In addition, the light emitting diode 6 a can also display the reception state of the signal reception unit 3 in the system 30 and the like.
　回路部１６は、手動操作部２ａ１で押駆動される操作子２ａｃを有する第１操作スイッチ２ａのスイッチ本体２ａａを、第１の回路基板１６ａに実装している。回路部１６は、点灯保持時間設定部７ａを構成するボリュームなどを、第１の回路基板１６ａに実装している。回路部１６は、点灯保持時間設定部７ａを通じて、照明負荷４２の点灯保持時間を設定できる。回路部１６は、明るさセンサ調整部７ｂを構成するロータリボリュームなどを、第１の回路基板１６ａに実装している。回路部１６は、明るさセンサ調整部７ｂを通じて、明るさセンサ１ｓが検知する明るさの感度を設定できる。スイッチ親器１０は、回路部１６を器体１１に収納している。 The circuit unit 16 mounts on the first circuit board 16 a the switch body 2 aa of the first operation switch 2 a having the operation element 2 ac pressed and driven by the manual operation unit 2 a 1. The circuit unit 16 mounts a volume and the like constituting the lighting holding time setting unit 7a on the first circuit board 16a. The circuit unit 16 can set the lighting holding time of the illumination load 42 through the lighting holding time setting unit 7a. The circuit unit 16 mounts a rotary volume or the like constituting the brightness sensor adjustment unit 7b on the first circuit board 16a. The circuit unit 16 can set the sensitivity of the brightness detected by the brightness sensor 1s through the brightness sensor adjustment unit 7b. The switch parent 10 accommodates the circuit portion 16 in the housing 11.
　スイッチ親器１０は、手動操作部２ａ１の押圧により、器体１１の内部側に撓んだ撓み部１１ｂｒがスイッチ本体２ａａの操作子２ａｃを押駆動する。 In the switch parent 10, the flexible portion 11br bent to the inside of the housing 11 pushes and drives the operation element 2ac of the switch main body 2aa when the manual operation portion 2a1 is pressed.
　点灯保持時間設定部７ａは、たとえば、ボリュームの操作軸を回転するための第１ツマミ７ａ１を備えている。点灯保持時間設定部７ａは、器体１１の第３窓孔１１ｂｈを介して、点灯保持時間設定部７ａの第１ツマミ７ａ１を器体１１の第１表面１１ｂｐ側に突出させている。点灯保持時間設定部７ａは、自動点灯消灯モードにおいて、照明負荷４２を点灯させる点灯保持時間を設定可能に構成している。スイッチ親器１０は、プレート９の第２表面９ａｂと略同一面に設置された手動操作部２ａ１を取り外すと、設定操作部７が露出する。 The lighting holding time setting unit 7a includes, for example, a first knob 7a1 for rotating the operation axis of the volume. The lighting holding time setting unit 7 a causes the first knob 7 a 1 of the lighting holding time setting unit 7 a to protrude toward the first surface 11 bp of the housing 11 through the third window hole 11 b h of the housing 11. The lighting holding time setting unit 7a is configured to be able to set a lighting holding time for lighting the illumination load 42 in the automatic lighting on / off mode. In the switch parent 10, when the manual operation unit 2a1 installed on substantially the same surface as the second surface 9ab of the plate 9 is removed, the setting operation unit 7 is exposed.
