Abstract: A control system includes: a first human detector that detects the presence or absence of a human within a first detection range; a second human detector that has a second detection range that overlaps with the first detection range, and detects the presence or absence of a human within the second detection range; a determiner that has a plurality of determination modes for determining the presence or absence of a human; a transmitter that transmits a control signal to a control target based on a result of determination made by the determiner; and a load that receives the control signal and serves as the control target whose operation mode is switched according to the control signal. The determiner performs operation in a first determination mode for determining the presence or absence of a human based on at least a result of detection performed by the first human detector when the load is in a first operation mode, and performs operation in a second determination mode for determining the presence or absence of a human based on a result of detection performed by the second human detector when the load is in a second operation mode that is different from the first operation mode.
