Presence detectors automatically detect the presence of someone inside the room. The highly sensitive sensors can detect the smallest movements, providing intelligent automation for modern buildings.
Light that responds automatically makes everyday life much easier. It switches on automatically when someone enters a room and immediately provides orientation.
Good illumination plays an important role for safety - it helps to clearly detect paths and prevent accidents. On stairs or during the night on the way to the toilet, adequate illumination provides orientation and confidence.
Light, only when it is actually needed. This saves energy and protects resources. Energy savings of 30-60% depending on the area of application.
Our presence detectors reliably detect whether a room is being used. Beyond illumination, heating and other building functions can be controlled according to requirement - for greater comfort, safety and efficiency in the building.
ABB presence detectors are available with two different sensor technologies, each suited to specific applications
Choose PIR for straightforward room detection, or HF when barriers or precise adjustability is needed.
