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.

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.

Magnetic lock

*Capacity: 180 Kg *DC 12 V A magnetic lock, also known as an electromagnetic lock or maglock, is a locking device that uses the principles of electromagnetism to secure a door. Unlike traditional mechanical locks, it has no moving parts.   How It Works A magnetic lock consists of two main components:
  • Electromagnet: This is typically mounted on the door frame. It contains a coil of wire wrapped around a ferromagnetic core.
  • Armature Plate: This is a steel plate mounted on the door itself, designed to align with the electromagnet.
When an electric current is supplied to the electromagnet, it generates a powerful magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts the armature plate, creating a strong bond that holds the door securely shut. To unlock the door, the power supply to the electromagnet is interrupted, causing the magnetic field to collapse and the door to release. Magnetic locks are generally fail-safe, meaning that in the event of a power outage, they automatically unlock. This is a crucial safety feature for emergency exits, as it ensures people can evacuate a building even if the power fails.   Advantages
  • High Security: Magnetic locks can provide a very strong holding force, making them difficult to force open. They are also virtually unpickable, as there are no keyholes or cylinders.
  • Durability and Low Maintenance: With no moving parts, magnetic locks experience less wear and tear than traditional locks, leading to greater longevity and reduced maintenance needs.
  • Quick Operation: They unlock instantly when power is cut, allowing for quick release, which is beneficial in high-traffic areas or emergencies.
  • Remote Operation and Access Control Integration: Magnetic locks can be easily integrated into electronic access control systems, allowing for remote operation, key card/fob access, biometric scanning, and detailed access logging.
  • Versatility: They can be installed on various door types, including glass, wood, and metal, and are suitable for both swinging and sliding doors.
  • Ease of Installation: Compared to some other electric locks, maglocks can be relatively straightforward to install.
  Disadvantages
  • Constant Power Requirement: Magnetic locks need a continuous power supply to remain locked. This means they are dependent on electricity, and a power outage will result in the door unlocking (fail-safe).
  • Cost: While the initial cost of the lock itself might be comparable, the overall installation can be more expensive due to the need for electrical wiring, power supplies, and integration with other security systems.
  • Additional Hardware for Safety: To comply with building codes and ensure safe egress, magnetic locks often require additional hardware such as push-to-exit buttons, motion sensors, or panic bars.
  • Maintenance of Backup Systems: If battery backups are used to mitigate power outages, these batteries require regular checking and replacement.
