Motion detector

What should be considered with motion detectors?

Purchase:

Before buying a motion detector should consider where and for what it will be used. Considering the technical data and other important information (eg, warranty conditions), the appropriate model is selected.

Assembly:

For the motion detector to function optimally, the following instructions should be observed.

• With tangential movement (transverse), a very large number of zones are traversed. The IR sensors achieve large ranges.
  
• In the case of radial movement (towards the sensor), zones are only crossed very late, which results in significantly reduced ranges.
• Since the detector divides the detection area into different sectors, positioning plays a major role. The motion detector should be installed in such a way that as many zones as possible are passed through during everyday movements in order to achieve optimum functionality.
• The higher the motion detector is mounted, the larger the detection area becomes: However, as the passive and active areas of the sensor become larger with increasing height, the sensitivity decreases sharply.
• Objects moving in the wind should be considered before mounting.
• Wärmequellen, wie z.B. Heizungen oder Klimaanlagen sollten vermieden werden
• Infrarot-Bewegungsmelder schalten bis zu einer Temperatur von -25° Celsius zuverlässig

Settings:

You should also customize your motion detector in terms of range, twilight settings and time so that it can function optimally according to your preferences.

Care:

The surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth (without detergent) when dirty.
