Frequently asked questions about the Switches, movement detectors category
What are Switches, movement detectors and what are they used for?
Switches, movement detectors are devices for controlling lighting and sockets in homes, offices or industrial sites; the category includes switches, sockets, motion sensors and timers that automate lights, reduce energy use and improve security.
What types of switches are available in the 'Switches and sockets' category?
The range includes single- and multi-gang mechanical and modular switches (e.g. SEDNA DISAIN, APOLO, BASIC), sockets with earth connections and IP44-rated enclosures for wet areas.
How to choose a motion detector for a corridor or entrance?
Pick a detector with a 90–180° detection angle and 6–12 m range for corridors/entrances; ensure adjustable sensitivity, a built-in timer and an appropriate IP rating if used outdoors or in damp areas.
How do SEDNA DISAIN, APOLO and BASIC models differ?
SEDNA DISAIN focuses on designer frames (aluminium, beige), APOLO offers matte and champagne-finish frames often with backlight, while BASIC is a budget functional range with simple controls and illuminated switches.
Do sockets in a bathroom need IP44 protection and which models suit?
Yes, sockets in bathrooms should be IP44-rated or higher; the range includes IP44-marked sockets such as P.PESA SENTIA MAANDUSEGA IP44 and P.PESA SEDNA D MAANDUS with covers suitable for damp rooms.
Which timers and detectors are best for outdoor lighting?
Choose detectors and timers with IP44+ rating, a wide detection angle and adjustable run-time; prefer units that let you set delay from seconds to minutes and are rated to withstand temperature fluctuations.
Can industrial switches and sockets be used in home projects?
Industrial switches and sockets are built for higher loads and protection and can be used in home workshops or for heavy equipment, but ensure current rating and physical dimensions match your home's wiring and mounting boxes.
How to check frame and mechanism compatibility (e.g. APOLO, TOURAN, SEDNA)?
Check the mounting type, number of modules (1–3) and mechanism dimensions; APOLO, TOURAN and SEDNA frames have different installation sizes, so pick the frame that matches the mechanism dimensions listed in the product description.
Which sockets are suitable for connecting a TV and internet equipment in the living room?
Use dedicated TV/SAT antenna sockets such as ANTENNIPESA SEDNA DISAIN 7dB or TV/SAT 4dB for television, and RJ45 Cat.6 wall sockets like ARVUTIPESA SEDNA DISAIN 1xRJ45 CAT.6 UTP for internet equipment.
