Passive infrared sensor Brennenstuhl PIR 180 Wired White

The Brennenstuhl PIR 180 Wired White is a passive infrared motion sensor designed to automatically switch lamps on and off when movement is detected within its coverage. Suitable for indoor and outdoor installation, the unit is IP44 rated and operates at 230 V. It supports incandescent, halogen, energy-saving and LED lamps and offers a detection angle of 180° with a maximum range of 12 m.

Advantages

This wired PIR sensor provides adjustable detection range and time delay, allowing control over how long lights stay on (from 10 seconds up to 4 minutes). The response brightness setting lets you define the ambient light level at which the sensor activates. It handles high switching loads for traditional bulbs (up to 1000 W) and specifies maximum loads for energy-saving lamps (300 W) and LEDs (100 W). The housing can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally for precise alignment.

Suitable for

• Entrance areas and hallways
• Porches, garages and outdoor lighting (IP44)
• Stairwells and utility rooms
• Energy-efficient lighting control with mixed lamp types

How to use

Mount the sensor in a suitable location where the detection zone covers the desired area and connect it to a 230 V supply following local electrical regulations. Adjust horizontal and vertical orientation to aim the detection field correctly. Set the response brightness to define the ambient light threshold, then set the time delay between 10 seconds and 4 minutes according to the required lighting duration. Ensure lamp types do not exceed the specified maximum switching capacities.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, install the sensor at a recommended height and avoid pointing it directly at heat sources or reflective surfaces. When using LED or energy-saving lamps, check that their combined wattage stays within the specified limits to prevent overload.
