence and motion detection with a low-profile ceiling design that preserves interior aesthetics. Integration through the COM1 interface allows straightforward connection to central control systems and enables configurable behavior to match installation requirements. The sensor’s detection logic reduces unnecessary lighting runtime, supporting energy efficiency without manual intervention.

Suitable for

• Office rooms and open-plan workspaces
• Corridors and stairwells in commercial buildings
• Utility rooms, storage areas and maintenance spaces
• Areas requiring integration with building management systems

Key specifications

• Mounting: ceiling-mounted design in white finish
• Detection: presence and motion detection suitable for interior environments
• Interface: COM1 communication for integration with building control systems
• Coverage: sensor field optimized for typical office and corridor mounting heights
• Installation: compact housing intended for surface-mounted ceiling installation

How to use

Install the Steinel PD-8 COM1 AP white on a ceiling at the recommended height to achieve the specified detection coverage. Connect the sensor to the building control system using the COM1 interface following the system wiring and safety guidelines. Configure detection parameters and time delays via the control system or sensor settings to match occupancy patterns and lighting requirements. After commissioning, the sensor will automatically switch lights based on detected presence and configured settings.

Usage recommendations

Position the sensor to avoid direct exposure to heat sources, air-conditioning outlets or reflective surfaces that could affect detection accuracy. For best energy performance, set time delays and sensitivity to match typical room usage and combine the sensor with dimmable or presence-capable lighting controls where supported by the building management system.
