MK Electric,
the UK’s leading manufacturer of wiring devices and accessories, has introduced
a comprehensive range of innovative lighting controls – MK Sensors – designed to
deliver energy savings and lighting usage management in a wide range of
commercial applications.
The MK Sensor range deploys three main
types of sensor technology – namely PIR, Microwave and Ultrasonic – in a variety
of devices configured for ceiling or corner mounting; as well as long range
detection. All products in the MK Sensors range have a built-in photocell,
providing occupancy and light level detection. The range is also complemented by
a host of accessories and ancillaries – such as programmers and controllers –
which combine to make the collection easy to install, easy to understand and
easy to use. Please refer to some of the products below for reference.
MK Sensors Ceiling Mounted
Standard PIRs
The MK Sensor Standard PIRs provide simple, cost-effective presence detection
for lighting control in small areas.
- Presence detection by
passive infrared effectively enhanced to improve sensitivity to small
movements
|
 |
- Passive photocell holds
lights off in bright ambient conditions
|
- Off delay of 20 minutes
following the last observed movement after which the lights switch off
|
- Flush or surface
mounted variants available
|
- Quick fixing clamp
(flush mounted) adjusts to ceiling tile thickness
|
|
|
|
|
Cone shaped
detection pattern. Optimum mounting height of 2.4m, gives a detection
diameter of 6m |

Superior PIRs
The MK Superior PIR Sensors
offer high-performance, programmable presence detection for lighting control in
offices and open-plan workstations.
- High-performance
programmable presence detectors
|
 |
|
|
-
Programmable Off delay
between 5 and 35 minutes
following the last
observed
movement after which
the lights switch off
|
-
Remote Programming tools
allow commissioning and
re-commissioning of
Sensors
to be carried out with
virtually no
disturbance to
the building’s occupants
|

|
Cone shaped
detection pattern. Optimum mounting height of 2.4m,
gives a detection diameter of 6m
|
Independent time
delays can be
programmed by use of an Infrared
Programming Tool (K4053 or K4050)
|
Hand-held Controllers give temporary
on or off override, light level adjustment and scene setting to the
building’s occupant (K4051 & K4052)

Microwave
Sensors
MK Microwave
Sensors are high performance, directional presence detectors with built-in
photocell for use in almost any internal space. Ideal for larger classrooms,
conference rooms, longer storage aisles and other applications up to 20m x 20m,
the unit is self-contained offering simple installation. It utilises microwave
technology and features a movement detector, photocell and 10 Amp (load
switching) element.
-
Two independent sensitivity controls make the Ultrasonic
Sensors supremely flexible in use
|
 |
-
ON Range is the normal range control, which may be
adjusted according to the needs of the space being monitored
|
-
OFF Range sets the detector range once lights have been
switched off and may, in some cases require a low setting
|
-
OFF Range offers a low setting which may be used in some
applications, for example a library or storage aisle. A higher range may
be required when the aisle is occupied, but a much lower range when the
area becomes unoccupied. Traffic passing across the end of an aisle will
not activate the lights
|
|
FF
Delay sets the time delay (after last detected movement) before lights are
switched off and is adjustable up to 20 minutes
|
- The Photocell observes
the controlled
space, not
just ambient daylight,
and takes account of
all
light contributions - even
from adjacent zones
|
|
|
Use
this method of mounting for racking aisle applications and where
adjustment in the vertical plane will give improved control over the
precise point of entry detection
|
Horizontal Installation
For
general applications where ceiling mounting is not convenient and wide angle
coverage in the horizontal plane is desirable |
|

Sensors Long Range
Long
Range Detector
MK Long Range
Detectors are a high performance presence detection system providing effective
energy-saving control to large areas such as warehouses, sports halls and
stadia, workshops, hangars, conference centres etc.
-
Long Range Detectors consist of a control unit and low
voltage microwave detectors, which may be combined to
form one self-contained unit
|
 |
-
All or part of the load may be in semi-automatic
operation, whereby a switch is provided to switch On. The load is
automatically reset Off
once the area is vacated
|
-
Semi-automatic operation can be employed where activation
from adjacent spaces may occur or where existing light levels are
adequate for visiting access
|
-
The remote photocells can be configured to control all, or
part of, the controlled load
|
-
Detectors are located in a unique spherical housing which
incorporates an antenna and offers a wide polar response
|
-
The unit is robust and secure against accidental damage in
open areas such as sports halls and warehouses
|
|
|
Orientation to give optimum width or depth of coverage. Note: the Long
Range Detectors can ‘see’ behind themselves in open ended aisles they
should be inset
|
Positioning
The
Detector can see through glass and should be pointed away from thin
partitions and windows
