VT-8029 MOTION SENSOR – Recessed 360° PIR Ceiling Sensor

The VT-8029 MOTION SENSOR (manufactured by V-TAC under SKU 5090 / 23679) is a flush-mount Passive Infrared (PIR) ceiling sensor designed for automated indoor lighting control. Engineered to capture heat signatures without emitting radiation, this recessed motion sensor provides 360° detection coverage, automatically switching attached lighting circuits ON when movement is detected and turning them OFF after a customizable delay.

Featuring a durable polycarbonate (PC) body with integrated spring clips, the VT-8029 MOTION SENSOR installs directly into ceiling cutouts (60–62 mm diameter) for a clean, low-profile finish. The sensor operates across an input voltage of 220–240 V AC and supports up to 300 W for modern LED luminaires or up to 1200 W for traditional incandescent loads.

As illustrated in the product image, the device features a circular white front bezel with a domed Fresnel lens, rear-mounted spring retention arms, and side-mounted trimmer dials (TIME and LUX) for precise field calibration.

Key Features of the VT-8029 MOTION SENSOR

• 360° PIR Detection Zone: Equipped with a high-sensitivity infrared receptor array offering a full 360° cone of detection up to a 6-meter radius.

• Adjustable Ambient Light (LUX): Integrated ambient light sensor allows setting triggering thresholds from 3 LUX (night-only operation) to 2000 LUX (daylight and night operation).

• Customizable Time Delay: Features an adjustable timer dial to set off-delay duration from a minimum of 10 seconds (pm 3 seconds) to a maximum of 15 minutes (pm 2 minutes).

• High Load Capacity: Compatible with up to 300 W LED lighting loads or up to 1200 W incandescent / traditional halogen lighting circuits.

• Flush-Mount Recessed Design: Built with spring-loaded retaining clips for quick, tool-free mounting into drywall or suspended ceiling tiles.

• Continuous Triggering Function: Automatically resets the delay timer if secondary motion is detected before the cycle completes, preventing unexpected light shutoffs.

Common Applications and Practical Usage

The energy-saving design and wide coverage angle of the VT-8029 MOTION SENSOR make it ideal for commercial, residential, and office environments:

• Hallways & Stairwells: Ensures automatic illumination along transit routes when occupants enter, switching off when areas are vacant to reduce energy waste.

• Restrooms & Utility Rooms: Eliminates the need for manual wall switch contact, supporting hygienic hands-free operation.

• Offices & Conference Rooms: Provides automated light switching based on room occupancy and ambient daylight conditions.

• Storage Areas & Garages: Keeps lighting active while staff load or unload supplies without requiring manual switch toggling.

Operating Guidelines and Best Practices

INSTALLATION TIP: Cut a 60–62 mm diameter opening in the ceiling tile. Fold the metal spring clips upward, push the sensor body through the opening, and release the springs to clamp the unit securely into place.

• Sensor Placement: Avoid pointing the lens toward reflective surfaces (mirrors) or near strong heat sources like air conditioner vents or heating radiators, which can cause false triggers.

• Daylight Calibration: To test sensor operation during daylight hours, rotate the LUX trimmer clockwise to the “SUN” position.
