Product Information

Full details

The BEG Motion Detector RC Plus Next 230 is designed for users who need reliable and advanced motion detection for their properties. Its key benefit is comprehensive coverage with a 230° range and anti-creep protection, ensuring no blind spots. A potential caveat is its lack of smart home integration (not compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, or Amazon Alexa). This detector offers mechanical range adjustment, variable follow-up times, and parallel connection capabilities, making it a robust solution for continuous detection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum coverage area of this motion detector?

The detector offers a horizontal detection angle of up to 230°. The maximum range in front is 6 meters, and to the side is 20 meters. The detection field diameter on the floor is up to 36 meters.

Can I adjust how long the lights stay on?

Yes, the detector features variable follow-up times, allowing you to set the duration the lights remain on after motion is detected. The minimum switch-on time is 15 seconds, and the maximum duty cycle is 16 minutes.

Is this motion detector suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the detector has an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and splashing water, making it suitable for outdoor installations.

Can I connect multiple detectors together?

Yes, the detector supports parallel connection capability, allowing for continuous detection across larger areas when multiple units are linked.

Does this detector work with smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home?

No, this model is not compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, or Amazon Alexa, nor does it support IFTTT.

What is the maximum load this detector can switch?

The maximum switching power is 3000W for general loads and 300W for LED lighting.

How do I adjust the detection range?

The range can be adjusted mechanically using a physical control on the unit, and the sensor head can be pivoted horizontally (-45° to +45°) and vertically (-20° to +20°) for precise aiming.

Troubleshooting

Detector not turning on lights

Verify power supply to the detector and the connected lights. Check that the ambient light level is below the set response brightness. Ensure the detector is receiving motion signals within its range and angle.

Lights stay on continuously

Check the 'Max. duty cycle' setting, ensuring it is not set to the maximum continuous ON time. Verify that motion is still being detected or if there is a constant stimulus within the detection field. Test the 'Variable follow-up time' settings.

False activations (lights turning on unexpectedly)

Reduce the detection sensitivity or range if possible. Adjust the sensor head to avoid pointing at heat sources, moving objects (like trees), or direct sunlight. Ensure anti-creep protection is enabled and effective.

Intermittent operation

Check for stable power supply. Ensure connections are secure. Verify that the temperature is within the operating range (-25 to 50 °C). Clean the sensor lens.

Remote control not working

Ensure the remote control battery is charged or replaced. Check that the remote is within range of the detector and that the detector has remote control functionality enabled. Refer to the remote control's manual for pairing instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide 230° detection angle covers a large area.
  • Anti-creep protection minimizes false alarms.
  • Adjustable settings for follow-up time and detection range.
  • Parallel connection supports extended coverage needs.
  • Durable plastic construction with IP54 rating for outdoor use.

Cons

  • Not compatible with major smart home ecosystems (Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit).
  • No built-in support for IFTTT.
  • Maximum range of 6m in front might be limiting for very large open spaces.
  • Zero-crossing switching is not suitable for C-load applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the detector securely using the provided hardware, considering wall, ceiling, or corner placement.
  2. Adjust the sensor head's horizontal (-45° to +45°) and vertical (-20° to +20°) pivots to aim the detection zone.
  3. Mechanically adjust the range setting to fine-tune the detection distance.
  4. Connect the detector to the power supply (Nominal voltage: 240 V) and the lighting circuit, respecting the maximum switching power of 3000W.
  5. Configure desired settings such as response brightness (2-2000 lx), minimum switch-on time (15s), and maximum duty cycle (16 min).
  6. If using the remote control, follow its specific pairing and operation instructions.

Compatibility:

  • The detector operates on a 240V system and is designed to switch loads up to 3000W (300W for LED).
  • It is not compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or IFTTT.
  • Suitable for most standard electrical installations, but not for C-load applications.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the detector periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ensure the sensor lens remains free of dirt, dust, or cobwebs for optimal performance.
  • Check for any obstructions within the detection range and clear them as needed.
