            Automate lighting of access to your home

             
             

            Value proposition

            Main drivers

            • To ensure that exterior light automatically turns on when somebody comes in but only when it's dark.
            • It's a matter of energy savings without compromising on comfort or safety.

             

            Value proposition

            • Up to 50% energy saving by automatically extinguishing lighting when it is not necessary.
            • Automation avoids relying on uncertain human action and secures savings while providing increased comfort and safety.

             

            Differentiation factors

            • A 180° movement detector installed at compulsory passing places ensures automatic control of lighting in the presence of a person or of any other motion and according to brightness level .

            Architecture
            • The rating of the protection circuit-breaker depends on installed power and load type.
            • To cancel the Unica switch, connect the lighting circuit directly to the CDM 180 output LS.
             

            Main Energy Efficiency characteristics

            • The CDM 180 movement detector allows detection within a 12 m by 6 m range 180°:

                It ensures automatic lighting of access points according to a preset brightness threshold

                The brightness threshold is adjustable between 1000 lux (tripping in broad daylight) and 2 lux (tripping in darkness)

                The time delay keeps lighting switched on during a preset time after the last movement detection

                The time delay is adjustable between 5 seconds and 12 minutes.

            • An optional Sw switch can be associated. It allows ON override of lighting if required.
            • Control of single-phase loads without relays up to a power of 1 kW.
