18.01.8.230.0000 Finder PIR wall mount 1pole 10A 120/230V

Why Choose the Finder 18.01.8.230.0000 PIR Movement Detector?

The Finder 18.01.8.230.0000 is a wall-mounted PIR movement detector from Finder's Series 18, designed for automatic lighting control in internal installations. Operating from 120–230 V AC at 50/60 Hz, it combines passive infrared movement sensing with a 1 NO (SPST-NO) 10 A output contact for dependable control of lighting loads.

Designed for flexible wall installation, the detector can be directionally adjusted to optimise its coverage area. It provides a detection angle of up to 110° and a detection range of up to 10 m, allowing a single detector to monitor entrances, corridors, stairways, utility spaces and other indoor areas where lighting should operate automatically when movement is detected.

The detector incorporates a built-in light-dependent sensor with an adjustable ambient-light threshold from 5–350 lx, together with an adjustable output delay from 10 seconds to 12 minutes. These settings allow the lighting response to be tailored to the installation, helping avoid unnecessary operation when sufficient natural or artificial light is already available.

Key Advantages

• Passive infrared (PIR) movement detection for automatic indoor lighting control.

Adjustable PIR Control for Automatic Lighting

The Finder 18.01 detects movement using passive infrared technology. When movement is detected within the monitored area and the ambient-light level meets the selected threshold, the detector closes its 1 NO output contact to energise the connected lighting circuit. After movement ceases, the output remains active for the selected delay period before automatically switching off.

Both the ambient-light threshold and switch-off delay can be adjusted during installation. The light threshold can be set between 5 and 350 lx, while the output timing can be adjusted between 10 seconds and 12 minutes. Together with the adjustable sensor orientation and up to 10 m detection range, these controls allow the detector to be configured for the characteristics of the room and the required lighting behaviour.

Typical Applications

• Automatic indoor lighting control.
• Corridors and passageways.
• Stairways and entrance areas.
• Storage rooms and utility spaces.
• Commercial buildings and offices.
• Industrial buildings and workshops.
• Energy-saving lighting installations.
• Areas requiring movement-activated LED lighting.
