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.

Door Strike Lock

An electric strike is an electromechanical lock release device that replaces a standard door strike plate.
It allows a door to be opened remotely, typically via an access control system, without manually retracting the latch. When activated, the electric strike releases the latch, enabling the door to be opened. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Functionality:
  • Replaces Standard Strike:
    Electric strikes are installed in the door frame, taking the place of the standard strike plate. 
  • Remote Release:
    They are designed to work with various access control systems, such as keypads, card readers, or intercoms. 
  • Activation:
    When an authorized signal is received (e.g., a code is entered, a card is swiped), the electric strike releases the latch, allowing the door to be opened. 
  • Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure:
    Electric strikes can be configured in either a fail-safe or fail-secure mode. 
    • Fail-safe: In this mode, the door unlocks when power is lost, making it suitable for safety applications where access is needed during power outages. 
    • Fail-secure: In this mode, the door remains locked when power is lost, requiring power to unlock, making it suitable for high-security applications. 
How it Works:
  • The electric strike contains a solenoid, which is an electromagnet.
  • When the solenoid is activated by an electrical signal, it moves a component (like an armature) that allows the latch to move freely.
  • This movement releases the door, allowing it to be opened. 
Key Differences from Other Locks:
  • Electric vs. Magnetic Locks:
    Unlike magnetic locks, which use powerful magnets to hold the door closed, electric strikes release the latch mechanism. 
  • Remote Access:
    Electric strikes offer remote access control, allowing doors to be unlocked without manual intervention. 
  • Versatility:
    They can be used with various locking mechanisms, including cylindrical, mortise, and rim exit devices. 
Common Applications:
  • Access Control:
    Electric strikes are a core component of access control systems in commercial and residential settings. 
  • Security:
    They provide a higher level of security compared to standard locks, especially when used with fail-secure configurations. 
  • Safety:
    In fail-safe configurations, they ensure safe egress during emergencies. 
  • Specific Areas:
    They are commonly found in reception areas, daycare centers, and other locations where controlled access is needed.

Gate operator main control board – Key Automation

A swing gate operator's main control board is the "brain" of the system, responsible for managing all the functions of the gate opener.
It receives signals from various input devices like remote controls, keypads, and safety sensors, and then directs the gate motor to open or close the gate accordingly. The control board also manages other aspects of the gate operation, such as adjusting speed, setting timers, and implementing safety features. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Central Control:
    The control board acts as the central hub for all gate operations. 
  • Signal Processing:
    It receives signals from different devices (remote, keypad, safety sensors). 
  • Motor Activation:
    Based on the received signal, the control board sends instructions to the motor to open or close the gate. 
  • Adjustable Settings:
    Many control boards allow for adjustments to gate speed, opening/closing times, and safety settings. 
  • Safety Features:
    Some control boards manage security features like locking mechanisms and safety protocols. 
  • Power Supply:
    The control board is usually powered by a specific voltage (e.g., 120 volts) and may have an output voltage for powering other accessories. 
  • Internal Receiver:
    Some control boards have built-in radio receivers for remote control operation.

Safety Sensor S300

A gate opener safety sensor is a crucial component of automated gate systems designed to prevent accidents and damage by detecting obstructions in the gate's path.
These sensors, often photoelectric, use an infrared beam to monitor the area and trigger the gate to stop or reverse if something is blocking its movement. 
How it works:
  • Transmitter and Receiver:
    A safety sensor typically consists of a transmitter that emits an infrared light beam and a receiver that detects the beam.
  • Obstruction Detection:
    When an object, person, or vehicle interrupts the beam, the receiver signals the gate operator to stop or reverse the gate's movement.
  • Safety Feature:
    This mechanism prevents the gate from closing on anything or anyone, ensuring safety and preventing potential damage. 
Types of Safety Sensors:
  • Photoelectric Sensors (Photo Eyes):
    These are the most common type, using an infrared beam to detect obstructions. 
  • Safety Edges:
    These sensors are typically placed along the edge of the gate and trigger a stop or reverse when they encounter pressure. 
  • Induction Loops:
    These sensors are embedded in the ground and detect vehicles as they pass over them, triggering the gate to open or close. 
Importance:
  • Safety:
    The primary function is to prevent accidents and injuries by stopping or reversing the gate when an obstruction is present. 
  • Preventing Damage:
    By detecting obstructions, these sensors help avoid damage to the gate, vehicles, or anything else in its path. 
  • Compliance:
    Safety sensors are often required for automated gates to meet safety regulations and standards. 
Common Issues:
  • Misalignment:
    If the sensor is misaligned, the infrared beam may not reach the receiver, causing the gate to malfunction.
  • Obstructions:
    Debris, dirt, or other obstructions can interfere with the beam and trigger false alarms.
  • Sensor Failure:
    Like any electronic device, sensors can fail over time, requiring replacement.
