Motion sensor Steinel SensIQ S KNX 300Gr (model 059606) — KNX presence detector, 300° coverage

Steinel SensIQ S KNX 300Gr is a KNX-compatible presence and motion detector designed for reliable automated lighting and building control. With a 300° detection field, this detector monitors movement and presence across offices, corridors and shared spaces and communicates directly with KNX systems to trigger lighting scenes, occupancy states and energy-saving sequences. The device supports centralized control and helps maintain comfort, security and operational efficiency in commercial and institutional environments.

Advantages

The SensIQ S KNX 300Gr offers wide-angle 300-degree coverage that reduces the number of sensors required per zone and improves detection reliability. Integration with KNX enables flexible configuration of switching, brightness control and presence reporting within a building automation setup. The sensor is suited for both motion-based switching and presence detection, allowing nuanced control of lighting and HVAC systems for energy savings and occupant comfort.

Suitable for

• Office open-plan areas and workspaces
• Corridors, stairwells and passageways
• Meeting rooms and conference areas
• Shared facilities and common areas in commercial buildings

Key specifications

• Detection angle: 300° coverage for broad-area monitoring
• Functionality: motion and presence detection for switching and occupancy reporting
• Interface: KNX-compatible communication for building automation integration
• Typical mounting locations: ceiling or high-position installation for optimal coverage
• Designed use: indoor environments such as offices, corridors and communal spaces

How to use

Install the sensor at the recommended ceiling or high-wall position to maximize its 300° detection range and connect it to the KNX bus according to system wiring guidelines. Configure detection sensitivity, timing and presence reporting through the KNX parameters using the building management or ETS software to match the operational profile of the space. Use the sensor's presence mode for continuous occupancy reporting in meeting rooms and its motion mode for on/off switching in corridors and transient areas.

Recommendations

Position the device centrally in the area to be monitored and avoid obstructions that block the sensor view. Adjust detection sensitivity and time delays during commissioning to prevent false triggers from HVAC drafts or equipment. Combine with KNX lighting scenes and daylight sensors for optimized energy efficiency and user comfort.
