ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • 19 The production and use of energy account for more than 75% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising the EU’s energy system is therefore critical to reach our 2030 climate objectives and the EU’s long-term strategy of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. One of the key principles for clean energy transition is prioritising energy efficiency and improving the energy performance of our buildings. For example, it must be possible to turn off lights in the various common areas of unoccupied commercial premises. Our range of detectors lets you choose the most effective way to manage lighting and meet these requirements. Reliable detection Our detectors allow you to manage and automate lighting in residential and commercial buildings easily and efficiently. You can choose detectors to suit different environments, with options that include presence and/or motion sensors plus a choice of flush or surface-mounting. We offer detection systems for basic, mini, large area, corridor and high-ceilings/ high-bay environments. The new motion and presence detectors are equipped with sensitive passive infrared (PIR) technology. They react to differences in temperature and motion and can detect body movements as well as smaller movements. Quick installation The surface mounted detectors consist of a detachable lower section with screw-fit connection terminal. It can be attached to any standard socket or mounted directly on the ceiling. The upper section, in which the detection optics are located, is then plugged in and screwed into place. Once that’s done, it’s all ready to use! The flush installed detectors are equipped with a rapid mounting system consisting of spring clamps – robust enough to keep the detector resistant to vibration on the suspended ceiling, yet flexible enough that it can be taken out to adjust the settings on the potentiometer. To link it up, simply connect the cables via a plug-in terminal. Strain relief with cable ties ensures long-term secure contact. “energy savings of up to 90% and standby consumption from only 0.3 W” Motion and presence detectors Manage lighting in buildings effectively Long-term savings Electricity costs are rising. According to figures released by Eurostat for the end of 2022, when compared to the average price for the EU-27 countries, Ireland’s electricity prices were 45% higher. With energy savings of up to 90% and standby consumption from only 0.3 W, that’s two good reasons to invest in a detector. hager.com/ie Master/slave operation To extend the detection area, it is possible to connect additional devices (slave) in parallel to the master. Easy to set up The user can set up and adjust all major lighting parameters via two easily accessible potentiometers: Potentiometer 1 adjusts the response brightness (between 5 and 2000 lux), allowing the lighting to be optimally adapted to the daylight. Potentiometer 2 controls the duration of the luminescence (between 5 sec and 60 min). EER503 EER513 1 2
