The ARANI Bi-Level Microwave Sensor leverages advanced microwave detection technology, which offers significant advantages over traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. Microwave sensing can detect motion through lightweight barriers and covers a wider, more consistent detection area, reducing false triggers and blind spots. This makes it an excellent choice for spaces with shelving, partitions, or irregular layouts where conventional occupancy sensors may fall short.
At the heart of this sensor's performance is its 0-10V dimming signal output, which interfaces directly with compatible LED drivers to provide smooth, continuous dimming between a user-defined low level and full output. This bi-level control strategy ensures that lights remain at a reduced baseline when spaces are vacant, then ramp up instantly upon occupancy detection. The result is a dramatic reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional always-on lighting systems — often cutting electricity use by a significant percentage without sacrificing safety or visibility.
Durability and reliability are built into every aspect of this sensor's design. Its IP65 ingress protection rating means the unit is completely sealed against dust infiltration and protected from low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for wet and damp locations including parking structures, covered walkways, and industrial wash-down areas. The sensor operates on standard 120V input power, simplifying integration into existing Canadian electrical systems without the need for additional transformers or adapters.
This product is certified to Canadian electrical standards including cUL listing, ensuring it meets rigorous safety and performance requirements for installation across Canada. Whether paired with high bay industrial fixtures, garage ceiling lights, stairwell luminaires, or canopy lighting, the ARANI Bi-Level Microwave Sensor delivers intelligent, code-compliant lighting control that supports modern energy efficiency goals while providing reliable, maintenance-free operation for years to come.
