Presence sensor Steinel PD-8 COM1 with mounting clamps, white

Steinel PD-8 COM1 is a compact white presence sensor supplied with mounting clamps for straightforward installation. Designed for indoor use, this occupancy detector senses motion and presence to enable automatic lighting control and reduce energy consumption in spaces such as offices, corridors, stairwells and utility rooms. The unobtrusive design and supplied mounting clamps make it suitable for discreet integration into ceilings or mounting surfaces where automatic on/off switching based on presence is required.

Advantages

The PD-8 COM1 provides reliable presence detection in a compact housing that blends with standard interior finishes. Supplied mounting clamps simplify installation and help secure the sensor in the chosen position without the need for complex fixtures. Its sensitivity to both movement and presence allows stable lighting control that prevents unnecessary on-time, contributing to energy savings and lower operating costs. The white finish offers neutral appearance that fits most commercial and residential interiors.

Suitable for

• Offices and meeting rooms for automatic lighting control
• Corridors and hallways where intermittent passage requires automatic switching
• Stairwells and landings to ensure lights are active only when needed
• Utility rooms, storage areas and service spaces with occasional occupancy

Key specifications

• Function: presence (occupancy) detection for automatic lighting control
• Installation: surface or ceiling mounting using supplied clamps
• Color: white finish suitable for most interiors
• Detection: motion and presence sensing for stable on/off control
• Application: indoor use in commercial and residential environments

How to use

Install the sensor at the recommended mounting location using the supplied clamps, ensuring the detection field is oriented toward the area to be monitored. Connect the sensor to the lighting circuit following applicable electrical regulations and the manufacturer’s wiring guidance. Adjust any available sensitivity or time-delay settings according to the occupancy patterns of the space to avoid premature switch-off or excessive on-time. After installation, test the detection coverage by walking through the area and making small movements to confirm reliable switching.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, mount the PD-8 COM1 at a height and position that provides clear line of sight to the monitored area and away from heating or ventilation outlets that can cause false triggers. Regularly check mounting clamps and electrical connections as part of routine maintenance to ensure consistent detection and safe operation.
