Infrared PIR Motion Sensor Switch

An Infrared PIR Motion Sensor Switch is an electronic device that detects movement by sensing changes in infrared (IR) radiation in its field of view. “PIR” stands for Passive Infrared, meaning it doesn’t emit any energy itself but rather passively monitors the infrared radiation given off by objects. 🌡️

 

How it Works

At the core of a PIR sensor is a pyroelectric sensor, which is sensitive to heat (infrared radiation). Most PIR sensors have two halves, or “slots,” wired in a differential arrangement. Here’s a simplified breakdown of its operation:

  • Idle State: When there’s no movement, both halves of the sensor detect the same amount of ambient infrared radiation from the surroundings.
  • Motion Detection: When a warm object, like a human or animal, moves into the sensor’s field of view, it first intercepts one half of the sensor, creating a temporary difference in the infrared radiation detected by the two halves. This difference generates a voltage pulse.
  • Signal Processing: The sensor’s circuitry processes this voltage pulse. If the change is significant and matches the pattern of a moving heat source, the sensor triggers an output signal.
  • Fresnel Lens: A key component of a PIR sensor is the Fresnel lens . This specially designed plastic lens focuses infrared radiation from different angles onto the pyroelectric sensor, effectively dividing the detection area into multiple sensitive zones. This allows the sensor to have a wider field of view and detect movement more effectively.

Since PIR sensors only detect changes in infrared radiation, they are primarily sensitive to movement across their field of view rather than motion directly towards or away from them. They also cannot “see” through objects that block heat emissions.

 

Applications

PIR motion sensor switches are widely used in various applications due to their affordability, energy efficiency, and reliability:

  • Automatic Lighting Control: This is one of the most common applications. PIR sensors turn lights on when someone enters a room, hallway, or outdoor area and turn them off after a set period of no motion, saving energy.
  • Security Systems: They are integral to security alarms, detecting intruders and triggering alerts or security cameras.
  • Smart Home Systems: PIR sensors play a role in smart homes for automating various functions, from lighting and HVAC systems to controlling appliances based on occupancy.
  • Automatic Doors: In public buildings, they detect approaching individuals to automatically open doors.
  • Energy Management: By ensuring that lights, HVAC, and other devices only operate when an area is occupied, PIR sensors contribute significantly to energy savings in residential and commercial settings.
  • Wildlife Tracking and Research: Researchers use them to monitor animal movements without disturbance.

Infrared PIR Motion Sensor Switch

*DC 12 Volt

*2 Amp

An Infrared PIR (Passive Infrared) Motion Sensor Switch is an electronic device that detects movement by sensing infrared (IR) light emitted by warm objects, like humans. It’s commonly used in automatic lighting systems, security alarms, and other applications where motion detection is needed. When the sensor detects a change in infrared radiation (meaning movement), it triggers a connected device, like a light, to turn on. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
How it works:
  • Passive Infrared Detection:

    PIR sensors are “passive” because they don’t emit their infrared radiation. Instead, they detect the infrared radiation naturally emitted by objects with a temperature above absolute zero. 

  • Dual Sensors:

    Most PIR sensors have two infrared-sensitive elements (slots). These elements detect the infrared radiation from the environment. When a warm object (like a person) moves into the sensor’s field of view, the amount of infrared radiation detected by the two elements changes, creating a differential change that triggers the sensor. 

  • Detection Range:

    PIR sensors have a specific detection range and angle, often 120 degrees and up to 10 meters, depending on the model. 

  • Automatic Activation:

    When the sensor detects motion, it activates the connected device (e.g., turns on a light). 

  • Time Delay:

    Many PIR sensors also have an adjustable time delay, meaning the connected device will stay on for a set period after the motion is no longer detected, before automatically turning off. 

Common Applications:
  • Automatic Lighting:

    PIR sensors are widely used in automatic lighting systems for hallways, staircases, bathrooms, garages, and other areas where lights should turn on when someone enters. 

