The Zhaga MW Motion Sensor is a sophisticated microwave-based motion detection device designed to optimize lighting operations and enhance security protocols across modern smart lighting systems. By transmitting real-time motion data directly to LED drivers or monitoring stations, it enables precise adjustments to lighting based on activity, improving both operational efficiency and situational awareness. The sensor’s detection range can be remotely adjusted, allowing for customizable sensitivity levels tailored to different environments and applications.
As part of the Zhaga D4i ecosystem, the MW Motion Sensor offers seamless integration with a wide range of smart lighting technologies. It employs the DALI 2.0 protocol to communicate efficiently with luminaires and monitoring stations, ensuring reliable system-wide coordination. The sensor can also transmit data to the QULON server, providing centralized control and monitoring capabilities. Remote software updates are supported, allowing the sensor to maintain up-to-date functionality and performance enhancements throughout its lifecycle.
Mechanically, the sensor is housed in a compact, ultra-durable IP66-rated enclosure constructed from high-quality plastic. This robust design ensures resistance to dust and water ingress, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The sensor measures 49 mm in depth and 47.5 mm in height (41.8 mm for certain mounting profiles) and weighs just 0.1 kg, allowing unobtrusive installation. It can be mounted on either a QULON Eco base station or directly onto luminaires equipped with a Zhaga connector, providing flexible deployment options.
Electrically, the MW Motion Sensor operates on a 12–30 V DC power supply, consuming a maximum of 3 W. It is rated for extreme environmental conditions, with an operating temperature range of -40 to +70°C, storage tolerance from -50 to +80°C, and full functionality at up to 100% relative humidity. The sensor supports “hot” replacement via its Zhaga plug connector, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted operation. Certified to CE and RoHS standards and backed by a 36-month warranty, the sensor meets international safety and quality standards.
Overall, the Zhaga MW Motion Sensor combines compact design, durable construction, microwave motion sensing technology, and seamless system integration to enhance the intelligence and responsiveness of modern lighting systems. Its flexible installation options, remote configuration capabilities via QULON software, and real-time motion detection make it a reliable and versatile solution for both security-focused and energy-conscious lighting applications.
