Motion sensor Steinel SensIQ SW EVO black IP54 180° detection

Steinel SensIQ SW EVO black IP54 180° detection is a compact motion sensor designed to detect presence within a 180° field of view and withstand dust and water spray in sheltered outdoor and indoor environments. The sensor is intended to control lighting and security systems by switching lights on and off automatically according to detected movement. Its black housing suits modern interiors and exterior fittings while the IP54 rating ensures basic protection against dust ingress and splashing water.

Advantages

The SensIQ SW EVO provides reliable detection across a wide 180° angle, enabling consistent coverage of corridors, entrances and stairwells without the need for complex mounting positions. The IP54 protection class allows safe use in sheltered outdoor locations and moist indoor areas. The unit’s compact design and neutral black finish make it easy to integrate into existing lighting setups. Energy efficiency is enhanced through automated switching, and the sensor reduces unnecessary light operation by responding only to movement.

Suitable for

• Corridors and hallways in residential and commercial buildings
• Entrances, porches and sheltered exterior areas
• Stairwells and landings
• Utility rooms, storage areas and technical spaces

Key specifications

• Detection angle: 180°
• Protection class: IP54 (splash and dust resistant)
• Color/finish: black housing
• Intended mounting: wall or ceiling in sheltered locations
• Application: presence/motion detection for automatic lighting control

How to use

Mount the sensor at the recommended height and orientation to achieve the required 180° coverage. Connect the device to the lighting circuit following applicable electrical safety regulations and local codes. Adjust sensitivity and time settings if available on the unit to match the activity patterns of the installation area. Test the detection zone after installation to confirm that typical movement reliably activates the connected lights and that the unit does not react to irrelevant stimuli.

Recommendations

Place the sensor where its 180° detection pattern covers primary walking lines and avoid positioning it opposite heat sources or in direct sunlight. For outdoor installations, choose sheltered locations to maintain IP54 protection effectiveness. Periodically check and clean the sensor’s cover to preserve detection performance.
