theben thePrema S360 KNX UP WH Presence Detector (2079500)

Description

Introduction

The theben thePrema S360 KNX UP WH (SKU: 2079500) is a high-performance passive infrared (PIR) presence detector designed for flush-mounted ceiling installation in KNX building automation systems. Engineered for precision and reliable occupancy detection, this unit features a square 360° detection area covering up to 49 m² (7 x 7 m) at a standard mounting height of 3 meters. It incorporates mixed light measurement to evaluate ambient lighting conditions accurately, ensuring optimal control over connected HVAC and lighting systems. This device is part of our professional KNX Sensors range.

Equipped with 2 light channels and 2 presence channels, the device integrates directly into the KNX bus topology via a standard KNX bus terminal. Operating on a maximum bus voltage of 30 V DC, the detector is suitable for controlling multiple lamp loads including LEDs, incandescent/halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps, and energy-saving lamps. Its sustainable design is supported by environmental footprint declarations, making it an ideal candidate for modern commercial and residential automation projects.