　スイッチ親器１０は、たとえば、１０秒から３０分までの範囲や３０秒から３０分までの範囲で点灯保持時間を適宜に設定することができる。スイッチ親器１０は、点灯保持時間設定部７ａにより、照明負荷４２の点灯保持時間を適宜に調整することが可能となる。明るさセンサ調整部７ｂは、たとえば、ロータリボリュームの操作軸を回転するための第２ツマミ７ｂ１を備えている。明るさセンサ調整部７ｂは、器体１１の第４窓孔１１ｂｉを介して、明るさセンサ調整部７ｂの第２ツマミ７ｂ１を器体１１の第１表面１１ｂｐ側に突出させている。明るさセンサ調整部７ｂは、たとえば、明るさセンサ１ｓの明るさ感度レベルを「暗め」から「明るめ」までの範囲で設定することができる。明るさ感度レベルの「暗め」としては、たとえば、５ルクス以下とすることができる。明るさ感度レベルの「明るめ」としては、たとえば、１００ルクス以上とすることができる。スイッチ親器１０の制御部４は、たとえば、明るさセンサ調整部７ｂを「切」に設定すると、明るさセンサ１ｓの機能を停止させることができる。スイッチ親器１０は、明るさセンサ調整部７ｂを「切」に設定した場合、スイッチ親器１０の周囲が明るいときに宅内の照明負荷４２を点灯させることを防止することが可能となる。スイッチ親器１０は、周囲が明るいときに宅内の照明負荷４２を点灯させることを防止し、省エネルギ化を図ることが可能となる。 For example, the switch parent device 10 can appropriately set the lighting holding time in the range of 10 seconds to 30 minutes or in the range of 30 seconds to 30 minutes. The switch parent device 10 can appropriately adjust the lighting holding time of the illumination load 42 by the lighting holding time setting unit 7a. The brightness sensor adjustment unit 7b includes, for example, a second knob 7b1 for rotating the operation axis of the rotary volume. The brightness sensor adjustment unit 7 b causes the second knob 7 b 1 of the brightness sensor adjustment unit 7 b to protrude toward the first surface 11 bp of the housing 11 via the fourth window hole 11 bi of the housing 11. For example, the brightness sensor adjusting unit 7 b can set the brightness sensitivity level of the brightness sensor 1 s in the range from “dark” to “bright”. As "darkening" of the brightness sensitivity level, for example, it can be 5 lux or less. The "brightness" of the brightness sensitivity level can be, for example, 100 lux or more. For example, when the brightness sensor adjustment unit 7 b is set to “off”, the control unit 4 of the switch parent 10 can stop the function of the brightness sensor 1 s. When the brightness sensor adjustment unit 7 b is set to “off”, the switch parent 10 can prevent the lighting load 42 in the home from lighting up when the surroundings of the switch parent 10 are bright. The switch parent 10 prevents the lighting load 42 in the home from being lit when the surroundings are bright, and energy saving can be achieved.
　スイッチ親器１０は、たとえば、明るさセンサ調整部７ｂで、明るさのしきい値を調整することにより、結果として、熱線センサ部１が人の存在の有無を検知する検出感度が設定されたのと同様の効果を得ることができる。すなわち、スイッチ親器１０では、明るさセンサ調整部７ｂは、熱線センサ部１の検出感度を設定する設定操作部７を構成する。なお、スイッチ親器１０は、熱線センサ部１の検出感度を直接的に調整して設定する設定操作部７を備えていてもよい。スイッチ親器１０は、たとえば、設定操作部７に基づいて熱線センサ部１で検出した熱線の変化量を増幅する際の増幅度を調整することで、熱線センサ部１の検出感度を直接的に調整することができる。 For example, the switch parent 10 adjusts the threshold of the brightness by the brightness sensor adjustment unit 7b, and as a result, the detection sensitivity with which the heat ray sensor unit 1 detects the presence or absence of a person is set. The same effect can be obtained. That is, in the switch parent 10, the brightness sensor adjustment unit 7b configures the setting operation unit 7 that sets the detection sensitivity of the heat ray sensor unit 1. The switch parent 10 may include a setting operation unit 7 that directly adjusts and sets the detection sensitivity of the heat ray sensor unit 1. The switch parent 10 directly adjusts the detection sensitivity of the heat ray sensor unit 1 by, for example, adjusting the amplification factor at the time of amplifying the variation of the heat ray detected by the heat ray sensor unit 1 based on the setting operation unit 7. It can be adjusted.
