Presence detector flush-mounted Steinel 180° HF KNX IP20 white (MPN 059460)

The Steinel flush-mounted presence detector with a 180° high-frequency (HF) sensor and KNX compatibility is designed for reliable occupancy detection in ceilings or walls. Its white IP20 housing integrates into office, corridor or common-area interiors, using high-frequency sensing to detect both motion and presence. The device connects to KNX building automation systems to control lighting and other functions based on occupancy status, enabling automated energy management and convenient, sensor-driven control of indoor environments.

Advantages

The 180° HF sensor provides wide radial coverage and sensitive presence detection, including stationary occupants. KNX compatibility allows integration with existing building automation for centralized control and scheduling. Flush-mounted design minimizes visual impact and fits standard ceiling or wall installation boxes. IP20 protection is suited to indoor environments, and the white finish blends with common interior décors.

Suitable for

• Office rooms and open-plan workspaces
• Corridors, hallways and stairwells
• Meeting rooms and shared facilities
• Residential common areas and utility rooms

Key specifications

• Sensing technology: 180° high-frequency (HF) presence and motion detection
• Integration: KNX compatible for connection to building automation
• Mounting: flush-mounted for ceiling or wall installation
• Protection rating: IP20 suitable for indoor use
• Finish: white housing designed for low visual impact
• Detection capability: presence detection including stationary persons, and motion detection for movement-based control

How to use

Install the detector into a compatible flush-mount box in a ceiling or wall location that provides an unobstructed coverage area for the 180° sensor. Connect the device to the KNX bus and configure the parameters in the KNX programming tool to set detection sensitivity, hold times, and integration with lighting or HVAC functions. Calibrate coverage and sensitivity as required for the specific room layout and preferred automation behavior. After configuration, the detector will report occupancy status and trigger KNX-linked functions automatically.

Recommendations

For reliable detection, position the detector where the sensor has a clear view of the intended coverage area and avoid placing it behind large metal objects or inside enclosures that could attenuate the HF signal. Adjust sensitivity and hold time settings via KNX to balance between energy savings and occupant comfort.
