PIR motion sensor hugo brennenstuhl PIR 180 wired IP44 180°

Wired PIR motion sensor hugo brennenstuhl PIR 180 provides passive infrared presence detection across a 180° field of view and is designed for indoor and sheltered outdoor locations. With IP44 protection and a hardwired connection, this sensor activates lighting or security circuits reliably without the need for batteries. The unit is intended for mounting in corridors, entrances, garages and covered terraces where automatic switching based on movement improves convenience and energy efficiency.

Advantages

The PIR 180 offers a wide 180° detection angle that covers broad areas with a single device. Its wired design ensures continuous operation and stable response without battery replacement. The IP44-rated enclosure protects against splashing water and foreign objects, making the sensor suitable for protected outdoor mounting. The simple, unobtrusive housing allows for integration with existing lighting or alarm systems and supports automatic control of circuits for convenience and safety.

Suitable for

• Indoor corridors and hallways
• Entrance areas and vestibules
• Garages and carports (sheltered)
• Covered terraces and porches
• Integration with lighting or security systems

Key specifications

• Detection type: Passive infrared (PIR)
• Detection angle: 180°
• Protection rating: IP44 (splash resistant)
• Power supply: Hardwired connection (mains)
• Mounting: Wall or ceiling in sheltered locations
• Operation: Automatic switching based on motion detection

How to use

Install the sensor in a suitable location that provides an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored, typically mounted at a height and orientation that maximizes the 180° coverage. Connect the device to the building mains and to the lighting or security circuit following local electrical regulations; wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician. After power-up, adjust any built-in sensitivity or time-delay settings if available to match the expected traffic and avoid false triggers. Test the system by walking through the detection zone and confirming reliable switching of the connected load.

Recommendations

Place the sensor away from direct heat sources, HVAC vents and reflective glass to reduce false triggers. For sheltered outdoor use, mount the unit under eaves or cover to maintain IP44 conditions. Use with compatible lighting loads and ensure inrush currents from LED drivers are within the supported range of the switching circuit.
