Steinel Motion Sensor IS 140-2 White, 140° Infrared Movement Detector, 14m Range, Swiveling, Max. 1000 W or 6 LED Lights

I recently installed the Steinel Motion Sensor IS 140-2 Black in my home, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in terms of both security and convenience. Here's why I'm impressed: Firstly, the adjustability of this motion sensor is outstanding. It can be horizontally and vertically adjusted, allowing for targeted detection along the building with a wide 140° angle of coverage. This ensures that every corner of the area is monitored effectively. The range of the motion detector is also impressive, reaching up to 14 meters. This extensive coverage ensures that large areas are thoroughly surveyed, providing enhanced security and peace of mind. One of the standout features of the IS 140-2 is its use of spherical Fresnel lenses. These lenses detect people with great precision and consistency, ensuring reliable detection without false alarms. Furthermore, the optical system of the motion sensor can be swiveled through 180° and tilted through 90°, allowing for precise adjustment of the detection zone. Additionally, the detection zone can be customized using the provided shrouds, providing flexibility to tailor the sensor to specific needs. The housing of the IS 140-2 is made of UV-resistant plastic, ensuring durability and longevity even in outdoor environments. Moreover, the response value luminosity ranges from 2 to 2000 lx, allowing for adaptable performance based on ambient light conditions. Installation of the IS 140-2 is quick and straightforward, with the option to wire it up and mount it to the wall or corner. Corner wall mounts are available as accessories, further simplifying the installation process. Overall, the Steinel Motion Sensor IS 140-2 Black offers a combination of advanced features, customizable settings, and ease of installation, making it an excellent choice for enhancing security and convenience in any environment.

These Steinel units work much better than the retail sheds' PIR's, which are cheaply made in China and pack up after a couple of years (typically by latching permanently on). I've ended up using about a dozen to replace old PIR's as they fail, and can vouch for their superior quality and reliability. However they too can fail eventually, in which case you simply swap round a new identical 140-2 PIR head onto the old base, reconnecting Live In, Neutral, Last Load Live Out on the internal connnector "choc bloc".... obviously disconnecting the mains supply before undertaking any electrical work. I have had a couple fail in the same way after about 5 years. This is cycling on and off every 30-45 seconds, with no heat source activation. This means your light will stay on permanently if there is any sort of time set on the unit. Disconnecting the PIR head and seeing if the Live In and Live Out wires offer no resistance on a multimeter (ie light always on) will not reveal the problem....the PIR has to be connected to the mains for this cycling to occur. I discovered this on an installation featuring 5 PIR's acting as a single network driving 5 floodlights all together via a relay, where the floodlights ended up after many years all on permanently. I ended up having to take each PIR head off in turn, using a simple rig to check which PIR head was the offender, as pictured. The malfunctioning PIR head, with both knobs turned fully clockwise for the "walk test", seemingly functioned perfectly. However if you then stayed out of range, the PIR head would start cycling, showing it was the one to replace.

Good quality sensor with fitting options, a little expensive but worth the extra.

This is a good product and works well, but we have not been able to make it register us at the 12 m range as claimed. More like 8-10 meters. Easy to adjust the settings though and seems good quality. It was fitted by an electrician so cannot comment on the ease of fitting. Update: We have now managed to extend the range - it is important to get the angle just right as the IR beam emitted seems to be flattish. I think we had the sensor pointing too low so that it hit the ground too soon. It does now light up at 12m range.

My yard is quite large and this sensor has the coverage needed. I have used various sensors over the years but today all the wholesalers seem to stock outdoor sensors in the £10 to £20 range which say they have 12M range, in my opinion they don't, I have used these in the past in various applications, they do work but it is annoying when you have to walk over to the sensor to turn on the lights. I have fitted many Steniel sensors in the past, they give excellent coverage and last many years in comparison to the current market offerings, I suppose you get what you pay for.

Failed after 3 months. Light flashes on and off rapidly

It works ok but I really think the designers should have to install one themselves. The wiring enclosure is badly laid out with cable entry too close to the strip connector. It's just unnecessarily fiddly and getting the cover to fit with two of the tiniest screws I have ever seen is a pain. Adjusting the setting again are ridiculously difficult to get a screwdriver on. It just needs two knobs that can be turned with your fingers.

Excellent piece of kit. Well happy.

En 2007, j'ai installé 3 détecteurs de mouvement de qualité pour mes extérieurs et j'en était très content. Malheureusement, passé 10-15 ans, ils m'ont lâché un a un et je les ai remplacés par des détecteur achetés dans les grandes enseignes de bricolage. La fiabilité, la qualité étaient très médiocres, le réglage de la temporisation compliqué car peu précis, quand à la durée de vie, elle variait de quelques jours à un an (ils ne résistaient pas aux variations de température, et à l'humidité). Je pense en avoir acheté une dizaine ces 5 dernières années. J'ai finalement décidé d'acheter 3 détecteurs Steinel IS 140-2, et j'ai enfin retrouvé des détecteurs de qualité, fiables aux réglages précis et qui ne se désagrègent pas dès la première année !!! Si comme moi, vous voulez être tranquille, je vous recommande ce modèle.

Lätt att montera och lätt att justera

Sensore di movimento. Prezzo elevato giustificato dalla qualità prodotto

El producto está muy bien el precio un poco !!! carillo !!! El tiempo lo dirá

Helaas,40jaar terug is de schakeldraad gebruikt als aarde draad in een eerdere verdeeldoos en daardoor verkeerd aangesloten en kortsluiting gemaakt en kon niet gebruiken.
