Elegant FS24 Proximity Switch (White / Black) – Precision Optical Sensor for LED Lighting
The modern, automatic Elegant FS24 proximity switch is a professional control solution designed for discreet and comfortable management of LED lighting on stairs, in hallways, and along corridors. Equipped with a brand-name Sharp reflective sensor and soft-start technology, it guarantees reliable operation and an exceptionally aesthetic finish.
Why Choose the Elegant FS24 Lighting Controller?
- Sharp Optical Reflective Sensor: Ensures stable and highly precise detection of objects located directly in front of the sensor, preventing accidental triggers from the sides.
- Operation Without Mirrors or Reflectors: The device sends an invisible infrared beam that reflects directly off an obstacle (e.g., a walking person's leg), eliminating the need to install additional components on the opposite wall.
- Smooth Dimming and Fading: The built-in dimming module guarantees a soft, aesthetic light transition, which improves visual comfort and extends the lifespan of LED strips.
- Full Distance and Delay Time Adjustment: Two dedicated potentiometers located on the board allow for intuitive adjustment of the detection range and light duration.
- Wide Voltage Range and High Power: Supports 12V–24V DC voltage and an output current of up to 9A, allowing it to power extensive LED lighting setups (up to 108W at 12V / up to 216W at 24V).
- Hassle-Free Flush Mounting: Designed with a 69 mm outer diameter to fit perfectly into a standard 60 mm (FI 60) electrical junction box.
- Two-Color Aesthetics: Available in snow-white and matte deep black finishes, making it easy to match modern interior designs.
Reliability and Advanced Reflective Technology
At the heart of the Elegant FS24 switch is a proven infrared sensor chip from Sharp. The sensor emits a safe light beam invisible to the human eye with a narrow detection angle. This ensures the controller responds only to forward movement (e.g., a person stepping onto the first stair) without interference from side movement in the room.
An optical feedback signal is indicated by a red LED built into the front panel of the controller, facilitating initial setup and ongoing operation checks.
Simple Parameter Adjustment and Customization
On the back of the electronic module, there are two clearly labeled axial potentiometers that can be adjusted using a small flathead screwdriver:
- Distance Adjustment (DISTANCE): Allows precise setting of the detection range from 35 cm to approximately 140 cm. Turning clockwise increases sensitivity, while turning counterclockwise shortens the detection range.
- Time Adjustment (TIME): Allows setting the light delay duration after motion detection in the range of 5 to 90 seconds. This provides flexibility—from brief stair illumination to longer corridor lighting.
Application and Compatibility with LED Power Schemes
The FS24 proximity switch is designed to work with single-color LED strips (MONO), modules, and stair luminaires operating at a standard 12V - 24V DC voltage. Thanks to stable screw terminal connectors (U+, U-, LED+, LED-), connecting the switching power supply and the load is fast and secure. The controller also works seamlessly with external LED signal amplifiers, enabling control over high-power lighting over long distances.
