The detector has a powerful relay for switching large lamp powers and is so reliable that even the smallest movements are detected. The motion detector has a 360° detection range and up to 10m transverse, 6m frontal and 4m seated. It is possible to connect multiple detectors in parallel. The motion detector works optimally at 2.5m height (minimum 2m and maximum 5m). You can set the motion detector to your personal preference. Special optical system for detection of even smallest movements. Examples of use: monitoring small areas such as hallways, garages, Vorräume, toilets.
The BEG LUXOMAT Motion Switch (AVB1972) is designed for automated lighting control in small to medium-sized areas, ideal for homeowners and facility managers seeking efficient and reliable motion-activated illumination. Its key benefit is the detection of even the smallest movements, ensuring lights activate precisely when needed. A potential caveat is that optimal performance is dependent on correct mounting height.

FAQs
What is the optimal mounting height for this motion detector?
The motion detector works optimally at a height of 2.5 meters. It can be installed between a minimum of 2 meters and a maximum of 5 meters.
Can I connect multiple motion detectors together?
Yes, it is possible to connect multiple detectors in parallel to extend the detection area.
What types of lights can this detector switch?
The detector has a powerful relay capable of switching large lamp powers, making it suitable for various lighting types within its power rating.
What is the detection range of the AVB1972?
The detector has a 360° detection range, with up to 10m transversely, 6m frontally, and 4m when seated.
Does this detector work in small areas?
Yes, it is ideal for monitoring small areas such as hallways, garages, entrance areas (Vorräume), and toilets due to its sensitivity and specific detection patterns.
How sensitive is the motion detection?
It features a special optical system designed for the detection of even the smallest movements, ensuring high responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on when motion is detected.
Ensure the detector is properly wired and receiving power. Check that the lighting circuit is functional and the lamp is not burnt out. Verify that the ambient light setting (if adjustable) is not preventing activation during daylight hours.
Light stays on continuously.
Check for sources of constant motion or heat within the detection range. Adjust the sensitivity or time delay settings to a shorter duration. Ensure no obstacles are blocking the sensor's view.
Intermittent activation/deactivation.
Confirm the detector is mounted at the optimal height (around 2.5m). Minimize sources of false triggers such as drafts, vibrating surfaces, or direct sunlight if possible. Ensure stable power supply.
Detection range is too short or too wide.
Adjust the sensitivity settings. Ensure the detector is mounted at the recommended height. For wider coverage, consider installing an additional detector in parallel.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Reliable detection of subtle movements.
Handles high lamp power loads.
Flexible installation with parallel connection option.
Customizable settings for user preference.
Wide detection range for comprehensive coverage.
Cons
Optimal performance relies on correct mounting height (2.5m recommended).
Detection range decreases significantly at heights outside the optimal range.
Primarily designed for indoor use in specific areas like hallways and garages.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Mounting: Install the motion detector at the recommended height of 2.5 meters. Ensure the mounting surface is stable.
Wiring: Connect the detector according to the wiring diagram provided in the product manual. Pay close attention to the relay connections for the lighting circuit.
Configuration: Adjust the sensitivity, time delay, and lux settings (if applicable) to suit your specific needs and ambient light conditions.
Compatibility:
The AVB1972 is designed to switch lighting circuits. Verify that your lighting system's power requirements do not exceed the relay's capacity.
Multiple detectors can be wired in parallel for expanded coverage.
Care:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the sensor lens with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic or affect sensor performance.
Environment: This detector is intended for indoor use. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
