Product Overview

The Wall Mounted Presence/Absence Detector range provides 

flexible occupancy-based switching for lighting, heating, air 

conditioning and ventilation equipment. The built-in PIR (passive 

infra-red) sensor detects motion of body heat, providing 

convenient activation of the connected load whilst saving energy 

by switching it off automatically when the space becomes 

unoccupied (after an adjustable period). An adjustable ambient 

light threshold optionally inhibits initial activation when the area is 

adequately lit, reducing wasteful use of lighting..
• 

The 

WMPD3 Presence Detector

 offers fully-automatic 

operation, switching on the load upon detection of motion, and 

switching off when the area has been unoccupied for the set 

period.

• 

The 

WMPAD3 Presence/Absence Detector

 includes a 

touch-sensitive override button and offers the flexibility of 

two operating modes to suit either manual or automatic initial 

activation.

• 

The 

WMPAD3-L

 provides an illuminated button to aid location 

of the unit in the dark (when used in 

Absence Mode

). The LED 

also acts to facilitate accurate setup of the light sensor function.

The units are simple to install and fit a standard single-gang UK 

pattress or back box (22mm min. depth). Ideal applications include 

small booths or rooms, workshops, entrance halls, staircases, 

toilets, store cupboards, hired sports courts and rooms plus many 

more.
