Product Information

Full details

The GreenBrook Electrical Orion Microwave Presence Detector (ODM201) is designed for facility managers and homeowners looking to automate lighting systems for maximum energy efficiency. By leveraging 5.8 GHz microwave technology, it reliably detects human occupancy through barriers like glass and thin walls, ensuring lights activate only when needed. While it offers superior sensitivity compared to standard PIR sensors, users should note that its high sensitivity can occasionally lead to false triggering in environments with moving objects, such as fans or proximity to high-traffic exterior windows.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can the Orion detector see through walls?

It can detect movement through thin partitions and glass, but it cannot detect movement through thick concrete or solid brick walls.

Will this work behind a metal ceiling?

No, microwave signals cannot penetrate metal. Installing the device behind a metal fixture will block the signal and prevent detection.

What is the primary benefit of the lux sensor?

The lux sensor prevents the lights from turning on if there is already sufficient natural daylight, further increasing energy savings.

Is this device safe for commercial use?

Yes, it is UKCA and CE certified, meeting the necessary standards for commercial and residential electrical installations.

Can I use this for ventilation systems?

Yes, the device is capable of managing ventilation and heating systems, not just lighting.

Troubleshooting

Lights stay on continuously.

The sensitivity setting may be too high, detecting movement in adjacent rooms or through windows. Reduce the sensitivity setting on the device.

Lights do not turn on when entering the room.

Verify if the lux sensor is blocking activation due to high ambient light levels, or ensure the unit is not shielded by metal obstructions.

Sensor triggers randomly.

Check for moving objects within the detection field, such as air conditioning vents, oscillating fans, or swaying plants.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Detects movement through glass and thin partitions
  • Helps achieve up to 60% energy savings
  • Versatile application for HVAC and lighting control
  • Built-in lux sensor prevents daytime activation
  • Robust UKCA and CE certification

Cons

  • High sensitivity may detect movement outside the intended zone
  • Not suitable for installation behind metal partitions
  • Requires careful initial configuration to avoid false triggers
  • More complex to tune than standard PIR sensors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. To set up the device, mount the sensor in a location central to the detection area, ensuring it is not obstructed by metal surfaces which can reflect or block microwave signals.

  1. Ensure the power is isolated at the mains before beginning installation.
  2. Connect the load (light, fan, or HVAC controller) according to the wiring diagram provided with the device.
  3. Adjust the `time` and `lux` settings using the onboard dials to match the specific needs of the environment.
  4. Perform a walk-test to verify the detection range and sensitivity.

Maintenance is minimal, requiring only occasional dusting of the sensor head to ensure optimal signal transmission. Periodically check the settings if usage patterns in the space change.
