1 sensor with cable length 1.5m, 1 side cover, 3 clips

The switch/dimmer sensor for the Pyxis LED luminaire with recessed mounting by Emuca offers an advanced and elegant solution for lighting control. Thanks to its infrared technology, it allows the luminaire to switch on and off progressively, with a proximity detection range of 5 cm.

The sensor has an ON/OFF function activated by a short hand approach or dimmer function activated by a prolonged hand approach. It features a memory function, so the luminaire will switch on again at the last previously selected brightness level. It is the perfect choice for upper kitchen units, as it ensures energy efficiency and ease of use.

Installation is quick and simple, as the kit includes all necessary components: the sensor with cable, a final end cap, and 3 mounting clips. In addition, it incorporates a 1.5 m power cable with Miniled connector, compatible with 24V DC converters (not included). Its maximum admissible power is 48 W, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Made of plastic, it is available in black or grey finish, ensuring discreet and elegant integration into any type of furniture, while adding a modern and minimalist style to the overall design.

This sensor switch/dimmer for the Pyxis luminaire allows you to turn the light on, off, and adjust the brightness with a simple hand gesture, combining comfort, aesthetics, and energy efficiency.

For manufacturers, it is an advanced solution that integrates easily into tall kitchen modules or technical furniture thanks to its 5 cm infrared proximity detection, 0–100% dimmer function, and memory of the last brightness level. Compatible with 24 V DC systems and up to 48 W, it allows you to differentiate your products without increasing production complexity or excessive costs.

Wholesalers and distributors will find this sensor a highly accepted and easy-to-market product. Its complete format — sensor with a 1.5 m cable with Miniled connector, 3 clips, screws, and end caps — ensures a hassle-free after-sales experience and positions it as an ideal complement within any premium lighting range.

For carpenters and small shops, this sensor offers a key competitive advantage: it installs quickly and without programming, providing the end customer with a modern, functional, and differentiating solution. Ideal for custom projects with low margin for error and high quality expectations.

In the e-commerce and digital retail channel, it stands out for its clear value proposition: touchless technology, progressive dimming, and aesthetic finishes in black or gray. Perfect for cross-selling strategies alongside the Pyxis luminaire, with excellent performance in visually optimized product listings.

The sensor offers dual functionality: -Switching on/off with a brief hand movement of less than 5 cm (less than 0.5 seconds). -Intensity regulation (dimmer) with a prolonged movement (more than 1 second). The system incorporates light level memory, which allows the luminaire to turn on at the last intensity used, optimising comfort and energy efficiency.

Both sensors offer the same functions (ON/OFF, dimmer and memory), but the difference depends on the type of installation: -Recessed sensor: designed for use with the Pyxis recessed luminaire in the cabinet. Prior machining is required for installation. Its integration is ideal for high-end projects where a clean aesthetic with no visible elements is a priority. -Surface-mounted sensor: designed for use with the Pyxis surface-mounted luminaire. It is screwed directly onto the outside of the furniture. It is quicker to install and suitable for projects where ease of installation is required or machining is not possible. Although visible, its compact design maintains a discreet appearance.

The infrared sensor has a detection range of 5 cm. To ensure accurate switching on/off or smooth dimming, it must be installed without any obstructions in front and with the detection plane facing outwards. It is recommended to avoid placing it in deep cavities or behind translucent materials that may interfere with the infrared signal.

This sensor is designed for 24V DC systems and must be connected to a compatible converter via its Miniled connector. The maximum permissible load is 48W. The converter must have surge protection and be sized according to the total consumption of the connected luminaire.

For installation, the sensor is inserted into the luminaire profile, which requires cutting the 22 mm white diffuser profile. In addition, a Ø7 mm through hole must be drilled for the Miniled connector. As for the machining of the cabinet, the length of the luminaire +4 mm must be taken into account for precise mounting with the end caps.
