Laser distance sensor DRL-12-9 anthracite, functioning as a motion sensor

Smart lighting with laser distance sensor DRL-12

The DRL-12 sensor is a modern solution for controlling lighting, particularly useful in corridors, stairwells and other places where automatic light switching in the presence of a user is important. It utilizes Time of Flight (ToF) technology – emits a beam of light and measures the time it takes to return after reflection, precisely determining the distance to an obstacle. This allows the sensor to react only when someone is in the defined detection area, ignoring movement outside of it.

Versatile application and precise operation

DRL-12 is not only a motion sensor, but above all a precise tool for controlling lighting. Its main advantage is the ability to smoothly adjust the detection range from 0.1 to 2 meters, allowing for perfect adaptation to specific conditions and needs. The built-in brightness sensor prevents unnecessary lighting during the day, saving energy. Additionally, the function of adjusting the light hold-on time allows you to adapt the sensor's operation to the user's preferences – from short-term backlighting to longer lighting maintenance.

Easy installation and integration with smart home systems

The DRL-12 sensor is designed for simple flush-mounting in a standard 35 mm diameter box. It is compatible with AS-225 cascade controllers, allowing you to expand the system and create spectacular lighting scenes, e.g. on stairs (a "running light" effect). The ability to directly control 12/24 V lighting circuits (up to 4A) eliminates the need for additional intermediate elements. An LED on the front of the device indicates its operating status.

• Precise adjustment of the detection range (0.1 – 2 m).
• Built-in brightness sensor – prevents turning on the light with good lighting.
• Adjustable light hold-on time (0 – 10 minutes).
• Possibility of direct control of 12/24 V lighting circuits (up to 4 A).
• Compatibility with AS-225 controllers for creating cascading effects.
• Mounting in a standard ø35 mm box.
• Soft on/off function (when using dimmable light sources).
• Thermal protection protecting against overheating.
