"The sensors from STEINEL work perfectly. Light is only ever switched on when it's actually needed. The rest of the time it stays off. That gives us a good feeling."

In the ulltramodern Energy-Plus building of the new grammar school in Clisson/France intelligent lighting control from STEINEL ensures efficient lighting. As innovation and technology leader in intelligent lighting control, STEINEL offers the right sensor for any application. Careful planning in conjunction with the project department at STEINEL France produced a perfect result that everyone agreed on. Presence detectors were chosen for detecting even the smallest of movements in the classrooms, large hall facilities, conference rooms and WCs. Smaller rooms, in contrast, were equipped with motion detectors.

Constant-lighting control means that the sensor makes sure there is only ever as much light in the room as the light-level setting prescribes. No artificial light is turned on if daylight is sufficient. If the level of light falls below the setting, the sensor automatically activates artificial lighting on detecting movement.
Only as much artificial light is added that is necessary to reach the light level required – and no more.
The square detection zone is a key characteristic feature of the IR Quattro range from STEINEL. Conventional detectors have a circular detection footprint. This can result in blind spots. With their square lens, IR Quattro presence detectors cover rooms without overlapping and without gaps. The patented mechanical adjustability of reach without any loss of quality is unparalleled.
Invented by STEINEL, high-frequency technology is also capable of detecting movements behind thin walls made of wood or plasterboard. This is why the HF-360 sensors have been installed in the school's WC facilities. Although the sensor is located in the washroom, it is also in a position to identify persons in any of the WC cubicles.
