Passive Infrared Motion Sensors - PaPIRs

Panasonic's Passive Infrared Sensors (PaPIRs) are available in different versions. The individual motion sensors differ, for example,in power consumption, output interfaces, and lenses. In addition, most of the digital sensors can be ordered with different threshold values, which influences not only the sensitivity but also the false alarm probability (e.g. those caused by air or temperature fluctuations). The requirements for motion detectors are often not clearly definable and are completely different depending on the type of installation and installation location.

An important factor is, for example, the difference in temperature between the object to be detected and the background. The size and the speed of the target object, the size and pattern of the PIR's detection zones, the direction of movement relative to the sensor can also strongly influence the sensor performance. What still often works in simple reference environments can cause problems in the field.

With our know-how we would like to support and accompany you during the development phase. Not sure which is the right sensor or the optimal optics for your application? Want to limit the detection range of a certain sensor and don't know how? Contact us and we can find a solution together.
