Smallest motion sensor sensitivity can be adjusted
Claimed to be the world's smallest PIR (passive infrared) sensor, the MP Motion Sensor is now available in an analogue output model that enables sensitivity to be adjusted.
Rated at IP67 the EQ-500 is multi-voltage and will operate with a supply of 12-240V AC/DC.
Other benefits include a long sensing range of 0.2 to 2.5m and background suppression to eliminate triggering on objects that are outside the preset detection area.
The devices themselves automatically eliminate interference between adjacent sensors and the EQ-500 series is even able to produce consistent detection when the sensor's lens has become contaminated with dust or debris.
Typical applications include people detection for counting and for triggering actions like operating automatic doors.
In this case accurate sensing is guaranteed even for different coloured clothing or height variations.
The EQ-500 is available in 2 versions: standard or with a convenient timer function that allows ON/ OFF delays up to 5 seconds to be set.
Available accessories include a foot/ back angled mounting bracket.
