Learn more about motion detectors: Technology and detection area
Whether for your private home or in a commercial functional building - Theben offers the optimum motion detector for any application. With or without LED spotlight. Simple to install and easy to operate. Each of these motion detectors contributes to saving energy as well as increasing comfort and safety. Which motion detector is best suited for your application, you can find on the following pages.
Technology and detection area: How does a motion detector work?Motion detectors work by using passive infrared sensors (short "PIR") and react to thermal radiation in the immediate surrounding. Static heat differences are not detected. The infrared sensors of the motion detectors react to thermal radiation that changes quickly, such as people ascending stairs or cars approaching a house. If a motion detector detects this thermal radiation in its detection area, it converts it into a measurable electrical signal: The light is switched on. Function of motion detectors |
Functions of motion detectors and their practical advantagesTheben motion detectors essentially contribute to saving energy as well as increasing comfort and safety. The light is automatically switched on only when needed, and only then. theLuxa motion detectors integrate harmonically into the facade and are available in white and in black.

Planning and installation: Correct installation of motion detectors
During the installation of a motion detector, a few things have to be considered. The different types of installation depend on the respective accessories. For instance, by using an additional corner angle, theLuxa can be perfectly installed on the corner of a house. In this way, the motion detector can cover two facades simultaneously. We show you how you can install your motion detector yourself, simply and without any prior |
Programming: Correct setting of motion detectorsMore space, easy handling, a clever concept – there are many reasons for Theben motion detectors to be installed and started up easier and faster. The best reasons you can find here. Correct setting of motion detectors |
