Motion sensor Steinel IR4360-8 IP44 360° detection angle

The Steinel IR4360-8 IP44 360° detection angle motion sensor is designed to detect presence and movement around the installation point with full-area coverage. With a continuous 360° sensor range and IP44 protection, this motion detector is suitable for indoor environments and sheltered outdoor locations where splash protection is required. It interfaces with lighting and alarm systems to trigger automated responses when movement is detected, helping to manage energy use and enhance safety in stairwells, corridors, entrances and covered façades.

Advantages

The unit provides true 360° detection for comprehensive coverage without blind spots directly beneath the sensor. Its IP44 rating offers protection against water splashes and solid objects larger than 1 mm, making it appropriate for covered outdoor installations as well as interior use. The Steinel design focuses on reliable motion recognition combined with straightforward electrical integration, allowing the sensor to switch lighting or signal external control systems. Compact dimensions and a neutral housing make it compatible with typical ceiling and wall mounting locations.

Suitable for

• Stairwells and landings where full-area detection is required
• Corridors and passageways in residential and commercial buildings
• Entrance zones and lobbies with sheltered outdoor access
• Covered façades and porches where splash protection is needed

Key specifications

• Detection angle: 360° full-area coverage
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash-resistant)
• Detection type: Passive infrared motion detection
• Mounting options: Ceiling or wall mounting in sheltered locations
• Application environment: Indoor and sheltered outdoor areas

How to use

Install the motion sensor at a central position on the ceiling or high on a wall to maximise the 360° coverage. Connect the sensor following local electrical regulations and the wiring diagram supplied with the device to integrate with lighting circuits or alarm inputs. Adjust the sensor height and orientation so that the main walking routes fall within the detection field. After powering the unit, perform functional tests to confirm reliable switching and adjust any sensitivity or time-delay settings if provided by the model.

Recommendations

Position the sensor away from direct heat sources, air vents and moving vegetation to minimise false triggers. For outdoor-proximate installations, ensure the unit is under a protective overhang to maintain the IP44 protection performance. Regularly inspect the mounting and clean the sensor window to preserve detection reliability.
