BEG BRCK LUXOMAT RC-plus next N 230 KNX Presence Detector, White

In modern office buildings, conference rooms, and open-plan spaces, lighting and climate control often run unnecessarily when areas are unoccupied, wasting energy and driving up costs. The BEG BRCK LUXOMAT RC-plus next N 230 KNX presence detector solves this by continuously monitoring the room and automatically adjusting lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning based on actual presence and ambient light levels. Its 360° PIR sensor detects even the slightest movements, ensuring that every corner of the room is covered. With three independent KNX channels for light, HVAC, and presence, this device integrates seamlessly into KNX building automation systems, enabling sophisticated control strategies such as constant light regulation, scene control, and demand-driven HVAC operation. The detector is designed for ceiling flush mounting and comes in a discreet white housing (RAL 9010), blending perfectly with any ceiling. Configuration is straightforward via the ETS software, and optional IR remote control allows for convenient on-site adjustments. Whether you are retrofitting an existing building or equipping a new one, this presence detector delivers reliable performance, energy savings, and enhanced occupant comfort.

Why choose it

This presence detector stands out for its precise 360° detection and robust KNX integration. It offers three independent channels, allowing you to control lighting, HVAC, and presence-based automation separately, which maximizes energy efficiency. The adjustable light sensor and delay times let you fine-tune the system to match the specific usage patterns of each room. The UV-stabilised polycarbonate housing ensures long-term durability, and the option to use a surface-mounted box (IP54) extends its applicability to more demanding environments. With a wide operating temperature range, it is suitable for both heated and unheated spaces.

Ideal use cases

• Office buildings and meeting rooms for automatic lighting and climate control
• Conference rooms where presence-based scene activation is required
• Open-plan offices to reduce energy consumption during unoccupied periods
• Corridors and stairwells for demand-driven lighting
• Educational facilities and public buildings with KNX automation

Good to know

The detector is configured using ETS (Engineering Tool Software) and can be adjusted remotely via an optional IR remote control. It is designed for ceiling flush mounting; a surface-mounted box is available separately if IP54 protection is needed. The device does not require an external power supply, as it is powered directly from the KNX bus. For optimal detection, mount it at a height of 2.5 to 3 meters in a location with a clear view of the area to be monitored.
