PIR Sensors

Position and sightlines are central to choosing a passive infrared sensor. PIR sensors detect changes in infrared energy associated with occupant movement, making the coverage pattern and mounting location important purchasing details for offices, restrooms and warehouse zones. Obstructions and the expected direction of travel affect how the detector sees the space. Within occupancy sensors, compare the chosen product's coverage at the intended height rather than relying on a maximum range alone. Confirm voltage, load or fixture compatibility and supported time-delay settings for the controlled lighting.