  • Security Systems:

    They are a key component in security systems, triggering alarms when motion is detected. 

  • Energy Saving:
    By automatically turning lights on and off, PIR sensors help conserve energy and reduce electricity costs.

Exit push button SQTPB601

*No Touch *Backlight *DC 12V *COM-NC-NO The Exit push button SQTPB601 is a wired exit push button used in access control systems. It's a device that allows individuals to exit a secured area by signaling the access control system to unlock a door or activate an exit mechanism. Here's a breakdown of what that means: Key Characteristics 🔑
  • Wired: Unlike wireless versions, the SQTPB601 requires a physical electrical connection to the access control system. This typically means running wires from the button to the door's locking mechanism or an access control panel.
  • Exit Button/Request to Exit (REX) Device: Its primary function is to provide a simple and reliable way for people inside a secured area to exit without needing credentials (like a key card or code).
  • Access Control Integration: It works in conjunction with an access control system (e.g., controlling an electric strike or magnetic lock) to manage who can enter and exit a building or specific area.
  • Momentary Action: When pressed, it typically sends a momentary signal to release the lock, and then the circuit returns to its normal state when the button is released.
  • Common Applications: You'll find these buttons in various commercial, industrial, and even residential settings where controlled access is desired, such as offices, warehouses, schools, and apartment buildings. They are crucial for safety, convenience, and compliance with building and fire codes that often require an unimpeded means of egress.
  How it Works ⚙️ When a person presses the SQTPB601 exit button:
  1. It sends an electrical signal to the connected access control system or directly to the door's locking mechanism.
  2. This signal temporarily disengages the lock (either a fail-safe or fail-secure lock), allowing the door to open.
  3. Once the button is released, the circuit returns to its normal state, and the lock re-engages, securing the door again.
  Importance in Security Systems 🔐 Exit push buttons like the SQTPB601 are vital components in a comprehensive security system because they:
  • Ensure Free Egress: They provide a guaranteed way for people to exit a building, even if the primary access control system fails or in an emergency.
  • Enhance Safety: In situations like fires or other emergencies, they allow for quick and unhindered evacuation.
  • Meet Compliance Standards: Many building and fire safety codes require a means of manual exit from secured areas.
  • User-Friendly: They offer a simple and intuitive way for anyone to exit a controlled space.

