Review: **Steinel Motion Sensor IS 140-2 Black: Enhanced Security and Convenience** - I recently installed the Steinel Motion Sensor IS 140-2 Black in my home, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in terms of both security and convenience. Here's why I'm impressed: Firstly, the adjustability of this motion sensor is outstanding. It can be horizontally and vertically adjusted, allowing for targeted detection along the building with a wide 140° angle of coverage. This ensures that every corner of the area is monitored effectively. The range of the motion detector is also impressive, reaching up to 14 meters. This extensive coverage ensures that large areas are thoroughly surveyed, providing enhanced security and peace of mind. One of the standout features of the IS 140-2 is its use of spherical Fresnel lenses. These lenses detect people with great precision and consistency, ensuring reliable detection without false alarms. Furthermore, the optical system of the motion sensor can be swiveled through 180° and tilted through 90°, allowing for precise adjustment of the detection zone. Additionally, the detection zone can be customized using the provided shrouds, providing flexibility to tailor the sensor to specific needs. The housing of the IS 140-2 is made of UV-resistant plastic, ensuring durability and longevity even in outdoor environments. Moreover, the response value luminosity ranges from 2 to 2000 lx, allowing for adaptable performance based on ambient light conditions. Installation of the IS 140-2 is quick and straightforward, with the option to wire it up and mount it to the wall or corner. Corner wall mounts are available as accessories, further simplifying the installation process. Overall, the Steinel Motion Sensor IS 140-2 Black offers a combination of advanced features, customizable settings, and ease of installation, making it an excellent choice for enhancing security and convenience in any environment.
Review: German quality - but don't last forever, a diagnostic tip that might save you time - These Steinel units work much better than the retail sheds' PIR's, which are cheaply made in China and pack up after a couple of years (typically by latching permanently on). I've ended up using about a dozen to replace old PIR's as they fail, and can vouch for their superior quality and reliability. However they too can fail eventually, in which case you simply swap round a new identical 140-2 PIR head onto the old base, reconnecting Live In, Neutral, Last Load Live Out on the internal connnector "choc bloc".... obviously disconnecting the mains supply before undertaking any electrical work. I have had a couple fail in the same way after about 5 years. This is cycling on and off every 30-45 seconds, with no heat source activation. This means your light will stay on permanently if there is any sort of time set on the unit. Disconnecting the PIR head and seeing if the Live In and Live Out wires offer no resistance on a multimeter (ie light always on) will not reveal the problem....the PIR has to be connected to the mains for this cycling to occur. I discovered this on an installation featuring 5 PIR's acting as a single network driving 5 floodlights all together via a relay, where the floodlights ended up after many years all on permanently. I ended up having to take each PIR head off in turn, using a simple rig to check which PIR head was the offender, as pictured. The malfunctioning PIR head, with both knobs turned fully clockwise for the "walk test", seemingly functioned perfectly. However if you then stayed out of range, the PIR head would start cycling, showing it was the one to replace.

## Features

- This motion sensor can be adjusted horizontally and vertically for a targeted detection along the building with a 140° angle of coverage

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is included in the delivery?**
A: In addition to the motion sensor, 2x wall plugs, 2x matching screws and sensor cover plates for adjusting the detection area are supplied.

**Q: The sensor switches on for no recognisable reason. What could be the reason for this?**
A: Gusts of wind can cause short-term temperature fluctuations, which can lead to incorrect switching. Other triggers can also be exhaust air openings in the house wall or animals in the detection area.

**Q: Why does the motion detector not achieve the specified maximum range?**
A: For technical reasons, PIR sensors react best in a tangential direction of movement (parallel to the sensor). If the direction of movement is radial (towards the sensor), the detection range is reduced.

**Q: Is the sensor waterproof?**
A: The motion sensor is protected against splash water (IP54) and can therefore be installed outdoors without any problems.

**Q: How high can I mount the motion detector?**
A: The mounting height can be between 1.8 and 3 meters. A height of 2 m would be ideal for the sensor. If mounted higher, the maximum possible detection range is reduced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caution - Steinel use black wire for Live, not the brown wire (which is Switched live)
*by S***N on 22 June 2025*

I have installed many, and also own several, Steinel products but this product - the IS 140 - confuses many electricians. This is not a complaint or criticism but simply a warning to others who may follow normal best practice (eg our NVQ training!) and use brown wire for Live and find the product fails! I seen two versions and this is how it should be wired (note, there is no PE Earth) … UK version: Black - Live feed (from power) Blue - Neutral Brown - Switched Live (to lights) or EU Version (sold here on Amazon - just bought two this week) Black - Live feed (from power) Blue - Neutral PURPLE - Switched Live (to lights) … Here’s the Issue … it’s not just the swapped use of the brown wire by Steinel that’s confusing, but just over two decades ago before the UK aligned to the EU, red was live and black Neutral. Standard were set to prevent black ever being used in a way that might confuse with its old use. Today, brown is always the primary live feed. In other multi-core cables, where there are black wire, brown is the first live, then black will a switched live (or perhaps ‘common’ in switching or L2 in multi phase feeds). You get the idea … Steinel haven’t! Little wonder, then, that one the best sparkys I know tested an IS 140 every which way going but just didn’t occur to him that the black could possibly be the live feed! The irony is the old UK use of the black coloured wires was ditched for German-led EU standard and Steinel is one of Germany’s oldest and finest electrical manufacturers. PS If Steinel read this my suggestion, respectfully would be to, first of all, MAKE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS CLEARER - both printed and online - they really are very poor (tried to be oversimplified for a multi-language leaflet) and do the following: Brown - Live feed (from power) Blue - Neutral Grey - Switched Live (to lights) And then make instructions for replacing like-for-like very clear too (because thousands of these existing devices will have brown connected as switched live, so it will need a warning).
