Motion detectors used to be installed for exterior home illumination primarily for security. In recent years, motion detectors have also been used inside buildings for occupancy detection. When used in this application they are known as occupancy detectors saving energy and offering more convenience.

Physically motion and occupancy detectors work on the same principle (infrared technology) in that they detect moving heat sources. They differ only in the technical parameters used.

Motion detectors switch the light depending on movements and the ambient light. Occupancy detectors regulate the artificial light in such a way that there is always a constant lux value in the room.

B.E.G. LUXOMAT® detectors have been developed to meet a variety of requirements. The PD2 for standard applications, the PD9 for discreet installation, the PD4 for increased range and many more. B.E.G. provides the best detector for every situation and can provide you with support in choosing the right one.
