SMARTSENSE PRO Sensor by Simx
Description

An exterior PIR sensor suitable for both ceiling and wall installation. Engineered to offer more functionality than a standard sensor, allowing optionally for dusk to dawn triggering, or for Pulse functionality. Careful consideration to European design trends are incorporated to the aesthetics of this device.

Key Features
  • Exterior sensing zone is up to 12m in diameter and 180° from a nominal mounting height of 2.5m
  • With Zero Cross Switching included to suppress in-rush currents, SMARTSENSE PRO will independently switch up to 400watts of LED lighting
  • Adjustable activation settings between daylight and night, and a run-on time setting up to 15mins after last detection
  • Dusk Learn function to automatically set the trigger light level
  • Manual Override capable with a single flick of switch
  • D-Mode function to disable PIR (movement detection) and operate solely as a daylight switch (turns on at dusk and off at dawn)
  • Pulse Mode function to trigger a single pulse, for operation of separate time clocks, electric gates, stairwell lighting, and conveyors
  • Fully waterproof to IP55, this sensor can be located externally in exposed locations
  • Constructed of UV stabilised Polycarbonate and available in Black or White finish (including lens)
  • To improve the installed aesthetic, the Black housing version of SMARTSENSE PRO incorporates a black detection lens
Scope of Use

Intended applications include: residential housing, walkways and car parking in commercial spaces, perimeter security detection for commercial, institutional and industrial locations.

  • Fully waterproof to IP55, this sensor can be located externally in exposed locations
  • Due to the low operating temperature minimum and waterproof ratings, SMARTSENSE PRO can also be deployed inside chillers and freezers down to -25°C
  • Aiming adjustment is via a ball-joint with inbuilt lock mechanism so it cannot shift in high wind zones
  • Features two power entry gaskets for looping, and can be wired from the rear or from below the mounting base if cabling is surface mounted

 

Limitations on Use

Installation should be completed by a registered electrician.

PIR sensors detect heat signature movements in comparison to ambient temperature. In locations with higher ambient temperatures the PIR can struggle to identify a temperature difference if the ambient and moving heat signatures are close together. The maximum operating temperature for reliable triggering is considered at 50°C, and minimum ambient temperature for reliable triggering is considered down to -25°C.

Statement of Building Code Compliance

SDoC compliance tested to AS/NZS 60669.1:2017 + 60669.2.1:2021, and to AS CISPR 15:2017. Additionally conforms to REACH and RoHs directives.

In-Service History

SIMX Lighting have been supplying PIR sensors to the electrical trade since 1983. Due to this, SIMX knowledge of sensors is unequalled.

The predecessor PIR sensor that the new SMARTSENSE PRO is succeeding has been sold in New Zealand since 2006, with well over 600,000 units installed in both residential and commercial applications.
