Microwave Motion Sensor – High-Precision Detection for Automatic Lighting Control
The Microwave Motion Sensor is a high-performance, energy-saving automation device designed for modern homes, offices, commercial spaces, and industrial environments. Leveraging advanced Microwave Detector technology (5.8GHz HF system), this sensor ensures accurate and reliable motion detection even through doors, thin walls, and glass panels — offering advantages far beyond a traditional Pir Sensor.
Built with an integrated circuit, the device combines convenience, safety, automation, and energy efficiency. It automatically distinguishes between day and night, adjusting its operation according to ambient light conditions. Thanks to its highly sensitive microwave technology, it is one of the most effective Motion Sensors available today.
1L-PS13 – Ceiling Mount Microwave Sensor 360°
Specifications:-
- Operating Volt: 220-240VAC/50Hz,

- Load Type: Bulb, LED light, CFL, Fans, etc.,
- Detecting Dist.: 1~8m (radius) adjustable,
- Detecting Angle: 360 Deg.,
- Installation Height: 1.5-3.5 mtr.
- Motion Detection Speed: 0.6~1.5m/s,
- Power Consumption: 0.1W (static) & 0.9(Work),
- Working Humidity: less than 93 % RH,
- Delay: 10 Seconds – 12 Minutes (Adjustable)
- HF System: 5.8GHz CW radar, ISM band
Function:
- Can identify day and night: It can work in the daytime and at night when it is adjusted on the “sun” position (max). It can work in the ambient light less than 3LUX when it is adjusted on the “3” position (min). As for the adjustment pattern, please refer to the testing pattern.
- SENS adjustable: It can be adjusted according to using location; low sensitivity with only 1m (radius) for detection distance; High sensitivity could up to 10m (radius), it fits for large room
- Time-Delay is added continually: When it receives the second induction signal after the first induction, it will compute time once more on the basic of the first time-delay rest.
- Time-Delay is adjustable. It can be set according to the consumer’s desire. The minimum time is 10sec±3sec. The maximum is 15min±2min
- NOTE: the high-frequency output of this sensor is <10Mw- that is just one 100th of the transmission power of a mobile phone or the output of a microwave oven.
Installation:
- Switch off the power.
- Fix the bottom on the selected position with the inflated screw through the screw holes at the side of the sensor.
- Connecting the power and the load to sensor as per the connection-wire sketch diagram.
- Switch on the power and test it
Connection illumination
- Connect A, N with load
- Connect N, L with power;
Test
- Turn the LUX knob clockwise on the maximum. Turn the TIME knob anti-clockwise on the minimum, Turn the SENS knob clockwise on the maximum
- When you switch on the power, the light will be on at once, and 5-30 seconds later will be off automatically. Then if the light receives induction signal, it can work normally.
- After 5-10sec of the first detection, the light could work again. If there is no induction signal, the load should be stopped working within 5-15sec
- Note: when testing in daylight, please turn LUX knob to (SUN) position, otherwise the sensor lamp could not work!
Notes
- Electrician or experienced human can install it
- The unrest objects can’t be regarded as the installation basis-face
- In front of the .detection window there shouldn’t be hinder or unrest objects affecting detection.
- Avoid installing it near air temperature alteration zones for example: air condition, central heating, etc
- For your safety. Please don’t open the case if you find hitch after installation.
- In order to avoid the unexpected damage of product, please add a safe device of 6A when installing Microwave sensor, for example, fuse, safe tube etc.
Some Problem And Solved Way
The load don’t work:
- Check the power and the load
- Whether the indicator light is turned on after sensing? If yes, please check load.
- If the indicator light does not turn on after sensing, please check if the working light corresponds to the ambient light.
- Please check if the working voltage corresponds to the power source
The sensitivity is poor:
- Please check if in front of the detection window there is hinder that has effect on receiving the signals.
- Please check the ambient temperature.
- Please check if the signals source is in the detection fields.
- Please check the installation height.
The sensor can’t shut automatically the load
- If there are continual signals in the detection fields.
- If the time delay is set to the longest.
- If the power corresponds to the instruction.
- If the air temperature changes near the sensor, air condition or central heating etc.
