Product Information
Full details
The Finder 18.31.0.024.0300 is a flush-mount passive infrared motion detector designed for interior use. It's ideal for automating lighting and security systems by detecting movement within its range. A key benefit is its potential-free output contact for integration into existing systems. However, its IP40 rating means it's not suitable for wet or dusty environments.

FAQs
What is the IP rating of this motion detector?
The Finder 18.31.0.024.0300 has an IP40 protection rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm but offers no protection against water.
Can this motion detector be used outdoors?
No, due to its IP40 rating, this motion detector is designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to moisture or dust.
What is the maximum range of the motion detector?
The maximum frontal range is 4 meters, and the maximum sideways range is also 4 meters.
What power supply is required?
The detector is compatible with both 24V DC and 24V AC power sources.
How should the device be mounted for optimal performance?
It is designed for flush ceiling mounting at an optimal height of 2.8 meters.
What does 'potential-free output contact' mean?
This means the output contacts are not connected to any internal voltage source. They act as a switch that can be used to control external circuits or devices.
Troubleshooting
Motion detector not triggering lights/actions
Verify power supply (24V DC or AC) is correctly connected. Check that the wiring to the output contact is secure. Ensure the mounting height is optimal and there are no obstructions. Test by manually activating the sensor if possible, or check ambient temperature differences.
Intermittent or false triggering
Check for heat sources or rapid air currents near the sensor (e.g., vents, direct sunlight) that could be misinterpreted as motion. Ensure the sensor is not exposed to vibrations. Clean the sensor lens.
Device not powering on
Confirm the 24V DC or 24V AC power supply is functioning correctly and within the specified voltage range. Double-check all power connections for security and correct polarity if using DC.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sleek flush-mount design for aesthetic integration.
- Suitable for both DC and AC power systems.
- Potential-free output enhances system compatibility.
- Effective motion detection for automation and security.
Cons
- Limited to IP40 protection rating, unsuitable for harsh environments.
- Relatively short maximum range (4m frontal/sideways).
- Optimal performance relies on correct mounting height (2.8m).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The device is designed for flush mounting in ceilings. Ensure the mounting location is at the optimal height of 2.8m for best performance. Connect the power supply (24V DC or 24V AC) and wire the potential-free output contact according to your system's requirements. Refer to the installation manual for detailed wiring diagrams.
Compatibility: This motion switch is compatible with 24V DC and 24V AC systems. The potential-free output contact ensures it can interface with a wide range of control systems and devices that accept dry contact inputs.
Care: Keep the sensor lens clean from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
