V-TAC VT-8048 is a white, wall-mounted PIR motion sensor designed to switch connected lighting automatically. It responds to movement detected by infrared, while the pivoting head shown in the gallery can be aimed towards the area to be monitored. This is an infrared sensor rather than a microwave model.
Detection area and adjustments
The detection angle is 180°, with a maximum reach of 12 m when the temperature is below 24°C. The manufacturer states a detected motion speed of 0.6–1.5 m/s. These figures help position the unit in relation to the doorway or passage it is intended to cover and set the axis of the movable head deliberately.
The LUX control adjusts the ambient-light threshold over a range below 3–2000 lx, allowing operation to be limited to darker conditions or enabled in daylight. A second control sets the hold time; the minimum setting is approximately 10 seconds, and further movement restarts the timing period. A manual override can keep the controlled light switched on independently of automatic detection.
Switched load and electrical connection
The sensor operates on AC 220–240V at 50/60Hz. For this exact EAN, the product sheet gives a maximum switched load of 1200W for traditional lighting and 300W for LED lighting. These are limits for the connected load, not the sensor’s own power draw; its electronics consume approximately 0.5W. The supply and controlled circuit must be connected according to the wiring diagram, with power isolated and by a person qualified to carry out electrical work.
Dimensions and mounting
The polycarbonate housing measures 86.4 mm wide, 86.4 mm high and 60.4 mm deep. The recommended wall mounting height is 1.8–2.5 m. An IP44 rating describes the enclosure’s resistance to splashing water, although the VT-8048 instruction manual specifies indoor use. Product weight is 0.2 kg, and the exact EAN variant carries a two-year warranty.
