Motion sensor Steinel SensIQ ws EVO white IP54 160° - wall/ceiling-mounted presence detector

Steinel SensIQ ws EVO in white is a compact wall- or ceiling-mounted presence detector with IP54 protection and a 160° detection angle. Designed to identify both movement and presence, it provides reliable control of lighting and security systems in indoor and sheltered outdoor locations. The device combines a discreet housing with adjustable detection parameters to suit corridors, entrances, offices and other areas where splash and dust resistance is required.

Advantages

The SensIQ ws EVO delivers consistent presence detection through a wide 160° coverage area and IP54-rated protection against dust and water splashes, enabling installation in protected outdoor zones as well as indoor spaces. Its selectable mounting options for wall or ceiling placement and configurable sensitivity and hold-time settings make it adaptable to different room geometries and usage patterns. The white finish integrates unobtrusively into most interiors while the design focuses on stable switching behaviour to reduce false triggers.

How to use

Install the sensor on a stable wall or ceiling surface at the recommended mounting height for the chosen application, taking into account the 160° field of detection. Connect the unit to the lighting or security circuit according to the applicable wiring standards and the manufacturer's installation instructions. Adjust sensitivity, detection reach and hold time to match expected occupancy patterns and to avoid unwanted activations from distant movement. Test the device operation after installation and fine-tune settings if needed.

Recommendations

Position the SensIQ ws EVO to avoid direct exposure to reflective surfaces or heat sources that may affect detection. For sheltered outdoor use, ensure the sensor is mounted where it is protected from direct rain while maintaining the required IP54 conditions. Periodically clean the housing to remove dust and debris and verify settings after any major changes to the room layout.
