Outdoor Lighting Control - Exterior Landscape Lighting
Sure Action motion sensors enable installers to create effective exterior landscape lighting designs.  These outdoor lighting controls detect people and vehicles.

Sure Action ENHP+ Motion SensorSure Action Stress Sensors.  For outdoor lighting applications, stress sensors are an ideal choice for triggering  automated lights for decks, docks, porches, gazebos, pool areas, small bridges over landscaped ponds, and other locations where a type of "flooring" exits.  Stress sensors are unobtrusive.  They mount on the underside of support beams and are an invisible form of home controls.    Pulsor stress sensors are effective on virtually all kinds of construction material including steel.  The sensors can be used to trigger any type of lighting eqiupment.  They can also be used to trigger video cameras or internal annunciation devices (such as a chime.)  By adding the appropriate relays, these sensors can also be used to trigger any combination of automation devices.

Sure Action Driveway Sensor Alert SystemsSure Action Motion Detectors  (Probes) respond to moving vehicles.  They can trigger one or more lights at one time, or they can be used to trigger a number of outdoor lights in sequence so that each light or group of lights turn on when the vehicle is within a specified range.   Our driveway sensors are passive, momentary devices that operate as triggers.   They are not meant to be used as security devices.  They do not respond to stationary metal.   The vehicles must be moving to be detected.  If the movement stops, the probe response becomes passive (inert) again.

Sure Action's probes (driveway sensors) can detect a vehicle moving as slowly as 1/2 mile per hour and work for driveways as wide as 14 feet.  

Sure Action Outdoor Motion Sensor Alert SystemThe Outdoor Motion Sensor Alert System uses infrared technology to detect not just the vehicles that travel a driveway, but the pedestrians too.   Sure Action's Outdoor Motion Sensor takes probe systems to a new level. 

Here's just a couple of ways Sure Action's WDS motion system benefits homeowners:

  • Driveway lights can automatically turn on for both cars and pedestrians using one piece of equipment.
  • Gates leaving property can open for vehicles and pedestrians, and security lighting can be turned on as a pedestrian or vehicle approaches the gar.
  • Landscape lighting can be triggered as people meander through a garden or other landscaped area.
  • Saves money and energy.  Lights can turn on as needed rather than using an automated timer saving energy.  Addressing both vehicles and pedestrians with one piece of equipment saves money.

 

More Specifics about Sure Action's Sensors for Lighting Applications:

Sure Action Stress Sensors (Pulsors)
Most outdoor lighting applications utilize the Enhanced Stress Sensors (ENHP+).   Installers must use an even number of sensors for outdoor applications.


Sure Action ENHP+ Motion Sensor
  • Enhanced Stress Sensors (ENHP+)
    Used for almost all deck and building applications.  
    •  ENHP+ - one Pulsor stress sensor
    • ENHP6+ - package of 6 Pulsor stress sensors
    • ENHP12+ - package of 12 Pulsor stress sensors
  • High-Performance Stress Sensors (HPP+)
    Used very rarely for deck or building applications.  Needed for extremely stiff building materials.

    • HPP+ - one High-Performance stress sensor
    • HPP6+ - package of 6 High Performance stress sensors
    • HPP12+ - package of 12 High Performance stress sensors
  • Processors - Needed for ENHP+ or HPP+ (Outdoor Applications such as roof or deck)
    MG111 or MG313 Processor.  The MG111 Processor has one zone.  The MG313 has three zones.  Up to 4 stress sensors can be wired per zone.

Wireless Driveway Alert System (Probe)
Sure Action's Battery-Operated Probes are a "must have" for installations where trenching is difficult or where the application is in a remote location.  Now in the 5th generation!

Sure Action Wireless Driveway Aert System While individual components are available for purchase and the processor can be paired with any transmitter, Sure Action has partnered with Innovonics, one of the leading names in wireless, to provide installers with a complete wireless driveway sensor option.

Benefits of a Wireless (Battery-Operated) System:

  • Superior RF resistance
  • High resistance to lightning and environmental conditions.
  • Increased profitability - decreases manpower and installation time.
  • 25-foot lead provided on all probes included in complete system  (If an application requires longer lead length, please request.  We honor custom orders.)
  • Ability to add a second driveway sensor to one system (P500 Series probe)
  • System responds only to moving ferrous metal.

Complete System includes a NEMA III enclosure that houses the transmitter, processor (conformal coated), and batteries.   The driveway sensor (probe) has a standard 25 foot lead.  A receiver, sounder, and power supply are supplied for inside a building.  The transmitter and receiver are pre-programmed.

NEMA III box should be mounted on a wooden post and should be as concealed as possible.  The transmitter included in the system is tested to 2,000 feet in open air (Line of sight at four feet above ground level.)  The system includes lithium batteries that enables to product to be used in all climates.

Packages:

  • WP5C - Complete Battery-Operated Probe System - WP5 Processor, Transmitter, Receiver, N3BOX, (2) 9VBL, P500 with 25' 22/2 shielded burial cable, 12 VDC5, CHIMEPLT (tested to 2,000 ft)

  • WP5B - Basic Battery-Operated Probe Package - WP5 Processor, P500 Probe with 25' 22/2 shielded burial cable, N3BOX, (2) 9VBL.  Chime and wireless equipment sold separately.

 

Directional Probe Driveway Alert
Sure Action's Direction Probe Driveway Alert Sensor enables installers to set up different responses depending on the direction a vehicle is travelling.  For example, an installer  can have lights turn on and a chime sound when a car enters a driveway, but only have the lights turn on as the car leaves the home.  Another example, directional probes can be used on long driveways to trigger lights so that only one section at a time lights as the car enter and leaves saving energy and money.
