Out of Stock

The PM13 is a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor module designed for direct AC line voltage (100-240V) operation, enabling automated control of lighting and electrical loads in residential and commercial settings. It features adjustable detection sensitivity, time delay, and ambient light threshold for energy-efficient automation.

Features

  • AC-Powered PIR Sensor: Operates directly from 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz mains, eliminating the need for a separate DC power supply.
  • Wide-Angle Detection: Covers a 140° field of view with a maximum detection range of 7-10 meters for human movement.
  • Adjustable Control Parameters: Features user-selectable time delay (8 sec to 10 min) and ambient light threshold (10-2000 LUX) for customized automation.
  • High-Capacity Load Switching: Rated for up to 200W incandescent, 100W energy-saving, or 50W LED loads for versatile appliance control.
  • Low Standby Consumption: Consumes less than 0.45W during operation and only 0.1W in static mode for energy efficiency.

Description

The PM13 Human Infrared Sensor utilizes a pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensing element to detect the thermal radiation emitted by moving human bodies. Its integrated signal conditioning circuitry filters out environmental noise and triggers a solid-state relay to switch the connected AC load. The sensor is designed for wall or ceiling mounting at heights between 0.4 and 1.8 meters for optimal coverage.

Engineered for reliability in indoor environments, it operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +40°C and up to 93% relative humidity. The detection algorithm is optimized for human motion speeds between 0.6 and 1.5 meters per second, minimizing false triggers from pets or other non-human heat sources. Its compact, durable housing is built for long-term integration into building automation and security systems.

Key Features

  • Mains-Voltage Ready: Built-in circuitry accepts 100-240V AC input directly, simplifying installation in standard electrical boxes.
  • Precision PIR Sensing: Advanced Fresnel lens and filtering provide stable, reliable detection of human presence within the defined zone.
  • Fully Programmable Operation: On-board potentiometers allow fine-tuning of delay duration and daylight sensor sensitivity to match application needs.
  • Robust Load Handling: Internal relay is rated for resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads compatible with modern lighting technologies.
  • Compact & Installer-Friendly: Standard 86-type switch box dimensions (approx. 78mm x 78mm) and low profile facilitate retrofitting into existing wiring.
  • Visual Status Indicator: Integrated LED provides clear feedback for motion detection and power status during setup and operation.

Applications

  • Automatic Lighting Control: For corridors, stairwells, storage rooms, and bathrooms to enhance safety and reduce energy waste.
  • Commercial Building Automation: Integrating into occupancy-based HVAC or lighting systems in offices, hotels, and retail spaces.
  • Residential Security & Convenience: Triggering lights upon entry in garages, porches, or hallways for added security and hands-free operation.
  • Appliance Control: Automating exhaust fans, signage, or display lighting based on room occupancy in public areas.
  • Energy Management Systems: Providing occupancy data for smart building systems to optimize power usage in unoccupied zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum electrical load this PM13 sensor can switch?

The PM13 sensor's internal relay is rated for different load types: a maximum of 200 Watts for incandescent (resistive) bulbs, 100 Watts for compact fluorescent (energy-saving) lamps, and 50 Watts for LED lighting fixtures. It is crucial not to exceed these ratings to ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the sensor's switching components.

How do I adjust the sensor's sensitivity and delay time?

The PM13 features two onboard adjustment potentiometers accessible after removing the faceplate. One controls the time delay, allowing you to set how long the connected load remains on after motion is detected, from a minimum of 8 seconds to a maximum of 10 minutes. The other adjusts the ambient light threshold (LUX level), determining the darkness level at which the sensor will activate, from 10 to 2000 LUX.

Can this sensor be used outdoors or in wet locations?

No, the PM13 is designed for indoor use only. While it can operate in environments with up to 93% relative humidity, it lacks a formal IP (Ingress Protection) rating for water or dust resistance. Its operating temperature range is -20°C to +40°C. For outdoor applications, a sensor housed in a dedicated waterproof enclosure with appropriate IP ratings (e.g., IP65 or higher) is required.

What is the recommended installation height and orientation for optimal performance?

For best detection coverage of the 140° field of view, install the PM13 at a height between 0.4 and 1.8 meters above the floor. Mount it on a wall or ceiling in a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the area you wish to monitor. Avoid pointing it directly at heat sources like radiators, air vents, or direct sunlight, as these can cause false triggers.
