Why Choose the Finder 18.31.8.230.0031 PIR Movement Detector?

The Finder 18.31.8.230.0031 is a versatile passive infrared (PIR) movement and presence detector designed for automatic lighting control in commercial, industrial and building automation applications. Part of the Finder 18 Series, it combines motion detection with an integrated light-dependent sensor to switch lighting only when required.

Designed for recessed ceiling installation, the 18.31 can operate as a movement detector at mounting heights up to approximately 6 m and provides an extended detection range of up to 8 m. Its adjustable sensitivity enables the detector to be configured for different environments, making it suitable for offices, corridors, communal areas and other spaces where automatic lighting can improve convenience and energy efficiency.

With a 120–230 V AC supply, 10 A single-pole normally open output and adjustable switch-off delay from 30 s to 35 min, the Finder 18.31.8.230.0031 provides flexible automatic control for mains-powered lighting systems.

Key Advantages

  • PIR movement and presence detection for automatic lighting control.
  • 120–230 V AC supply range supports common mains installations.
  • 10 A SPST-NO output for dependable load switching.
  • Adjustable 30 s to 35 min switch-off delay for application-specific control.
  • Detection range of up to 8 m for effective room coverage.
  • Adjustable sensitivity and light-dependent operation help reduce unnecessary lighting use.

  • Passive infrared sensing technology.
  • 120–230 V AC supply voltage.
  • 1 pole normally open contact.
  • 10 A maximum switched current.
  • 2,300 VA switching capacity.
  • 30 s to 35 min adjustable time delay.
  • Up to 8 m detection range.
  • Adjustable detection sensitivity.
  • Integrated light-dependent sensor for brightness-responsive operation.
  • Recessed ceiling mounting for a discreet installation.
  • IP40 protection rating.

Reliable PIR Control for Automatic Lighting Systems

PIR movement detectors monitor changes in infrared radiation caused by people moving within their detection area. The Finder 18.31.8.230.0031 uses this technology to control connected lighting automatically, helping ensure lights operate when an area is occupied while reducing unnecessary energy consumption when spaces are vacant.

The adjustable time delay, sensitivity and light-dependent operation allow the detector to be tailored to the installation. Its recessed ceiling design and ability to operate at elevated mounting heights make it particularly useful for commercial buildings, offices, corridors and other indoor spaces requiring discreet automatic lighting control.

Typical Applications

  • Office and commercial building lighting.
  • Corridors and communal passageways.
  • Hotels and hospitality facilities.
  • Industrial and commercial premises.
  • Reception areas and meeting rooms.
  • Energy-efficient automatic lighting systems.
