Microwave Sensors

Detection behavior deserves attention when selecting microwave sensors for corridors, stairwells or large commercial spaces. These devices respond to movement using microwave sensing, with coverage and sensitivity that must suit the surrounding construction as well as the occupied area. Review how the detection zone relates to adjacent spaces and the lighting zone it will control.

PIR sensors offer a different approach where direct sight of occupant movement fits the layout. Mounting height, connection requirements and available adjustments narrow the choice further. Hold times, standby behavior and other operating functions should be confirmed for the specific sensor-and-fixture combination.
