Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi BSH-LUX-U Lux Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi BSH-LUX-U is a Smart-Dupline light intensity sensor designed for indoor and outdoor building automation applications. It measures ambient illumination and transmits the light-level value to a compatible Smart-Dupline controller, allowing lighting, shading and other automated functions to respond to changing daylight conditions.

With a measuring range of 0 to 20 kLux when connected to the SH2WEB24 platform, the BSH-LUX-U provides continuous light-level information for intelligent building-control functions. The sensor is powered directly from the Dupline bus, eliminating the need for a separate external power supply and helping simplify installation.

Designed for wall mounting, the BSH-LUX-U has a compact white housing and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation. Its IP44 protection rating and operating temperature range of -30 to +60 °C support use across a wide variety of building automation environments, while a yellow LED provides visual indication of correct Dupline bus operation.

Key Advantages

  • 0 to 20 kLux measuring range with compatible SH2WEB24 Smart-Dupline systems.
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor light-level measurement.
  • Bus-powered operation eliminates the need for a separate sensor power supply.
  • Integrates directly with Carlo Gavazzi Smart-Dupline building automation systems.
  • Provides light-level data for automated lighting and shading functions.
  • Compact design supports straightforward wall mounting.
  • IP44 protection for suitable indoor and outdoor installations.
  • Integrated yellow LED provides convenient Dupline bus status indication.

Reliable Light Measurement for Smart Building Automation

Accurate ambient-light measurement allows building automation systems to adjust lighting and shading according to actual daylight conditions. The Carlo Gavazzi BSH-LUX-U supplies this information directly to the Smart-Dupline system, enabling the measured value to be incorporated into automatic lighting, blind, shutter and energy-management functions.

Because the sensor receives its operating power from the Dupline bus, installation requires fewer connections than a separately powered light sensor. When used with an SH2WEB24 controller, identification is handled through the sensor's Specific Identification Number, helping simplify system configuration and commissioning.

Typical Applications

  • Smart building lighting control systems.
  • Automatic daylight-dependent lighting control.
  • Roller blind and shutter automation.
  • Sunlight and solar shading control.
  • Commercial building automation.
  • Residential Smart-Dupline installations.
  • Energy-saving lighting strategies.
  • Indoor and outdoor ambient-light monitoring.