　次に、スイッチ親器１０の動作について、図１５を用いて詳述する。 Next, the operation of the switch parent 10 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
　スイッチ親器１０は、自動点灯消灯モードの場合、熱線センサ部１が熱線の変化を時刻ｔ1で検出すると、熱線センサ部１がセンサ信号を出力する。スイッチ親器１０は、自動点灯消灯モードの場合、モード表示部６において、「自動」を表示させている。スイッチ親器１０は、熱線センサ部１からのセンサ信号に基づいて、制御部４が開閉器５を制御させて照明負荷４２を点灯状態にさせる。スイッチ親器１０では、制御部４のタイマ部が熱線センサ部１からのセンサ信号を受信してから所定の時間が経過するまでカウンタの値を徐々に少なくする。所定の時間は、図１５の時刻ｔ1から時刻ｔ2を参照。スイッチ親器１０は、タイマ部のカウンタの値が「０」になる時刻ｔ2後、制御部４が開閉器５を制御させて照明負荷４２を消灯状態にする。言い換えれば、スイッチ親器１０は、予め設定した点灯保持時間が経過するまで、照明負荷４２を点灯させる。 Switch main unit 10, when the automatic On Off mode, the hot wire sensor unit 1 detects a change of the heat ray at time t 1, a heat ray sensor 1 outputs a sensor signal. The switch parent 10 causes the mode display unit 6 to display “automatic” in the case of the automatic lighting on / off mode. In the switch parent 10, based on the sensor signal from the heat ray sensor unit 1, the control unit 4 controls the switch 5 to turn on the lighting load 42. In the switch parent 10, after the timer unit of the control unit 4 receives the sensor signal from the heat ray sensor unit 1, the value of the counter is gradually decreased until a predetermined time passes. The predetermined time, the reference time t 2 from time t 1 in FIG. 15. Switch main unit 10 after the time t 2 the value of the counter of the timer section becomes "0", the control unit 4 is in unlit state lighting load 42 by controlling the switch 5. In other words, the switch parent 10 lights the illumination load 42 until the preset lighting holding time elapses.
　次に、スイッチ親器１０では、自動点灯消灯モードの場合、時刻ｔ1と同様に、熱線センサ部１が熱線の変化を時刻ｔ3で検出すると、熱線センサ部１がセンサ信号を出力する。スイッチ親器１０は、熱線センサ部１からのセンサ信号に基づいて、制御部４が開閉器５を制御させて照明負荷４２を点灯状態にさせる。スイッチ親器１０は、自動点灯消灯モードの場合、照明負荷４２が点灯状態において、操作子器２０から照明負荷４２を消灯させる伝達信号を時刻ｔ4で信号受信部３が受信すると、照明負荷４２を点灯する点灯保持時間を短縮する。スイッチ親器１０は、熱線センサ部１からのセンサ信号により制御部４が照明負荷４２を点灯状態にする時刻ｔ3からタイマ部のカウンタの値が「０」になる時刻ｔ5よりも前の時刻ｔ4で、制御部４が開閉器５を制御させて照明負荷４２を消灯状態にする。すなわち、スイッチ親器１０は、時刻ｔ3から時刻ｔ5までの点灯保持時間を、時刻ｔ3から時刻ｔ4までに短縮している。 Next, the switch main unit 10, when the automatic lighting off mode, similarly to the time t 1, when the heat ray sensor 1 detects a change of the heat ray at time t 3, a heat ray sensor 1 outputs a sensor signal. In the switch parent 10, based on the sensor signal from the heat ray sensor unit 1, the control unit 4 controls the switch 5 to turn on the lighting load 42. Switch main unit 10 in the case of the automatic lighting off mode, in the lighting load 42 is lit, when receiving the signal receiver 3 at time t 4 a transmission signal for turning off the lighting load 42 from the operating element 20, the lighting load 42 Reduce the lighting hold time to light the. Switch main unit 10, from the time t 3 when the control unit 4 by a sensor signal from the hot wire sensor unit 1 to the lighting state lighting load 42 by the timer counter value than the time t 5 becomes "0" before the at time t 4, the control unit 4 is in unlit state lighting load 42 by controlling the switch 5. That is, the switch main unit 10, the lighting holding time from time t 3 to time t 5, is reduced to from time t 3 to time t 4.
