Infrared Motion Detector Goobay 95172

The Goobay 95172 Infrared Motion Detector is a reliable solution for automated lighting control in indoor environments. Utilizing advanced passive infrared (PIR) technology, this sensor detects movement within a 360-degree field of view, ensuring comprehensive coverage for your space. Designed for ceiling mounting, it integrates seamlessly into residential or commercial interiors with its compact and unobtrusive white housing.

Advantages

This motion detector offers significant energy efficiency by ensuring lights are only active when movement is detected, which is particularly beneficial for high-traffic areas. The 360-degree detection range provides complete room coverage, eliminating blind spots often found with wall-mounted sensors. Its compatibility with LED lighting makes it a modern choice for energy-conscious users looking to upgrade their home or office automation systems. The device is engineered for straightforward installation and consistent performance in indoor settings.

Suitable for

• Automated lighting in hallways and corridors
• Energy-efficient control in storage rooms or basements
• Enhancing security in office spaces
• Hands-free lighting activation in residential rooms

This device is not suitable for outdoor environments as it carries an IP20 rating, meaning it lacks protection against moisture and harsh weather conditions. It is also not intended for use in high-temperature industrial environments or areas with extreme air drafts that might trigger false detections.

Key specifications

• Sensor type: Passive infrared (PIR)
• Detection angle: 360 degrees
• Detection range: Up to 6 meters
• Input voltage: 230V AC
• Protection rating: IP20
• Mounting type: Ceiling surface mount
• Light sensitivity: 3 lx

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance with electrical standards. The sensor is mounted directly to the ceiling surface. Once installed, the device automatically monitors the area for heat signatures. When movement is detected, the internal relay closes, activating the connected light source. The sensor remains active as long as movement is present and will switch off after a predetermined period of inactivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the installation location is indoors and protected from water
• Verify that your existing light fixtures are compatible with 230V AC switching
• Check that the ceiling height is appropriate for the 6-meter detection range
• Confirm that the area is free from large heat sources that could interfere with the PIR sensor

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, position the sensor away from direct heat sources such as radiators, air conditioning vents, or windows exposed to direct sunlight, as these can cause false triggers. Regularly clean the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth to maintain detection accuracy.
