B.E.G.’s new energy-efficient ‘plug and play’ PIR occupancy sensor has been developed specifically for slatted ceilings in buildings.
The German manufacturer introduced the new PD5 Lamella device at Light & Building, the world’s leading trade fair for lighting and building, held in Frankfurt in March.
The PD5 Lamella is certified DALI-2 and combines the advantages of PIR sensor technology with intelligent design as this is the first B.E.G. detector to have a rectangular flat lens.
The device is pre-wired and can be plugged in and ‘clicked’ into place directly and is also suitable for installation in DALI-2 luminaires and in a strip luminaire, as well as louvred ceilings or slatted ceilings.
This is the first device from the B.E.G. Building Management System (BMS) Generation Two range to be updated to ensure its output uses even less power consumption than before. The software has also been given a ‘facelift’ with five new instances for convenient room operation via B.E.G. Mini IR remote control.
New features also include setting options for the resolution of the light sensor from 12 bit to 10 bit which enable it to achieve improved light control results in unfavourable room conditions. The setting is made via the generically accessible memory bank.
The reflection factor of PD5 Lamella can also be set to values between 0.1 and 1.0 – this simplifies the use of higher-level visualisations as the lux value transmitted by the sensor no longer needs to be converted.
Paul Jones, sales director UK & Ireland at B.E.G, said: “The B.E.G. PD5N-Lamella is a sensor with a flat, angular shape which makes it perfect for design objects and cosy rooms. It is also convenient for electrical installers because it is simple to install, and commission, and is highly adaptable with promised efficiency and maximum comfort for users.
“The sensor is ideal for optimum lighting conditions for working, atmospheric lighting scenes, presence-dependent blind and lighting control and has an attractive design making it ultra-convenient for organisation.
“Once integrated into louvred ceilings or luminaires, the rectangular, flat sensor is barely noticeable. Visually, office workplaces are becoming increasingly similar to home-like living spaces and the PD5M-Lamella helps to achieve this outcome.”