PIR Infrared Sensor – wireless

A wireless PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor is a type of motion detector that uses infrared technology to detect the presence and movement of people, animals, or other warm objects within its field of view, and then transmits this information wirelessly to a central control unit. Here's a breakdown of its key aspects: PIR (Passive Infrared) Technology:
  • Passive: The "passive" in PIR means the sensor does not emit any energy (like radar or ultrasonic sensors do). Instead, it "passively" detects the infrared radiation (heat energy) naturally emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero.
  • Infrared Detection: All living beings (humans, pets) and warm objects emit infrared radiation.
  • How it works: A PIR sensor typically has two sensing elements within its housing. When no motion is present, both elements detect the same amount of infrared radiation from the ambient environment. When a warm body moves across the sensor's field of view, it first enters one sensing element's range, causing a rapid change in the infrared energy detected by that element. As the body moves further, it then affects the second element. This differential change in infrared energy between the two elements is what the sensor interprets as motion.
  • Fresnel Lens: PIR sensors often have a specialized faceted lens (a Fresnel lens) on their front. This lens helps to focus the infrared radiation onto the sensing elements and creates multiple "detection zones" or "fingers" within the sensor's field of view, which increases its coverage and sensitivity.
Wireless Functionality:
  • No Wires for Communication: The "wireless" aspect means the sensor communicates with the alarm system's control panel (or receiver) using radio frequencies (RF) rather than physical wires.
  • Battery Powered: Wireless PIR sensors are usually battery-powered, making them easy to install anywhere without needing to run electrical wiring. The batteries typically last for a significant period (months to years) before needing replacement.
  • Transmitter: Each sensor has a small radio transmitter that sends a signal to the central alarm panel when motion is detected.
  • Receiver: The alarm control panel has a built-in or external wireless receiver that listens for signals from the PIR sensors (and other wireless sensors like door/window contacts).
Key Features and Benefits of Wireless PIR Infrared Sensors:
  • Easy Installation: No need for complex wiring, making DIY installation simpler and reducing labor costs for professional installers. This is a significant advantage in existing structures where running wires might be difficult or aesthetically unappealing.
  • Flexible Placement: Can be mounted virtually anywhere within their effective range of the control panel, providing versatile coverage.
  • Reduced False Alarms (Compared to Simple Motion Detectors): Because PIR sensors detect heat signatures, they are less likely to be triggered by non-living things like swaying curtains, blowing leaves, or shadows (though extreme drafts or sudden temperature changes can still be an issue if not properly installed).
  • Pet Immunity: Many wireless PIR sensors offer "pet immunity" features. These sensors are designed to ignore the infrared signatures of smaller animals (below a certain weight, e.g., 40 lbs or 80 lbs), helping to prevent false alarms in homes with pets. This is achieved by adjusting the sensor's lens and internal logic to focus on specific infrared patterns that are indicative of human-sized targets.
  • Energy Efficiency: As passive devices, they consume very little power, contributing to long battery life.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Ideal for protecting large areas or rooms, as a single sensor can cover a significant space.
  • Integration: Seamlessly integrate with smart home security systems, allowing for remote monitoring, alerts via smartphone apps, and sometimes even integration with other smart devices (e.g., turning on lights when motion is detected).
Common Applications:
  • Home Security Systems: Widely used indoors to detect intruders in living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and basements. Outdoor-rated versions are also available for perimeter protection.
  • Commercial Security Systems: Protecting offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and other commercial properties.
  • Automated Lighting: Activating lights in rooms, hallways, or outdoor areas when someone enters.
  • Smart Home Automation: Triggering various smart home routines based on occupancy (e.g., adjusting thermostat, playing music).
  • Access Control: Monitoring movement in restricted areas.
Considerations for Installation in Surrey, BC:
  • Placement: Proper placement is crucial to avoid false alarms. Avoid aiming them directly at heat sources (vents, radiators, direct sunlight, fireplaces), areas with strong drafts, or windows (especially those exposed to direct sun or busy outdoor activity).
  • Pet Immunity Settings: If you have pets, ensure the sensor has pet immunity and that it's set correctly for your pet's size and the sensor's mounting height.
  • Signal Range: Ensure the sensor is within the wireless range of your alarm panel, considering walls and other obstructions that might weaken the signal.
  • Battery Life: Be mindful of battery replacement schedules to ensure continuous operation.
In essence, a wireless PIR infrared sensor is an intelligent, easy-to-install motion detector that forms a crucial part of modern, flexible security and automation systems, detecting movement based on heat signatures and communicating wirelessly.

