        Cabac | Light Sensitive Motion Detector 240V 50Hz | PIR Sensor

        The Cabac HNS050MD is a passive infra-red motion detector with light sensitivity, rated 240V AC 50Hz for indoor installation. The HNS050MD senses movement within a 2-metre radius and triggers connected Cabac S-Click timer switches only when the room is dark (below 20 lux), combining hands-free light control with power savings. The HNS050MD is designed for use with Cabac S-Click 2-Wire or 3-Wire timer switches (HNS410TM, HNS420TM, HNS440TM, HNS450TM) and fits standard HPM and Clipsal (30 series) wall plates.

        Motion-sensing switches suit retrofit and new-build applications where natural light varies throughout the day. The HNS050MD is engineered in Australia and certified to AS/NZS 3100 and CISPR 15 electrical standards. Meeting rooms, hallways, offices, laundries and garages benefit from automatic switching that turns lights on only when the space is dark and occupancy is detected, reducing energy waste during daylight hours. The detector remains passive — it simply triggers the timer switch without drawing continuous power.

        The trade value of the HNS050MD lies in its simplified installation and dual-sensor approach. Electricians value a sensor that fits standard wall plates without requiring custom backing boxes or extended depth installations. The light threshold (<20 lux) prevents nuisance switching in spaces with ambient natural light, a feature that reduces customer callbacks about lights flickering on in daylit rooms. The 2-metre detection radius suits the majority of single rooms and hallway lengths in domestic applications. Wiring the HNS050MD with multiple units on a single circuit is straightforward — up to 50 metres of trigger wire is supported, enabling one timer to control multiple spaces. The timer switch remains manually operable even with the HNS050MD installed, so occupants are never locked into automation.

        Features

        • Light sensitive PIR detector — only triggers when movement is detected in dark conditions (less than 20 lux), saving power during daylight hours and reducing nuisance activation.
        • 2-metre detection radius — covers the majority of single rooms, hallways, laundries, garages and office spaces without the need for multiple sensors on the same circuit.
        • Mandatory compatibility with Cabac S-Click timers — requires one of HNS410TM, HNS420TM, HNS440TM or HNS450TM to function; the timer controls dwell time and load switching.
        • Standard HPM and Clipsal 30 series wall plate compatibility — lenses included; no custom backing boxes or extended installations required, fitting within standard 16mm and 20mm wall boxes.
        • 3-Wire and 2-Wire options — 3-Wire variants (HNS440TM/HNS450TM) require neutral; 2-Wire variants (HNS410TM/HNS420TM) do not, offering flexibility across different circuits.
        • Multiple sensor wiring — up to 50 metres of total trigger wire allowed, enabling one timer to control multiple motion detectors across different rooms or zones.
        • Manual override retained — the connected timer switch remains fully operable; occupants can manually turn lights on or extend the timed period without sensor interference.
        • Low standby consumption — draws less than 100 milliwatts in standby, adding negligible load to the circuit.
        • AS/NZS 3100 and CISPR 15 certified — complies with Australian and New Zealand electrical and electromagnetic standards for fixed installations.
        • Indoor use only — not rated for outdoor, damp or weatherproof installations; the HNS050MD is designed for interior dry environments only.

        Where to use

        • Meeting rooms and boardrooms — motion sensing prevents lights running in unoccupied spaces during daylight; the HNS050MD triggers the timer only when movement and darkness coincide.
        • Hallways and corridors — commonly lit continuously during business hours or off-peak; the light-level trigger prevents false switching when ambient daylight is adequate.
        • Laundries and utility rooms — spaces with infrequent use benefit from automation; users enter, sensors trigger, lights remain on for a set period then switch off automatically.
        • Garages and storage areas — interior garages and storage rooms often have low natural light; the HNS050MD detects entry and turns on workshop or security lighting.
        • Office spaces and workstations — private offices and hot-desking areas can be fitted with motion control to reduce lighting energy during lunch breaks or after-hours.
        • Home automation retrofit — renovation projects can install the HNS050MD into existing wall fittings without rewiring or enlarging wall boxes.

        The Cabac HNS050MD is not suitable for outdoor installation, weatherproof locations, or damp areas such as wet bathrooms, poolside enclosures or exposed outdoor walls. The detector is also not rated for use in high-temperature environments exceeding +50°C.

        (HNS050MD)

        The HNS050MD cannot operate independently — it must be installed with a Cabac S-Click timer switch (HNS410TM, HNS420TM, HNS440TM or HNS450TM). The timer controls the dwell time and actual load switching. The HNS050MD is a sensor only and acts as a trigger input to the timer.

        The HNS050MD is light-sensitive and triggers only when the room is dark (below 20 lux). The HNS060MD is a movement-only detector with no light threshold, triggering whenever motion is detected regardless of ambient light level. Both require a compatible Cabac timer switch to operate.

        Multiple HNS050MD detectors can be wired to control one Cabac S-Click timer. The total trigger wire length must not exceed 50 metres. There is effectively no limit to the number of detectors provided the wire length constraint is observed.

        Yes, the HNS050MD is certified to AS/NZS 3100 and CISPR 15 standards. It is approved for use in fixed electrical installations in Australia and New Zealand and complies with the electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements of both standards.

        Yes. The manual controls on the Cabac S-Click timer continue to function normally. Occupants can switch lights on or off manually at any time, or extend the timed period without waiting for the automatic cycle to complete.

        No, the HNS050MD is designed for indoor use only and is not rated for outdoor, damp or weatherproof installations. It must be installed inside dry environments. For outdoor motion sensing, a weatherproof motion detector with an appropriate IP rating is required.

        The Cabac HNS050MD is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
