Product Information
Full details
The EGB Luxomat Motion Switch (PD4-S-DE) is a slave motion detector designed for large, open spaces where reliable motion detection is crucial. Its primary benefit is its high detection range and ability to send an immediate on-off pulse to a master detector, ensuring continuous monitoring. A minor caveat is that it functions solely as a slave unit, requiring a master detector to operate.

FAQs
What is a 'slave detector'?
A slave detector, like the PD4-S-DE, relies on a 'master detector' to function. It detects motion and sends a signal (an on-off pulse in this case) to the master unit, which then takes the appropriate action, such as turning on lights.
Can this detector work on its own?
No, the PD4-S-DE is specifically designed as a slave unit and requires a compatible master detector to operate and control lighting or other connected systems.
How far can this detector sense motion?
The detector has a transmission range of 8 meters.
Does the light level affect its operation?
No, this detector sends a pulse whenever motion is detected, regardless of the ambient light value.
What is the pulse time adjustment for?
The pulse time adjustment (2 or 9 seconds) controls how long the on-off pulse signal is maintained before resetting. This can be important for the proper functioning of the connected master detector.
What kind of areas is this detector best suited for?
It is ideal for large, open spaces such as garages, sports halls, storage rooms, and large corridors where a wide detection range is necessary.
Troubleshooting
No pulse detected by the master unit
Verify that the PD4-S-DE is correctly wired to the master detector. Ensure the master detector is powered on and functioning. Check that the motion is within the 8m detection range and 360° scan angle.
False triggers
While designed for high sensitivity, ensure the detector is not positioned near sources of rapid temperature change or high airflow that could be misinterpreted as motion.
Inconsistent detection
Ensure the sensor lens is clean and free from obstructions. Verify that the motion being detected is significant enough for the sensor (e.g., small gestures might be missed at the edge of the range).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent coverage for large spaces like garages and sports halls.
- Reliable detection of even minor movements.
- Independent of ambient light conditions for consistent performance.
- Simple integration with master detectors via on-off pulse.
- Adjustable pulse timing offers flexibility.
Cons
- Requires a separate master detector to function.
- Not suitable for standalone lighting control.
- Limited to specific applications requiring slave functionality.
- Pulse time adjustment is limited to two fixed settings.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This device is a slave detector and must be connected to a compatible master detector. Refer to the master detector's manual for specific wiring and setup instructions. Ensure the PD4-S-DE is positioned to optimize its 360° scan angle and 8m transmission range.
Compatibility:
Designed to work with EGB LUXOMAT master detectors that accept an on-off pulse signal. Ensure your master unit is compatible before installation.
Care:
Keep the sensor lens clean to ensure optimal performance. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the sensor. Ensure the unit is powered off before cleaning.
