ZAMEL microwave motion sensor MCR-01 220–240V AC 1200W 360° (EXT10000049)

The ZAMEL microwave motion sensor MCR-01 is a 220–240V AC presence detector designed for automatic lighting control in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. The sensor provides 360° detection coverage and is rated for loads up to 1200W, using microwave sensing to reliably detect movement, including through thin non-metallic barriers. It is suitable for applications where continuous manual switching is impractical and where sensitive, adjustable detection of people or moving objects is required.

Advantages

The sensor uses microwave technology, which offers stable detection sensitivity and the ability to sense through glass or thin plastics where infrared detectors may fail. With a wide 360° coverage angle and compatibility with standard 220–240V AC installations, the device supports loads up to 1200W, making it suitable for many lighting circuits. The compact design enables installation in corridors, stairwells, garages and utility rooms, and the microwave principle reduces false negatives in low-light or obscured conditions.

Suitable for

• Automatic corridor and stairway lighting
• Garages and carports with sheltered mounting
• Utility rooms, storage areas and basements
• Entrance zones and shared building spaces

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 220–240V AC
• Maximum switching load: 1200W
• Detection type: microwave motion sensing
• Coverage: 360° detection pattern
• Installation environment: indoor or sheltered outdoor locations

How to use

Install the sensor in accordance with local electrical regulations and wiring practices, mounting it where the 360° detection field covers the intended area. Connect the unit to a 220–240V AC lighting circuit capable of handling the specified maximum load. Adjust any built-in sensitivity or time-delay controls following the manufacturer's instructions to balance detection range and switching behaviour. Verify operation by walking through the detection zone and confirming automatic switching and timed turn-off.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid mounting the sensor behind metal objects or inside fully enclosed metal housings; place it where microwave signals have an unobstructed path through non-metallic surfaces. Use the device for sheltered outdoor locations only where protected from direct weather exposure, and ensure connected lighting fixtures do not exceed the specified load.
