Batten mount lighting controls
13 March 2015
Danlers Batten Mount PIR Occupancy controls are a low cost, easy-fit, energy saving solution for organisations demanding a reduction in their rising energy costs.

They are suitable for switching lights off when not required and, with energy savings of up to 50%, the payback period is kept to a minimum. UK manufactured and IP53 rated, the controls switch lighting loads of up to 10A (6A fluorescent) and are simply fixed to the end of a lighting batten.
New ‘Batten Mount Spot Detection’ controls have a narrow (1.5m) zone of detection suitable for access points into storage aisles.
Additionally, the new ‘Batten Mount Reduced Height Detection’ controls are designed for areas with open grid flooring - where false triggering can occur through other levels. Variants for both controls are available offering either a ‘passive’ photocell or DANLERS radical ‘Intelligent’ photocell.
The ‘Intelligent’ photocell features a one-touch calibration process that distinguishes the difference between the artificial light and the ambient light delivered to the photocell, resulting in further energy savings and is said to minimise the risk of false triggering or ‘hunting’.