　また、スイッチ親器１０は、操作子器２０から照明負荷４２を消灯させる伝達信号を信号受信部３が受信すると、熱線センサ部１からのセンサ信号による照明負荷４２の点灯を所定の期間の間、禁止するマスク期間１Ｍを設けている。スイッチ親器１０は、所定の期間として、たとえば、５秒のマスク期間１Ｍを制御部４に設定することができる。スイッチ親器１０は、マスク期間１Ｍの間、照明負荷４２の消灯状態を維持する。スイッチ親器１０は、たとえば、照明負荷４２を消灯状態にした時刻ｔ4から時刻ｔ7までのマスク期間１Ｍ中において、時刻ｔ6で熱線センサ部１からセンサ信号を制御部４が受けても照明負荷４２の消灯状態を継続させる。スイッチ親器１０では、消灯状態を継続させる場合、たとえば、モード表示部６において、「切」を表示させることができる。スイッチ親器１０は、時刻ｔ7でマスク期間１Ｍの経過後、熱線センサ部１からのセンサ信号に応じて照明負荷４２を点灯可能なように自動点灯消灯モードに復帰する。スイッチ親器１０では、自動点灯消灯モードに復帰に伴い、モード表示部６において、再び「自動」を表示させることができる。 In addition, when the signal reception unit 3 receives a transmission signal for turning off the illumination load 42 from the operation unit 20, the switch parent 10 causes the illumination load 42 to be lit by the sensor signal from the heat ray sensor unit 1 for a predetermined period. The mask period 1M to prohibit is provided. The switch parent 10 can set, for example, a masking period 1M of 5 seconds in the control unit 4 as the predetermined period. The switch parent 10 keeps the lighting load 42 turned off during the mask period 1M. Switch main unit 10, for example, in the mask period 1M in from time t 4 when the illumination load 42 to off state until time t 7, even under the hot wire sensor unit 1 a sensor signal the control unit 4 at time t 6 The lighting load 42 is kept off. In the switch parent 10, when the light off state is continued, “off” can be displayed on the mode display unit 6, for example. Switch main unit 10, after a mask period 1M at time t 7, it returns to the automatic lighting off mode to allow light the lighting load 42 in response to the sensor signal from the hot wire sensor unit 1. In the switch parent 10, “automatic” can be displayed again on the mode display unit 6 when the automatic lighting on / off mode is restored.
　なお、スイッチ親器１０は、第１操作スイッチ２ａが操作される度に、連続点灯モードと、自動点灯消灯モードと、強制消灯モードとを切り替える。モード表示部６は、連続点灯モードで「連続入」を表示する。モード表示部６は、自動点灯消灯モードで「自動」を表示する。モード表示部６は、強制消灯モードで「切」を表示する。スイッチ親器１０では、動作モードの切り替えに応じて、「切」、「自動」、「連続入」の順で各モードを遷移させることを繰り返している。 The switch parent 10 switches the continuous lighting mode, the automatic lighting on / off mode, and the forced lighting off mode each time the first operation switch 2a is operated. The mode display unit 6 displays “continuous on” in the continuous lighting mode. The mode display unit 6 displays "automatic" in the automatic on / off mode. The mode display unit 6 displays “off” in the forced off mode. In the switch parent 10, transition of each mode is repeated in the order of “off”, “automatic”, and “continuous on” according to the switching of the operation mode.
　システム３０は、たとえば、熱線センサ部１の検知エリア内に操作子器２０が設けられていても、操作子器２０を人が操作して照明負荷４２を消すことができる。また、システム３０は、自動点灯消灯モードにおいて、照明負荷４２を点灯する点灯保持時間を短縮する。システム３０は、熱線センサ部１が操作子器２０を操作する人を検知して照明負荷４２を点灯することなく、省エネルギ化を図ることが可能となる。 In the system 30, for example, even when the operation sub-unit 20 is provided in the detection area of the heat ray sensor unit 1, a person can operate the operation sub-unit 20 to turn off the illumination load 42. In addition, the system 30 shortens the lighting holding time for lighting the lighting load 42 in the automatic lighting on / off mode. The system 30 can save energy without the heat ray sensor unit 1 detecting a person who operates the operation device 20 and lighting the illumination load 42.
　操作子器２０は、スイッチ親器１０を操作可能に構成している。操作子器２０は、スイッチ親器１０を制御する伝達信号を送信してスイッチ親器１０を操作する。操作子器２０は、スイッチ親器１０を制御する伝達信号を送信できればよい。したがって、操作子器２０は、手動にて操作された第２操作スイッチ２２ａのオン／オフ操作を判別する第２入力判別部２２と、第２入力判別部２２からの操作信号に基づいて信号送信部２３を制御する子器制御部２４とを備えた構成とすることができる。操作子器２０は、第２入力判別部２２からの操作信号に基づいて、スイッチ親器１０へ伝達信号を送信する信号送信部２３を制御する子器制御部２４を備えていてもよい。操作子器２０は、有線で伝達信号をスイッチ親器１０へ送信してもよいし、無線で伝達信号をスイッチ親器１０へ送信してもよい。システム３０では、たとえば、スイッチ親器１０から離れた人が操作子器２０を操作することで、照明負荷４２側への給電および給電の停止を行うことができる。スイッチ親器１０は、たとえば、内部の信号受信部３が操作子器２０からの伝達信号を受信し、制御部４が、操作子器２０からの伝達信号に基づき照明負荷４２側への給電と給電の停止とを切替える。 The operation child device 20 configures the switch parent device 10 so as to be operable. The operation slave unit 20 transmits a transmission signal for controlling the switch parent 10 and operates the switch parent 10. The manipulator 20 only needs to be able to transmit a transmission signal for controlling the switch parent 10. Therefore, the control sub-unit 20 transmits a signal based on the operation signal from the second input determination unit 22 that determines the on / off operation of the second operation switch 22a operated manually, and the second input determination unit 22. A slave control unit 24 that controls the unit 23 can be provided. The operation sub-unit 20 may include a sub-unit control unit 24 that controls the signal transmission unit 23 that transmits the transmission signal to the switch parent 10 based on the operation signal from the second input determination unit 22. The control sub-unit 20 may transmit the transmission signal to the switch parent 10 by wire, and may transmit the transmission signal to the switch parent 10 wirelessly. In the system 30, for example, when a person away from the switch parent 10 operates the operation sub-unit 20, power supply to the lighting load 42 side and power supply stop can be performed. In the switch parent 10, for example, the internal signal receiver 3 receives the transmission signal from the operator 20, and the controller 4 supplies power to the lighting load 42 based on the transmission signal from the operator 20. It switches with the stop of feeding.
