lumina MS - multisensors for optimum energy efficiency!

The main energy saving potential in a building lies in the targeted control of all room functions. e.control multisensors are the prerequisite for this. They record the necessary sensor data with the presence of the persons in the room and the room brightness. Ideal areas of application are rooms with changing occupancy, such as offices, meeting and conference rooms, classrooms and recreation rooms.

The occupancy sensor is based on the reliable passive infrared technology and is designed with its finely divided Fresnel lenses to recognise even the smallest movements. Furthermore, an additional evaluation logic makes it possible to use the sensors to monitor burglary.

Through a built-in brightness sensor with a measuring range of up to 1000 Lux, the multisensor at the same time supplies the decisive measuring variable for optimum use of daylight. By means of the integrated occupancy and constant light controllers, the multisensors lumina MS3 and lumina MS/RC are in a position to dim one or two strip lights in an infinitely adjustable manner so that the required illuminance level is attained with minimum use of energy. In addition, the constant light controller has another operating mode to switch on or switch off non-dimmable lighting in one or two strip lights which are used in cases where dimmable lighting is not required.

The multisensors receive the signals of the optional infrared remote control to control lamps or blinds, to call up scenes or to set the fan stage of a fan convector being operated in the room.

Innovative and unique in function, the lumina MS/RC comes with integrated radio receiver. With this multisensor it is possible to receive and evaluate an e.control radio-controlled temperature sensor as well as several radiocontrolled light and blind sensors directly, without the need for an additional device. Thanks to the unique integrated design including occupancy and brightness sensor, IR and radio receiver as well as occupancy control, constant light control and room temperature control functions, including thermo control, the lumina MS/RC multisensor lies at the heart of a class A energy-efficient room automation system in compliance with EN 15232.

The lumina MS-DAL multisensor is also new. Since as a slave it is only connected to the DALI bus in the same way as a ballast, it is ideally suited for installation in pendant lights or suspended ceiling panels with integrated lighting. Due to its extremely compact form, it does not require much space. It provides the e.control DALI controllers with the sensor values for occupancy and brightness such that they can be evaluated in the LON network. Up to 8 multisensors can be operated on one controller, whereby each device counts as one DALI network load and does not require a group address.

To ensure the correct installation position for each project, the e.control multisensors are available in light, ceiling or surface-mounted versions. All sensors are technically identical and visually captivating thanks to their compact design.
