In hazardous environments such as oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, and offshore platforms, safety and efficiency are non-negotiable. Lighting systems must not only withstand harsh conditions but also operate intelligently to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. The GRINSAFE G-CTRL Series Explosion Proof Microwave Motion Sensor is engineered to meet these demands with precision and reliability. Reliable Detection for Explosive Environments The G-CTRL Series utilizes advanced microwave motion sensing technology to deliver accurate, contactless detection—even in challenging industrial conditions. Designed specifically for hazardous areas, it ensures stable performance where traditional sensors may fail. With a robust die-casting aluminum body and corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, the sensor is built to endure moisture, salt spray, and chemical exposure. This makes it an ideal solution for marine, offshore, and heavy industrial applications. Seamless Integration with Hazardous Lighting The G-CTRL explosion proof sensor is designed to integrate effortlessly with GRINSAFE’s hazardous location lighting systems, including the GHSL, GHRL, and GHLV series. Supporting a wide input voltage range of 120–277V AC and 1–10V dimming control, it enables flexible and energy-efficient lighting automation. Installation is equally adaptable, with a maximum mounting height of up to 15 meters, ensuring optimal coverage for large industrial spaces such as warehouses, terminals, and processing facilities. Smart Control for Energy Efficiency The G-CTRL Series offers multiple intelligent control modes to suit different operational needs: 1. Automatic ON/OFF Mode The sensor detects ambient daylight and motion simultaneously. Lights remain off when sufficient daylight is available, even if movement is detected. When daylight is insufficient, the sensor activates lighting and automatically switches it off after a preset hold time when no motion is detected. With sufficient daylight, even when motion detected, light remains OFF With insufficient daylight, the sensor turns light ON when motion gets detected The sensor turns OFF light automatically after the holdtime when there’s no motion detected 2. Daylight Disable Mode In this mode, the sensor prioritizes motion detection only. Lights turn on when motion is detected and remain on for the defined hold time before switching off automatically. The sensor turns light ON when motion gets detected. The sensor keeps light ON for holdtime period after motion leaves The sensor turns OFF light automatically after the holdtime 3. Corridor Function (Bi-Level Dimming) Ideal for low-traffic areas, this mode enhances energy savings. When no motion is detected, lighting transitions from full brightness to a preset standby dimming level, then eventually turns off after the standby period. This ensures safety while minimizing unnecessary power consumption. With sufficient daylight, the sensor keeps light OFF even motion gets detected With insufficient daylight, the sensor turns light ON when motion gets detected After there’s no motion detected, the sensor keeps light ON 100% for holdtime After holdtime, sensor dims light to standby dimming level for standby period The sensor turns OFF light automatically after the standby period when there’s no motion detected Flexible Setup and Configuration The G-CTRL Series supports both DIP switch settings and remote control configuration, allowing users to easily customize detection sensitivity, hold time, daylight threshold, and dimming levels. This flexibility ensures the sensor can be tailored to different site requirements without complex setup. Optimized Detection Coverage With a maximum installation height of 15 meters, the G-CTRL sensor delivers wide-area coverage at full sensitivity. It is engineered to maintain reliable detection performance even at elevated mounting positions, making it suitable for large-scale industrial applications. Built for Safety and Performance Designed specifically for hazardous locations, the G-CTRL Series enhances operational safety by ensuring lighting is available when needed—without manual intervention. Its durable construction and intelligent control capabilities help reduce energy usage, extend lighting lifespan, and lower maintenance costs.
