Sontay introduces improved sensors for lighting control

Sontay

Sontay has introduced two wall-mounted sensors to improve the control of lighting in commercial and public buildings. One is a light-level transmitter, and the other is a passive infra-red detector to monitor room occupancy as part of an integrated building-control system. Key improvements include extended range and field of view to increase the area coverage of each sensor.

The light-level transmitter has a range of up to 21 m and coverage of 90°. The PIR detector has a range of 18 m and coverage of 90°.

A time delay of 10 s to 30 min can be set for the PIR detector, and its new curved design makes it less obtrusive.

The light-level transmitter has a range of 10 to 2000 lux and provides a linear 0 to 10 V DC output.
