Rako WK-PIR Wired Ceiling-Mounted Occupancy Sensor

The Rako WK-PIR is a ceiling-mounted occupancy sensor designed for integration with Rako's wired lighting control systems. It detects motion to automate lighting scenes, enhancing both convenience and energy efficiency in residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

The WK-PIR offers high-sensitivity motion detection over a wide area, ensuring reliable occupancy sensing. Its discreet design requires a 48mm ceiling cutout for installation, secured by internal metal clips without the need for screws, facilitating a clean and unobtrusive appearance. The sensor operates in multiple modes, including time-based and ambient light level modes, allowing for tailored lighting responses based on specific requirements. Integration with the Rako WK-HUB enables time-dependent scene selection, providing flexibility for different lighting needs throughout the day. Additionally, the WK-PIR supports absence detection, automatically turning off lights when a space is unoccupied, contributing to energy savings.

Installation and Compatibility

Installation is straightforward, involving a connection to the Rako wired network via the included WK-CONNECT interface unit. The sensor is powered through the network, eliminating the need for separate power supplies. Programming and configuration are managed through Rako's Rasoft Pro software, with the WK-HUB required for full functionality. This setup allows for seamless integration into existing Rako wired systems, ensuring consistent performance across all connected devices.

For installations requiring additional connectivity options, the Rako WK-CONNECT serves as an in-ceiling wired connection unit with an RJ11 socket, facilitating easy integration of devices like the WK-PIR into the Rako wired network. In wireless setups, the Rako RK-PIR offers similar occupancy sensing capabilities as the WK-PIR but operates over Rako's wireless network. It includes a removable battery box and is ideal for scenarios where running data cables is impractical. The primary difference between the WK-PIR and RK-PIR lies in their communication methods; the former is designed for wired networks, while the latter caters to wireless installations.

Conclusion

The Rako WK-PIR is a versatile and efficient solution for automating lighting based on occupancy. Its seamless integration with Rako's wired systems, combined with flexible programming options, makes it a valuable addition to any smart lighting setup.
