Motion sensor Steinel sensIQ KNX IP54 300° for KNX systems, model 059576

Steinel sensIQ KNX motion sensor model 059576 is an IP54-rated presence detector designed for integration with KNX building automation systems. With a 300° detection coverage and housing suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor mounting, the sensor monitors movement to trigger lighting and other KNX-controlled functions. The device supports reliable presence detection and contributes to energy-efficient control strategies in commercial and residential installations.

Advantages

The sensIQ KNX sensor combines wide-angle detection with compact, weather-resistant construction to deliver consistent motion sensing in corridors, entrance areas and covered outdoor zones. Its KNX compatibility ensures seamless communication with building automation networks, enabling automated lighting, HVAC interlocks and scene control. IP54 protection keeps the device operational in dusty environments and against water splashes, while the large detection angle reduces blind spots and optimizes coverage from a single mounting point.

Suitable for

• Automated lighting control in offices, corridors and stairwells
• Presence detection for energy management in commercial buildings
• Integration into KNX scenes and HVAC control strategies
• Sheltered outdoor areas such as covered entrances and walkways

Key specifications

• Detection coverage: 300° horizontal angle
• Ingress protection: IP54 suitable for dust and splash resistance
• Integration: KNX bus interface for building automation
• Mounting: wall- or ceiling-adjacent mounting options for covered areas
• Functional use: motion/presence detection for lighting and control systems

How to use

Install the sensIQ KNX motion sensor at the recommended height and orientation to maximize the 300° detection field, taking care to avoid pointing the sensor directly at heat sources or reflective surfaces. Connect the device to the KNX bus following KNX installation standards and configure detection parameters and communication objects within the KNX engineering tool. After commissioning, test detection zones and adjust sensitivity or time settings as needed to match occupancy patterns and desired control behavior.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, mount the sensor in a protected location sheltered from direct rain and strong sunlight. Verify KNX integration and object mapping during commissioning and fine-tune sensitivity and hold times to prevent unwanted switching in high-traffic or rapidly changing environments.
