The ARANI Bi-Level PIR Sensor uses advanced passive infrared (PIR) detection technology to accurately sense occupancy within its coverage area. Unlike basic on/off sensors, this unit supports 0-10V dimming protocol, enabling it to communicate with compatible LED drivers to create a true bi-level lighting response — stepping down to a configurable low-light level during vacancy and returning to full output upon detection. This intelligent approach to lighting control significantly reduces wasted energy in spaces with intermittent occupancy.
Engineered for demanding environments, this sensor carries a robust IP65 ingress protection rating, meaning it is fully sealed against dust intrusion and protected from low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for installation in wet and damp locations including parking structures, stairwells, mechanical rooms, and exterior covered areas. The housing is built to withstand temperature fluctuations and harsh conditions commonly encountered in Canadian climates throughout the year.
From a certification and compliance standpoint, the sensor is cUL listed and approved for use in Canadian electrical installations, ensuring it meets the rigorous safety and performance standards required across all provinces and territories. The 347V input voltage is specifically designed for compatibility with commercial and high-voltage residential distribution systems commonly found in Canadian buildings, eliminating the need for additional step-down transformers and simplifying the overall wiring configuration.
Installation is straightforward for qualified electricians, with clearly marked wiring terminals and a compact form factor that integrates neatly into new construction and retrofit projects alike. By pairing this sensor with energy-efficient LED fixtures equipped with compatible dimmable drivers, homeowners can achieve substantial reductions in electricity consumption compared to traditional lighting setups that run at full power continuously. The result is a smarter, greener lighting system that lowers utility costs while extending the operational life of your LED lighting investment through reduced run hours.