PIR Infrared Sensor – wired

A PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor is an electronic sensor that detects infrared (IR) light radiating from objects within its field of view. It's called "passive" because it doesn't emit any energy itself; instead, it passively monitors the existing infrared radiation in its surroundings. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit some level of infrared radiation, and the hotter an object, the more radiation it emits. PIR sensors are particularly effective at detecting the infrared radiation emitted by warm bodies, such as humans and animals.   How PIR Sensors Work At the core of a PIR sensor is a pyroelectric sensor, a material that generates an electrical charge when exposed to changes in infrared radiation. To detect motion, most PIR sensors use a dual-sensor design:
  1. Dual Elements: The pyroelectric sensor is typically divided into two halves or elements, wired in a way that they cancel each other out when no motion is detected. This means that if both halves receive the same amount of IR radiation (e.g., from the ambient room temperature), their signals balance, and no output is generated.
  2. Fresnel Lens: A Fresnel lens is often placed in front of the pyroelectric sensor. This special lens has multiple facets that help to focus infrared light from different angles onto the sensor elements, increasing its range and sensitivity, and creating distinct detection zones.
  3. Motion Detection: When a warm object, like a person, moves across the sensor's field of view, it first enters one detection zone (and thus one half of the pyroelectric sensor) and then the other. This causes a differential change in the amount of infrared radiation impinging on each half of the sensor. This difference in IR energy between the two halves creates an electrical signal.
  4. Signal Processing: The sensor's internal circuitry processes this change in voltage. If the change is significant enough (indicating a "moving heat source"), the sensor triggers an output signal.
This differential detection mechanism makes PIR sensors highly effective at detecting movement while being less prone to false alarms caused by slow, gradual temperature changes or general ambient light fluctuations. Applications of PIR infrared sensors PIR infrared sensors are widely used due to their effectiveness, low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and ease of integration. Common applications include:
  • Security Systems: The PIR infrared sensor are a fundamental component of burglar alarms and motion-activated security cameras, detecting intruders by their body heat.
  • Automatic Lighting: PIR infrared sensors are used in homes, offices, and public spaces to automatically turn lights on when someone enters a room or area and off when it's unoccupied, leading to energy savings.
  • Smart Home Automation: The PIR infrared sensor play a crucial role in smart homes, triggering various automated actions like adjusting thermostats, turning on appliances, or opening doors based on occupancy.
  • Automatic Doors: Many automatic door systems, like those found in shopping malls, use PIR sensors to detect approaching individuals and open the doors.
  • Industrial Monitoring: They can be used to monitor machinery movement or detect the presence of personnel in hazardous areas for safety purposes.
  • Wildlife Tracking and Research: Researchers use them to monitor animal movements unobtrusively.

Exit Wand Car Detector

An Exit Wand Car Detector, also known as a magnetometer or vehicle sensor, works by sensing changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by the movement of metal objects, specifically vehicles.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of how it operates:
  1. Magnetometer: The core of an exit wand is a magnetometer. This device is highly sensitive to variations in magnetic fields.
  2. Earth's Magnetic Field: The Earth naturally has a magnetic field surrounding it.
  3. Vehicle Movement: When a large mass of ferrous metal, like a car, truck, or even a heavy piece of metal equipment, moves through this magnetic field, it creates a disturbance or distortion in the field. Think of it like a boat creating waves as it moves through water.
  4. Detection: The exit wand's magnetometer picks up on these subtle "waves" or changes in the magnetic field as the vehicle passes by.
  5. Signal to Gate Opener: Once the changes are detected and exceed a certain threshold (which is often adjustable for sensitivity), the exit wand sends a signal to the gate opener's control board.
  6. Gate Activation: The gate opener, upon receiving this signal, then automatically opens the gate, allowing the vehicle to exit the property "hands-free" – without the need for a remote, keypad, or manual intervention.
Key Characteristics and Considerations:
  • Motion-Activated: A crucial point is that exit wands primarily detect moving metal. If a car is stopped directly over the wand, it may lose detection.
  • Buried Installation: Exit wands are typically buried underground, often alongside the driveway, making them discreet and protected from weather and accidental damage.
  • Sensitivity Adjustment: Most exit wands have an adjustable sensitivity. This allows you to fine-tune how easily it triggers, helping to prevent false alarms from smaller metal objects like bicycles or lawnmowers, or to ensure it detects vehicles at a desired range.
  • Wiring: Wired exit wands have a cable that connects the wand to the gate opener's control box. Wireless versions transmit the signal wirelessly to a receiver connected to the gate opener.
  • Not for Safety Loops: While they are excellent for automatic exit, exit wands are generally not recommended for use as safety loops. Safety loops (which are different, typically inductive loops buried in the driveway itself) are designed to detect any presence of metal, moving or stationary, to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle.
  • Limitations: They can sometimes be triggered by very large or fast-moving metal objects even if they are not cars. Also, if they are placed too close to the gate, they might experience false triggers.
In essence, an exit wand provides a convenient and reliable way for vehicles to automatically exit a property controlled by an automatic gate, leveraging the principle of magnetic field detection.

