Passiv infrarød sensor STEINEL IR 180 COM 1

The STEINEL IR 180 COM 1 is a wired passive infrared sensor designed for indoor wall mounting. It provides reliable motion detection across a coverage area with a maximum detection distance of up to 20 meters and is intended for connection to mains voltage (220–240 V). With compact dimensions of 80 mm × 30 mm × 80 mm and a rated switching capacity suitable for loads up to 2000 W, the unit is suitable for controlling lighting and other electrical appliances to improve security and energy efficiency in indoor environments.

Advantages

The sensor combines a long detection reach with compact housing for discreet installation on indoor walls. Its wired design supports stable mains operation without the need for batteries, and the 220–240 V input ensures compatibility with standard domestic and commercial supplies. The 2000 W switching capacity allows the sensor to drive common lighting circuits directly, reducing the need for additional switching devices. Low-profile dimensions make it easy to position in corridors, stairwells, utility rooms and other confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Automatic control of indoor lighting in corridors and staircases
• Energy-saving activation for storage rooms and utility areas
• Security-based motion detection in offices and communal areas
• Integration with mains-powered lighting circuits in residential or commercial buildings

Key specifications

• Sensor type: Passive infrared (PIR), wired
• Mounting: Indoor wall mounting
• Detection distance: Up to 20 m
• Operating voltage: 220–240 V AC
• Maximum switching capacity: 2000 W
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 80 mm × 30 mm × 80 mm

How to use

Install the sensor on a stable indoor wall surface at a height and orientation that provides an unobstructed field of view for the monitored area. Connect the device to the mains supply (220–240 V) following local electrical codes and safety practices; wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician. Adjust any built-in sensitivity or timing settings according to the traffic pattern and desired activation behavior. After commissioning, test the detection area and make fine adjustments to ensure reliable activation of connected lighting or equipment.

Recommendations

Position the sensor to avoid direct exposure to heat sources or reflective surfaces that could cause false triggers. For stable operation, ensure the connected load does not exceed the 2000 W rating and use appropriate protective devices on the circuit. Regularly inspect mounting and wiring for wear or damage and follow local regulations for mains-powered device installations.
