Finder has extended its Series 18 with two new motion and presence detectors designed for automated lighting applications in residential and commercial environments. The 18.71 and 18.81 models aim to improve detection accuracy while optimizing energy consumption through adaptive functionality.
Two variants for indoor and outdoor use
The 18.71 model is a wall-mounted, adjustable motion detector for indoor use. It features a normally open (NO) 10 A contact and automatic timing. The device is available in white and black versions.
The 18.81 model is designed for outdoor applications, with an IP55 rating suitable for exposed environments. It also includes a 10 A NO contact and an adjustable time delay, allowing adaptation to different operating conditions. It is available in white and black.
Precise detection and discreet integration
Both detectors feature a compact, minimal design that allows integration into a wide range of architectural environments. The adjustable head enables precise alignment of the detection area, improving reliability across different installation scenarios.
This flexibility supports effective coverage of passageways, entrances, and technical areas while reducing unwanted activations.
Adaptive algorithm for energy optimization
The devices incorporate a self-learning timing algorithm. Unlike conventional systems based on fixed settings, this function analyzes usage patterns and automatically adjusts the lighting duration.
The system dynamically increases or decreases the delay time based on observed behavior, helping to reduce energy consumption while maintaining user comfort, without requiring initial configuration.
Simplified installation and commissioning
Both models are designed for ease of installation, featuring simplified wiring that reduces installation time and minimizes setup complexity. This is particularly relevant for projects requiring fast deployment.
With the introduction of the 18.71 and 18.81 models, Finder enhances its Series 18 with detection solutions that combine precision, energy efficiency, and ease of integration into automated lighting systems.
