Finder motion detectors: automatic management for safety and savings

Light is synonymous with safety, comfort, and energy efficiency. Whether in workspaces, residential areas, homes, or outdoor and indoor environments, having a suitable lighting system can make a big difference in terms of well-being and savings. Finder motion and presence detectors offer advanced and versatile solutions to meet these needs, with a range of 14 models designed to adapt to various settings and requirements.

Finder motion detectors allow lights to turn on automatically and quickly when someone passes by. This eliminates the need for push-buttons to control lighting, especially in common passage areas such as garages and stairways. Moreover, when installed in strategic locations, these devices can act as deterrents against intruders, enhancing space security.

With the philosophy of providing “all the light you need, only when you need it,” Finder engineers have designed these devices to ensure comfort and safety. Thanks to their wide detection beams and lens sensitivity, Finder detectors ensure precise and efficient lighting.

Automation with the KNX standard

The Finder detector series includes variants compatible with the KNX standard, a global benchmark in building automation. This system allows centralized and automated lighting control, integrating with other technologies to maximize efficiency and management. It is ideal for commercial buildings, industries, offices, homes, schools, and public spaces.

Convenience: light when it’s needed

Finder’s philosophy is to provide light only when necessary. The wide detection ranges and high lens sensitivity ensure immediate and accurate response to any movement. This quick reaction capability ensures a comfortable experience for users, particularly in high-traffic areas.

Energy and cost savings

Finder motion and presence detectors significantly contribute to energy savings. By switching on only when movement is detected and switching off after a predefined time, they prevent energy waste in unoccupied spaces. This results in reduced electricity consumption and notable cost savings in schools, offices, garages, and corridors.

Versatility of the Finder Series 18

The Finder Series 18 includes detectors for both indoor and outdoor use, with ceiling- and wall-mounting options. Key features include:

  • Compact size and discreet design.
  • Twilight sensors and adjustable delay time.
  • Models compatible with DALI and KNX interfaces for integration in home automation systems.

In addition, some models can be programmed and adjusted via the Finder Toolbox app, available for iOS and Android, making configuration and customization easier based on space and user needs.

Solutions for every environment

  • Indoor presence detectors: ideal for offices and high-traffic areas. They detect minimal movement and ensure lighting as long as activity is detected.
  • Outdoor motion detectors: designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, suitable for gardens, parking lots, and access areas.
  • Ceiling-mounted detectors: available in surface and recessed versions, with wide coverage and adaptable to high ceilings.
  • Wall-mounted detectors: adjustable and pivoting versions for optimal detection in specific zones.

18.4K motion detector

The 18.4K motion detector, powered via KNX BUS, is a versatile solution for corridors and common areas. It features two separate and independent detection zones, covering up to 30 meters in length and 4 meters in width, detecting motion on both sides. Its independently adjustable sensitivity for each area makes it a flexible and precise choice.

Key features include dynamic light regulation and an integrated brightness sensor, which automatically adjust lighting levels based on ambient conditions. With up to five outputs for controlling lighting, HVAC, and other systems, plus the ability to report motion and light levels, the 18.4K is an effective tool for both energy savings and security.

Advantages for installers and users

Installers benefit from a practical and efficient solution, thanks to the PUSH-IN connection and quick configuration via the app. Users enjoy a reliable, efficient, and aesthetically integrated lighting system, designed and manufactured in Italy to high-quality standards.

Finder’s range of motion and presence detectors not only enhances security and comfort, but also meets today’s demands for energy efficiency and smart automation. With models tailored to every need, Finder offers the perfect solution for optimal and sustainable light management.
