Steinel MD-8 ECO Motion Detector
Model: MD-8 ECO
Type: COM1, Flush-mounted
Article Number: 087814
EAN: 4007841087814
Functional Description
The new 360° IR motion detectors with Ø 8 m or Ø 24 m range offer a more convenient solution for standard sensor-based requirements in commercial areas. They are ideal for motion detection and light measurement, for example, in offices, meeting rooms, and hallways. Features include a COM1 interface, push-button input, and full/half-automatic mode. Settings and operation can be managed via the Smart Remote remote control or potentiometers. The package includes plug-in cover caps for limiting the detection range. Installation is made easy thanks to a modular magnetic plug-in connection. Suitable for flush-mounted, surface-mounted, and ceiling installation. LED feedback is provided for simple commissioning. The maximum installation height is 4 m. Parallel connection is supported for up to 10 sensors. The switching capacity is 2000 Watts for general loads or 500 Watts for LED loads. The product is sensNORM compliant.

Diagrams and Drawings
Sensor Detection Area
The sensor detection area is illustrated showing a circular coverage pattern. The radial detection range is Ø 4.5 meters (16 m²), and the tangential detection range is Ø 8 meters (50 m²). The diagram indicates that the optimal mounting height is between 2.00 m and 4.00 m. The radial range is marked in orange, and the tangential range is marked in black.
Dimensional Drawing
The dimensional drawing shows the circular motion detector with its main dimensions. The diameter of the device is 109 mm. The depth of the mounting bracket is approximately 70 mm.
Circuit Diagram
A basic circuit diagram illustrates the connection for a single sensor, showing connections for Live (L), Neutral (N), and Switched Neutral/Load (SNL). This indicates how the detector connects to the power supply and the load.
Circuit Diagram for Networking Multiple Sensors
This diagram shows how multiple MD-8 ECO sensors can be networked together. It depicts parallel connections between sensors, with a recommended maximum cable length of less than 50 meters between connected units. This allows for extended coverage by linking up to 10 sensors.
