SensorWorx SWX-401-B Wireless PIR Occupancy Sensor, Wide View, Battery Powered

Product Overview

The SensorWorx SWX-401-B is a wireless, battery-powered PIR occupancy sensor designed for commercial lighting control systems. It uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect occupancy and wirelessly signal connected load controllers to manage lighting based on room activity.

Key Features & Design

• Functionality: Detects occupancy using passive infrared (PIR) sensing and wirelessly signals connected load controllers to turn lighting on or off based on room activity.
• Installation context: Wireless, battery-powered sensor designed for placement in spaces without hard-wired connections.
• Notable specifications: This sensor uses PIR motion detection with a wide-view 120° coverage pattern, operates as a battery-powered wireless device using a CR123(A) lithium battery, and communicates with compatible controllers to provide occupancy-based lighting control.
• Contractor-relevant details: The wireless, battery-powered design enables flexible placement and simplified deployment, reducing wiring complexity and enabling energy-saving lighting control across multiple areas.

Performance / Benefits

In real-world use, the SWX-401-B delivers practical energy savings by ensuring lights illuminate only when occupancy is detected, preventing unnecessary illumination in corridors, stairwells, and other frequently trafficked spaces. Its wide detection coverage helps minimize missed activations, while wireless operation supports quick installations and scalable coverage without the need for extensive wiring, making it a compelling upgrade for improved energy efficiency and user convenience.
