Front features
The MPAD-C-A 12-24V Microwave presence detector
provides automatic control of low voltage loads including
lighting and BMS systems with optional manual control. The
MPAD-C-A 12-24V detects movement using a highly
sensitive microwave detector. This works by emitting low
power microwave signals and measuring the reflections as
the signals bounce off moving objects.
Functioning as a presence detector, the unit can turn lights
on when a room is occupied and off when the room is
empty. Optional settings allow lights to be turned off in
response to ambient daylight.
The MPAD-C-A 12-24V has a unique adjustable sensor
head that allows the area of detection to be optimised for
the application.
All functionality is fully programmable using an IR handset.
