Brightness sensors
Illuminance measurement is the foundation for efficient building automation, productive agriculture, and safe industrial processes. To meet these demands even more effectively, the B+B brightness sensor with integrated transducer offers a comprehensive all-in-one solution.
Instead of having to decide on a measuring range in advance when purchasing, this new version provides the user with maximum flexibility. Three application-oriented measuring ranges can be configured directly on the device via switches: 0 ... 1,000 Lux, 0 ... 10,000 Lux, and 0 ... 100,000 Lux.
In addition to the 0 ... 10 V output voltage, a 0 ... 5 V output is available and included. Furthermore, the output voltage is invertible, making it particularly suitable for controlling LED controllers or dimmers. For control tasks, a switching output is provided, with a switching threshold that can be easily adjusted via a potentiometer.
As soon as the detected brightness exceeds the set threshold, the solid-state relay activates. If the light level drops 10% below the set value, the switching output deactivates. The IP65-rated enclosure provides reliable protection for the electronics. The B+B brightness sensor with transducer and switchable measuring range is ideal for a wide variety of applications, both indoors and outdoors.
Yes, customised designs are available on request. Please note that due to the planning and implementation costs involved, we can only produce customised designs for orders with a minimum value of €500.00.
Wall mounts for the B+B rain detector and the B+B brightness sensor can be purchased in our online shop.
Our brightness sensors have an accuracy of <±10% (with vertical light incidence).
The dimensions of the brightness sensor are as follows: (LxWxH) 65 x 59 x 50 mm.
Our brightness sensors are housed in a high-quality plastic casing with IP protection class IP 65.
Passive infrared sensors (PIR) detect heat radiation emitted by moving objects within their detection range by sensing changes in the infrared spectrum. Radar sensors, on the other hand, emit electromagnetic waves and detect the reflection of these waves from objects to detect movement. Radar sensors are often better at detecting movements that are directly approaching the sensor than PIR sensors.
