Short Product Description
Short Product Description
Automate your 12V LED lighting with this Microwave Radar Motion Sensor Switch. Operating on DC 10-18V (3A, 35W max), it utilizes Doppler radar technology to detect movement up to 10 meters away, easily penetrating glass, plastic, and thin wood for completely hidden installations. Perfect for LED strips, cabinet lighting, and advertising light boxes, it features a 20-second auto-off delay and remains unaffected by ambient temperature or dust.
Key Features
Key Features
- Doppler Radar Technology: Detects motion up to 10 meters away with a wide 160°x360° sensing angle.
- Penetrates Non-Metals: Can be installed invisibly behind thin wood, glass, or plastic panels.
- Temperature Immune: Maintains consistent sensitivity even in extreme heat (up to 50°C) or dusty environments.
- Automatic Delay: Keeps the connected load powered for 20 seconds (±5s) after motion stops.
- 35W Power Capacity: Safely drives up to 3A (35W) of 12V LED strips, bulbs, or small DC appliances.

Advanced Hidden Motion Detection
This microwave radar sensor utilizes the Doppler effect to detect human movement up to 10 meters away. Unlike traditional Infrared (PIR) sensors that require a direct line of sight, microwave radar can penetrate non-metallic surfaces such as glass, drywall, and thin wood. This allows you to completely hide the sensor inside cabinets, light boxes, or behind panels without sacrificing detection sensitivity.
Stable Performance in Any Environment
Radar technology is immune to environmental changes that typically trigger false alarms in PIR sensors. It remains highly accurate regardless of ambient temperature fluctuations, dust, or heat sources, ensuring your lights only turn on when actual movement occurs. Once activated, the switch maintains power for a 20-second delay, automatically extending the time if continuous motion is detected.
Technician Tip
Always pay strict attention to the wiring polarity and installation environment. The input (IN) uses Red (+) and Black (-), while the output (OUT) uses Red (+) and White (-). Furthermore, as printed on the factory label, do not install this sensor directly behind or facing a metal block. Metal surfaces will reflect the microwave signals, causing the sensor to malfunction or completely blocking its detection range.
(Note: While the physical board features an LDR photoresistor component, some factory batches bypass this circuit for 24/7 operation. Please test your specific unit if daylight sensing is required.)

FAQ Section
FAQ Section
- What is the difference between this radar sensor and a standard PIR sensor?Radar sensors use microwaves to detect motion through non-metallic objects and are unaffected by temperature, whereas PIR sensors rely on heat signatures and require a direct line of sight.
- Can I install this sensor inside a wooden wardrobe?Yes, the microwave signals can easily penetrate thin wooden panels, allowing you to hide the sensor completely inside the wardrobe for a clean look.
- How do I wire this sensor correctly?Connect your 12V power supply to the "IN" wires (Red is Positive +, Black is Negative -), and connect your LED lights to the "OUT" wires (Red is Positive +, White is Negative -).
- Can I connect this sensor directly to a 220V wall outlet?No, this is strictly a low-voltage DC 10-18V switch; connecting it to 220V AC will instantly destroy the unit and pose a severe safety hazard.
- Can I get advice on wiring this for my camper van at your Sham Shui Po store?Yes, our technical team at Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd. can provide practical wiring advice for 12V automotive, camper van, or home LED setups when you visit our retail shop.
