VMBPIROB datasheet

Outdoor motion, twilight and temperature sensor - black

The VMBPIRO is much more than an outdoor motion detector. This adapted Theben sensor allows you to simultaneously use motion and light sensitivity as well as temperature measurement. The built-in astronomical clock allows the VMBPIRO to operate time-dependently. The module also simultaneously detects motion for a passage signal or light dependent movement for lighting control.
