Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a PIR motion sensor and how does this outdoor model work?
A: A PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor detects changes in infrared radiation — essentially body heat — emitted by people moving within its field of view. This wall-mounted outdoor model is designed for long-range detection at a recommended installation height of approximately 3.5 m. It features adjustable sensitivity settings for ambient light (<5 lux to daylight) and customisable output duration (7 seconds to 8 minutes), making it adaptable to a wide range of outdoor security and automation applications.
Q: Is this PIR sensor suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?
A: Yes. This PIR sensor features a waterproof, weather-resistant housing specifically designed for outdoor installation. It can withstand rain and splashes, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use on walls, fences, entryways, driveways, and building perimeters.
Q: Can I adjust the detection sensitivity and duration on this sensor?
A: Absolutely. The sensor offers adjustable ambient light sensitivity (from <5 lux up to full daylight conditions) and an adjustable output duration ranging from 7 seconds to 8 minutes. This allows you to fine-tune the sensor's behaviour to match your specific security lighting or automation requirements.
Q: What is the detected movement speed range for this sensor?
A: This PIR sensor is calibrated to detect human movement at speeds between 0.6 and 1.5 m/s — the typical walking or jogging pace — ensuring accurate detection of people while helping to reduce false triggers from other sources.
