   Instead of detecting heat signatures, a microwave sensor sends out invisible microwaves throughout their detection wave, and measures how long it takes these waves to return to the sensor. This is a process known as Echo Time.

   Microwave sensors are active devices that detect movement using a principle known as the ‘Doppler Effect’. Once installed, microwave sensors continuously emit low-level microwave signals across a designated space or ‘detection area’.

   In lighting applications, microwave sensors are a type of motion detector that switches a light on when the sensor detects movements. These sensors can react within less than 1/5 of a second. And more advanced models can even detect whether a person is moving towards or away from the sensor, or moving randomly.

   Should you consider a motion detection system for outdoor lighting?

   • This limitation should be considered if you are looking at motion detection systems for outdoor lighting. The more extreme temperatures of outdoors can have a significant impact on devices’ effectiveness. On the other hand, microwave sensors may struggle more with smaller indoor spaces.

   Can microwave sensors be used indoors?

   • The more extreme temperatures of outdoors can have a significant impact on devices’ effectiveness. On the other hand, microwave sensors may struggle more with smaller indoor spaces. Because they are able to detect movement through walls, they can be overly sensitive and be triggered by movement you might not want it to be.

   How does a microwave detection zone work?

   • The echo time is used to calculate the distances from all the stationary objects in the detection zone, to establish a baseline to work from. A person moving into the detection zone causes a disruption in the microwave beam, changing the echo time and triggering the lights.

   Is there a difference between a pir and a microwave sensor?

   • There are however solutions to both drawbacks of PIR and microwave sensors. As mentioned above, a standard PIR operates differently at different temperatures, not triggering when it gets hotter but in the colder months triggering for every small, distant, movement.

   Are microwave sensors too sensitive?

   • To combat microwaves sensors’ tendency to be overly sensitive, we have developed a fitting that can be adjusted to suit your personal needs. The Microwave Ceiling Bulkhead has been manufactured so that it can detect movement from any angle from a distance of up to 6m, with a sensitivity which can be adjusted easily with the flick of a switch.

   This means that sensors integrated into light fittings can be protected against dust and moisture intake by design. They are also affected by background temperature, in contrast with PIR sensors which often don't operate well above 35° Celsius. Microwave occupancy detectors have a considerable lifespan of around 100,000 hours.
