Overview 

The MWS3A-PRM microwave presence detector provides 
automatic control of lighting loads with optional manual 
control. 
The MWS3A-PRM detects movement using a highly 
sensitive microwave detector. This works by emitting low 
power microwave signals and measuring the reflections as 
the signals bounce off moving objects.  
The output channel comprises a mains voltage relay 
capable of simple on/off switching. 
Functioning as a presence detector, the unit can turn lights 
on when a room is occupied and off when the room is 
empty. Optional settings allow lights to be turned off in 
response to ambient daylight. 
The MWS3A-PRM has a unique adjustable sensor head 
that allows the area of detection to be optimised for the 
application.  

All functionality is fully programmable using an IR handset.
