Advanced 24GHz Radar Technology
Unlike traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors that only detect movement, the MSA201-Z uses millimeter-wave radar to detect even the smallest human movements and stationary presence. This makes it ideal for applications where people may be sitting still, such as offices, bedrooms, and home theatres. The high-gain wide-range beam orthogonal half-wave antenna ensures reliable detection up to 5 metres for motion and 3 to 4 metres for static presence at standard mounting heights.
Smart Automation Made Simple
The MSA201-Z transforms your space with intelligent presence-based automation. Automatically control lighting, HVAC, and other devices based on room occupancy and ambient light levels. Perfect for energy-saving applications in smart homes, hotel rooms, conference rooms, and offices. The device operates on standard 100 to 240VAC power, eliminating the need for battery changes.
Easy Installation & Integration
Designed for flush or recess mounting in ceilings, the MSA201-Z installs quickly and pairs seamlessly with ZigBee 3.0 gateways and hubs. Its globally compatible 24GHz ISM-band frequency (24 to 24.25GHz) ensures worldwide operation without regulatory concerns. The compact design integrates discreetly into any interior.