　以下、スイッチ親器１０に用いられる各構成について、より詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, each configuration used for the switch parent 10 will be described in more detail.
　熱線センサ部１は、人体の存在の有無を検知可能としている。スイッチ親器１０は、人体の存在の有無に基づいて、照明負荷４２への給電と給電の停止とを行うために、人感センサなどの熱線センサ部１を備えている。熱線センサ部１は、たとえば、人体からの熱線である赤外線のエネルギを検出することにより人体の存在を検知する赤外線センサを用いることができる。熱線センサ部１は、随時に赤外線を検出する構成でもよいし、設定時間ごとに赤外線を検出する構成としてもよい。赤外線センサは、たとえば、焦電素子などを有するセンサ素子１ａを備えた構成とすればよい。熱線センサ部１は、たとえば、フォトレジスタやフォトダイオードなどの明るさセンサ１ｓと一体に構成し、明るさセンサ１ｓによって周囲の明るさを検知可能に構成してもよい。熱線センサ部１は、回路部１６の第１の回路基板１６ａに、センサ素子１ａを実装することができる。熱線センサ部１は、所定の視野角を確保するために第１操作スイッチ２ａの正面よりも突出した突出部位１ｋを備えている。 The heat ray sensor unit 1 can detect the presence or absence of a human body. The switch parent 10 is provided with a heat ray sensor unit 1 such as a human sensor in order to supply power to the illumination load 42 and stop power supply based on the presence or absence of a human body. The heat ray sensor unit 1 can use, for example, an infrared sensor that detects the presence of a human body by detecting the energy of infrared rays that are heat rays from the human body. The heat ray sensor unit 1 may be configured to detect infrared rays as needed, or may be configured to detect infrared rays every set time. The infrared sensor may be configured to include, for example, a sensor element 1a having a pyroelectric element or the like. For example, the heat ray sensor unit 1 may be integrated with a brightness sensor 1s such as a photo resistor or a photodiode so that the brightness sensor 1 s can detect ambient brightness. The heat ray sensor unit 1 can mount the sensor element 1 a on the first circuit board 16 a of the circuit unit 16. The heat ray sensor unit 1 is provided with a projecting portion 1k which protrudes from the front of the first operation switch 2a in order to secure a predetermined viewing angle.
　第１入力判別部２は、第１操作スイッチ２ａからの出力信号が入力されるように構成している。第１入力判別部２は、第１操作スイッチ２ａが操作されたか否かが判別できればよい。したがって、第１入力判別部２は、制御部４内に設けることもできる。第１操作スイッチ２ａは、手動操作部２ａ１が手動にて押されることにより、スイッチ本体２ａａのスイッチ動作を行うことが可能に構成している。すなわち、手動操作部２ａ１やスイッチ本体２ａａは、第１操作スイッチ２ａの一部を構成している。第１入力判別部２は、第１操作スイッチ２ａからの出力信号が入力される。第１入力判別部２は、第１操作スイッチ２ａのスイッチ動作により、オン／オフ操作を判断可能な構成とすることができる。第１操作スイッチ２ａは、手動にて押される手動操作部２ａ１を備えている。第１操作スイッチ２ａは、手動操作部２ａ１の一端部が器体１１側に支持され他端部が揺動自在に押操作可能なピアノハンドルとしている。 The first input determination unit 2 is configured to receive an output signal from the first operation switch 2a. The first input determination unit 2 only needs to be able to determine whether or not the first operation switch 2a has been operated. Therefore, the first input determination unit 2 can also be provided in the control unit 4. The first operation switch 2a is configured to be capable of performing a switch operation of the switch main body 2aa by manually pressing the manual operation unit 2a1. That is, the manual operation unit 2a1 and the switch body 2aa constitute a part of the first operation switch 2a. The first input determination unit 2 receives an output signal from the first operation switch 2a. The first input determination unit 2 can be configured to be able to determine the on / off operation by the switch operation of the first operation switch 2a. The first operation switch 2a includes a manual operation unit 2a1 which is manually pressed. The first operation switch 2a is a piano handle that supports one end of the manual operation unit 2a1 on the side of the body 11 and allows the other end to be pivotably pushed.
