Product overview
The Commel motion sensor is a practical choice for automated lighting control in homes, offices, corridors, stairways or sheltered outdoor areas. Designed for wall mounting, it helps reduce unnecessary energy use by switching the light on only when movement is detected within its coverage area.
With an IP44 protection rating, the sensor is suitable for use in environments where it may be exposed to splashing water or increased humidity, such as covered terraces, garages or entrance areas. Its compact design allows it to blend discreetly into most interiors and building facades.
Key features
- Detection range: up to 12 m
- Detection angle: 180°
- Maximum rated load: 1200 W
- Mounting type: wall-mounted
- Protection rating: IP44 (protected against solid objects >1 mm and splashing water)
Usage and application
This motion sensor is ideal wherever automatic lighting is needed for comfort, safety or energy saving:
- Entrances and hallways
- Staircases and corridors
- Garages and storage rooms
- Covered outdoor walkways and terraces (within IP44 limits)
When correctly installed and adjusted, the sensor detects movement within its 12 m, 180° field and triggers the connected lighting circuit up to the specified maximum load.
Installation notes
Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, following local electrical regulations and the product’s wiring diagram. Ensure the sensor is mounted at the recommended height and angle for optimal detection, and avoid pointing it directly at heat sources or moving objects such as trees or busy streets.
By integrating the Commel motion sensor into your lighting system, you can achieve convenient, hands-free operation while helping to optimize energy consumption.
