Product Information
Microwave Sensor RF Switch & Dimmer
The Microwave Sensor RF Switch & Dimmer is a motion detection device that comes with an HF system of 10.525GHz. The device can detect motion through plastic, glass, and thin non-metal materials. It has a built-in motion sensor and daylight sensor and is powered by low voltage 9-24VDC, outputting RF 2.4G signal. The device can be matched with RF LED controller or RF dimmable LED driver use. The detection area, time delay, and daylight threshold can be set via a knob potentiometer for each specific application. It has a wide detection area, with a range up to 20m in diameter and supports higher mounting height up to 15m Max.
Technical Parameters
- Working voltage: 9-24VDC
- Output signal: RF 2.4GHz
- HF system: 10.525GHz
- Power consumption: < 0.5W(Standby)
- Detection zone: Evening(30lux) / Daytime(>50lux)
- Detection sensitivity: Evening(30lux) / Daytime(>50lux)
Usage Instructions
- The Microwave Sensor RF Switch & Dimmer is designed for indoor use only.
- Ensure the power is turned off before installing, wiring, and changing setting of the knob.
- The device should be installed by a professional electrician.
- The distance between any two sensors should be at least 3m to avoid interference each other.
- When the microwave sensor is installed in a metal lighting fixture or space with large reflector, reduce the detection area to solve the problems.
- Make sure the sensor is not close to or be blocked by high-density materials, such as metal, glass, concrete walls, etc.
- The device can be matched with RF LED controller or RF dimmable LED driver use. Two options are offered for selection:
- Use the controller’s Match key: Short press match key on the controller firstly, and immediately press match key on the sensor. The LED indicator on the controller fast flash a few times means match is successful.
- Use Power Restart: Switch off the power of the RF controller or LED driver, then switch on power, repeat again, immediately short press the match key on the sensor. The light blinks 3 times means match is successful.
- The device can also be deleted:
- Press and hold match key on the controller for 5s to delete all match. The LED indicator fast flash a few times means match were deleted.
- Switch off the power of the RF controller or LED driver, then switch on power, repeat again, immediately long press the match key 2s on the sensor. The light blinks 5 times means match is deleted.

- Ceilling mounting pattern(Unit:m) Suggested installation height: 2.5-15m
Typical application 1: used as a switch
Turns on the light upon detection of motion, and turns off after a pre-
selected hold time when there is no movement.
Setting on this demonstration:
- Detection area: 50%
- Hold time: 90S
- Daylight sensor: 50lux
Detection area:
- Detection area: Detection area can be reduced by rotate knob to fit precisely each application.
- Hold time: Refers to the time period remains light on state after no motion detected.
- Daylight sensor: The sensor can be set to only allow the lamp to illuminate when below a defined ambient brightness threshold. When set to off(Disable) mode, the daylight sensor will switch on the lamp when motion is detected regardless of ambient light level. 50lux: twilight; 30 lux: evening; 10 lux: darkness. Note that daylight sensor is active only when lamp totally switches off, and the ambient lux level refers to internal light reaching the sensor.
Typical application 2: used as a switch with two-step dimming:
Turns on the light upon detection of motion, after a pre-selected hold time,
dim to 20% brightness, and turns off after a pre-selected stand-by time when
there is no movement.
Setting on this demonstration:
-
Detection area: 50%
-
Hold time & Stand-by time: 90S
-
Daylight sensor: 50lux
-
Detection area: Detection area can be reduced by rotate knob to fit precisely each application.
-
Hold time: Refers to the time period remains light on and 100% brightness state after no motion is detected.
-
Stand-by time: Refers to the time period remains light on and dim to 20% brightness state after elapse of hold time if no new motion is detected. The stand-by time is same as the hold time.
-
Daylight sensor: The sensor can be set to only allow the lamp to illuminate when below a defined ambient brightness threshold. When set to off (Disable) mode, the daylight sensor will switch on the lamp when motion is detected regardless of ambient light level. 50lux: twilight; 30 lux: evening; 10 lux: darkness. Note that daylight sensor is active only when lamp totally switches off, and the ambient lux level refers to internal light reaching the sensor.
Typical application 3: used as a dimmer:
Turns on the light and dim up to expected brightness level upon detection of
motion, and turns off after a pre-selected hold time when there is no
movement.
-
Detection area: 50%
-
Hold time: 90S
-
Daylight sensor: 150lux
-
Detection area: Detection area can be reduced by rotate knob to fit precisely each application.
-
Hold time: Refers to the time period remains light on state after no motion detected.
-
Daylight sensor: The sensor can be set to allow the lamp to illuminate to expected brightness level. If the detected brightness is less than the expected brightness, the output will dim up to full brightness(100%). If the detected brightness is larger than the expected brightness, the output will dim down to min brightness(1%). Note that daylight sensor is active only when lamp switches on, and the ambient lux level refers to internal light reaching the sensor.

Match Remote Control (two match ways):
The microwave motion sensor RF switch must be matched with one or multiple RF
LED controller or RF dimmable LED driver, including single color, dual color,
RGB, RGBW, RGB+CCT or switch light type, turn on or turn off light by motion
detection. End user can choose the suitable match/delete ways. Two options are
offered for selection.
Use the controller’s Match key
- Match: Short press match key on the controller firstly, immediately press match key on the sensor. The LED indicator on th controller fast flash a few times means match is successful.
- Delete: Press and hold match key on the controller for 5s to delete all match, The LED indicator fast flash a few times means match were deleted. User Manual Ver 1.0.0
Use Power Restart
- Match: Switch off the power of the RF controller or LED driver, then switch on power, repeat again, immediately short press the match key on the sensor. The light blinks 3 times means match is successful.
- Delete: Switch off the power of the RF controller or LED driver, then switch on power, repeat again, immediately long press the match key 2s on the sensor. The light blinks 5 times means match is deleted.
Microwave Application Notice
-
The sensor is designed for indoor use only.
The raining or wind blowing may trigger the microwave sensor even if without human motion when outdoor use. -
The sensor should be installed by a professional electrician. please turn off the power before installing, wiring and changing setting of the knob.
-
The distance between any two sensors should be at least 3m to avoid interference each other.
-
When the microwave sensor is installed in a metal lighting fixture or space with large reflector, for example a warehouse with metal roof, the microwave signal will be reflected and cause the lights permanent illuminated even if without motion signal. Please reduce the detection area to solve the problems.
-
Make sure the sensor not close to or be blocked by high density materials, such as metal, glass, concrete walls etc.
The materials will reduce or block microwave signal and cause false trigger. -
The sensor which installed in the plastic and glass lampshade will reduce th sensitivity.
For every 3mm increase in thickness, the sensitivity will reduced by 20%. -
The light sensitivity threshold is in a sunny environment, no shadow and ambient light diffuse reflection. Ambient lux level could be different in different environment, weather, climate, time-of-delay and season.
-
Make sure there are no fans, DC motor, or other vibrating objects in installation area. The movement will trigger sensor as well.
