Revolutionary infrared sensor technology – The MD IR D180 was developed as the first purely digitally adjustable infrared sensor. Commissioning, setting up and wireless networking are easy to do via smartphone using the STEINEL Connect app and Bluetooth. In addition, the sensor is visually unobtrusive in a design-oriented housing.

Next level infrared sensor technology

By combining five pyroelectric sensors and an innovative mirror technology, we have succeeded in significantly improving the tangential detection range. The direction of movement is irrelevant for the detection quality within a radius of up to 8 m. Compared to conventional infrared motion detectors, the MD IR D180 thus offers significantly better detection.

Conventional infrared technology

At present, the range of a sensor depends on the direction of motion to the sensor. Therefore, the radial detection of conventional PIR sensors is significantly lower than the tangential detection.

The new sensor technology

With the help of five pyro sensors and a newly developed mirror technology, the 180-degree sensor detects tangential and radial movements almost equally well.

Digital installation, adjustment and networking

The previously very time-consuming process of defining the sensor area is now much quicker and easier to do, purely digitally and zone by zone, thanks to the STEINEL Connect app and Bluetooth Mesh Standard. The sensor sensitivity can also be digitally adjusted for each of the nine zones. Defining the sensor area with covers or adjusting it using a potentiometer is a thing of the past.

Can be networked across series

Thanks to the integration of Bluetooth Mesh and the STEINEL Connect app, more than 100 STEINEL products can now be wirelessly networked with each other. This is how we are creating new possibilities for networking and controlling lights and sensors – both inside and outside. For more flexibility, comfort and energy efficiency.

STEINEL Connect App

The STEINEL Connect app makes it easy to enter specific values such as range or background light and create networks, groups and neighbour groups. This eliminates the need for controls on the product itself. All settings can be seen at a glance.
