PROXIMAT Motion Detector WALL MOUNT 12M FT.15M(7.5+7.5)SIDE.240° 5-2000 LUX TIMING:

The Orbis PROXIMAT motion detector, reference OB132312, is a PIR infrared sensor designed to automate lighting circuits by detecting people in passage areas. It is surface-mounted on a wall and offers a wide 240° detection angle, with a frontal range of up to 12 meters and total side coverage of up to 15 meters at 20 °C.

Its head can be rotated horizontally up to 180° to direct the detection field toward the desired area. In addition, it allows the time delay to be adjusted between 10 seconds and 10 minutes, the light level to be set between 5 and 2000 lux, and the detector sensitivity to be modified. Its IP45 protection rating makes it suitable for use both indoors and in appropriate outdoor locations.

Wide 240° detection field

The Orbis PROXIMAT offers a 240° detection angle, especially suitable for controlling large areas from a wall-mounted installation. At an approximate height of 2.5 meters and an ambient temperature of 20 °C, it reaches up to 12 meters in the frontal direction and 15 meters of side coverage.

The side coverage extends approximately 7.5 meters to each side of the detector. Actual performance may vary depending on ambient temperature, installation height, sensor orientation, and the direction in which a person crosses the detection beams.

Adjustable head up to 180°

The detector head can be rotated horizontally up to 180°, allowing the detection area to be shifted toward the specific area to be monitored. This feature makes it easy to adapt to entrances, corridors, facades, landings, porches, and other configurations where the detector cannot be installed directly facing the passage area.

Orbis recommends a mounting height between 2 and 3 meters for proper detection.

Wall, corner, or angle installation

The PROXIMAT is designed for surface mounting and can be installed on a flat wall, in a corner, or on an angle. The manufacturer includes specific fixing accessories to facilitate these configurations.

This versatility makes it possible to adapt the detector to different building layouts and correctly orient its detection field without the need for additional brackets.

Adjustable time delay from 10 seconds to 10 minutes

The time during which the circuit remains switched on after motion is detected can be adjusted from approximately 10 seconds to 10 minutes.

A short period is suitable for fast-moving traffic areas, while longer times allow the lighting to remain on in entrances, stairways, corridors, or areas where users stay for longer periods.

Once the delay has ended, the detector has a brief inactive period of approximately 3 seconds before detection starts again.

Light level adjustment from 5 to 2000 lux

The PROXIMAT incorporates an adjustable twilight sensor ranging from 5 to 2000 lux. This function makes it possible to determine the ambient light level below which the circuit should be activated when motion is detected.

It can be configured to operate mainly at night or in low-light conditions, avoiding unnecessary switching on when natural light is sufficient.

Adjustable detection sensitivity

In addition to the time and light settings, the detector has a dedicated selector to modify detection sensitivity. This allows the sensor behavior to be adapted to the size and characteristics of the controlled area.

The sensitivity of any PIR detector may be reduced when the ambient temperature approaches body temperature, a factor that should be taken into account when assessing the actual range under certain conditions.

Limiters to customize the detection area

The PROXIMAT is supplied with two field limiters that allow specific sectors of the lens to be blocked. These elements can be adapted to prevent detection in certain directions and reduce activations caused outside the area to be controlled.

This is especially useful when the detector is installed near circulation areas outside the installation, doors, windows, or other spaces that should not trigger switching on.

Zero-crossing relay switching

The detector incorporates a zero-crossing relay, a technology designed to improve the switching of certain electronic loads such as LED luminaires, fluorescent lamps, and energy-saving lamps.

The contact offers a breaking capacity of 10 A at 230 V AC with cos φ = 1.

Compatible with different lighting technologies

Orbis specifies different maximum loads depending on the technology connected to the detector.

• Incandescent lamps: up to 2000 W.
• Fluorescent lamps: up to 1300 VA.
• Low-voltage halogen lamps: up to 1300 VA.
• 230 V halogen lamps: up to 2000 W.
• Energy-saving lamps: up to 1300 VA.
• LED lighting: up to 500 VA.

LED status indicator

The PROXIMAT includes an LED indicator that lights up when the device detects motion. This signal makes it easier to check operation during installation and when adjusting the coverage area.

IP45 protection

The detector has an IP45 protection rating according to EN 60529, offering protection against the ingress of solid objects and against water jets within the conditions established by this classification.

Its operating temperature ranges from -10 to +40 °C, so it can be used in different residential, communal, and professional applications.
