Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls turn lights on when movement is detected and off when an area is empty. They fit standard wall plates. All have a manual time delay that will turn lights off after a set amount of inactivity.
Dimming light controls adjust the light’s brightness.
Controls with infrared sensors detect changes in heat and require a direct view of the occupants. Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors detect changes in heat as well as motion to minimize false activations. You can set them to use one or both detection methods to activate and keep lights on.
Controls with an automatic time delay can turn lights off automatically based on usage patterns.
For light controls with 24V DC input voltage, you'll need a power controller to switch a 120- or 277-volt AC lighting circuit. Power controllers have a relay that switches a maximum 20-amp load.

Fixture-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Detect motion near your light fixture to turn lights on and off. Compared to switch-mount motion controls that detect from a single wall, these controls have a better view of the entire space since they sense motion from above. Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls have an infrared sensor that activates when it detects a change in heat. To work properly, they need an unobstructed view of your space. All have a time delay to turn lights off after a set time. Rated IP65, these controls are protected from washdowns.
These light controls monitor motion in a full circle for coverage in all directions. Those that cover 7,690 sq. ft. have lenses that can be swapped out to limit where they sense. Half-circle sensing lenses are best for concentrating coverage to a certain part of a room, such as a workstation or an entrance. Narrow sensing lenses are best for the end of aisles in spaces with high ceilings like those in warehouses and factories.

Speed-Monitoring Switches


Detect unwanted slowdowns in a rotary shaft that could cause machine damage and downtime. These switches are often used on drivetrains, conveyors, and other power-driven components. They come with a pulser disc, which you’ll need to attach to the shaft by drilling and tapping a hole. Once mounted, the disc rotates with the shaft and creates magnetic signals that the switch senses. When the speed falls below a set point, the switch will trigger an alarm or turn off the system.

Vibration-Monitoring Switches with Digital Display
A built-in display makes it easy to view vibration levels, warnings, and the status of these switches. Use the push-buttons to set and adjust activation points for vibration as well as a start delay to avoid false triggering from start-up vibration. Memory storage captures readings at regular intervals, which lets you analyze your process. These switches have a 5-pole M12 plug that connects to cables with a socket (sold separately), so you can quickly connect and disconnect them. They are IP67 rated for protection from dust and brief submersion. Switches meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards. They also meet ISO standards for vibration monitoring.
Use Nano M8/USB adapter cords to connect these switches to your computer.
Use a magnetic base for temporary mounting or a glue-on base for more permanent mounting.

Motion-Sensing Modules for Development Boards
By detecting body heat, these modules sense when people are moving. Connect them to your development board to integrate them into alarm systems, automated lighting, and other applications.
Modules with an adjustable infrared motion sensor let you expand or lower the sensing distance. To connect them to a device, solder wires or headers to them.
Modules with a fixed infrared motion and thermal sensor can detect if a person is moving or even just present within the sensing distance. That means you could use them to automate lighting in an office where workers are sitting still. To connect them to your device, solder on wires or headers. For a solderless connection, use a Qwiic cord.

Motion-Sensing Automatic Door Switches
For hands-free entry, these switches send a door-opening signal when they detect motion. They hardwire to automatic door openers, electromagnetic locks, and electric strikes to control circuits. An indicator light changes color when the switch is activated, confirming proper setup.
Instant-open switches send a signal to open doors automatically as you approach.
Time-delay switches send a signal when you wave your hand directly in front of them. They're often used in place of push-button wall switches to reduce the spread of germs. They can be set on a delay, so users have adequate time to reach the door before it opens. Mount them to electrical boxes or surface-mount boxes (not included).