  • Safety Feature: When the beam is broken, the VDS-TEC2 sends a signal to the gate's control board. This triggers an action, most commonly preventing the gate from closing to avoid accidents or activating an alarm.
  • Applications: Its main application is in enhancing the safety of automated gates and doors in various settings, ensuring that they don't close on obstructions. It is compatible with different models of gate openers.
  • Technical Specifications:
    • Contacts: NO/NC (Normally Open/Normally Closed)
    • Power Supply: AC/DC 12-24 V
    • Receiving Range: Up to 15 meters (this range can be reduced in adverse weather conditions like fog, rain, or dust).
    • IP Rating: IP44 (meaning it's protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against splashing water from any direction).
  • Design: It's described as compact, lightweight, portable, and easy to use.
In essence, the VDS-TEC2 acts as a crucial safety mechanism to prevent accidents and damage in automated gate and door operations.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
  • Motor:
    A motor, powered by electricity (AC or DC), provides the force to move the gate. 
  • Control System:
    A control board receives signals from a remote control, keypad, or other access control system and activates the motor accordingly. 
  • Opening Mechanism:
    Depending on the type of swing gate opener, the mechanism can be a linear arm, an articulated arm, or an underground system. 
  • Safety Features:
    Many swing gate openers include safety features like obstruction detection, which stops the gate if it encounters an obstacle during opening or closing. 
  • Emergency Release:
    An emergency release mechanism allows manual operation of the gate in case of power failure. 
Types of Swing Gate Openers:
  • Linear Arm: These are the most common type, using a linear actuator to push or pull the gate. 
  • Articulated Arm: These use a hinged arm to move the gate, reducing strain on the hinges. 
  • Underground: The motor and mechanism are installed underground, providing a more discreet appearance. 
  • Dual Swing: These openers are designed for gates that swing open from the center. 
Benefits of using a swing gate opener:
  • Convenience: Automatic opening and closing of the gate with the press of a button or remote control.
  • Security: Prevents unauthorized access to the property.
  • Enhanced Property Value: Adds a layer of sophistication and security to the property.
  • Accessibility: Can be particularly useful for people with mobility issues.

Exit Push Button SQTPB701H

*No Touch *Backlight *DC 12V *COM-NC-NO
A wave exit push button, also known as a touchless exit button or wave-to-exit switch, is a device that allows users to open a door without physically touching it.
It uses motion sensing technology, typically infrared or microwave, to detect a hand gesture and trigger the door to open. This provides a more hygienic and convenient way to exit a space, especially in environments where minimizing physical contact is desirable. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Functionality:
  • Touchless Activation:
    The core function is to activate a door release mechanism (like a magnetic lock or strike) with a simple wave of the hand. 
  • Motion Sensing:
    Wave exit buttons utilize sensors (infrared or microwave) to detect the movement of a hand or object in front of the device. 
  • Contactless Exit:
    This eliminates the need to physically push a button, reducing the spread of germs and providing a more hygienic exit solution. 
Common Applications:
  • Healthcare facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and laboratories where hygiene is paramount. 
  • Food service and preparation areas: Restaurants and kitchens where cleanliness is crucial. 
  • High-traffic areas: Office buildings, schools, and public spaces where many people need to exit frequently. 
  • Disabled access: Provides a convenient and accessible way for individuals with mobility limitations to exit. 
Benefits:
  • Hygiene:
    Reduces the risk of spreading germs and viruses by eliminating the need to touch a button. 
  • Convenience:
    Allows for hands-free operation, making it easier to exit with arms full or for individuals with mobility limitations. 
  • Durability:
    Often more durable than traditional push buttons due to fewer moving parts. 
  • Accessibility:
    Provides a more inclusive exit solution for all individuals.