　手動操作部２ａ１は、手動にて押される操作スイッチ２ａの一部を構成している。手動操作部２ａ１は、蓋部２ｇ、ハンドル部２ｆ、カバー体１１ｂを用いて構成することができる。蓋部２ｇは、押圧操作される一表面２ａｂ側に設けられた表板２ｇ１と、カバー体１１ｂ側に設けられた裏板２ｇ２とを備えて構成することができる。表板２ｇ１は、透光性を有しカバー体１１ｂ側に突出する導光部材６ａａと一体的に形成することができる。手動操作部２ａ１は、モード表示部６を構成する導光部材６ａａと表板２ｇ１とを一体的に形成する構成だけに限られない。手動操作部２ａ１は、導光部材６ａａと表板２ｇ１とを別体として形成した構成でもよい。手動操作部２ａ１は、熱線センサ部１の突出部位１ｋと重なるように設けられた取手部２ａ２を備えていることが好ましい。取手部２ａ２は、指を引き掛けて蓋部２ｇの取り外しを行い易いように引掛凹所２ａ３を設けていることが好ましい。 The manual operation unit 2a1 constitutes a part of the operation switch 2a which is manually pressed. The manual operation unit 2a1 can be configured using a lid 2g, a handle 2f, and a cover 11b. The lid portion 2g can be configured to include a front plate 2g1 provided on the side of the one surface 2ab to be pressed and a back plate 2g2 provided on the cover body 11b side. The front plate 2g1 can be integrally formed with the light guide member 6aa having the light transmitting property and protruding toward the cover body 11b. The manual operation unit 2a1 is not limited to the configuration in which the light guide member 6aa forming the mode display unit 6 and the front plate 2g1 are integrally formed. The manual operation unit 2a1 may have a configuration in which the light guide member 6aa and the front plate 2g1 are separately formed. Preferably, the manual operation unit 2a1 includes a handle 2a2 provided so as to overlap with the protruding portion 1k of the heat ray sensor unit 1. It is preferable that the handle portion 2a2 is provided with a hook recess 2a3 so that the cover portion 2g can be easily removed by pulling a finger.
　制御部４は、少なくとも熱線センサ部１からのセンサ信号と、第１入力判別部２からの判別信号と、信号受信部３が受信した伝達信号とに基づいて照明負荷４２の点灯／消灯の制御が可能としている。制御部４は、給電側と照明負荷４２側との間の電気的な接続と電気的な接続解除とを行うように制御する。制御部４は、相補的な２個のサイリスタを逆並列に接続する双方向サイリスタなどの半導体スイッチ素子の導通および非導通を制御する機能を有している。また、制御部４は、手動操作部２ａ１への押操作により、スイッチ親器１０において、連続点灯モードと、自動点灯消灯モードと、強制消灯モードとの各モードを切り替え、モード表示部６の各発光ダイオード６ａを点灯制御する。制御部４は、たとえば、ＣＰＵ（Central Processing Unit）を備えたマイクロコンピュータなどを用いて構成することができる。 The control unit 4 controls lighting / extinguishing of the illumination load 42 based on at least the sensor signal from the heat ray sensor unit 1, the determination signal from the first input determination unit 2, and the transmission signal received by the signal receiving unit 3. Is possible. The control unit 4 performs control so as to perform the electrical connection and the electrical disconnection between the power supply side and the lighting load 42 side. The control unit 4 has a function of controlling conduction and non-conduction of a semiconductor switch element such as a bidirectional thyristor which connects two complementary thyristors in anti-parallel.
